First, let me humbly apologise for my vast and immeasurable absence for the past few months. Life's been busy. It's been emotional. Enough said.
Anyhow, I'm back and in full prezzie-luvin form and I thought it'd be particularly sweet to celebrate my return to blogdom with a bitter attack on a fellow "Guru". Not what you were expecting? I don't do expected. Read on...
I spent a total of £15.50 this weekend taking the lovely missus to the movies. Dead keen on seeing The Dark Knight, I was in the mood for some good old-fashioned Gotham Cty mayhem. Anyhow, due a mis-timed dinner we missed this and were left with the eyebrow-raising alternative of watching "The Love Guru". Not quite caped crusaders, but an all-star cast and the mild suggestion that this might contain a bit of slap&tickle was enough to convince me to part with the cash. BIG MISTAKE.
Without a shadow of a doubt this is one of worst movies released in the last few years. What astounds me is that some very good actors decided to get involved with it, including Ben Kingsley who I have always had enormous respect for. I have since read a rather entertaining review in the paper that said something like "If Gandhi had seen this film, he may well have renounced the idea of non-violence"!
After an hour or so, even I, usually the most discerning of patrons, exclaimed my sheer boredom to other movie-goers. Expecting not much more than a polite smile I was amazed to find everyone agreed. We all then walked out.
Anyhow, what does all this have to do with gifts?? Nothing. I just needed to get that off my chest. Even Gurus have issues you know.
This week's hottie
Getting back to the fun bit, this week's gift discovery is the
Pamper Me Gift Set from Nougat. Like the rest of their range, this gift set has a wonderful presentation box with beautiful illustration which will definitely add to the excitement factor for the lucky lady.

Packed with a beautifully styled set of bath-time goodies, this will certainly whisk her away for an hour or two.
Upside: she gets a luxurious and well-deserved pampering
Downside: you may have to put up with Celine Dion blasting out of the bathroom for some part of the evening.
