Valentine’s Gift – the USB Mix Tape
I know, it’s ridiculous. almost £30 for a mix tape. But… there’s a charm to them that just refuses to die. And this is as close as we can get without tracking down a tape player and blank cassettes – and then how much use is that going to be for your loved one when they want to actually listen to it anywhere but their bedroom?

All I want for Christmas… is these Kickers | Christmas Gift Guide
It’s no secret that we LOVE Kickers. Ever since my own teens I have wanted a pair of Kickers of my own. My children have all worn them… which has done nothing to assuage my own yearning, obviously, and has simply proved to me how great they are (they’re fabulous kids shoes – well constructed, roomy, sturdy and robust).
