Make 2010 the year you really do achieve those goals you’ve always promised yourself. These inspiring ideas from The Handpicked Collection can help your New Year’s Resolution get started on a positive note.
Have you sworn to get yourself a new look for years but don’t really have any idea what colours or styles really suit you? Do you go for your usual safety items? Well, don’t revert back to your old ways and instead book a Style & Colour Consultation (£375 for both) and get professional help from the image experts on which colours enhance your skin tone, eyes and hair, what styles suit your body shape and how to wear your new clothes. Surely this will be the confidence boost of 2010?
We all want to lose that post festive winter layer so why not invest in a Pedometer and Calorie Counter (£15.95). We are told we need to do about 10,000 steps a day to maintain a healthy lifestyle but exactly how far is that? The walk to the train station? A morning’s shopping? This great device will help you find out for sure how far you need to go to stay fit and healthy in 2010.
‘I won’t spend so much money’ is so often a New Year’s Resolution, so embrace the credit crunch for 2010 and learn how to make foolproof raspberry jam or chic and pretty birthday cards? Just think how much money you could save if you never had to buy a card again? Homemade: Gorgeous Things to Make with Love (£19.95) will eek out the domestic goddess in anyone.
Or how about your vow to read more than just the celeb magazines? The Handpicked Collection has an amazing library of books to buy ranging from Churchill’s Wit (£9.95) to Sport: Almost Everything You Ever Wanted to Know (£14.95).
And what’s more, The Book Journal (£9.95) will inspire you to share your views on the books you’ve read, jot down the books you are keen to read and note down what you have borrowed.
Is 2010 the year to discover more about wine? The Wine Discovery (£84.95) is a smelling kit of 40 different wine aromas to help you learn exactly what wine writers mean when they talk about floral undertones and a good nose. The Aromes du Vin Smell & Sip Box (£79.95) helps you learn the differences between each type of vine (or primary aroma) so you can build up your own library of favourite wines to enjoy on New Year’s Eve 2010!
The Handpicked Collection is also great for gift ideas for gifts for her, gifts for him and gifts for kids.
