It seemed to me that she was searching for something to rest her feet on and when I actually stopped and thought about it, why wouldn't she? I mean imagine sitting to the dinner table and having your legs suspended mid air, unable to shift position, it can't be very comfortable. So, I started to research chairs with footrests. Initially I was finding more </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">high chairs, which at 1 already I knew Liv wouldn't get much use out of so I took to trusty Social Media and asked for any recommendations - the response was overwhelming and all praising the o</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ne and only <a href="https://www.stokke.com/GBR/en-gb/highchairs/tripp-trapp/1001.html" rel="nofollow">Stokke Tripp Trapp®</a>!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You see, the seat and foot plates are both fully adjustable, meaning it is easy to arrange them at the perfect height for your table while allowing the Child to have their feet on a solid surface. We immediately noticed a difference to how Liv ate, no more lifting her legs, she sat straighter and had better control with her cutlery from being sat properly.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;"><br />“In 1972 the only sitting devices for children from the age of two onwards were special, low chairs, or ordinary chairs designed and intended for grown-ups. My objective was that one chair should seat persons of all sizes in a natural way at the same table. My hope was that this would make sitting at the table more enjoyable and make activities easier to perform there.”</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><i><br /></i></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She has used her </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tripp Trapp® every day since, it has grown with her and will continue to do so until Adulthood. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If we had not bought the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tripp Trapp® ou</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">r choices after a high chair would have been an adult sized dining chair (image below) or a booster seat, neither of which would have her at the correct height for the table and she would be left with nowhere to rest her feet again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is even more brilliant about this particular chair is that it is suitable from Newborn (with the addition of the <a href="https://www.stokke.com/GBR/en-gb/w/accessories/1871.html?dwvar_1871_color=110" rel="nofollow">Newborn Set</a>) you can then attach the <a href="https://www.stokke.com/GBR/en-gb/w/accessories/1005.html?dwvar_1005_color=103" rel="nofollow">harness</a> while you need to keep your little one restrained at the table, then remove when they are older. One of the things Liv loves is the independence of being able to get up onto her chair by herself, a must for any self respecting 3 year old! It's also pretty much identical to its original 1972 design - now how many products can say that?!</span></div>

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />My Mum and I both love this wonderfully festive gin. We simply pop some in a glass with tonic or lemonade, however you could cover the rim in crushed candy canes or even add a small candy cane into the glass to make them really stand out at a party.<br /><br /> This gin is not as minty as the name and colour would suggest! Using mild peppermint for flavour, and bilberry and hibiscus for colour this delightful gin is sweet on the palate, with a subtle juniper and berry taste. This will definitely be featuring in our household every year!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All us dog owners understand the constant battle of trying to keep your floors clean. Gtech have come to our rescue this year with this unique bagged pet vacuum.<br /><br />With no cords holding you back, and no need to change plug sockets while moving around your home, the Pro K9 not only lets you roam free but there’s no temptation for pets to chew power cords.<br /><br />The K9 pro is lightweight with a rotating brush bar, specifically designed to pick up pet hair from carpets and hard floors, while the unique AirLOC system lifts large debris as well as embedded dust and hair.<br /><br />The airflow from the vacuum compresses the dirt and continually pushes it down, giving each bag increased capacity and with no filters to maintain due to the triple layered bag trapping all dust, maintenance is also kept to a minimum.<br /><br />I'm hoping to find one of these beauties under my tree on the 25th.</span></div>

