Summer Fun

With the celebrations of May Day behind us, we are now finally entering the beginnings of the summer - and after last year's washout let's hope this year is a scorcher! Keeping all things summery in mind and crossing my fingers behind my back, I'm going to talk to you this week about the best ways in which to enjoy the sunshine with your loved ones.

My favourite thing to do in the summer is take a picnic to a quiet spot somewhere with those I care about most and indulge them with gastronomic treats and bubbly drinks till the sun goes down. Of course, this idea will undoubtedly conjure up images of family days out in most reader's minds, but it needn't be this way. After all a hamper doesn't have to be about sandwiches and flasks: why not give the one you love an Aphrodite Hamper this summer and see how hot your nights together can get?

Packed with everything delightful you could imagine from champagne truffles to honey dust (complete with handy feather tickler), this is the perfect romantic gesture given either as part of a weekend away or as a surprise reason to stay in. So forget the traditional cucumber sandwiches and the inevitable ant invasion and invest in a luxury hamper of a different kind to make your summer swing...

If you're looking for a gift for yourself this summer, why not get a stylish addition for your precious garden? Having spent long hours during the early months of the year to get it looking its best in the hot season, why not take a look at our wonderful range of Watering Cans and Garden Tools to see how the fruits of your labour can look even more spectacular with a few choice accessories.

With tool kits designed by the V & A museum, what could be more stylish than Floral Secateurs or Linen Gardening Gloves to add to the beauty of your carefully tended garden? As a reward for all your hard work there's nothing better you could wish for (apart from a ban on hosepipe bans this summer!)
