This Is Your Cook Book personalised cook book

Personalised Cook Book

As a family who love cooking, and who have many cook books, this is a brilliant idea. We received a personalised cook book, and I am so impressed with the quality and recipes inside. The cover is a soft matt finish, featuring striking imagery, and the name of your recipient. The recipes also look eye-wateringly yummy too. I hope that my husband is going to enjoy cooking some of these meals for me. The personalised cook books are £15.00, plus £2.95 delivery, and you can choose your front cover design, a message, and either add your own favourite recipes, or choose from the list on the website.

The morning side kick journal

Master your morning side kick journal

I’m a firm believer in setting every day goals at the start of each day. And, this is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to be better at getting things done and conquering their mornings. The concept behind the morning side-kick journal is setting yourself small actionable tasks to complete in the morning, and then ticking these off as you achieve them. You then evaluate how you felt, and what benefits it brought to you, and then applying these to the next morning. I really like the sound of this book, I might just have to keep this one for myself. The morning side kick journal costs in the region of £33.00, and can be ordered from Habit Nest which includes shipping to the UK.

This concept has grown and you can now get a Man Package. It’s brilliant the package contains chocolate tiffins, a Mens Magazine, Scott-Nichol Socks, Gourmet Nuts, Coffee Beans, and Clinique gift. So this really is the perfect present, that any man would appreciate. The Father’s Day Package is available from £30.00.
