 Happy Friday everyone and I hope you are all having an enjoyable day.  Thought you might like to see my new sign writing on my car!  I have to say I love the ladybird even though it is massive!  Hopefully this will mean as I am tootling along from place to place lots of new people will see me and go look at my website.  Here's hoping. Anyway,  enough of that and onto my featured product for today which is a great one for the kids - it is our DIY Paint Nest Box 
http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/birds/diy_paint_nest_box.html
As you can see from the picture you get the nest box, paintbrush and three paints in yellow, red and blue.  So if you mix yellow and blue you also get green and if you mix red and yellow you also get orange so that is a potential of 5 colours!
The birdhouse measures 15 x 12 x 20 cm and is priced at £9.99.  You will find it on our Best For Birds page.  The birdhouse is suitable for Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Crested Tits and Willow Tits and once decorated it is best placed in a sheltered spot, not in full sunlight or facing the prevailing weather.  The entrance must have a clear flight path for the birds.  So why not give it a go now.  Get your nest box all spruced up ready for the birds this winter and make this little fella happy with a new home!

 Middle of the week time folks and welcome to your sneaky peek at one of our NEW PRODUCTS - and here it is our Lavender Bath Salt Set http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/inside/lavender_bath_salts.html

 The kit contains everything you need to make a soothing, stress relieving lavender bath. You will get a glass jar, a 500g bag of bath salts, a 9g box of dried lavender and a wooden spoon as well as a packet of seeds to grow your own lavender and a book with tips on how to enjoy your lavender bath.  The set comes gift boxed and can be found on our Inside Gifts page.  It is priced at just £10.99 and would make an ideal present for family and friends.  Think ahead to Christmas, wouldn't this be a lovely gift?  You could either give it as it is or make it up into the bath salts and give that as a present.  

Lavender is great for all sorts of reasons, it relaxes spasms, stimulates circulation and has antiseptic properties.  It can be used to treat muscular pains, sunburn and rheumatism which is why it makes a fantastic bath time experience.  So go on give it a try either for yourself or a loved one, it really does make an excellent gift.

Hello again and welcome to our "Product of the Week".  This week I have chosen one of our fabulous Inside Gifts but to be honest they can go outside too!  Meet Sykes - he is one of our doggy ornaments made from ceramistone which means he can go inside or outside your home.  Obviously I would advise not to leave him outside during the really
bad weather but certainly through the summer months he could stay outside.  And then in the winter he would look great sitting by your hearth or anywhere in your home. So, Sykes is an English Bull Terrier ornament which measures 18cm in height and costs £38.00. You will find him on our Inside Gifts page.

Also on this page we have Dale who is a cute little kitten ornament. Again made from ceramistone he can go inside or outside your home.  Personally I would probably want to keep this little fella inside as he is just sooooo cute!   He measures 11cm in height and costs just £35.00. http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/inside/dale.html
He would make a brilliant gift for all you cat lovers out there.  So why not take a look at our Inside Gifts page and meet some of our great characters such as Roland the Rooster, Mac the Westie, Baa'bara the Sheep and Tyson the Staffie.  I am sure there will be at least one that will capture your heart.
