Spring is here hooray!!

With the Spring weather just about here I decided it was the time to tackle my allotment which has had no TLC over the winter. So off I went with my wheel barrow and flask and once at the Allotment I soon realised I wasn’t going to be doing any work as I had left my tools out over the winter and they hadn’t faired too well!

So I now need to restock on a few items. Luckily we have lots of garden company’s we work with here at Home and Garden Gifts and we have just added a new garden supplier Fleximas, so I had a wide choose of products and companies to choose from.

I have made myself a shopping list of what I needed. I have to say not all these garden tools needed replacing some are new additions to help keep my plot in check.

Wood and Steel Rake	Wood and Steel Fork	Wood and Steel Hoe	Wood and Steel Spade	Fork & Trowel Set

• Spade The Eagle Digging Spade is a super cool garden spade and will make light work of the digging.
• Fork Matching fork from the Eagle Digging Range
• Hand Trowel and Hand Fork
• Hoe Takes the pain out of bending over to shift those annoying little weeds that spring up
• Rake

Once I started my shopping spree I decided there were a few more items I could do with including, Natural Log Roll Edging to go around my herb patch, Compost Bin for all the weeds, Cold Frame for bringing on small tender plants and a Rain catcher as my plot is along way away from the water tank!

If you like me are looking for good quality value for money garden tools make sure you check out our garden tool section

How are you going to spend Halloween night? Traditionally it is a night for trick and treating, bonfires, apple bobbing, costume parties, lanterns and scary stories. What ever you get up too we hope you have a great time!

As Halloween is just around the corner and you may be looking for some Halloween gifts and treats for this special occasion have a look at the ideas we have at Home and Garden Gifts.

For the collectors with have two fantastic film cells from the horror film Halloween. The single limited edition film cell and double film cell  are presented in mounted black frames on black mounts. It has an individually numbered plaque and certificate of authenticity. Free delivery is available on both these products.

Children and adults will love these Halloween lanterns, but you will need to be quick though as we have a limited amount in stock.

Admire your Halloween costume in these scary halloween mirrors. Follow this link to our bat design and this one for our ghost mirror. Both products have free delivery.

I was interested to read recently that Unmarried women were told that if they sat in a darkened room and gazed into a mirror on Halloween night, the face of their future husband would appear in the mirror. However, if they were destined to die before marriage, a skull would appear. The custom was widespread enough to be commemorated on greeting cards from the late 19th century and early 20th century. wikipedia.

Have a spooky Halloween night!
