Christmas habits It’s funny how being frugal becomes a habit and perplexing to others (especially the “young” generation). Christmas is an expensive time and every year in January I snap up Christmas cards, decorations and stocking fillers for sale and hide them away. Then, eleven months later I can’t find them or I forget my canny purchases altogether and end up buying them again! Also, my family laugh every Christmas morning when I admire a beautifully wrapped present, not for how special it looks but how easily I can unwrap it, very carefully, and re-use the paper, folding it neatly and storing it, again, somewhere!

Discover Magazines Ltd Main: 023 8026 6388 www.discovermagazines.co.uk ACCOUNT & DISTRIBUTION Tania Houston Director Direct: 023 8027 6361 tania@discovermagazines.co.uk

I consider myself clever when I buy cards in bulk so I have one for every occasion but I’m still waiting for a ruby wedding anniversary (rare these days!) and I don’t know anyone young enough to be congratulated on passing a driving test. Another false economy.

So this year I am going to be decadent and, like a five year old, rip the colourful paper off my presents. I’m going to resist picking up so called bargains in January unless they are solely for me in the here and now (or when I’ve lost weight … ).

I hope you enjoy the articles in this issue to help you plan your Christmas with Planning for Guests on page 41, baking a Stollen Cake and How to Have a Healthy Christmas on page 24.

HealthSpace Bringing A Unique Service to Bishops Waltham HealthSpace in Bishops Waltham arose following a change in career for its owner, Claire Symes. Having worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 15 years, Claire always had a strong interest in physical and mental wellbeing. As a migraine sufferer who has benefited from holistic therapies, she retrained as an Aromatherapist and Reflexologist but after failing to find suitable premises from which to practice she realised that other practitioners must be in a similar situation.

Hence the HealthSpace concept was born, offering a variety of disciplines together under one roof.

HealthSpace’s design was driven

by Claire’s desire to create an inspirational and highly professional environment for its

Dick Whittington & His Cat Fresh on the heels of last year’s record breaking pantomime Snow White, Ferneham Hall are thrilled to announce this year’s Christmas show will be Dick Whittington and his Cat! EastEnders and Dancing on Ice star Todd Carty is set to appear as the evil King Rat. Todd is no stranger to playing a baddie, as many will remember him as the villainous policeman Gabriel Kent in ITV’s The Bill, whilst some older viewers will remember him as Grange Hill heartthrob Tucker

Jenkins in the early 80s.

Todd is joined by Disney’s Art Attack presenter Lloyd Warbey, who returns to Fareham after playing Herbie the Huntsman in last year’s Snow White. Lloyd had such a great time in Fareham and he can’t wait to be back again, this time playing Idle Jack!

A show for all the family, Dick Whittington tells the rags-to-riches tale of a young man and his loyal cat on their exciting quest to find fame and fortune.

Will our hero defeat the evil King Rat and his gang of vile vermin?

Will Alice Fitzwarren lose her heart to this handsome hunk from Gloucester?? Will Sarah the Cook

suffer yet another soggy bottom???

Will the streets of London really be paved with gold?

Find out in this classic Pantomime full of show-stopping songs, dazzling dance routines, knockabout comedy and bags of audience participation.

This swashbuckling adventure is guaranteed to be another Ferneham Hall hit.

Tickets are now on sale for ‘Dick Whittington and his Cat’.

Please call Ferneham Hall Box Office on 01329 231942 or visit www.fernehamhall.co.uk for further information.

INTERVIEW

James Morrison James Morrison came to fame in 2006 with the hit debut single ‘You Give Me Something’. After a year or two out of the limelight, he’s back with a new single and album. He talked to the Evening Breeze’s Lucy Ambache about fame, fitness and Frozen.

Where have you been? It has been ages!

I kind of just wanted some time away. I felt like I was losing my mind a bit. I’d been on tour and making albums constantly for nearly eight years so I just wanted some time off with my kid. She was getting big and I just thought I’d rather live with screwing my career up and having a few years out than being a rubbish dad.

