TOG 24 Beverley Womens Waterproof 3-IN-1 Jacket

uploaded picture

The UK weather can be highly unpredictable, so the Tog 24 3 in 1 jacket is the perfect solution. The two piece set teams a fully waterproof coat with a detachable quilted jacket. Layer up and wear this versatile combo as your warmest of winter coats, or use each one separately. When we say waterproof, we really mean it. High performance fabric won't let in a drop, all the seams are taped and for good measure we've also given it a water repellent coating. A high neck keeps you warm and gives a chunky look when you're zipped up. In pelting rain you can tighten the hood around your face and adjust the cuffs and hem to keep out the wind. A dual-use zip lets you fasten up the jacket or zip it into to the waterproof,and secure the two together with press studs at the neck and cuffs. The 3-in-1 concept makes it so easy to adapt to changing temperatures and conditions so you'll never be caught out at any time of year.

Personalised Photo Cushion & Fleece Blanket from VISTAPRINT

Perfect for snuggling

Looking for a gift idea that feels like a hug? Personalised cushions are a great way to create a one-of-a-kind accent piece for someone special. Whether you feature treasured photos or celebrate their favourite colour, you can create a piece they’ll always love to keep close.

Designed your way

Made of soft (yet durable) 100% polyester, personalised photo cushions make comfy accessories for beds, loveseats and more. Plus, you have plenty of design options: Print on a single side, match the front to the back or upload something completely different onto each side.

Seamless photo uploads

To start creating your personalised cushions, upload the high-resolution image of your choice. Look over your design and add any final touches you might like — then we’ll take care of the rest. Your photo cushion will be printed on high-quality fabric and will arrive ready to wow.

WHAT DID WE THINK?

These are such a beautiful idea and great keepsakes to give as gifts for any age.  We were super impressed with the quality, we expected the print to be at least a little grainy, however the image as you can see is incredibly crisp and clear and the material itself is super soft and silky.

A really fantastic quality gift at a really affordably price too.

Cushion RRP from £15.99

Get cosy with your own unique personalised blanket. Whether you’re looking for a fun yet practical gift or just want to add something new to your home design, personalised fleece blankets are a memorable keepsake. Why not create a personalised name blanket for a new baby? Or even a personalised dog blanket to spruce up your pet corner? Just add your favourite photo or a favourite design to bring a smile whenever you wrap up.

Ready to create your photo blanket? Choose from our assortment of options to design the right personalised blanket for your needs. Then add all your custom touches — images, text and more. After that, we’ll take care of the rest, professionally printing and sending your order. Your custom creation will arrive looking crisp, cosy and ready to snuggle.

WHAT DID WE THINK?

These blankets come in two sizes starting at 127cm x 152cm so really are a fantastic size, again we expected a slightly grainy image but were really impressed to see the quality of these.  They look fantastic and are super snuggly and soft to cosy up with.  Personally ours will be gifted to use as a bed throw but they are also amazing for sofa snuggle blankets.  Although we went for a custom emote design, as with the cushions you can have anything you like printed on the blanket and the software on the Vista Print website is super easy to use making these perfectly accessible and easy to order even for the techno phobes out there

Blanket RRP from £36.22
