[Ad-gifted] We share our latest Summer Accessories for July.
How is everyone doing? Personally, it feels like it has been the warmest and nicest Spring and Summer in a long time! The weather has been kind and sitting in the garden with a cocktail and a book feels like I am actually abroad.
Nevertheless, I know a lot of people have already booked their caravan holidays locally or flight abroad this summer so here are some fabulous gift ideas to get for yourself or a family member to help make your travel smoother.
We start by sharing this lovely Travel Collection from Rex London consisting of a wash bag, makeup bag, A5 notebook as well as a square pocket mirror which will make the perfect companion to take with you on your travels. Next, we showcase the 1L b.box Insulated Flip Top Drink & Water Bottle to help you stay hydrated this summer when you go camping or on days out.
Everyone wants to look their best for the holidays hence most tend to get their hair done, as well as trip to the nail spa to book in a manicure and pedicure session. I find it is equally important to have healthy nails and beautiful moisturised feet at the same time and Dr Anders Foot & Nail Bundle will help you achieve just that. Finally, if have younger children or teenagers and wondering where to head to this summer (or the rest of the year), Lonely Planet’s Where to Go When with Kids Book will inspire you to travel the world at the right time with your children.
Travel Collection from Rex London
Are you getting ready for your summer break and looking for a few cheerful items to take with you on your holiday getaway? Rex London has come up with a lovely Pink and Green Daisy Travel Range Collection which consists of a wash bag, makeup bag, A5 notebook as well as a square pocket mirror.
So let’s start with the Pink and Green Daisy Wash Bag. Priced at £14.95, the charming light-weight green and pink themed bag is your perfect companion to help you organise your essentials such as toiletries, cosmetics and travel accessories. The Daisy Makeup Bag on the other hand is priced at £9.95 and much smaller, hence easier to slide it into your handbag on quick days out, take to the pool or night out. Both bags are made from strong, waterproof oilcloth and look stylish carried as a clutch bag.
The third item is a Daisy themed A5 Notebook (£3.95) to jot down ideas, poems or even notes on where to visit during your holiday. The lined paged book is thin enough to slide into your backpack or handbag to ensure that you are on schedule. Lastly the Daisy themed Square Pocked Mirror is a must have item to ensure that you are looking your best when you are always on the go. The £4.95 mirror is made of sturdy plastic and features two mirrors, one that’s true to size and one that’s magnified. This cheerful Daisy collection travel set makes a fabulous gift idea for someone or yourself if you are scheduled to head out on a holiday.
b.box Insulated Flip Top Drink & Water Bottle
Heading out on a camping or caravan holiday? Then you definitely need an Insulated Flip Top Drink & Water Bottle from b.box to take along with you on your trip to help keep you hydrated. The bottle is not only stylish but is available in 14 bold colour options and various sizes ranging from 680ml to 1005ml. I would recommend getting a few water bottles with different colours so you have one in the caravan, one to take with you when you head to the gym and one more as a spare. The durable handle makes carrying the bottle easy. These are also sold separately and you can opt to choose a different colour to customise it according to your preference.
The triple layer insulating Stainless Steel bottle is able to keep drinks cold for up to 46 hours, so perfect for our current warm summer weather. The bottle also has a large opening for easy refills hence you can also add ice cubes to your drink. The flip top straw lid ensures no leaks when closed hence you can carry it in your backpack without worrying about spillage.
We have featured the 1L bottle in Deep Space (Black) Colour and this retails for £32.99 and it is available from Amazon for next day delivery. This also makes a wonderful gift for older kids heading to college or university. The bottle is easy to clean and comes with a removable stainless steel straw.
Dr Anders Foot & Nail Bundle
We all want great looking feet and nails especially if we are headed for a beach holiday or to the pool. So here are some products developed by podiatrist Dr Anders so you can get your feet and hands looking fabulous in time for your holiday.
The bundle we were sent consisted of Dr Anders Intensive Rescue Balm for Feet. This is a rich and nourishing balm which not only repairs dry and cracked heels but leaves your feet moisturises. The balm comes in a 50ml tub and retails at £15 and you just need to rub a little bit on the dry skin. Personally, I have been using the balm for nearly five years and swear by it, often buying it as presents for family and friends as I find it works and makes my dry cracked skin, soft and smooth.
The next item in the bundle was Dr Anders Conditioning Nail Treatment. This is available for £14.75 and comes in a 15ml tube. If you find that your nails are brittle due to menopause, then you will find that this nail treatment will help soften your thick and brittle toenails. Finally, the last item in the bundle was Dr Anders Nourishing Daily Therapy Oil which helps soothe dry or damaged skin. Priced at £12, the oil comes in a 360° spray bottle, so easy to spray on the skin if you are getting this for an older person who is unable to bend. The spray is infused with Coconut & Tamanu Oils, hence rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, to help soothe and soften the skin. It also does not leave greasy residue and recommended to apply just before bedtime. These products can be purchase individually from Amazon and makes a wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one this summer.

Loving all your suggestions for Summer, I have one of the drink bottles and went out with it filled with ice in it. I left it in the car and it was a hot day. When I came back to the car the ice was still in there. I love it
