It’s the thought that counts…
5 January 2010
With the ‘credit crunch’ not far from everyone’s mind, now is a good time to look for those gifts for valentine’s day that will melt your valentine’s heart, but not break the bank! As someone who isn’t a big fan of the day I’m happy to receive nothing, but I know a lot of people choose 14th February to declare how much they love their partner. It needn’t break the bank though.

Relaxing bath pillow
5 January 2010
I bought this bath pillow and have only today managed to use it. It is fabulous. It has two little suction pads that hold it in pace and the all you need to do is rest back and relax!
I usually shower, but when I do have a bath I have previously used a towel to rest my head on. It is useless in comparison to this pillow. I could’ve happily stayed there for ever!
It has a removable cover for washing and as my son used it before me and managed to leave it in the bath where his brother left it whilst he showered, I can tell you it dries out easily too! I put it in the washing machine to ’spin’ as it was sodden as you can imagine, but it dried out perfectly.
This would make a fantastic little gift for someone, especially with valentine’s day and Mother’s day coming up. Add some nice bubble bath and candles and it’s the perfect present!
