I always try to look out for good stories and this thread on Redditt really caught my eye. It may be embellished somewhat, or be totally factual, but it got me thinking – what’s the best £7.00 I’ve ever spent?
Of course, it depends on how far you want to go back but I think I know what mine is. Twas the night before Christmas (seriously), when all through the house – not a creature was stirring and… Here’s how I spent my £7.00…
I love quality time with my family and Christmas Eve is always special to us. I sat flicking through the local paper and a really great film was showing at my favourite cinema, the Electric Cinema, the UK’s oldest working cinema.
The Electric Cinema
Due to start that very Christmas Eve evening was ‘A Wonderful Life’… I just couldn’t resist booking a ticket. The Price? £7.00.
Of course, I couldn’t go alone. So I booked three further tickets, for my wife and two daughters, each costing an additional £7.00 each ( I know I cheated a little bit there).
A Recipe for Happiness
So here’s my formula for happiness:
My Family + Christmas Eve + The Electric Cinema + A Wonderful Life = The Best £7.00 I have ever spent.
What’s yours?

If you’ve already broken some of those New Year resolutions then don’t feel too bad. Make yourself feel better and buy some top quality relaxing incense to help create the perfect calm in your home.
It’s always a false economy to go for really cheap incense. Whether your choice be incense sticks or incense cones – it’s a good idea to invest that little bit extra and you’ll be richly rewarded with high quality fragrances.
Wild Berry Incense
Quality Wild Berry Incense
If you’ve not sampled the Wild Berry Incense brand then it’s well worth a little of your money. The incense sticks always gets great reviews from customers, 70 incense reviews in total give it a 5/5 star rating, so they’re well worth a look.
The Wild Berry incense sticks are made in a modern style, the incense sticks are dipped in high quality fragrance /essential oils, to give some wide-ranging good aromas. There are around 75+ incense fragrances at the time of writing and the standard incense sticks last around 30 – 40 minutes.
Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa Incense
Quality Nag Champa Incense
This well recognised Indian incense is exported worldwide and is very popular. There’s a good selection of incense stick fragrances and you can get them in a fragrance to suit your mood.
Just a few that are currently available to try are:
Nag Champa Natural Incense, Celestial, Rainforest, Fourtune, Super Hot, Romance, Blessings and many more.
The Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa incense sticks again get good incense reviews with most of the fragrances getting a 5/5 star rating. You can try them in smaller 15g packs, costing around £1.75 – £2.00, right up to bulk buy 12 pack incense boxes.
The Nag Champa fragrances tend to be more subtle in their variance to each other, as most of the base materials are formed around the sandalwood plant. Based on the incense reviews it would be a good choice to start with this brand/fragrance if you’ve not tried them before.
The best way to explore any new incense sticks or incense cones is to test out the smallest pack size available and go from there. Prices are very reasonable and good incense can mask unpleasant smells and create a feeling a calm and relaxation around your home. Go try some new incense today.

Table Runners with that Luxury Feel
Matching Table Runners
I’m talking luxury table runners here and not covers or cloths. The table runner adds a touch of class to any dining table either for creating a simple decorative effect, or for that special occasion when you intend to wine and dine.
The silky feel table runners come in a matching luxury design and look even better when you see them in flesh so to speak… you’ll also feel the quality. These featured table runners are ideal for matching with the above cushions for a themed look.

They’re a great addition to any feature fireplace, large mantelpiece, a grand dinner table or simply in your hallway to add a touch of theatre and class to your home. Each wooden candle stand is hand finished and polished up to give an original design.
All you need to do is add a decorative candle, church candles are ideal, and the candle stand will be complete. You don’t even need to light the candles as the decorative effect has already been achieved. Go on… and some grandeur to your home.
