Five steps to give your mum the perfect Mother’s Day!

2008-02-04T06:56:00.000-08:00

MOTHER'S DAY IS SUNDAY 2ND MARCH 2008!! You have been warned!

Mother’s Day only comes round once a year, so to help you make sure it’s a special day to show your mum just how much you care, here’s a simple 5 step programme to ensure you’re going to be in your mum’s good books!

Step 1: Don’t Forget It!

It’s sounds straightforward – but it really is the most important one! This year (2008), it’s Sunday the 2nd of March. So, make sure you buy your Mother’s Day Gifts, cards, flowers or whatever in good time, and make sure you pop round or give her a call early on during the day, so she knows sooner rather than later that you’ve remembered. Keeping her waiting for her Mother’s Day present until the evening without a call beforehand will simply mean she is left wondering if you’ve forgotten all day long. Put her out of her misery, and make sure she knows you’re on the ball!

Step 2: It’s the thought that counts!

When you’re choosing something to buy for your mum, it’s best to think of a Mother’s Day gift idea that is really going to impress. And that usually doesn’t mean the amount you’ve spent – it means the thought you’ve put into it. So, spend a bit of time thinking about what she’d like – and make sure you don’t end up with a tired old box of chocolates and last minute flowers from the petrol station – because she’ll know!

Step 3: The gift of time

Every mum wants to have a little more time dedicated to her. So why not do just that – whether you’re planning to take her out for lunch or dinner, or out shopping, or even on a special Mother’s Day trip somewhere she loves – wherever she’s going to be going – it’s your company that will ensure it’s a special day. Make sure you allocate adequate time for whatever it is you’re planning to do with your mum – if you’re looking at your watch or having to dash off somewhere, you might as well not have bothered. Focus on letting her know that the time you have together on Mother’s Day is special – and solely dedicated to her!

Step 4: Like water off a duck’s back…

Let’s face facts – every mum has that tendency to know the wrong buttons to hit with their children. Whether she makes snide remarks about your partner – or lack of one, or your child care skills – or lack of them, or your weight, dress sense, car, house…the list can go on and on – however irritating this usually is, and however often these comments end up disintegrating into an argument – on Mother’s Day – let them go. Yep, just like water off a duck’s back – just let her get away with it one day a year!

Step 5: The Rest of the Year

The rest of the year – there’s always an excuse not to pop round, not to call, not to send an email or write – so this year, make a Mother’s Day resolution instead of a New Year’s one – one that’s easy enough to stick to – just get in touch with your mum whenever you think of her. Whether that’s once a day or once every other month – it’s bound to be a little more often than you currently get in touch – and bound to be very very much appreciated by your mum. Remember – you were her little baby once!

For help with telling your mum you love her in style, check out our gorgeous Mother’s Day Gifts to suit every budget.

Valentines Day Gifts - the Minefield of Love!

2008-02-04T06:54:00.000-08:00

When the dreaded date gets nearer, many of us start to panic. Whether you're in a long, long term relationship, been mildly flirting for a few weeks, or even if you're single, the thought of February 14th can initiate panic like no other date!

So here's a guide to what you might want to buy for your Valentines presents, depending on the sort of relationship you're in...without resorting to a bunch of tired old petrol station flowers on the day itself!

For those of you in the very early stages - a few dates in, not met the parents yet, that sort of thing - it's understatement that's probably the best for your Valentines Day gifts. It's hard to find a card that isn't over the top romance, and often a gift does the trick better. Why not check out Helping Hand Giftbag or Celebrate Silliness or even The Little Bag of Beer - all great gifts for him which hit the right tone - fun, affectionate...but not stalker-esque! For Valentines presents for her, have a look at Pamper Giftbag, Treat Time Giftbag or Sweet Girl Giftbox.

When you're more than a few months in and settling into your relationship, Valentine's Day can be a great excuse to add an extra bit of spice to the proceedings! From sexy gifts that inspire a little Lap Dancing at Home through to a night to remember with Sexy Gifts - the Ultimate Collection, there's something to naughty things up, whatever your budget!

When you know they're the one for you, then your Valentines Day gifts are the perfect way to let them know just how much they mean to you. With romantic presents like I Love You, you combine the loving message with a selection of cool presents too, making sure you get the desired impact with your Valentines presents! There's even an I Love You Too Giftbox and more romantic presents, including Sealed with a Kiss, so, with such a great choice of gifts to say those three little words, you can rest assured you're going to be in the good books for some time to come!

