Gifts for the modern man

06/08/2016

This years Modern man is Marc who has a birthday coming up. We usually ‘pool’ our birthday gifts as mine is only two weeks after his, so we turn the money we would have spent on unnecessary gifts into a fun weekend away together…

Gifts for the Modern man

I do like to pack a few gifts to take with me. I then present them to him at breakfast and dinner as surprises. These gifts however come with certain specifications in that they have to be…

  • Small enough to hide in my packing,
  • Well priced
  • Amusing
  • Useful

So where would you go shopping for gifts like this? I turn to my fave online shop Rex london

it never lets me down and fulfills all of the above! This year I have chosen five things from the range The Modern Man it makes shopping sooo easy

 

1. The Birthday card: keeping it simple but stylish, I will slip it under his pillow!

 

 

 

2. The Shoeshine kit:  So handy to keep in you carry on, this one is lovely quality too. A modern man always needs shiney shoes and Marc’s old one is falling to pieces.

 

 

3. The wash bag, You can never have too many, and it can double up as a portable emergency tool bag. ‘Be prepared’ surely every good boy Scout knows that

4. A handy dandy mens manicure kit, the one he uses at the moment is one of those cheap freebie hotel ones.

 

5. A simple clothes brush, boring you may think? aha but you have to know your modern man, Marc has a lovely black winter coat that shows up every spec of lint or dog hair so he usually uses sellotape to smarten it up before wearing.

 

 

Job done! everything a ‘Modern man’ could want? Next I am shopping for the teen, yep it’s a tough  job but someone has to do it!

By the way this is a fan post not a sponsored post! I do love Rex London.

 More clever gift ideas for any blogger friends you may know

I'd so appreciate you sharing this post!

I’m finally getting back to writing and more importantly enjoying writing blog posts! 
This week I’ve written about how you can save money by buying tablecloths instead of fabric when sewing linen. 
In case you don’t sew I’ve also included a few linen dresses and comfy wide trousers (my next make )for you to peruse too. 
Let me know what you think, it’s a short read and you can find the link in my stories and in my bio under ‘latest blog post’

First dress #isabellatop by @hubbadingpatterns 
Second @mccallpatterncompany #m7969
Third my favourite #validress by @patternfantastique

Lurking in old alleys & having a good hair day. 
Wearing my handmade version of an Arket kaftan dress. Challenged myself to see if I could do it. I did, win win. My version cost £30 theirs was £69. My friend Amanda  @simply.start.living has the real deal and the linen is much nicer. But overall it’s a fair copy of the original (imo) what say you? 
.
Fabric a linen mix from @sew__jessalli used the #arraytop pattern @papercutpatterns I also made a belt for it.

This little boy is nearly 11 years old. The time has flown. He is healthy for his age but is beginning to suffer with arthritis. 
He finds all the best soft squishy cushions to lay on and loves this Moroccon pouffe!
We are reasearching care of older dogs and wondering if anyone has advice on making life easier for arthritic older dogs. Any suggestions very much appreciated. The vet suggested anti inflammatory meds.