I thought that was only a mum thing!

No I definitely felt it! I needed the break anyway and I’ve come back with more energy and I want to do it again, rather than just having to do it.

What do you think of the current crop of Brits that are doing so well?

Good. They’re good enough to make me feel nervous.

It’s funny that the sound that you had when you established yourself is really “now”. You are almost ‘before your time’. <laughs> I think when I came out, it was still quite poppy with a little bit of soul in there. It’s just one of those things. I just did what felt right at the time.

How has it changed from those days I guess it’s not so ‘sweet’?

The single Demons is far from sweet!

I was quite distraught over that period of time. I’ve watched the DVD about 50 times – the first time I watched it I loved it. The worst point was when nine of her friends were round our house having a Frozen party! I even went to a Frozen themed birthday party and I asked the girl there whether she was sick of singing the songs – and she said “this is the last day I’m doing this!”. So even the people doing it are sick of it!

What’s in the future then?

Getting ready to do gigs really. I’ve got a bit of rust – although I’m fitter than I’ve ever been. Before, I’d only run if somebody was chasing me! I can run 12 miles now, and box a little bit, and lift slightly heavy weights!

The video’s dark but the message behind the song is I think the opposite. It’s about owning your own demons and not letting them get the better of you. It was quite poignant for me because when I was writing the album, I was close to a point of letting all those things in my head take over - I’m rubbish, I shouldn’t do it, I’m not good enough - they nearly got the better of me. So that song sums up those months of writing.

Have you got into this celebrity macro-biotic diet thing as well?

Your little girl and my little girl both love Frozen!

Hear more celebrity interviews with Lucy Ambache on The Evening Breeze, Sunday to Thursday 7-10pm. Find out more at www.thebreeze.com.

<laughs> She’s over it now, fortunately. I’m so glad 12

You mean there’s light at the end of the tunnel?

No. I could survive on super noodles but I think it makes a difference when you eat well. I’m not mad crazy but I was beginning to look bad for my age!

A Special Place To Lay Loved Ones To Rest It has been an award-winning month for the family-run Portchester Memorial Gardens, picking up four accolades for horticultural excellence at the site in Upper Cornaway Lane.

First were two awards from the prestigious South & South East in Bloom competition – the largest horticultural campaign in the region involving hundreds of communities each year. The Gardens, which are just next door to the Crematorium in Portchester, won a Gold Award

for the standard of their grounds, as well as being judged the Best Business Landscape in the entire region for 2015.

Not long after, it was the turn of the local branch of the competition, Fareham in Bloom, to also recognise the Gardens for quality, giving them a Gold Award and choosing them as the winners of their Business Parks and Commercial Landscapes category.

The judges commented that ‘once again these outstanding gardens are beyond compare’, providing ‘a perfect setting for quiet contemplation’.

Portchester Memorial Gardens opened in 2002 and offer a peaceful location for cremated remains to be buried and marked with a memorial. Families lease plots in their favourite area of the six acre garden - such as the Garden of the Sea with its sculptural anchors and wooden jetty - and choose from a wide range of personalised memorial stones.

The sympathetic team at the familyrun Portchester Memorial Gardens are experienced in helping families to create fitting, lasting tributes, so to discuss your requirements, call 01329 828250.

A place of peace and tranquillity Six acres of beautiful landscaped gardens offering the perfect final resting place for your loved one’s ashes.

Select a plot and personalised memorial in the reflective Garden of Peace or fragrant Hill of Roses, overlooking the garden from Summerhouse View or sheltered in the Garden of the Sea, beside babbling streams or under shady trees.

“The whole process was made easier with your kindness, and both Ken and I are happy in the knowledge that mum is resting in a lovely garden.” BR, Fareham

Upper Cornaway Lane, Portchester, PO16 8NF Location: Please note that we are not part of the Crematorium or their Garden of Remembrance. Follow our green signs.

