The Mother's Day Gift Guide: The blingy edition.

My mum is like a magpie around anything that sparkles.  So sharp is this magpie-like skill that she saw my engagement ring before my hand was out of my pocket.  

The gifts featured below are guaranteed to bring a smile to the chops of any magpie-like mum.  Chops has been my word of the week by the way, I've been using it a lot more than I really should.  If you're nice, she might just let you share..but I wouldn't hold your breath because if I got some of the items below, I wouldn't even let you look at them.
  1. Leather measuring tap: £15.00
  2. Swarovski iPad cover: £675.00
  3. Large Heart Ornament: £45.00
  4. Swarovski iPad cover: £675.00

    Remember in the other guide when I said I preferred giving an actual present and not something practical..well' theyve managed to mix the kind of everyday product I use with the kind of everyday sparkle that I love.  Look how gorgeous these pens are..

    And for those that want to give something a bit sleeker or something for a Shakespeare in the making...
    1.  Pewter Feather Quill and Ink set: £17.99 (I LOVE this..being the wannabe word smith that I am, I can imagine me penning letters by candle-light, and thus, bringing together two of my loves..I know it won't happen but a girl can dream!)

    3. Laban Swarovski Crystal Sterling Ballpen: £98.49
