Amazing Pages has a perfect stunner of a gift for your child!

Seeking out a truly personalised, high quality Christmas gift like nothing you have ever seen before?

Well, Amazing Pages can help you, right there!

Because they can offer you an unprecedented chance to put your child at the heart of their reading journey.

At a stunningly modest price of from £16.99, Amazing Pages children’s books weave real life experiences, names and a photograph of the child together with high quality art work to create a truly unique Christmas gift.

Unlike other personalised books that are available, each of the three Amazing Pages titles offer different personalising options like the names of your child’s friends, school, favourite food, hobbies and a time when they felt shy.

To complete the package, the photograph of the child can be enhanced to blend with the art work, or if no photo is available, the website enables users to personalise the central character further to include skin tone, hair style and colour, using the Character Customiser  application.

The handmade books are aimed at boys and girls up to the age of seven and are made to order using high quality, digital, full colour printing with “perfect bound” soft covers.

The ethos of this family run business is simple but clear; they offer beautiful, one of a kind, personalised books that excite children about the joys of reading.

For younger children, yet to learn to read, seeing their own photograph upon the page, ensures they can identify that this very special story is all about them.

Founder, James Cooper started the company after creating books for his two young daughters. Remembering a primitive, personalised book from his own childhood, he recognised the same “magical feeling of reading a book and realising it’s all about you!”

“I looked around at what was on offer and was disappointed. I wanted to create an alternative to the cheesy, commercial personalised books and offer grandparents, parents and children the opportunity to share in something that was truly special to them.”

Ordering Amazing Pages books couldn’t be easier. A simple, user friendly online video guide  shows customers how to make the most of the personalisation options and once ordered, books are delivered within five days.

The family business will soon be launching personalised A3 colour wall prints (framed or un-framed) in the same imaginative and personalised style as their three books.
Watch this space; Amazing Pages offers all it takes to be the next big thing in personalised children’s gifts, but don’t just take it from us, our customer’s reviews speak volumes:

“My four year old adores these beautiful books with their retro illustrations and clever, personalised stories. He wants them read again and again.” – Susanna, London.

“The book is brilliant! Harry was amazed at how all his favourite things were in it, and he couldn't wait to show his best friend that he was mentioned in it too.” – Simon, Manchester.

“The quality of these books is fantastic...I’ve had other customised books given to me in the past and they seemed a lot more “cookie cutter” style with a lot less attention to detail.” – Suzanne, London.

Voice Behind the Mask

The book Voice Behind the Mask is a thrilling book by Doctor George Lahoud, MD.

From the first page I was gripped by the terse yet compelling writing style of Doctor Lahoud.

And yet this is not a work of fiction, it is a factual book that details the extraordinary professional life of Dr Lahoud as he worked as an NHS anaesthetist.

However he also worked overseas as the personal physician to the Saudi Arabian Royal Family when he was employed for several years At the King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah.

He also spent time in Harvard University, Massachusetts, where he was an instructor in anaesthesia.

Some the stories are sad, some horrific and some amusing, but all are extremely well related by the author who has a keen eye for the absurd and with and the ability to relate these recollections to his readers!

How he saved a patient from bleeding on the operating table when two other doctors had, apparently, not been taught about the law of gravity, how he was able to demand, and get, a heater for the decrepit house that a hospital had provided him, his young wife and baby son.

Read how he thought he had accidentally detached an elderly patient's head, how he managed to successfully perform the role of a plastic surgeon, because one was just not available, how he had to deal with an unorthodox and xenophobic Scotish anaesthetist who had an incredibly short fuse and some bizarre methods of working.

George also touches on his own health problems in a straightforward and no nonsense fashion.

This book is a must buy Christmas present and at only £8.99 it will make an excellent gift for admirers of well-written memoirs and books about medical matters.

It is published by Matador and is available from our gift store at https://goo.gl/KUU3gK.

Choconchoc, another way to say: "Merry Christmas!" to that special someone!

But especially if that special someone is a chocolate lover!

Visit their website, www.choconchoc.co.uk and be reay for a bewildering but deeply fantastic choice of chocolate and chocolate items.

The chocolates are guaranteed to have been handmade in Great Britain, so there's none of that disappointment when you think you are buying a special chocolate Christmas gift that has been made in Great Britain only to find that it is now made in a far cheaper country in some far-flung part of the European Empire. (EDITOR: Even though the production costs would then be perhaps one third of the previous UK production facility, the price to the consumer remains just as high. Funny, that!)

But with Choconchoc when it says Made in Great Britain, that's what it means!

Some of the gifts not only taste good, they will also raise a smile, too.

For example, you can buy a presentation box of sprouts. But don't worry! Even though they are exquisitely made, perfect representations of this plucky, yet somewhat bitter, brassica, they are created out of delicious white chocolate. A box of 8 costs £8.99.

Other stunning items include a Christmas Celebration Cake (made of a kilo of chocolate!) for £30, chocolate doughnuts, chocolate elf boots, Chocolate Mince Pies and Prosecco (even the bottle is made of chocolate!) and so much more, including special chocolate hampers.

Want cheese and crackers after your meal? As you might expect, even though it looks like real cheese, it's actually cleverly made from chocolate!

Choconchoc brings the fun and frivolity back to the festive season!

Lord's Cricketing gifts, ideal for the cricket lover in your life

Other items include portable phone chargers, umbrellas, plus an amazing range of homeware including a glass paperweight (containing genuine Lord's turf!) plus mugs and even a very special teatowel that explains the many and varied rules of the game of cricket!


 

Gillette Fusion Proshield razor, an ideal Christmas gift

The Gillette Fusion Proshield razor is an ideal Christmas gift for the person who does not like using electric razors.

There are a variety of reasons as to why this might be. They like the whole process of washing their face, applying the shaving foam or the shaving oil and then applying the wet razor to their skin.

Or perhaps they feel that a wet bladed shave is better than a dry, electric shave?

Whatever their reasoning, you can be sure that the Gillette Fusion Proshield razor will be an ideal Christmas gift for them.

How so? There is lubrication twice, both before and after the blades, and because Gillette know that not every face is exactly the same, they have designed a stunningly effective flex ball to make certain that the Gillette Fusion Proshield razor follows every one of the unique contours of the shaver's face.

And it has cooling technology during the shave to help the shaver get exactly the kind of sophisticated, cool shave that they will e thrilled to receive.

And not only that, there's a special precision trimmer on the back to make certain that the edging is perfect.

They are available from chemists and supermarkets all over the country and cost £15.00 from Ocado and £12.00 from Morrisons.

Add some other Gillette shaving after aftershave products and you will have a Christmas gift that you can be proud to give the shaver in your life!