GARDENING

Growing Fruit Trees

By Pippa Greenwood www.pippagreenwood.com

For the ultimate in gorgeous apples, pears, plums or more, the fruit needs to be freshly picked and sun-warmed - so grow your own and make some good looking additions to your garden, even when space is limited. There’s no need to have a massive plot or an orchard to grow fruit trees…

You can grow fruit trees in surprisingly small spaces, especially if you don’t grow them in a classic tree shape, but train them. Training them into espaliers (several sets of horizontal ‘arms’), cordons (single main stems grown at an angle) or fans (with branches trained into a fan shape) means that you can grow many varieties of apples and pears up against a suitable vertical surface such as a wall, fence or set of sturdy wires.

You could also train fruits like apples to make a neat edging for a bed or border about 45cm above ground level (called ‘stepovers’). A step-over apple grows to a height of about 30cm and is trained to forms two horizontal ‘arms’, which will bear a smallish crop of fruit. Try step-overs around the edge of your vegetable plot or flower bed.

To make a real feature of fruit, use a tree to create a decorative and productive arch. Buy an inexpensive bare root cordon (straight stem) or a ‘whip’ fruit tree of your favourite variety, pair it with another variety that is a suitable pollinator (check with the nursery) and plant one on each side of the arch, training

18

them in as they grow. It will look pretty when in blossom in spring and will bear tasty fruit too.

Provided you get the right rootstock (see below), you can grow fruit trees in large containers. The container needs to be big - a half-barrel at least - and have drainage holes kept clear using a few inches of broken china or ‘crocks’ at its bottom. Good quality loambased compost such as John Innes No.3 will work well, but help to keep it well aerated and free-draining by adding 2550% multi-purpose loam-free compost.

It is essential to choose fruit trees on the right ‘rootstock’, as this determines the ultimate size and vigour of the tree. Apples are complicated, but as a rule, for step-overs, cordons, dwarf bushes and trees in containers try the extremely dwarfing M27 though weak varieties may fail in poor soil or if not well pampered.

For bush, cordon, espaliers and half-standard try the dwarfing rootstock M26, while for a cordon, an espalier on poor soil, arches and bush trees try the semi-dwarfing MM106.

You can buy one year old ‘maidens’ or ‘whips’ which are

small, fairly straight stems and train them yourself or you can buy trained or part-trained trees.

Make sure you choose varieties that flower at the same time so that they pollinate each other and thus provide fruit. Ask your supplier which ‘pollination group’ each variety is in.

At this time of year you can buy inexpensive fruit trees sold ‘bare-root’, which means lifted from a field and not container grown; they also establish well. Bare-root fruit trees are generally available from about November until early March so don’t delay, get ordering or planting today!

Perfect as a Christmas gift, make vegetable growing fun with Pippa’s unique ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ system. Select the vegetables you’d like to grow at www.pippagreenwood.com and your garden-ready plants will be delivered in May, accompanied by weekly emails packed full of advice and tips. Gift cards are available too for this perfect present! It is great value and various pack sizes are available.

BAKING

Stollen

Makes 10-12 slices Ready in about 3 hours 50g butter 175ml milk 3 tbsp caster sugar 375g strong plain white flour, plus extra for kneading ¼ tsp salt 1 tsp ground mixed spice 2 tsp fast-action dried yeast Zest of 1 lemon 1 large egg, beaten 125g raisins 25g chopped mixed peel 50g glace cherries, rinsed, dried and quartered 175g marzipan Melted butter, for brushing Icing sugar, for dusting

This spiced and fruity Continental sweet bread is perfect for serving over the festive season with a glass of warm mulled wine.

1. Put the butter, milk and caster sugar in a small pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.

2. Sift the flour, salt and mixed spice into a large bowl and stir in the dried yeast. Make a well in the centre and stir in the milk mixture, lemon zest and egg. Mix together with a round-bladed knife to form a soft and sticky dough.

3. Turn the dough onto a well floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. At first the dough will be quite sticky so add more flour as necessary.

