Google Analytics. It’s where spreadsheet geekdom and out and out nosiness collide! I find it endlessly fascinating to look at the things that people have been searching for and somehow ended up here. Some I get, some are interesting, some really badly spelt (please, do you know what that does to me?) and some just [...]

I’ve written before about great food gifts from Heal’s. In 2010, the most popular gift I wrote about was the paté gift boxes, so no surprise to see those back this year. And they were a winner in 2010, and they’d been there in 2009. As had the hot water bottle and hot chocolate gift [...]

I think we all know, and can feel it’s been a tough year, and belts are a notch tighter. And now Christmas is just around the corner. So how do we still give great gifts and keep the bank manager on side come January? DIY. I know I wrote about this last year as well, [...]

I was on a very rare weekend foray into town last weekend, and made a quick detour through John Lewis to see whether they had got festive yet, as their foodie gifts are often interesting. Whilst not having looked at the offer online in any great detail, these are the things that caught my eye [...]

The weather is getting colder, and I see the countdown to Christmas most definitely beginning. Which makes me think about what will be appearing as Christmas gifts for food lovers. And just how many disappointing things there might be out there. So here’s a few thoughts on things I really, really hope not to [...]
A good look at tea with Bellevue Tea

I wrote last year about how much I like Bellevue Tea, and liked them so much it’s what I gave my team for Christmas. Which means I’ve got to work out what to give them this year, but if I was going back to Bellevue then I’d be going for this colourful option: The tea [...]

I don’t watch a lot of Oprah, but I do know what a huge effect she has on product sales (think Richard and Judy’s bookclub and times it by about a thousand). So her festive favourite things is bound to have a big effect on sales in the US, and quite a few of them had [...]
