6 Gifts Ideas for Girls off to University

test test - Monday, August 13, 2012

Got a friend or family member who’s off to university in September? You might want to get her a special gift to wish her luck. Leaving home for the first time is nerve-racking enough but there are some things you can do to make sure your university-bound daughter, sister or friend is prepared to take on her new life and hit the ground running.

Idea number 1: A quality leather purse with at least one ID window

Prime Hide Purple Hide Leather Purse 22808 £18.99

Having a purse with at least one ID window is so important as a university student. Entrance to university buildings, halls of residences and libraries is almost always done either by showing a university ID to a desk clerk or swiping it through a card reader so you need to have it handy at all times. Having a purse with a specific ID window means you don’t have to fumble around looking for your card or even take it out. Students are also likely to have various bus passes, student discount cards and society membership cards that they need to present on a regular basis so a purse with more than on ID window is always a bonus. However, not just any purse will do. Seeing as this purse is going to be carted around from libraries to refectories (often not in a bag as libraries sometimes don’t allow you to take them in) it needs to be well-made from good quality leather so it can stand up to the abuse.

Idea number 2: A chic leather laptop tote

Bramble & Brown Red Leather Laptop Tote £159

Between lectures, seminars and library visits, your daughter or friend is going to have plenty of books to carry and she’s going to need to take her laptop along too. Instead of getting her a book bag and a separate laptop case, a laptop tote is a neat and stylish option. The latest leather laptop totes are extremely spacious with plenty of organisational pockets. They contain a central padded section to keep laptops safe and secure that can be removed for extra space when not needed. What’s more, seeing as laptop totes look like normal handbags rather than laptops bags, they earn extra points in the style stakes.

Idea number 3: An iPad or Kindle cover

Prime Hide Fuschia Leather iPad Sleeve £22

The latest trend amongst tech-savvy students is to read lecture notes and course materials on an iPad or Kindle. Of course, these devices need to be protected but most girls will want them to look good too. If your daughter or friend doesn’t already have a stylish case for her iPad or Kindle, this is the time to get her one.

Idea number 4: A stylish evening clutch bag

Anna & Robert Red Patent Leather Channely Collection Clutch Bag £39.75
From May balls and formal halls to normal nights out, students have so many occasions to get glammed up. So why not treat your daughter or friend to a stylish evening clutch? She’ll have plenty of use for it!

Idea number 5: A leather rucksack

Auchamo Soft Italian Leather Backpack Green £112.99

Once upon a time backpacks were not considered cool for girls heading off to university but not they’re making a fashion comeback a quality leather backpack would be perfect for hauling books to and from lectures or carrying sports or gym kit.

Idea number 6: A weekend bag or holdall

 

Pellevera Italian Red Leather Holdall Overnight Bag £157

Worried about missing your loved one as she makes her own way in the world? If you buy her a stylish weekend bag or holdall, perhaps she’ll be tempted to use it and come home more often.

Top Graduation Gift Ideas for Girls

test test - Monday, July 16, 2012

Have you got a friend or family member who’s graduating from university and is about to make her way into a daunting job market? We’ve picked some essential accessories for new grads that will help her wrangle everything from her laptop to her CVs to her first set of business cards.

Kenneth Brownne Ladies Tan Italian leather 2 Handle Business Bag £95

One of the most important items any new grad needs is an interview-ready bag. She needs a handbag that is grown-up, sleek and professional and will help her make a good impression at interview. This Kenneth Brownne bag might be the perfect work and interview bag if she’s looking for a job in a more conservative industry. It’s neutral, reasonably sized, sports only the tiniest of hidden logos and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

Kenneth Brownne Ladies Italian Leather Tote Business Bag Burgundy £95.99

If your grad just can’t stomach carrying a neutral bag (and I feel you, because I’m not that great at it either), then something sleek and traditional in a bright colour, like this burgundy Kenneth Brownne tote, is her best non-neutral bet.

Designer Red Italian Leather Business Card Holder by Giudi £21.99

I remember my first business cards very clearly; receiving them was one of my proudest moments as a new member of the workforce, and it made everything seem very official. Once the grad in your life gets hired, she’s going to need something like this Giudi red leather card holder to store hers.

Rowallan Verona Leather Underarm File - Briefcase £75

It’s downright difficult to find a stylish portfolio to hold actual papers (as opposed to an iPad) these days, but the Rowallan Verona Underam File is exactly the thing a grad needs to carry her resumes when attending interviews or job fairs.

Braun Buffel Ladies Large Zip Around Purse - Black £99.99

Everyone needs a good purse and the zip-around styles like the Braun Buffel Ladies Large Zip Around Purse are my favourite because they hold everything more securely than the alternatives. This is a gift that a grad can use for years to come.

How to choose an iPad case

test test - Friday, June 22, 2012

"Er...excuse me sir, you should probably think about getting a case for that."

For anyone who owns an iPad a protective case is an absolute necessity. You just bought your new iPad, so what exactly are you going to do now aside from enjoying its amazing features? Well, the first thing you need to do is buy a case. You need to protect your iPad from dirt, scratches, bumps, and other elements that might ruin it.

However, with countless cases out there, you find yourself in a dilemma. Which case would you choose? Which iPad case really suits you best? Well, worry no more, your questions are answered.

1. Sleeve Case

Prime Hide Black Leather iPad Sleeve £22

A sleeve case is ideal for those people who are always on the go since using this case is trouble-free. You just need to slip in or slip out your iPad. This type of case is use to cushion and protect your unit. Hence, it shields your iPad from scratches, bumps, dirt and fingerprints.

2. Carry Case

Prime Hide Black Hunter Leather iPad Bag £62.99

This type of case looks and functions much like a cross body bag. Not only does it protect your iPad from bumps, scrapes and drops but it also has a few pockets where, depending on size, you can safely carry your iPad Dock, USB Power Adapter and Connection Kit.

3. Folio Case

Prime Hide Black Leather iPad Cover £24

Folio or book-like cases are ideal for those individuals who prefer to protect their iPad in a more classic form. This type of case has a hard cover which truly protects your iPad not only from scratches, bumps, scrapes and dirt but also from incidents that may crush or flatten your unit. Folio cases may or may not include a stand.

4. Zip-around Case

Prime Hide Black Leather Zip-around iPad case £39.99

This type of iPad case can be similar to sleeve case or a folio case. They are ideal for those looking for extra security as the zip ensures that your iPad stays well and truly inside the case.

You are now armed with all the knowledge you need to decide what type of case you need to protect your iPad. You might consider purchasing multiple cases for different environments. Remember, owning an iPad without a case is asking for trouble.
