The Queen’s Birthday is April 21st, but as is tradition, she has a second Birthday held in summer when there is a better chance of good weather for the Birthday Parade! Officially the Queen’s Birthday this year, is this Saturday, June 9th, and it has got us in the mood for gift giving!
We thought we would pick out some of our favourite gift ideas if you’re in need of some inspiration for getting that special someone a Birthday present, token gift, or perhaps a thank you.
AC Gallery and Framing here in the Yard have a variety of beautiful paintings and prints to suit every style and taste. We think that gifting a picture or piece of art is a fabulous present, as they are timeless and kept forever. Exclusive to AC Gallery, we love the prints by Danny Abrahams they are so dreamy and peaceful! What makes them even better is that 25% of all sales are donated to The Principle Trust Children’s Charity.
This is our favourite, ‘If you Dream You Can Do it’

Gifts that offer that special someone a little pampering always go down well. I mean, who doesn’t want a good excuse to relax and unwind once in a while? Boots do a tempting selection of pampering beauty sets. If it is for her, why not treat them to this Ted Baker Little Luxuries Mini Beauty Bag Gift. The set contains a smoothing Lip Balm, a mini Body Lotion and a mini Body Spray, perfect as a handbag glam top-up!

Purses and Wallets are also great gifts, often a keepsake item that they will have with them at all times. If you’re looking for a timeless purse or wallet, look no further than Todd’s of Kendal. This classic tartan Barbour purse would be a wonderful gift and comes in a range of colours and tartan styles.
