It’s now against the law for any supporters to go on the football pitch, boring I know but what if you were able to grow the exact same pitch at home? Prezzybox.com has now made this a reality with the release of Grow Your Own Football Pitch.

The Grow Your Own Football Pitch allows the user to grow a football pitch at home with the same seeds used at your favourite Premiership Football Club.
The tin encloses all you need to grow your own piece of grass; turf, topsoil and the all important grass seed mixture used on your favourite team's pitch. The user also receives a certificate of authenticity, wall poster, pitch layout and a history of the pitch. To top it off it comes with a stadium backdrop and mini pitch 
layout complete with goal and corner flags!Arsenal and Manchester Utd are currently available with Everton and Wembley later this month. The majority of Premiership clubs will be available within 6 months with 2 clubs launching each month. Coming soon – Liverpool FC, Sunderland FC, West Ham United FC and Newcastle United FC.

GIFTS It's a Gift 11217 views
If you are wondering what to do about a wedding list, Shropshire gift list service, The Silver Pear, might be the one for you. While setting up your gift list, you are invited to stay over in their converted 13th century apartment in the historic centre of Ludlow.
A break away from it all is what Janet Tuffley, owner of Silver Pear, says couples sometimes need. 'Wedding lists are often fraught with complications: grooms may not want to be involved but often the bride insists! It can be difficult to choose a list for a house you don’t already live in; and nowadays, people are getting married later in life so they have already accumulated a lot of the basic household essentials. We have set up this personal service to help couples select a list that meets their needs- be it unusual feature pieces, or things they wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves – all
from the tranquillity of The Silver Pear flat.'You can take your h2b, mum, best friend - or all three - and enjoy staying in Ludlow for 48 hours while Silver Pear helps you choose your gifts and set up an online list for guests who can't visit the shop. Established in Ludlow since 1999, the Silver Pear has hundreds of top brands to choose from including Alessi, Arthur Price, Denby, Guzinni, LSA, Royal Worcester and Typhoon. Just make sure you are serious though as £200 is taken as a deposit,
refunded on receipt of orders to the value of £1000 on your wish list. To find out more call Janet on 01584 879096 or have a look at some of the products at silverpear.co.uk
