Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day is almost upon us and for me personally I always struggle with gift shopping for boys. My dad never wants to give me ideas or a list and if he does he tends to buy the presents for himself before the day leaving me empty handed. This year he has been very kind and helped me create this Father’s Day gift ideas blog post. He has listed all his gift wishes that will hopefully help inspire you for your Father’s Day shopping with presents ranging from the affordable to the less affordable.

Ted Baker Shirt
My dad adores this brand and actually wore a lovely TB suit to my wedding (as seen in the featured image of this blog post). John Lewis actually have plenty of Ted Baker shirts on sale right now. All of TB’s suits and shirts have beautiful little touches of contrast patterned fabrics hidden under the collars or in the lining for example.

iOS Flash Drive
I have to admit I had no idea what this was but now I have researched it I think I want one too!! The colour options range from super girly pink to the more masculine black. You plug this little device directly into your phone and back up your camera roll immediately and transfer large files super quickly. I need one now as my phone is always full.

Wired Magazine
A subscription to Wired Magazine is the perfect affordable gift for a techy guy and it keeps on giving each and every month…perfect! This link that I have found is super cheap at only £14 for six months.

Chelsea FC Hospitality Box
A more pricey gift idea is a posh ticket to your dads favourite sports team. Dad has often been invited to corporate games at his favourite football teams games but would love to have a hospitality box ticket whenever he liked. I am sure the experience is wonderful for a football lover but goodness me I can think of better things to spend my money on haha.

Tickets for the Monza GP
With tickets ranging from £200 to well over £1000 per person and that doesn’t include the cost of travelling and staying in Italy it may be a little out of most people’s price range. This being said, if you and your dad both love the Grand Prix then maybe make a lovely father – daughter/son trip out of it.

Penhaligon’s Blenheim Bouquet EDP
My dad’s favourite cologne is this Penhaligon’s EDP. The scent is lovely and the packaging is even better. Maybe treat yourself to something whilst you shop.

Daddy also added to the bottom of his list:

Confirmed contract extension by Hazard…
After a bit of Googling for what I thought was a phone contract, I eventually realised this was some sort of football reference that I could not actually buy!

No more daughters as I have the best in the world…
Probably the sweetest thing daddy has ever said hehe.

Have you got any more Father’s Day Gift Ideas that I may have missed or that my dad doesn’t realise that he actually wants/needs?

Santa Maria Pizzeria Chelsea Launch

I have been a long time lover of Santa Maria Pizzeria since they opened in Ealing in 2010. It is a fair trek for me to get there but it is well worth it for the amazing pizza. I have been taking family and friends there regularly since it opened and even blogged about it being the best pizzeria in London. The lovely owners Pasquale and Angelo invited my husband Liam and I down for the opening of their new larger venue in Chelsea. Just a few minutes walk from Fulham Broadway and you will be munching on the best pizza you have ever eaten within minutes. Take along all your friends and family and sit at the long family table.
The new venue is much bigger than Ealing and you can now book tables to guarantee you get seated. The urban interior bridges the gap between industrial Imperial Wharf and Cosmopolitan Chelsea in the most perfect way. We had such a lovely time and the pizzas were made to absolute perfection. After chatting to Pasquale and Angelo they mentioned that their pizza dough recipe is literally a science experiment based on the weather. They have to continually alter the recipe depending on how hot it is outside.

{Wonderful list of affordable Italian cocktails}

{Santa Maria – Chelsea}

Dine like an Italian:
Aperitif: Order an Aperol Spritz and olives to start.
Main: Santa Buffalina pizza and a Peroni.

Tanya’s Cafe {Review}

After a long day of filming my husband came and met me for dinner in London.
He took me to Tanya’s Cafe.
I have been vegetarian since I was nine and always had an incling to try out being plant based but never thought it would be possible.
When I found out about Tanya’s Cafe I immediately put it on my list of places to go.
We have Tanya’s cook book and regularly follow the recipes.

We arrived at 7pm and it was fairly quiet, about 50% full.
The atmosphere was lovely and chilled.
The restaurant is set within My Hotel, nestled somewhere between the Kings Road and Fulham Road.
By the time we left at 9pm the restaurant was full and buzzing.
We could have stayed there all night drinking cocktails and nibbling on kale crisps.

While we decided what we were going to have for dinner we ordered a cocktail each.
They were the healthiest and freshest cocktails I have ever had. They were really delicious.

What we drank: Passionate Crush, Mango Mexicana, Sweet Burn and Top Gun.



We couldn’t decided what to order so we shared an array of random dishes.

What we ate: Pad Thai , falafels, kale crisps, carrot sticks with red pepper hummus and an aubergine dish.

The pudding (pictured above) was my favourite dish of the night. The cake was a chocolate and date puree slice. I would go back just for that slice alone. Tanya…please put the recipe for this in your next book.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. Everything is raw and vegan.
My husband thought he was going to be hungry after our meal but he was completely full.