4. Flatten out the dough and knead in the raisins, cherries and peel until just combined. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for about 1½ hours, or until doubled in size.

5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes, then roll out to a 25cm square. Shape the marzipan into a sausage shape and place down the centre of the dough. Fold one side over to cover the marzipan then repeat with the other side, overlapping in the centre. Seal the ends. Place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Cover with oiled cling film and leave in a warm place until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5.

6. Bake the stollen for 35-45 minutes until golden and sounds hollow when tapped underneath. Brush the hot stollen all over with melted butter and roll in the icing sugar to coat. Leave to cool.

INTERVIEW

Spike’s All Star Band, Iconic singers performing their greatest hits Exclusive:

Izzy Ewen of Discover Magazines interviews Queen’s keyboard player and musical director Spike Edney Founded by renowned musician and musical director, Spike Edney, THE SAS BAND is the “Ultimate All-Star Band.” Featuring a world class band, the artists and musicians who appear with The SAS Band (a.k.a. Spike’s All-Stars) are some of the world’s greatest Rock and Pop performers. Since their debut in 1994, The SAS Band have made various television appearances and performed at an array of international high profile public concerts, major corporate events and exclusive private parties around the world.

What inspired you to put the SAS band together?

Back in the 70's, I jammed with a bunch of like minded players at a regular Sunday pub session in Southampton. I daydreamed about having a larger band with horns, percussion and backing singers. I spoke to several musicians about the idea and was met with a luke warm reaction "too much work and not enough

money" they all said, so I shelved the plans, but held the thought.

Then in 1994, I'd just finished a world tour for Brian May and his "Back To The Light" solo album, when I got the call from Peter Chegwyn at The Gosport Festival asking me to put together a "Jam session" for the Friday Party Night. I decided to have a go at something more organised and called on Brian May's Band - Cozy Powell (drums), Neil Murray (Bass) and Jamie Moses (gtr). From the very start of Chris Thompson (Manfred Mann's Earth Band) singing "Davy's on The Road" I knew it was the start of something!

accepted. I then went along to see an old drumming mate of mine, Larry Tolfree play with Kiki Dee and he introduced us. By the end of the evening she was on board as well. That became the template for all the artists that joined us rapidly; either an introduction, or recommendation from a friend, or me just walking up and asking outright if they wanted " a night of fun". That sounds too saucy to turn down, right? Word soon spread how The SAS band was a great night for artists and audience alike and we have gone from strength to strength.

The rest is a continuing history of The SAS Band featuring some of the best singers in the world, singing the best songs.

Is there a running theme with the songs chosen?

Our Motto is "Maximum Fun, Minimum Grief". The songs chosen are either the biggest hits, or the songs the performers most want to play. I often ask the artists if there are any songs they've loved forever, or that have been major influences on them. Just recently we worked with Mel C (of the Spice Girls) and she wanted to sing "River Deep, Mountain High" (Ike & Tina Turner), as it was her Mum's favourite and she had also loved it as a child. She had a blast performing that song.

How did you go about choosing artists to perform with you?

The line up of the first gig in 1994 was completely dictated by the artists that I could approach directly. I didn't want to go through management, as I knew they would refuse me. Chris Thompson had worked with us on some of Brian's tour dates, so he was my first call. I knew Tony Hadley vaguely from Queen days and I bumped into him at The Jazz Café in London. He said he wasn't doing a lot since Spandau Ballet had split and I knew he was generally up for a laugh, so I asked if he wanted to join us and he

Who are the biggest All Stars in your line up?

Too many fab ones to list, but it's always nice to work with Jeff

Beck, Roger Taylor and Roger Daltrey. Our regular favourites also are Madeline Bell, Chris Thompson, Patti Russo, Kiki Dee, Tony Hadley,Tom Robinson and Midge Ure. A while back we were the houseband for "The Meltdown Festival" at The South Bank and in one evening got to work with Ray Davies (The Kinks), Paloma Faith, Sandie Shaw, Carl BarĂŁt ( The Libertines) and the legendary Ronnie Spector (The Ronettes). It doesn't come any more fun than that. Well... except maybe playing along with Stevie Wonder on his version of "Happy Birthday" for Nelson Mandela at Radio City in New York!!

