Christmas Shopping Advice From Auntie Lily

Hello my pretty pets! Auntie Lily here, and I'm back to help everyone solve their shopping dilemmas! Our first cry for help comes to us from Jordan in Surrey. It reads:

"Auntie Lily, my family leads a very hectic and visible lifestyle. My hubby Pete and I have done a ton of travelling this year including a trip to South Africa in September to re-new our wedding vows. This has meant that we haven't been home much. On top of that we've also had a lot of "company" around the house so it's very important to us that our 3 darling children have an outstanding Christmas. I need your ideas for our 2 boys, ages 6 & 3 and our little "Princess" age 1. I need it to seem like I spent as much time shopping for these presents as I did curling my lashes this morning so I'm really counting on you Auntie Lily. But lets be honest, I'll take all the credit. Cheers, J"

Jordan, don't get your knickers in a twist, I've got you covered. First off for your oldest, I'm sure with 2 younger siblings running around he could really use his own space so an ideal gift for him would be either the Cowboys & Indians or Teddy Bears Picnic Wigwam. It's good for indoor or outdoor play so he can enjoy it year-round.

Now on to your 3 year old. They're tough on their toys at that age so why not get him something durable and fun like a wooden cement mixer, digger or dumper truck from Orange Tree Toys. They are priced so well you could get him the whole set!

Now last but not least, your little "Princess". Let's be honest, she'll be more interested in the wrapping paper on Christmas morning so now is the perfect time to build her a Tales From The Earth keepsake collection starting with the beautiful little Silver Rocking Horse.

You'll find all of these items at www.madmolly.co.uk. And while you're there you can also check off the rest of the names on your list and get everything gift wrapped too! That'll leave you so much time on your hands that you get married again before Christmas!

MadMolly, the finest gifts and presents on the web because life is for living... and giving.

Ta Ta For Now,
Auntie Lily

The Truth About UK Landlord Insurance

Historically they've been known as the people you don't want to be seated next to at a dinner party. No, I'm not talking about Proctologists. I'm referring to Insurance Brokers.

However, if you're a Landlord in the UK and you were seated next to a staff member from Cover4 you'd get up much more informed then when you sat down.

You'd learn that Cover4 insures over 40,000 let properties and that they've been in business for over 60 years. Okay, stay with me here, this is where it gets interesting.

Did you know that you can get a substantial discount if you combine all the let properties you own into one Multi Property Landlord Insurance Policy? Not only will you enjoy a lower premium but you'll also have the added convenience of only one renewal date on your policies. I thought that would get your attention.

Here's something else you may not know. All of the Occupied Residential Lets Policies offered through Cover4 include malicious damage by your tenants where many of their competitors policies do not have that clause and fail to point that fact out. Your policy through Cover4 could also include Subsidence, Fire, Theft, Flood, Rent Guarantee, Legal Expense Cover and so much more.

They also provide Unoccupied Property Insurance and since the main complaint most people have is the time limit imposed on these policies, Cover4 offers a long term option which takes away that stress and hassle.

What you'll find with Cover4 is that a lot of their Standard options are extras with other companies. You'll also find that an appointment with them is much more pleasant then one with a Proctologist.

Scaffold Tower Sales Introduces The Safe Brace

These days hardly anyone feels secure. With so many companies taking the short road to make their customers feel safe and not actually making their products safer, it's no wonder we feel this way.

We all know it's mandatory to wear a helmet on a motorcycle and we wouldn't drive our vehicle without insurance would we? So, why aren't there more regulations in place regarding the transportation of scaffolding on the work site?

Every year there are over 4500 scaffold related injuries. The HSE reported that "More than a third of all over-three-day injuries reported each year to HSE and local authorities are caused by manual handling - the transporting or supporting of loads by hand or by bodily force".

With a bit of research you'll realise that there aren't many scaffolding companies out there that are going above and beyond what's required.

However one company, Scaffold Tower Sales, has proven that there is someone out there with safety and innovation in mind. Not only do they provide Kite Marked BSEN1004 Certified access scaffold Towers that are second to none in the industry, they have developed a product to make the journey to and from the work site safer!

The original “Safe Brace” is made from tough polypropylene plastic and holds up to 10 braces of all lengths and makes safely. The Safe Brace allows for total control when transporting braces from storage to the work site. Best of all this product is offered for FREE with every industrial scaffold tower purchased from Scaffold Tower Sales. They can also be purchased separately.