My Dad is usually washing the car or strolling around the caravan site at the weekend, getting a telling off from my Mum for coming inside with muddy shoes and wet feet.<br /><br />Well no more! Wrapped under the tree this Christmas morning he will find his very own pair of lightweight waterproof boots.<br /><br />With sealed seams and a gusseted tongue to keep water out, he could easily hose them down or wash them off at the tap to get them clean. Finishing touches to these rugged boots include a soft faux lining around the collar and the comfortable cushion of Dual Crocs Comfort<br /><br />Available from <a href="http://www.crocs.co.uk/">www.crocs.co.uk</a> for £89.99</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If your Mum is anything like mine, she will always be on the lookout for a better skincare range. Now she is past 50 she has noticed a few changes to her skin and some pigmentation patches that have appeared. When I came across this Re-Gen range that is described as a regenerative oil which is suitable for the face and body, I immediately decided to gift some of the range to my Mum this Christmas.<br /><br />Consisting of an anti-ageing facial serum, a non-greasy face and body cream, a convenient continuous spray and a dry skin gel, the range contains the active ingredient PCL Liquid which protects skin from drying out and improves its natural elasticity, leaving you with radiant looking skin. <br /><br />The combination of subtle floral fragrances, essential oils and vital vitamins helps to ensure the correct care for your skin.<br /><br />Available from Primark, Asda, B&M and Amazon and other retailers.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Our first together was back in 2005 when we had only been a couple for 6 months. We went on a bargain holiday to Bulgaria where it rained for 6 of our 7 days there, all our excursions were cancelled and we only got had enough sunshine for an hour in the outdoor pool the whole week!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">However we loved it. We had a great time together, talked got hours, ate/drank too much and still look back on it very fondly. Fast forward ten years and I'm not sure how fun it would be with an almost 3 year old to amuse! Times were very different then though and revolved around bars and restaurants not soft play areas and My Little Pony!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As a couple we have been to a few different places and would sometimes go on a few long weekend breaks instead of an actual holiday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Once Liv was born we went to Haven in <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Lincolnshire for her first holiday, along with my Parents. We have been to the Dominican Republic with Family got my 30th Birthday, to Haven with 10 Family members </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">and even to Florida for 3 weeks when Liv was almost 2 - thankfully the internet</span></span> kept us in the good books allowing us to Facetime the Grandparents on the go - they were not happy we had taken little Miss away for 3 whole weeks I can tell you!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">My Husbands favourite holiday with his family was Disneyland Paris. My Mother in Law spent many hours entering competitions back then and was very lucky to win a Family holiday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The holiday that stands out most for me was Zakynthos in Greece way back in 2002 with my Parents and Brother. It was our only family holiday abroad having always holidayed in Devon and Cornwall as a child.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I remember the weather being amazing and the people being ever so friendly. Some of the views were spectacular. My favourite excursion was out to the Navagio (shipwreck) beach in Anafotiria Village. It<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> is the most beautiful sight. It's an exposed cove which holds the wreckage of the Ship Panagiotis which was wrecked on the beach while allegedly smuggling cigarettes in 1983, giving it the nickname "Smugglers Cove".</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0); font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Isn't it beautiful? The limestone cliffs and sparkling, clear blue waters surrounding the shipwreck make for a must see if you are in the area. It </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">really fascinated me. I would definitely take my little family back. It would be interesting to see how it has held up over the last 12 years or so.</span></span><br />

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My hair has a tendency to expand width ways in any heat or humidity and the sheer weight of it would cause a headache if restrained into a ponytail. So I made the decision to cut it off to save me the time and worry of styling and trying to calm the frizz while away.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I felt it was such a shame to waste all of my hair that would be cut off, after seeing two members of my family suffer terribly with a hair loss condition called alopecea, I really became aware of how your hair makes you feel as a person.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you think about it, it can give you confidence when it looks good, it can be used to hide behind like my Mum and a way to express your taste.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It’s quite devastating to have that taken away from you suddenly. Both of my relatives were young women, one lost small patches of her hair which she was extremely conscious about covering and the other simply lost her hair. Virtually over night. All of it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I mentioned this to a friend one morning over coffee and she asked me if I had thought of donating my hair to the Little Princess trust. I looked them up and discovered that they </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">provide real hair wigs free of chargers children and young adults up to the age of 24, who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments and other illnesses. They do this with human </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">hair donations which means they look very realistic and are able to be styled too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, the date was arranged, the hairdresser looked a little pale when I told her my plan and kept asking if I was sure! A few snips later I had just over 18 inches of hair in my hand ready to package up and post.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Domestic violence can be a taboo subject, and many people feel like that they’re not really sure what to say or how to broach the subject. However, it’s important you don’t’ let the fear of saying the wrong thing prevent you from reaching out, because </span><span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">it could be the key to changing someone’s life. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Whilst you might not know anyone who is suffering from domestic abuse, it is still very </span><span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">commone</span><span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">, and it’s said that one in four women will experience at some point in their life. And the fact is that they’re most likely to suffer in silence for years before they tell anyone or seek help. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Those who are abused are likely to feel lonely and isolated, so it’s important that the people around them provide some relief by letting them know that they have support and somewhere to turn to if they need it. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Even though you might feel like you’re not doing enough to help, just listening to them speak can help. If you follow the advice below, you’ll go a big way in supporting victims of domestic abuse. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><u>Give them your time</u> </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">It might not seem like much, but if you reach out to someone, ensure that you give them plenty of time to speak and open up. Don’t plan it for a day when you have a million other things to do, </span><span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">because it might take them a while to open up. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><u>A way to start the conversation</u> </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">It’s probably best that you start the conversation, saying things like you’ve noticed changes that concern you, or express the worry you’re feeling. It’s important that they don’t feel like you’re pressing them for information, instead let the conversation flow and they’ll be more likely to open up. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">It’s imperative that the victim doesn’t feel judged by you in any way; otherwise they might not turn to you again. Instead give them time to talk, and just ask questions for clarification. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">

