The Flip Mino is one of those gadget’s that you just know is gonna be hot this Christmas… if you love your boy’s toys and gadgets then this is well worth a look in.
Weighing just 3 ounces it’s an extremely high quality, easy to use video recorder that sits in the palm of your hand. We’ve been lucky enough to play around with a sample here and can’t put it down.
A key advantage to the Flip Mino is that it has a very useful built in USB key, which allows you to simply plug it into your computer or lap top and upload your home movies to social media sites like Facebook and YouTube (suitable for Mac & PC). Also, the controls on the back couldn’t be simpler, you have a 2 x zoom feature, record button and the playback is a cinch. This is definitely designed for practicality and anyone challenged by technophobia!

When it comes to Luxury Spa Breaks in the UK you really can’t afford to miss out on the highly acclaimed Chewton Glen. Situated just 10 minutes walk from the sea (and some beautiful sandy beaches), the luxury spa is nestled at the tip of the New Forest (Hampshire) in the South East of England.
We recently visited the Spa and discovered a level of relaxation that we have never experienced before. After some time debating between ourselves why Chewton Glen felt so different to many other spas that we’ve visited we came to the conclusion that their secret lies in their unique combination of premium quality at every turn, and incredibly friendly and down to earth staff who have clearly mastered the art of communication!
As you enter the regal gates and navigate the sweeping drive with beautifully mowed lawns either side of you it’s unmistakable that you have reached one of England’s finest spa retreats. You arrive directly at the front porch where you are greeted by porters all keen to allow you to relax as soon as you get out of the car. There’s a very different feel about this place from the outset; no arrogance, pompousness… more like a family all wanting to ensure every part of your stay is a memorable one…