If you are a worker on a construction site or a builder, you need to keep safety in mind at all times so, why not just make that a bit easier on yourself by calling Scaffold Tower Sales today at 0845 257 5991 and inquire about their products.

Why Vacation In Brittany Instead Of Cornwall?

Here is the truth about some of the most common misconceptions passed down
throughout the years:

1.Thomas Crapper invented the flush toilet.
- False, Sir John Harrington did.

2.Bats are blind.
- False, most just can't distinguish between colours.

3.It is cheaper to vacation in Cornwall then in Brittany.
-False, even though some local travel agencies would have you believe the contrary. Truth be told, in peak season the price of a multi-bedroom villa in Cornwall could run you between £2600 to £2800 per week but The Villa Company has several hand picked units in Brittany under £2000, some even under £1500. And this is in peak season!

We'll give you a moment to get over the shock. We had always thought bats were blind too! Seriously though, it is shocking to find out that the borders on your vacation options just blew open. Exciting too!

And just so we're clear, we're not talking about bottom of the line units either because most of The Villa Company properties come with choice amenities including a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, TV, DVD player, and barbecue.

Oh, and did I also mention that most come with a private indoor pool? Now, no matter what the weather is like outside you can still enjoy a dip whenever you fancy! You may not find that option often in Cornwall!

Another positive is, no matter how many people you're traveling with, The Villa Company offers properties to cater from 2 to 10 or more people.

When you're planning your next holiday keep in mind that thanks to The Villa Company, it's just a short ferry ride across the English Channel to a whole new world of experience and culture in Brittany.

Start planning your holiday today at The Villa Company.

Which Would Bear Grylls Choose?

Somewhere in the barren Sahara Desert safely tucked in a camel carcass protected from the harsh elements, Bear Grylls reaches for his trusty Garmin Colorado 300 Worldwide Basemap. He has an important decision to make because one wrong turn will send him farther away from his rescue party...

Somewhere in the crowded city of London safely tucked in a wool blanket protected from the wet weather outside, Ben Gallagher reaches for his laptop. He also has an important decision to make because if he doesn't get a Satellite Navigation System soon he'll keep being late for work and his boss won't get off his a**.

Thankfully Ben only needs to go to one website to find what he needs, the same place Bear Grylls gets his gear, www.globalgizmos.co.uk.

Just in time for Christmas, Global Gizmos ordered in 5 new models of Garmin Sat-Navs which range in price and number of features. For example if you stick close to home, the Nuvi 215T comes preloaded with street maps for the UK and Ireland. But for you wanderers out there, the Garmin Nuvi 775T comes preloaded with highly detailed City Navigator® NT road maps for North America and Europe.

All of the 5 new models come with Bluetooth, so no matter which one you choose you'll be able to stay fully connected.

Get yours today at www.globalgizmos.co.uk. Global Gizmos, for the adventurer in all of us!

Update: Bear found his way out of the Sahara Desert and is now safely tucked away in a snow cave in Patagonia.

Ben chose the Garmin Nuvi 265T and hasn't been late for work since and his a** is now officially boss free.

Shopping Advice From Auntie Lily

Man or woman. Young or old. It doesn't matter, there's one quest that unites us all... the search for the perfect present!

Well stress no more my pets, Auntie Lily is here and I've made it my personal mission to help people succeed in their hunt to find that gift that says “Wow, now that's something I didn't even know I couldn't live without!”

Our first assignment comes from Charles in Wales. He's looking for a Christmas present for his parents, a couple who already seem to own one of everything.

No worries Chuck! Here's a few ideas for you. Let's start with Mum first. Does she have a stressful job? Try Segreti Mediterranei Moisturising Anti-stress Face Cream SPF4 with Artichoke and Olive Leaves. Does she do a fair amount of entertaining? Why not pick her up some Mussel Eaters or a Silver Plated Champagne Cork Cruet Set by Culinary Concepts. They both make great conversation pieces!

Now, on to Dad! Does he like to travel? I bet he'd fancy a Black with Cinnamon Edge Travel Card Wallet by Simon Carter. Or maybe he's known for his love of his country? A perfect choice, also by Simon Carter, is a pair of George Cross Cufflinks in guillouch enamel which will be sure to bring out his patriotic side!

Well Charles, I think I've set you on the right path to find the perfect presents for your hard to please parents but if you want a few more options or if you're ready to place your order then go to the website where all the shrewd shoppers like myself go – www.madmolly.co.uk
