Gifts for Women this Christmas
Oct 30, 2008 gadgets
As I mentioned in a previous post – it’s getting to that time of year when our minds turn towards buying presents for the ones we love (and some we don’t love, but are obliged to!) Us women tend to be pretty fabulous at present buying – I actually get quite exited at the prospect of spending days trawling the high street…this is perhaps, because I tend to reward myself with a gift or two during the process….
My point is that men are the ones that need a helping hand this time of year – there are only so many toiletries one woman needs, or in my case (you might have read my post on the Triumph toothbrush) practical gadgets! Gifts for Women is a new and invaluable site that promotes Christmas ‘must haves’ for Women – a step by step guide, from what’s hot, to tasteful suggestions on what women deem as ‘sexy’ underwear. The site also includes comparison tables, quoting the best prices for technical items like iPods. It’s also worth mentioning that Gifts for Women suggest presents to suit a variety of budgets ranging from the ‘under £100’ page to luxury items.
If I seem a little bias, it’s because I was commissioned to write some content for them, but honestly – I wouldn’t indorse a site I didn’t believe in. Direct your other half, friends and family towards the Gifts for Women website if you think they need a helping hand!

Babyliss Pro 230 Radiance Hair Straighteners
Sep 1, 2008 gadgets
Babyliss Pro 230 Hair Staighteners
I’ve just purchased the new Babyliss Pro 230 Radiance straighteners after coveting my friend’s pair last weekend. A committed GHD user, I never thought I’d use another brand, but the new 230’s are awesome! For those of you who haven’t heard of them, Babyliss have come up trumps and created the Radiance Straighteners as part of their Pro 230 range. They are a gorgeous shade of red and come with a matching pouch and heat protective mat. At first I thought the Babyliss pro 230 hair straighteners looked heavier than my GHD’s, but if they are, you can’t tell when using them. The ceramic – titanium plates glide through my hair easily and the de-tangling fins are very useful as my hair is so thick (these are retractable for finer hair).
I was skeptical about Babyliss’ claim that the new and improved Pro 230’s would keep your hair straight for ‘twice as long’ as other leading brands – but they really do! The ionic steam improves the condition of hair, keeping it fizz free and very glossy. I’ve got thick hair that gets really tangled and wavy underneath - I used my mate’s on Saturday evening and my hair remained straight and free from frizz right up until I washed it on Monday evening. Result!
I ordered mine this morning on Amazon for £79.99 inc p&p
