GIFTS Satin Love 11617 views
Satin sheets sound a bit 70s boudoir, but research shows that sleeping on silk or satin helps keep sleep wrinkles at bay. So we have shopped for satin and come up with some cool gift ideas for your wish list.
Leading U.S. dermatologist, Dr. Dennis Gross, M.D. recommends changing from cotton to satin woven pillowcases. “Persistently pressing our faces into a pillowcase causes trauma to the skin. Over time, this trauma, aggravated by the friction of a cotton pillowcase, can create permanent creases as our collagen breaks down.” Tiffany Baxter took this on board when she set up a company specialising in silk satin pillowcases. Available from satinskin.co.uk, the pillowcases 
are £29.95 each and come in natural white. 
One-stop shop for silk bedding, Gingerlily (0870 1161368 gingerlily.co.uk), has sheets in 100% mulberry silk with pillow cases from £45 and double flat sheets from £115. As total silk-aholics, they also sell silk-filled duvets (from £143 for a double) - said to be the ultimate sleeping experience as they are warm in winter and cool in summer.WP Top Tip: silk is 100% hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites so is great for sensitive skin and allergy sufferers.

GIFTS Love Message 13209 views
Guests love giving - especially if it is a gift with a personal message that they know you will remember them by and cherish forever. So this week we have travelled to a Victorian pottery in Stoke-on-Trent to find some gift ideas with a personal messge.
Based in Stoke-on-Trent, Emma Bridgwater pottery is all made by hand in her Staffordshire factory, using earthenware, a variant on Josiah Wedgwood's 18th century recipe for creamware. 
Finished with hand-sponged patterns or hand-applied litho designs, before the final glaze you can have your Emma Bridgewater cup, teapot or other cute vessel personalised with a message. Best of all you can direct your keenest guests to emmabridgewater.co.uk where they simply need to choose a pattern, such as polka dots or hearts, and then pick a shape, whether it's a bowl, mug or plate. Adding £1 per letter to the price of the gift, tap your message into the box and check out! Allow a few weeks for delivery - personalisation is a bit of long process - and wait to see the happy grin!

Until August, your guests might like to take Mr Dyas up on his offer of any 4 for the price of 3.
BRILLIANT BARBIES
Weber's (wowbbq.co.uk) One Touch Gold charcoal barbecue (£139.99) is a backyard must-have. New features include a hinged cooking grate and a huge catcher for the ash which can be easily removed and emptied. Its iconic porcelain-enameled bowl and lid comes in no-nonsense black with glass-reinforced handles.
SITTING PRETTY
If you really want to indulge in outdoor living some fold-up chairs that can be stowed away at the end of summer are ideal. We love the classic director-style chaire from Habitat (habitat.net), called Africa. The basic solid oak frame is £29 with a choice of slings (£6) including this sunny saffron yellow.
