Good stuff and lots of it! Here’s the low down on some fine things to see, sip or savour – all of which I’ve recently come across and thought were worth sharing with you. Enjoy.
Bloomon
Dutch subscription flower delivery service, Bloomon, has launched to the UK
providing weekly bouquet delivery service shipping direct from growers to customers’ homes. According to Bloomon, cutting out the middleman from the cut flowers process can save five days of flower freshness compared to more typical deliveries. Bloomon offers three subscription options for weekly delivery: small, medium and large straight-to-vase arrangements with prices starting at £20.95 per weekly bouquet.
ChariTea & LemonAid
Drinking helps. Or, at least, that’s what the folks behind charity bevvies ChariTea and LemonAid believe. Their soft drinks made with Fairtrade ingredients organically grown at certified small farming cooperatives. Proceeds from every bottle sold go to support social projects in their farmers’ local communities. ChariTea Red (rooibos with passion fruit and elderberry), ChariTea Mate, and LemonAid Blood Orange are my faves.
HouseTrip
Have you tried HouseTrip? It’s one of the largest holiday rental sites in the world. Only listing whole homes, it offers an alternative to hotels, flexibility, value for money and loads of benefits at no extra charge. Now – available on most bookings – you can book your next holiday home with just a 20% deposit with free cancellation if your plans change.
PhotoFast MemoriesCable
My PhotoFast MemoriesCable “large capacity USB” has turned out to be something of a mini lifesaver. The tiny 13cm cable works as a charging cable and a flash drive so you can stream, backup and charge my iPhone or iPad at the same time. I’ve got the 32GB cable, but PhotoFast also makes 64GB and 128GB cables too.
