Sponsored post | It's a Gift with Rex London

Iona Bower July 17, 2024

We all love a celebration and there are many special days throughout the year that warrant a spot of gifting. Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, a new baby, home or job, or perhaps just to say congratulations, buying a little something lets someone know they’re special. However, Rex London believes that sometimes the simple act of gifting when it’s out of the blue can really make someone’s day – better still, it’ll make your day, too.

In a survey conducted by the online retailer, Rex London found that 92% of people think that gift giving is more fun when the recipient doesn’t expect it. A figure echoed by the 91% who said that they themselves found receiving an unexpected present was more fun than the standard offerings, such as on birthdays and at Christmas.

But when it comes to choosing the ideal token of your affection, Rex London says that no one should be impossible to buy for. With a huge range of bright and cheery toys, games, accessories and homewares (including the prettiest storage you ever did see!), there’s something to delight everyone, and every budget – including pocket money gifts for under £1. And if you’re still stuck, there’s even a Gift Inspiration section with ideas to fire up the imagination.

Perhaps the next time a loved one springs to mind, consider a little gift… just because. Be it to cement your status as a cool auntie, to let a friend know that they’re truly amazing, to remind someone of fond memories or simply because it’s a Thursday and you were thinking of them. After all, the real gift of giving is not the act of handing over the pressie, but the smile and the extra big hug you’re sure to get back in return.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