For those who are years into a relationship, buying Valentines presents can be tricky. Your other half is probably sick to death of flowers and chocolates - the usual Valentines Day gifts - and is either waiting for some really cool presents or sexy gifts to get things going in the bedroom!
From stylish and gadget gifts, which always make cool presents for him, to jewellery and pampering gifts - great romantic presents for her, there's plenty of choice to buy Valentines Day gifts to surprise and delight this year! Alternatively, get them raising an eyebrow (or two) in pleasant surprise with sexy gifts like a Goody Bag or even Lust!, or even book up a weekend away...with an essential travel companion to take along for the ride, so to speak, in Naughty Gift for a Weekend of Fun!

If you tend to use Valentines Day gifts as an excuse to buy each other something gorgeous, then indulge in some of our Tasty Treats (perfect for sharing!), of check out our Birthday Presents for more inspirational gift ideas!

And, finally, if you're single this Valentine's Day, then there's no excuse to sit around feeling sorry for yourself...buy yourself one of our great gifts, and treat yourself silly!

This Valentine's Day, just make sure your Valentines presents make the grade with Cocoon Collection - whether it's romantic presents, sexy gifts or simply cool presents, we've got your Valentines Day gifts...all wrapped up!

"I think the best gift this site has to offer if the time you give back to everyone who uses it. I have emailed a list of family and friends to you with their likes and dislikes and you have come back with all my Christmas shopping.

Is Christmas Coming Early This Year?

2007-06-20T06:49:00.001-07:00

Well, unless there's something the rest of us don't know about when Christmas is this year, some people out there appear to be pretty organised!

We've had a number of searches in the past few days on Christmas gifts, Xmas gift ideas and so on! A little surprising for those of us who tend to buy somewhat nearer the time!

But when you're working out your budgets for the festive season, a little research does go a long way, especially if you're buying for a large clan of family and friends.

Well, in keeping with the theme, we're delighted to announce our Christmas Gift Guide is available online now - so if you're in need of inspiration for Christmas gifts, not sure what to buy and looking for Xmas present ideas, then our Christmas Gift guide should help point you in the right direction.

We'll have more installments as December draws nearer, but for now, there's ideas on what to buy men, women, children, students and even teenagers. If you're on a budget there's suggestions of Christmas gifts under £20, and if you're looking to splash out there's choices for the big spenders out there.

Take a look if you're planning already, or bookmark it for the future if you're not!

How to Survive a Milestone Birthday - when they don't want to reach it!

2007-06-19T02:12:00.000-07:00

Reaching a milestone can be tough – tough on the milestone-ee, but sometimes even tougher on the nearest and dearest! When they’re not looking forward to entering a new decade – and there’s obviously nothing you can do to stop the inevitable happening – don’t panic! We’ve compiled a list of hints and tips to try and soften the blow.

Contrary to popular mythology, reaching a milestone can be something both women and men dread. So, if they’re about to turn 30, 40, 50, 60 or even 70, you might notice some of the following signs, which indicate they’re more likely to cry than smile when they open their special birthday presents!

Total paranoia and terror that someone might be planning a surprise party.
Failure to want to make any concrete birthday plans – a lot of skirting round the issue, hmming and ‘we’ll see’s.
Not wanting to mention to younger colleagues or friends that this year is a special one.
Becoming overly concerned that they’re showing disturbing signs of similarity, both physically and in personality traits, with their parent/s.
Sudden crash dieting.
Wardrobe overhaul, and a surprising interest in what’s in fashion. Probably coupled with an unfounded decision that what they wore 10-20 years ago is what suited them best, and therefore should be regurgitated!
Eyeing up passers-by 10-20 years younger than themselves, without the required discretion they’ve traditionally employed.
Deciding on a total change of career or lifestyle. And yes, those who have the sudden urge to own a convertible red sports car do fall into this category!

We’re sure there are many more individual traits that many of you could tell us about, but we’ve gone for those that tend to be pretty widespread! And yes, we know, it’s all very good to talk about what nightmarish behaviour your loved one is displaying – but, hey, let’s cut to the chase – what should you do about it?!

We've come a long way in a year too, recently putting our retail experience in gifts to use in the corporate gift market with Cocoon Corporate, our Corporate Gifts website. As you'd expect, we've taken time and care to ensure the gifts we offer help companies to really stand out from the crowd - none of the same old tired stuff on this site!

Plus, we're proud to announce the recent launch of Cocoon Party, where you can buy children's party bags, adult's party bags, hen and stag party favours and unique wedding favours.

Look out for the next post which is full of great tips on what to do when a loved one's milestone birthday is nearing - and they're not looking forward to it!