What do you think of mainstream music today?

I occasionally watch the top 40 videos on a Saturday morning and I notice that a lot of DJ's are making records these days and that's probably why the production values seem the same on so many tracks. When a production team write and produce artists, they tend to stick to the proven formula, when in reality it's diversity that has always propelled music to expand the boundaries.

It is the artists, more often than not, who should be driving the music forward. Look at The Beatles, or Jimi Hendrix - talent, songs and music always came first.

Who do you think are the Rock Stars of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chart music?

Dunno - not many stay around long enough for me to form an opinion. In recent years, I have had time for Vintage Trouble, James Morrison, Paulo Nuttini and Bruno Mars is definitely an exciting talent, who I think will be around for a very long time. More recently, Royal Blood have caught my ear and let's not forget the magnificent Adam Lambert- a true star in my opinion. I think he has the vocal chops and musicality to stand astride the whole range

of music today. It was interesting to see how easily Queen took his dance track "Ghost Town" and gave it their own unmistakeable twist and how the new version thrilled both Queen fans and Glamberts alike. See it live on youtube from the recent South American Tour.

Do you play other instruments than the keyboard?

I still play guitar and I used to play trombone, which I took up after seeing the band "Chicago" play at the last Isle of Wight festival.

Their trombonist, James Pankow became an instant hero of mine and when I eventually met him I became a quivering teenybopper, just like a "One D" fan in front of Harry Stiles!! As I age, I think I might have a go at push button chromatic Harmonica like Stevie Wonder. It's very tricky though and will probably need a few years on a porch, practising!

What are your plans beyond the current tour of SAS Band?

I am currently cataloguing my collection of personal photos, stage clothes, instruments and tour memorabilia for an exhibition due to open in November at The Portsmouth Guildhall called "Spike Edney - from Landport to Live Aid". This exhibition will chart my musical career from my first band in the 1960's, through the tours with iconic soul Legends of the 1970's then on to the world tours of The Boomtown Rats, Dexy's Midnight Runners and Duran

Duran, plus my longstanding association with Queen and the launch of The SAS Band a.k.a.

Spike's All Stars. I've also been threatening to write a book telling the whole gruesome story in gory detail, so I'd better get that rolling before I start to forget the best bits!!

Is there a band today that you consider as talented as Queen?

Queen are unique and I'm not sure if anyone else can rival them.

Bands these days don't really get the chance to develop and grow as artists, as they used to.

Careers seem to last a couple of CD's at most before the artists are discarded by an ever more fickle music business. Having said that I do have a lot of time for "Muse".

Who would be your dream line-up for the SAS Band?

My mind boggles at the thought, but I regret not ever managing to get Steve Marriot (Small Faces) before he passed and some day I would really like to get Joe Walsh, Robert Plant, Steve Winwood, Peter Frampton, Alison Moyet, Lisa Stansfield and Terry Reid onstage with us - at different times!

LIFE BEGINS

Finding gifts for the “Nothing I need” Brigade

By Kate McLelland

“There’s nothing I need. Don’t buy me anything.”

It’s the festive season, and not buying anything just isn’t an option, unless you want to feel like a cross between the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas morning. But what do you get for those friends or family members who genuinely seem to have everything? I’m not talking a mansion, a yacht and a Ferrari: just all the things required for comfortable, everyday living.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when it’s likely that they will have collected all the knickknacks, gadgets and gizmos they’ll ever need. So what are the options when it comes to buying an original gift for the man or woman who says “There’s nothing I need”?

champagne balloon flight for one (from £109 at www.buyagift. co.uk). This isn’t the kind of gift you can keep in your bottom drawer, but the lucky recipient is unlikely to ever forget the sensation of drifting high over the British countryside with a glass of bubbly in their hand.

