[Ad-gifted] It finally feels like summer has arrived after weeks of nothing but rain, hope you are making the best of our British summer by enjoying your garden and outdoor activities as much as we are!
We will start our summer guide by showcasing six fabulous items, starting with ThinK’s Organic Vegan Prosecco & Sparkling Rosé which allows you to have a great time drinking but minus the calories and carb this summer. Established in 2020, ThinK Wines are crafted in Italy from premium Treviso grapes and boast a meticulously curated blend of flavours which are low in sugar and contain zero carbs.
Next, we showcase Summer Folk Collection Gift Box by St. Eval Candle Company, a British brand which makes beautiful cruelty-free candles inspired by nature and made sustainably in Cornwall using natural plant extracts.
Like soft furnishing, I find using summer themed tableware makes our days a lot brighter, even if it is raining outside. These DOWAN Deep Cereal/Soup bowls are a great addition to your partyware and perfect for serving ramen noodles, light bites or snacks in the garden.
Planning to head out on a holiday but still want to look good? Don’t forget to bring along Revamp’s Progloss Liberate Cordless Ceramic Hair Straightener which is portable, lightweight and fits nicely into your travel bag on your next staycation or holiday abroad. Finally, we cannot recommend the Quntis Solar Outdoor Garden Lights enough as these are perfect for the late summer nights in the garden.
ThinK Organic Vegan Prosecco & Sparkling Rosé
If you are looking to enjoy a great time drinking but minus the calories and carb this summer, then ThinK Wines is for you. Established in 2020, their wines are crafted in Italy from premium Treviso grapes and boast a meticulously curated blend of flavours which are low in sugar and contain zero carbs.
Both the ThinK Prosecco and ThinK Sparkling Rosé are a great tipple to enjoy this summer. ThinK Prosecco has 50% less sugar than what you would find in the market. Hence you can enjoy the bubbly without worrying about your sugar intake. The dry sparkling white wine is straw yellow in colour and has flavours of orchard fruits such as green apples, pear, along with white peach and galia melon. A delicious complement to fried fish, tempura vegetables and tofu and fine meat.
Next, the ThinK Pink is a fresh tasting Pinot Grigio Sparkling Rosé made from the finest Pinot Grigio grapes. Light pink in colour, it has delicate hints of strawberry, gooseberries and pink grapefruit. The palate is fresh and delicate with a soft mousse and this pairs nicely with fish, vegetable and tofu dishes.
You can purchase a bottle of the ThinK prosecco and Sparkling Rosé for just £50 from their website here.

Heading for a holiday in your caravan/motorhome or abroad does not mean that you can’t have fabulous hair! Revamp’s Progloss Liberate Cordless Ceramic Hair Straightener (ST-1700) is not only portable but is rechargeable as well. The hair straightener delivers up to 30 minutes of consistent styling powered by the latest lithium-ion technology.

You don’t have to worry about that, as the compact design of the straightener means it can slip into your handbag or luggage bag with ease. The straightener comes with an ‘on the go’ travel lock for safety as well as a heat-resistant pouch so you can carry it with you and style your hair during your travels for the immaculate look.

The Intelligent battery life system indicates the level of charge hence you know when to get it recharged again.
Another great thing about the straightener is that, its ceramic plates are infused with super smooth oils such as Keratin, Argan and Coconut oils for ultimate smoothness and frizz-free hair or even curls.
Revamp’s portable travel ceramic hair straightener costs £99 but is well worth the money and you can get one for yourself before your next holiday here. This also makes a great birthday gift for teens, partners or someone special in your life.

Loving all of these selections. I am intrigued by the cordless straighteners as I use a higher heat as my hair is thick and has waves in it. I do like the fact it has different heat settings and hair types.
Easy to pack and take with you on travels and cordless, so super convenient
This is such a lovely gift guide. I really love the bowls that you featured. They are super cute and I really like the design and colours on them. I could do with a few more bowls.
