SUPERIOR STOCKING FILLERS
- iMusic Pillow: The perfect gift for the music lover in your life, the iMusic pillow combines all the sumptuous comfort of a high quality pillow with the convenience of a hidden speaker deep within. The iMusic Sound Asleep pillow connects to a phone or MP3 player to let you listen to music or audiobooks in bed, all without disturbing your sleeping partner.

These gorgeous, unique decorations are perfectly tied with shimmering organza to hang from your Christmas tree, making it a perfect way to celebrate a baby’s first Christmas, a gift for someone special or a keepsake for a couples first Christmas together.
- KeyFolio Pro 2: Designed for one of the most popular non Apple devices on the market today, the KeyFolio Pro 2 turns your Galaxy Tab into a miniature laptop, complete with removable keyboard. The compact design protects the tablet itself, and the Bluetooth keyboard ensures faster, more accurate typing.
TOP CLASS TOKENS
- Gift voucher for Ellenborough Park: Cheltenham is renowned for its excellent shopping, upmarket spas and high octane horse racing. You can indulge your loved one with a gift voucher to spend at the stunning Ellenborough Park Hotel, a luxury Cotswold hotel situated within easy reach of the town. Vouchers can be redeemed against meals, afternoon tea, an overnight stay or a spa treatment. Vouchers start at £25 making this the perfect present whether you’re on a budget or not.
- Harrods Hamper: As the one time of the year all diets can be legitimately thrown out of the window, everyone is guaranteed to adore a luxury Christmas hamper. Choose from hampers of wines and spirits, traditional food hampers or pure premium hampers to suit your recipient and budget.
- Lunch at the Ritz: If you want to give someone a real treat, why not give them the gift of a luxury three course lunch at the five star Ritz in London. Attentive service, magnificent décor and an iconic London landmark combine to make this experience something really special, all from just £120.
PREMIUM PRESENTS
- Razor Crazy Cart: If you’ve got a troublesome teen to enthral (or an adult with the mentality of a teen), don’t overlook the immensely fun Razor Crazy Cart. It’s a battery powered go kart that reaches speeds of up to 12 mph when going in a straight line, but lift the drift bar and it turns into a different beast. Spin, drift, slide and drive it forwards, backwards or diagonally. This is one cool toy that will have kids big and small enraptured at Christmas, but at £400 each, its one big investment for a very small car.
- Sennheiser RS 180 Open Digital Wireless Headphones: These might be some of the most expensive headphones on the market right now, but they are probably the absolute best in the business. Forget celebrity endorsed oversized cans, these headphones are the business. With digital wireless connection, surround sound and dynamic bass, they really are the very best that money can buy.
- Pebble Steel: These days it’s all about wearable tech, but if you don’t feel the ridiculous appearance of Google Glass will appear to your recipient, then how about a smart watch? The Pebble Steel looks more like a fashion piece than a ridiculous gadget, and pairs seamlessly with your Android or iPhone device. Important alerts are delivered to your wrist, and with over 1,000 apps available, you’ll be amazed at what you can do with this decadent device.
Whatever you decide to buy your lucky gift recipients, we hope you have an enjoyable Christmas and a great start to 2015.
