Gifts For The Woman Who Had Been There From The Making To The Made!

May 8th, 2017

Knock! Knock! It is that time of the year again when there is a dire need of a checklist of special gifts. Well, it is not the Valentine’s week we are talking about; it is the special occasion of mother’s day. Though a single phone call from you can make your mum happy, yet a special gift for her is a mandate on this occasion. Flower bouquets, assorted chocolates, perfumes or novels from her all time favorite author- send over her simple favorites with online services of gift hampers UK. Here listing down a few out of the box gift ideas and new wraps for them.

Here’s something beautiful for your beautiful mum

Mothers are on duty for 24×7 throughout the year without any day-offs- yes they take day offs from work, only to engross more into the needs of her loved ones. This mother’s day plan something different to make her feel special. An enroute to salon for a day can be one option. Massages, fish spa, hair spa or even a body spa can be as refreshing as ever for her- get a spa voucher for her on this occasion. In case you have a greater budget then you may plan for a holiday package for a couple of days as well- including friends for the trip can be the perfect icing on the cake.

Wrap it up in differently

Perfumes, chocolates, make-up items- put all of it a glass jar- just the like the one you can spot at the stationery shops filled with candies. A ribbon or two can do the rest of packaging, and your gift is all set. Wrapping the little tit-bits of your mum’s favorite cosmetics in a pair of fur slippers is a new idea altogether.

With the overburdening workload we are left we often miss out on a lot of chat sessions with our mums. So this mother’s day take out a little more time from your busy schedule and make it up to your mum. Put down all you have to say to your mum into short messages scribbled on colorful ‘sticky notes’ and attach each to a little gift-box. An array of colorful ribbon tied boxes, wherein you can mix n match several gift items, is definitely worth a try. In case summing up your messages in short phrases seem to be little more towards the poetic end, you can straight off write a letter to your mum and cork it up like ‘a message in a bottle’, and send it over along with her gift. For those staying far away, you can avail the services of the online stores of gift hampers UK.

They say that diamonds are a woman’s best friends- but for our super mums these precious stones are too main-stream. If your budget approves, then go for a smart gadget instead of expensive jewelry. Let her not wait for someone else to get her a cab, or to bring her food from her favorite restaurant.  A smart phone or a tablet is just a small initiative to equip the lady, with all the modern techniques of being self-dependent, who has once led you on the path of self-sufficiency and enlightenment.

Be it your birthday, be it your success, be it your wedding anniversary or just a surprise bash for your loved ones to convey that they are special- desserts steal the show at every occasion. People go for two or three tier cakes most often while deciding on the desserts, but there’s a list of other sweet-tooth servings that are chosen upon by many to surprise their guests. Here’s listing down a few of these.

Berry Parfaits

Cut out the stereotypes at your bash and let it be a more delightful affair for your guests. Arranging for a live counter of desserts is all abuzz of late. A number of flavouredfrozen custards set up at the counter; along with a good number of berry choices can be a tasty creamy affair for your guests. You can also choose flavoured yoghurt as the base. These are best served in crystal clear glass goblets. Also,you can add a little more syrup and colourful sugary titbits to sprinkle upon.

Cake push pops

You can get it from the expensive confectioners or from any popular bakery- the only constraint here is that it has to be served fresh and hot.

Death By Chocolate – Not So Much!!!

May 8th, 2017

Referring to Chocolate as the epitome of comfort food would not be an overstatement. It is one of the most common gifting items and a great hack in times of stress and a 100% mood enhancer, but did you know about its health benefits. Studies have proven that chocolate, especially dark chocolate having cocoa percentage of more than 70% is in fact, a great health supplement. Some studies have shown it be favorable in cases like diabetes, obesity and autism as well.

Doctors would still advise on monitoring your chocolate intake as it is very high in fat and benefits of highly processed and sweetened chocolates are close to nothing. As this is an easily available commodity, we can receive and send chocolates online as well, one should be very careful about the products. Dark chocolate is the safest option in this case; its nutrients would conclusively benefit your health.

Here are few of the potential health benefits of consuming Dark chocolate: 

  1. Abundance source of Antioxidants:

Raw cocoa beans, the main ingredient for dark chocolate, have been tested highly positive for ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). ORAC is a measure for the antioxidant properties in a food. Dark chocolate has many organic compounds like catechins, flavanols and polyphenols which operate as antioxidants. Their activity levels have been claimed to be even more than some of the fruits like blueberries.

  1. Dark chocolate can potentially prevent cancer:

As hard as it is to believe, dark chocolate can help fight and cease cancerous substances in your body. What better way to treat yourself, right??

  1. It is Heart- friendly:

Dark chocolate is rich in Flavanols which are very beneficial for the heart’s health. It improves blood flow to the heart and brain and lowers the blood pressure. It makes us less vulnerable to stroke and blood clots by making platelets less sticky and be able to clot.

  1. It is a brain food:

Dark chocolate is becoming to be known as one of the best brain foods of all times. It improves memory and boosts focus. Researches have shown that consumption of flavanol-rich cocoa increases blood flow to cerebral gray matter in human mind. It enhances cognitive abilities, especially in elderly.

  1. Source of Theobromine

Theobromine, which has been proven to harden tooth enamel, is present in rich quantity in Dark chocolate. Meaning consumption of same, unlike many other confectioneries, should not be harmful for your teeth and not result in cavities provided one follows appropriate dental hygiene. Theobromine, though not as strong as caffeine, is a great stimulant.

  1. Source of Vitamins and Minerals

Dark chocolate is also rich in vitamins and minerals supporting your well-being. Following are some of the vitamins & minerals which are present in dark chocolate in abundance:

  • Iron
  • Magnesium
  • Copper
  • Potassium

Potassium & copper aid in prevention of cardiovascular conditions and seizure. Iron obviously helps in tackling anemia, and the magnesium helps with many ailments related to heart, Blood pressure and even type 2 diabetes.

So don’t beat yourself up the next time you find yourself deriving guilty pleasure off a dark chocolate treat. It’s perfectly fine as a nice evening treat; you can even send chocolates by post or gift them as long as it’s consumed in moderation.
