Help for Heroes tartan iPad cover via ScotlandShop

It was only two weeks ago that I was lusting after the Ted Baker iPad case but after seeing this baby, I’ve decided that my iPad case collection is going to resemble that of my bags, shoes and purses – you can never have too many!

What makes this case even better is that not only will it make your gadget look fab but you will also be helping to raise money for charity as a percentage of each sale is donated to Help for Heroes….

The perfect gift from Scotland supporting a great cause. Our Help for Heroes tartan iPad cover or sleeve protects your iPad in style.

The Help for Heroes tartan is designed and manufactured here in the Scottish Borders. Taking the recognised colours of the British Armed Forces including navy blue for the Royal Navy, the lighter blue of Royal Air Force and red for the Army. The result is a really striking tartan. 

Support our Heroes and raise some funds for a worthwhile cause. A percentage of every sale of the Help for Heroes tartan goes directly to the Charity.

Well that’s me sold! Expect my order at the end of the month – These iPad covers can be purchased online from the lovely guys at ScotlandShop.com

Much love,

Nope, your eyes are not playing tricks and no, you haven’t somehow slept through 4 days and woke up on Friday. It’s my fault for scheduling the post incorrectly last week (duh!) but I really didn’t want to have to pass on sharing this gorgeous specimen of a case with you lovely peeps so just thought, for one week only, Tuesday can be a Friday too!

I have been DYING to get an iPad for soooooooooooooo long. I have driven everyone I know demented by either talking about them or dragging them into a shop to have a play around with one at every opportunity so I finally bit the bullet and ordered one and I am VERY excited!

I still have a couple of weeks before it’s due to be delivered so decided that I was going to learn from my mistakes with the iPhone and invest in a cover before the iPad arrives. I only had my iPhone 2 days when it fell off the kitchen side and the back of it smashed to pieces. I was so gutted! Luckily it was just the back so I was able to cover it with a case but I won’t be taking my chances on it happening again.

I am going to get one of the magnetic cases but just didn’t feel it was going to protect it enough so set about trying find a pretty case and I think I hit the jackpot when I found the Ted Baker Toolia - isn’t it just gorgeous!!! So blooming cute. It will protect the iPad while making it look pretty – perfect!

It’s priced at £39 which I thought was pretty reasonable and available in Yellow, Pink, Orange, White and Black.

Has anyone got an iPad case they can recommend? Would love to hear from you!

Much love,

Oh my gosh, I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am that it’s nearly Christmas!! 3 weeks today and we will be getting ready to tuck into our turkey dinners (although that may not be the case in our household – but that’s another story!!)

This is, without a doubt, my favourite time of year! It’s not because I like receiving gifts, because to be honest I am always very embarrassed when someone gives me a present, to me it’s all about spending the quality time with my family! It’s very rare that we all manage to have the same time off so I really do make sure I savour every minute!

However, always the optimist, I do of course write my wish list for Santa each year and thought I would share this with you to maybe help provide a bit of inspiration to anyone who is having a little trouble thinking of things for theirs….

♥ Ted Baker iPad Case

♥ iPad 16gb White 3G & Wifi

♥ Large Longchamp Le Pilage bag in Graphite

♥ A5 Aqua Finsbury Filofax (got my lovely Aunty Kaff to thank for this one which!)

♥ Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Perfume

♥ Benefit Dear John face cream

So there you have it, my dream Christmas list BUT to be honest with you, none of those things really matter to me this year!

I know that sounds very clichéd but all I could really wish for is that my amazing husband returns from his 6 month tour of Afghan safe and sound – so Santa, if you’re reading this, can I delay my Christmas wish this year until July when I will be waiting anxiously for my mans safe return and I promise there will be extra milk and cookies waiting for you in 2012!

Muchos love,