<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">In cases of domestic abuse, it’s likely that the abuser has worn down the victim to believe they’re not worthy of love or friendship. If you offer them your firm belief in what they’re telling you, it can go a long way to helping to build their confidence. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">

<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Let her know and make her believe that it’s not her fault, </span><span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">it’s important for her to know that she doesn’t deserve what is happening to her. </span></div>

<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Let her know about the specific and specialist help she can receive from trained people who can help in this situation. They might be the best option for if she needs help reporting her abuser to the police, or she’d like to leave. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">

<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">It’s important that you don’t try and rush the victim, it could take her a while to realise what is actually happening to her, and then even longer to speak out about it. If you recognise the problem, it can go a long way in helping the situation, and making a difference to the outcome in the long run. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Please be aware, Men are often victims of domestic abuse too, however my experience with friends has been from the female perspective.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Right up there was a few weeks ago when Petplan got in touch and asked if Liv would like design her very own dream horse to be made into a unique stuffed toy for her!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Liv is a huge animal lover, to the extent that she tells everyone she is going to be the Queen of animals when she grows up! This will entail living in a pink castle full of cats and looking after the needs of all the animals in the world. I imagine she will be quite busy, I hope she makes time to visit us regularly!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyone that knows Livs is very aware of her obsession with My a Little Pony and will guess immediately the next question I had to ask - Is it ok if this dream horse also has a horn and wings? With the reply “Of course - anything goes!” We signed up immediately!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Liv emptied out her pencil case and got to work straight away. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Three drafts later she finally had an outline she was happy with and began the next stage - colouring! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A little while later she proudly presented me with her finished drawing, a beautiful alicorn (unicorn with wings)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you can see she has her very own cutie mark just like the My Little Pony characters she has adored for so long. The cutie mark is made up of a heart because she loves and looks after her friends, how adorable!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We sent the design off and waited to see what it was made into, let me tell you it was worth the wait!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Liv couldn’t wait to open the beautiful silky bag it was delivered in and became quite </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">emotional when she saw inside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The likeness in uncanny and the detail that has been copied from the design to the toy is quite extraordinary. Obviously it is completely out of scale and wonky to say the least, but absolutely unique and magical that your Child’s imaginations can be brought to life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ali the alicorn has quickly become Livs best friend. Her old sleep partners have been ditched and Ali gets tucked up in bed when Liv heads off to school. She absolutely adores her and takes great pride telling everyone that she designed her and no one else in the world has one the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The quality is excellent too, not a loose thread in sight. I was also pleased it is made from a soft fleece type material as it will wipe or wash well when it’s inevitably dropped in a puddle or dunked in some dinner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I really hope Livs love of animals continues throughout her life. There is nothing like a loving pet getting all excited to see you! Our 7 month old pup is a joy to see every morning, her little bottom wags along with her tail when she spots us, she has us all firmly under her spell!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Of course if you are lucky enough to own your very own horse or pony, you should make sure you are covered for any accidents or costly illnesses with <a href="https://www.petplanequine.co.uk/" target="_blank">horse insurance from Petplan Equine</a> Pets become part of our families and as such need looking after in the same way, don’t get caught having to think about money should the worst happen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What pets do you have?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This post was made possible by Petplan Equine, however all thoughts are my own.</span><br />

<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />Jawbox is triple distilled very slowly in a traditional copper pot, with eight of the eleven botanicals infused in the spirit. The final three botanicals are put through the vapour extraction method to preserve their delicate flavour and aroma. Local heather from Black Mountain, which overlooks the city of Belfast, is amongst its distinctive blend of botanicals. Created in 2016, Jawbox Gin takes its name from “when the front door was left unlocked and in the kitchen stood the Belfast sink, clothes, dishes and children got washed there, a lot of craic was heard around the Jawbox. It still is.”<br /><br /><br />PRICE: From £30.00 for 70cl ABV: 43%</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />Available in Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Tesco, masterofmalt.com, thewhiskyexchange.com, drinksupermarket.com, Amazon & other good retailers. </span><br />

<span class="s5" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">In this post, we offer some quick and simple tips that can help you to revamp your van and ensure you travel in style.</span><br />