Give a goat

Adopt a rare animal

At Oxfam (www.oxfam.org.uk) it costs just £25 to buy a goat for a needy family trying to survive in areas affected by war or drought, who can use the gift to produce nutritious dairy products such as milk and cheese. Oxfam also supplies a brightly coloured gift card that explains your purchase.

The World Wildlife Fund (now called WWF) has another clever gift idea for people who like to feel they are helping a good cause. Go to www.wwf.org.uk and buy an “adopt a wild animal” pack as a gift. This isn’t an actual adoption – your donation won’t be linked to a specific animal – but the adoption pack does include a cuddly toy version of the chosen species.

An unforgettable experience If you’ve run out of gift ideas for your nearest and dearest, why not give them an experience?

It could be anything from afternoon tea for two at a choice of 70 hotels and restaurants nationwide (£36 from www. redletterdays.co.uk), to a hot air 30

Go retro Treat them to a retro sweet hamper (£36) or a retro chocolate gift box (£12.95) full of Munchies, Curly Wurlies and other nostalgic goodies,

both from www.retrosweets.co.uk. Vintage board games are also popular: you can buy old games in “as new” condition from online retailers such as eBay and Amazon.

Buy a gift voucher It used to be that gift vouchers could only be exchanged at one particular retailer, but those days are long gone. The “Love2Shop” voucher can be spent in over 20,000 UK locations, including restaurants, hotels, spas and leisure resort (www.highstreetvouchers.com).

Can’t afford any of the above?

If your Christmas gift budget won’t stretch to the items mentioned here, consider giving the gift of your time. Buy a small gift box and enclose a note promising to do something for the recipient: a couple of hours of gardening; baking a cake every week for a month; decorating the spare room.

These gifts are a far cry from a boring box of toiletries or a shirt and tie set, and at least you’ll win Brownie points for original thinking. You’ll also avoid the dirty looks and long silences that come from having taken the “Nothing I need” brigade’s protestations a bit too literally!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Justin Friel feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service the Locks Heath & Whiteley areas and Justin is finding that his

approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense.

I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve

done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

BEAUTY

Beauty gifts that won’t break the bank Beauty gifts need to be a little bit decadent. The recipient should feel truly pampered, and will appreciate that you haven’t just picked up a run-ofthe-mill gift set with your supermarket shopping.

However, that doesn’t mean that you have to max the credit card out this Christmas. So, here are our top picks for great value skin and body care gift sets, starting from under a fiver.

A gift for your mum Pai have released a limited edition version of their bestselling Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil, for £22.

This oil is the darling of the beauty media and packs a pretty powerful anti-aging punch. It’s the most concentrated rosehip oil on the market, and has been shown to offer visible skin healing benefits, including improving skin firmness, and minimising the appearance of scars, stretch marks, sun damage and fine lines. It also feels lovely to apply.

For your sister Neal’s Yard Uplifting Jasmine & Ylang Ylang Organic Collection includes a shower gel and body cream, and is a real bargain at £15. As well as smelling absolutely divine, the products are very nourishing, so are ideal for the cold winter months. Packaged in a pretty gift box, this set is sure to go down a treat.

36

Stocking fillers If stockings are still the best part of your Christmas morning, you’ll love Narynda’s sample pots. Choose between the Body Care Pack at £5, and the Face Care Pack at £7.50, then just wrap each item separately. They both offer great value for money, and are ideal for a weekend away. Narynda’s products are formulated from some of nature’s finest skin soothers, including oat oil, grapefruit oil and beeswax, so they’re a good choice for sensitive skin.

Secret Santa The prettily packaged soaps by Akamuti are 100% natural and handmade. The Rose Beauty Soap Bar contains shea butter, olive oil and cocoa butter, along with luxurious rose oil. A bar costs £4.75 and is a much more thoughtful choice for a co-worker than the usual box of chocolates or gift voucher.

