Each week, I'm going to be bringing you a gift guide showing some of the wonderful gifts available this year for all your relatives!
I am going to be trying and testing each and every thing I recommend, and only the items that I feel are worthy will be featured.
This Week I am featuring my pick of the Top Gift Ideas for Mums & Dads!
For Dads
Braun Series 3 Shaver
Christmas Countdown: Perfect Gifts For Mums & Dads!
My Dad is very old-school - he still uses a non-electric razor and one of this weird soap-stick things, I don't even know where you'd buy them from in this day and age!But assuming that YOUR father is more willing to step into the modern age than mine - I think an electric shaver is the perfect gift for any man!
Jon tried one of these out and he hasn't looked back since, he is a big fan!
The Series 3 Shaver has lots of cool features including a 3 stage cutting system which shaves progressively closer for smooth, comfortable shave in one stroke - they can also be used wet or dry, with foam or gel - and are even shafe for use in-shower!
Available from Boots, Argos and all good retailers from £149.99

    Bronnley has been a Royal Warrant holder since 1943 - so of course I was intrigued to try some of their delights for myself!
    I tried out the Honey Blossom Body Wash (rrp £10.50) and the Lavender dusting powder (£8.95) and was so impressed by both!
    The packaging is timeless and elegant, and immediately lets you know that you're in the presence of quality - and the scents are just beautiful.
    Delicate but there is no mistaking what product you are using - the honey blossom really does smell like pure honey!