</div>
<div class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s5" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">From mud, to dog hair, to window mould, campervans can get pretty mucky pretty quickly. So, before your next trip, take a little time to have a thorough clean out. Armed with the right gear, from a vacuum and hard bristle brush to a carpet cleaner, you should be able to get your camper spic and span in no time. If your carpets and mats are beyond saving, why not order replacements online. </span><span class="s5" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Specialist van equipment and accessories suppliers such as </span><a href="http://www.vandemon.co.uk/"><span class="s8" style="color: #1155cc; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Van Demon</span></a><span class="s5" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"> offer </span></span><span class="s5" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">carpet and rubber mats that can instantly refresh the flooring in your vehicle.</span><span class="s5" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"> You might also want to get some van seat covers to protect your upholstery from food spills, mud and general grime while you’re on your travels.</span></div>
<div class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #365f91; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #365f91; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Add roof bars for extra storage</span></div>
<div class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify;">
<span class="s5" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Even if you make an effort to pack light, you might find you’re short on space in your camper. One of the easiest and best ways to increase your storage is to add a roof rack or roof bars to the top of your van. These accessories are easy to fit and they give you the perfect place to store large pieces of luggage or other cumbersome items - providing you with extra space on board your camper.</span></div>
<div class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="s5" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Comfort is </span><span class="s5" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">key</span><span class="s5" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"> if you’re to get the most from your four-wheeled adventures, and this means being able to control the light and temperature levels in your van. </span><span class="s5" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">If you don’t already have them, now’s the time to invest in some good quality window dressings.</span><span class="s5" style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;"> Blackout curtains can be ideal. Fearing a double layer of fabric for improved thermal insulation and to block out light from outside, they allow you to keep your cabin cosy in winter and cool in summer, and they stop you from being woken up too early in the mornings by the sun. Thermal window screens are another good option.</span></span></div>
<div class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">A lumpy, unsupportive mattress or a duvet that’s seen better days can stop you from getting a good night’s shuteye, so it’s worthwhile getting some decent sleeping gear for your camper. Memory foam mattresses can work well. These sleeping platforms provide impressive support and they can be cut to size to fit perfectly in your van. Make sure you have enough pillows with you too. If you’re worried about them taking up too much room, consider getting compact compressible designs. Meanwhile, when you’re picking out a duvet or sleeping bag, go for one that’s suitable for the season you’re travelling in.</span></div>
<div class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify;">
<span class="s5" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Even if you plan to spend as much time as possible exploring your surroundings, there are bound to be occasions when you just want to chill out in your van. Whether you’re relaxing after sundown or taking shelter from a downpour, it’s good to have some in-camper entertainment to keep you occupied. This could be anything from books and board games to your favourite tech. If you’re taking gadgets such as tablets with you, make sure you pack your charging wires too - and to keep your cabin nice and tidy, it’s useful to take a cable organiser.</span></div>
<div class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify;">

<span class="s5" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">Making an effort to improve your camper in these simple but important ways will help ensure you get the most from your upcoming trip.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remember the days, when playing at the local park was the only thing on our minds after school or at the weekend? If not the park then riding your bike or flying a kite in a field, everything we did was outside! These between the lack of green space available and trying to keep our Children safe, they don't spend anywhere near as much time outside as they should.</span></div>

I love making my lists, decorating the house and spend hours and hours getting the tree just perfect.<br /><br />But the thing I love most is that excited feeling of handing over a beautifully wrapped gift. You excitedly hope that person will love it, and then watching their face as they take in what is inside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />I work really hard to try to find the perfect gift for everyone, and I think I usually succeed - or at least I hope!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When Boots approached me and asked if I would like to take part in their 50 days of Xmas campaign, I immediately said yes and got to work browsing the <a href="https://www.boots.com/christmas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christmas gifts</a> section. A</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">s I'm sure most of you do, I buy quite a few gifts from Boots every Christmas so I wasn't surprised to find I quickly had a basket overflowing with possibilities to suit a wide range of people I buy gifts for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After spending a loooong time narrowing down my choices, here is what I chose!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Firstly I was very happy to tick off my Husbands Godmother, she has several health issues so treat food/drinks/smellies are out of the question unfortunately. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She does however seriously love her tea so I was pleasantly surprised to find her lovely gift first!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As this is his all time favourite aftershave, so I try to find different combinations to gift just to keep it a bit more interesting for him - and to stop him guessing what it is as soon as he sees it! I always find the smell lasts longer when combined with a body wash or lotion and of course it looks better in a gift box - not to mention easier to wrap! </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know he will love finding this under the tree. </span><br />
