Posted by Cara Verdi at 16:52 on 19 Nov 2007 I’m no gardener myself but from the little I do know and what I have read, now appears to be the best time to plant some lovely bulbs for spring next year. An easy option to adding colour to a sweeping lawn or your little patch out back, bulbs are easy to plant and require little maintain through out the year. So if you fancy trying your hand at some green fingered activity, why not visit Crocus.co.uk where currently it is offering up to 50% off a wide rang of colourful bulbs.
Posted by Alison Cork at 10:02 on 14 Nov 2007 With the dark winter nights upon us, it’s worth ensuring that your home and garden are safe from unwanted intruders.
Posted by Alison Cork at 13:14 on 30 Oct 2007 It takes a bit of searching to find the best bargains sometimes, but time invested is money saved when you stumble across discounts like this. Whilst other companies are taking advantage of the high demand for outdoor furniture around this time of year, Crocus is offering a massive 50 per cent off while stocks last. And this is quality furniture that we’re talking about. This four seater Worcester set is made from premium TFT approved yellow balau hardwood, folds up easily for storage and arrives fully assembled. It was £699.99 but is now only £349.99 – now that’s a bargain.
Posted by Cara Verdi at 15:35 on 29 Oct 2007 This Saturday just gone saw the Telegraph release the second Bargain Britain supplement. Produced in association with our very own favourite bargain hunter and ProblemSolved founder, Alison Cork, it was absolutely jammed packed with offers and discounts letting readers in on how to get the best that money can buy for the home and garden, for not much money at all. And as promised, if you missed this 16 page gem of information and deals, don’t worry. On the Telegraph website you can now peruse at your leisure the same amazing deals and offers which featured in the supplement.
Posted by Cara Verdi at 15:43 on 15 Oct 2007 If bargain hunting is your thing and you fancy getting your hands on some stylish quality homeware at rock bottom prices, make sure on the 27 October a copy of the Saturday Telegraph is sitting on your coffee table. Why i hear you say?
Posted by Cara Verdi at 15:15 on 15 Oct 2007 I dislike myself for even mentioning it before the first of December, but if you are super organised and already thinking of the big C with ideas on what to get people, why not try out Kelkoo.co.uk, a shopping comparison site where you can compare the price of absolutely anything. Homeware and clothing to gadgets and electronics and much more in between, the website’s a useful starting point for figuring out what is a good price for those pre thought of goods.
Posted by Cara Verdi at 16:13 on 20 Aug 2007 I have a small passion for good lighting and something which I feel you cannot beat is the light created by a natural flame. It is easy then to imagine my delight in finding these small but perfectly formed tea light holders from Crocus. The Bauble tea light holder (£5.95 for one, £15.00 for three) is a flawlessly formed 8 cm diameter sphere of glass, hung inside or out it is guaranteed to create an atmosphere of calm.
Posted by Cara Verdi at 16:43 on 13 Aug 2007 Summer this year has been abysmal in my opinion so I’m glad to say that the Robert Dyas Summer clearance sale hasn’t followed suit. Prices have been cut across the shop from garden furniture and electrical appliances to DIY tools and gas barbeques (there’s always hope for next year!). A useful little bargain which caught my attention was the LED Dynamo Torch, reduced to a mere £4.99 in the sale. No need for batteries, this torch has a wind up mechanism where 1 minute of vigorous action will give you 30 minutes of power, great for any home and all outdoor lifestyles.
Posted by Alison Cork at 10:26 on 25 Jul 2007 Premium grade teak garden furniture doesn’t have to set you back a fortune – particularly when you’re privy to Kings Hall Furniture.com. It offers a wide range of premium teak garden furniture, sold direct to the public at up to 30 per cent less than equivalent high street prices. Vastly superior to other hard woods, teak is hard-wearing and durable, standing up well to all sorts of weather conditions.
Posted by Alison Cork at 08:10 on 28 Jun 2007 The long-awaited Daily Telegraph/House & Garden Fair (27th – 30th June) starts today at the Olympia Exhibition Centre (tube: Kensington Olympia) offering a showcase of the UK’s finest contemporary interior and garden designs. There’s masses to see but it’s well worth keeping an eye out for Amy Kent and her bespoke hand-knotted rugs.
