"Gifts To Make You Smile"

Sunday, 2 March 2014

I thought this picture would cheer us all up this Sunday morning. A hint of things to come - hopefully.  Now that Spring is here, (allegedly), we can start to think about getting back out into our gardens after an extremely wet winter. Hooray I here you cry!!

Now for today's "Product of the Week" I am showing you something I know I have featured previously but as it is the beginning of March and the official start of bird nesting season, it seems relevant to remind you of our great bird houses that we have here at Ruddick Garden Gifts.  These Shaker Bird Houses have proved really popular.  In fact I only have brown, white and blue available now but even so
they really are the des-res of the bird world. Each colour has slightly different features but all would look great in any garden.  You will find them on our Best For Birds page and they are priced at £18.99.  I am sure the birds in your garden would love to call one of these home. If however, you are looking for something a little bit more traditional then what about our beautiful Triangular Nest Box.  This has been made from treated wood and even has a handy little hook on the   front so that you can help the birds out by hanging bags of seeds, nuts or even fat balls on it.  Priced at just £9.99 this along with many other bird boxes can be found on our Best For Birds page.   And finally, just a little reminder that Mothers Day is fast approaching ( 28 days to go in fact ) so over the next few days and weeks I will be showcasing some fantastic gift ideas but don't leave it until the last minute - be prepared by taking a look at www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk

Morning everyone and welcome to another Sunday.  Well this picture really sums up what the weather is like in Carlisle today - I don't think we'll be going far. On that note today's "Products of the Week" are all to do with the weather.  First up we have our Round Wall Thermometer which as you can see has a stylish blue face and metal surround.  The temperature is measured in both fahrenheit and centigrade by means of an arrow. This thermometer comes gift boxed and can be hung on a wall or fence.  You will find it on our What's The Weather page priced at £29.99.
 
 
Our next item is another thermometer but this one is very different to our first.  It is a Metal Filigree Thermometer which has been produced in die cast metal.  It is suitable for wall mounting and can be used indoors or out.  Priced at £19.95
this thermometer also comes gift boxed and measures 9cm x 41cm.   And finally after you have been outside in all this awful weather and you come back into your house you need something to Wipe Your Feet on.  With that in mind how about our beautiful doormats.  This one is my favourite at the moment our Bird Houses doormat which is a fibre topped rubber mat priced at just £8.99.  This doormat is so easy to clean you can either wipe, sweep or rinse it down with a hose.  It looks pretty stylish to I think.





So I hope you have enjoyed looking at our products today, ordering is really simple too just go to our website at www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk

Hi everyone and it's another busy day here at Ruddick Garden Gifts. Little Ella is off to the vets again this morning for another eye operation!  Bless her.  Hopefully it will work this time. 



I hope you all enjoyed the little sneak preview of some of our new products that will be coming to our website very soon.  Well another product we have chosen is WIND SPINNERS.  



These are some of the ones we saw at the Spring Fair.  They are brilliant and very pretty.  They are different to most of the wind spinners you see at the moment as the ones we are going to offer you are made from stainless steel so they will last and will not rust. They are also powder coated to make them even more resilient to our English weather.  Because of these reasons they are a little more expensive than most of the ones on the high street but at least you wont have to keep replacing them.  They are pure quality!!  They are going to range in price from about £25 - £30 but are well worth the money.  Keep watching the website www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk for further info.

Welcome to Sunday everyone!  We here at Ruddick Garden Gifts have had a really busy week as we were at the NEC in Birmingham earlier this week at the Spring Fair having a look at all the lovely new products they had to offer.  Keep watching in the next few weeks we will be adding all our new items to the website.  I am soooooooo excited I hope you will love them!  


So, I here you cry, what will be our "Product of the Week" this week.  Well as it is Valentines Day this week, we have to look at some of our lovely products that are inspired by this.  First up is........... our Set of 3 Silver Birch Love Heart Containers.   You will find these on our Garden Accessories page and they are priced at £24.99.

    
They come in small, medium and large and I think you will agree they look great planted up with spring bedding plants.  Bunches of flowers are lovely for Valentines but why not be a bit more creative and get a set of these containers and plant them up yourself with your loved ones favourite plant.    


Next is my favourite our Silver Birch Rectangular T-Lite Holder.  Find it on our Fire & Light page.  It is priced at just £14.99.
                                                
And finally what about our Love Heart Hook.  This is made from cast iron and has four hooks on it and would look great inside or out.  Priced at £5.99 find it now on our Garden Accessories page.




So, why not be a bit more adventurous this Valentines Day and get something a bit different to the normal flowers and chocolates, something that will last and you will be loved forever for............

 Good Morning Everyone and welcome to Wednesday, so we have made it half way through the week whoooooooooooooooooo!!!

As the weather has gone a little bit colder again and you probably are not thinking about getting in your garden just yet, I thought today I would remind you of some of our great Indoor Gifts.  For instance who could resist Mac our lovable Westie ornament.  Now this can go outside but personally I would want him inside with me! 
 http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/inside/mac.html  He is 22cm in height and costs £44.00.  Alongside him you can see our Westie plaque.  This is a ceramic tile and can either be hung on the wall or left free standing.
http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/inside/westie.html  This measures 30cmx20cm and is priced at £29.99.


Or we have Baa'bara the sheep she stands at 18cm high and is priced at £44.00.
http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/inside/baabara.html

"Spring is in the air, everywhere I look around"  can you here me singing?  Well today has been a slightly better day than we have had of late so I thought for today's Product of the Week I would share with you my lovely Silver Birch Love Heart Containers.

http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/accessories/silver_birch_love_heart_containers.html

They come in a set of three and are made from silver birch wood and lined with plastic.  You simply have to decide what flowers to put in them. Personally I don't think you can beat these beautiful polyanthus for bringing a bit of colour to your garden at this time of year.



So in the set of three you get a large heart 28x28x9cm a medium heart 20x21x7.5cm and a small heart 12x12x6cm.  They are priced at £24.99 per set and can be found on our Garden Accessories page.





As you can see they look great in the garden!


The colours of the flowers look fab against the silver birch wood.


They are ideal for in a porch or conservatory as well.






So go on, treat yourself and banish those winter blues with these beautiful love heart containers.  I think they would make a great and unusual Valentines gift as well, what do you think?