For a friend Who wouldn’t want to receive the gift of beautiful hair?

KMS California has released three gift sets this Christmas, each containing a shampoo, conditioner, two styling products and a hair accessory. Choose the desired results from Tame Frizz, Moist Repair and Add Volume.

Each set retails at £29.95.

For a party host If you fancy giving your host something a bit more imaginative than a bottle of wine or bunch of flowers, a gift set from B Skincare is a great choice. The lavender scented B Relaxed set is particularly relevant at this hectic time of year, and at £12.50 it won’t break the bank. Handmade in Cornwall by a small family business, B Skincare make seriously luxurious products, at pocket-friendly prices.

One for the boys Buying for a man who understands the importance of good skincare? The Elemis Perfect Man giftset should go down a treat. The set comprises Ice Cool Foaming Gel (for shaving), Pro-Collagen Marine Cream for Men, Aching Muscle Super Soak and two sachets of Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel Eye Masks. At £49 it isn’t cheap, but as it includes £77.50 worth of products, it is great value for money.

HOME INTERIORS

Make room for guests at Christmas Stella sofa bed in Herringbone, £1,340, sofa.com, 0845 400 2222.

The tree is decorated and the turkey in the freezer, but are you ready to welcome friends and family this Christmas?

Katherine Sorrell outlines some quick and easy ways to create extra space for holiday visitors.

Sinnerlig stool, £50, Ikea, 020 3645 0000; ikea.co.uk.

Lounging around If you’re going to need somewhere for everyone to relax in the living room, bring in beanbags for the kids and pop cushions on top of coffee tables and benches to create a few extra TV-viewing spaces.

A bed for the night No guest room? No problem. A sofa bed, day bed or futon – or simply a longish sofa – will do the trick. A good quality airbed is a great thing to have, too. If your living room is acting as a temporary bedroom, clear space for your guests’ luggage and place a small lamp near the head of their ‘bed’ and a spare throw or blanket nearby. Use a box, bag or basket to stow bedding during the day.

Dinner is served An extendable dining table is perfect for accommodating additional guests; alternatively enlarge your table temporarily by topping it with an overhanging sheet of plywood (you might want to protect the table with a pad or cloth first), covered with a pretty tablecloth. Or, create a separate dining table – maybe just for kids – using anything with a flat surface, from a trestle table to a coffee table, surrounded by

40

cushions on the floor.

Any old china If you haven’t got enough crockery for all your guests, plan ahead and pick up extras at car boot sales, charity shops or vintage shops; the same goes for glasses and cutlery. If all else fails, have a stack of paper plates to hand – no one will mind once the turkey is dished out, and at least you’ll save on washing up!

Are you sitting comfortably?

If you have a shortage of dining chairs, consider investing in a few inexpensive folding chairs that you could hide out of the way when not in use. If you’re not keen on how they look, try covering them with pillowcases and adding a pretty cushion.

Alternatively, a flat-topped stool can double as a seat and as a side table – handy next to that seldom-used guest bed, too – and will slide out of the way under the table when not in use.

Hallway solutions Extra guests means a proliferation of coats, shoes, boots and umbrellas, so a simple stacking shoe rack will always come in handy, as will a few extra hooks mounted on the wall.

How about a free-standing coat rack? Or, for cheap and instant

space-saving, over-door racks, hooks and shoe organisers can be added anywhere in the house.

Eat, drink and be merry Aim to create enough room in your kitchen to store all your festive goodies by clearing out your cupboards and fridge in good time. Add internal racks, shelves, boxes and baskets so you can stack everything neatly (clear plastic makes it easy to see everything at once).

Bathroom bliss Clear plenty of space for your guests to store their toiletries before they arrive and look for bath and shower caddies that attach by hook or suction, allowing you to stock all sorts of products out of the way. Provide clean towels on a separate hook or rail from your own – a clothes airer that hooks over a radiator is ideal – and some luxury soaps. Your visitors will never want to go home…
