ABOUT GRIP BOOST:

Founded by former University of Maryland and Baltimore Ravens Tight End, Matt Furstenberg, Grip Boost produces a revolutionary grip-enhancing gel and spray, as well as gloves for football and golf players. Furstenburg teamed up with engineering Ph. D.’s from the University of Maryland’s Chemical Engineering Department to combat the rapid decline of tackiness / grip on football gloves after a few days of wear. Using modified chitosan, a natural biopolymer made from crab shells, they formulated Grip Boost gel, a patent pending technology used to restore the sticky grip to football gloves without leaving any residue on the ball. The successful partnership between science and athletics has led to the development of new products in other sports such as baseball and golf. To learn more, visit https://www.gripboost.com/.

Traditional Indian Fire Pits

www.scumblegoosie.com

For hundreds of years these rugged Fire Pits were originally reserved for ceremonial occasions in India and the surrounding regions but they have since become more widely used for general culinery purposes. There are many similar designs sold in garden centres and DIY stores but we are proud to say ours are the “real MacCoy”!

Much thicker and more solidly built than many of the others on the UK market, we have had these specially made for us in Jodhpur (where our furniture comes from). They are strong enough to be used on a regular basis, rather than just summer BBQ’s, whether it’s for cooking on or simply as a Fire Pit. Available in a range of sizes from 40cm to 90cm but even the smallest one is still big enough to rustle up a few steaks on!

Because we are getting these Fire Pits direct from the skilled craftsmen who make them for everyday use for the people of Jodhpur, we are able to offer them at a very competitive price – especially considering their rugged build quality!

40cm diameter £79

60cm diameter £139

70cm diameter £159

Push your boundaries with the new moto g6 and moto e5

Motorola announce the new Motorola moto g6 and moto e5 families at a global launch event in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Packed with features and premium functionality, the new moto g6 and moto e5 families are designed with the consumer in mind, offering exceptional value. The devices will be available in the UK from 2nd May starting from £119.

Five years ago, Motorola set out to address a gap in the market: quality smartphones that could do great things – at a price that even more people could afford. These phones had to be current, designed that year – not last year’s models at cheaper prices.

The first moto g became the best-selling smartphone in Motorola history. Since then, we have continued to push the boundaries of the value equation even further with the debut of the moto e, a smartphone that was fully loaded and fairly priced. The moto g and moto e product families offer the perfect combination of features for consumers who don’t want to compromise on quality, style or experience.

This year the legacy continues with the newest generations of the moto g and moto e families. They have the innovations that matter most to you. They are smarter than ever and focus on display, design and power. They have the speed and power of Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processors and run Android™ 8.0 Oreo™. They have great Moto Experiences that unlock AI opportunities.

moto g6 plus: Smart camera. Serious performance
The new moto g6 plus is picture perfect in every way. Featuring a 5.9″, 18:9 aspect ratio, its Full HD Max Vision display delivers vivid colours and all the fine details. Capture the most creative shots using its advanced software and focus in an instant with Dual Autofocus Pixel technology.

Taking great pictures even in low light just got easier, thanks to its large f/1.7 aperture and 1.4um pixel size. But capturing those breathtaking moments is just the beginning, the smart camera system supports text scanning as well as landmark and object detection.

moto g6: Designed to impress. Built to create
The moto g6 is designed to impress. Its 5.7″ Full HD Max Vision display delivers vivid colours and fine details, while its attention-grabbing 3D glass back creates a gorgeous shape and look that stands out among other premium smartphones.

Advanced imaging software means studio quality portraits, artistic black and white shots, and hilarious face filters come to life through the dual rear 5MP and 12MP cameras. And it keeps getting better, instantly lock or unlock your phone with the multifunctional fingerprint reader.

moto g6 play: Play today. Charge tomorrow

The moto g6 play works as hard as you do, helping you set aside plenty of time to play. Its powerful 4000 mAh, all-day battery1 can last up to 32 hours on a single charge, giving you the ultimate peace of mind when out and about. Take it a step further with its powerful 1.4 GHzOcta-core processor that gives you the speed to access photos, apps, and everything in between, without any stutter or lag time.

moto e5 plus: Big screen. Big battery. Hello entertainment

Wanderlust Wine extends wine-by-the-hour service

– Expanding wine to Londoners’ doors due to popular demand –

Wanderlust Wine launched their Wine on Demand service back in November 2017. As of today they have expanded operating areas, extending the service to be available to wine lovers in further parts of North and East London including the densely populated Canary Wharf.

Wanderlust Wine supply wines sourced from small, artisan producers around the world, which they have an exclusive relationship with. Each of the wines is made in a sustainable way, and the direct sourcing allows for clear and transparent pricing.

The London-only service was a first for wine merchants; the on-demand service gives customers the flexibility to order sustainable, quality wines at short notice, with delivery to your door within an hour of ordering. Wanderlust Wine’s on-demand service can turn those forgetful moments into thoughtful surprises or face-saving moments. Customers can Order the wine you want when you want, avoiding any poor planning mishaps:

On your way to a friend’s dinner party and you’ve forgotten to pick up a bottle? Customers can get one delivered in time for your arrival
Mid-way through a dinner party and find yourself running out of fizz? Skip the desperate dash to the nearest off license and enjoy quality made wine without embarrassment
Enjoying a night in and don’t want to leave the cosiness of the sofa to get more wine? Get online to the mobile-friendly site and have a bottle at your door within the hour
Forgotten to post a card for a family member’s birthday? Go one better and surprise them with a bottle of something they’ll love

Wanderlust Wine was founded by Richard Ellison, a former banker and self-professed wine fanatic, who identified a gap in the market to offer good value, quality wine made by small producers that are off the beaten track, with sustainability at their hearts. Wanderlust means ‘a strong desire to travel’, which reflects the company’s aim to help wine lovers explore the boundaries of the wine world, with new wines, new regions and new styles, at affordable prices; and now with quicker delivery times than ever before.

The Wine on Demand service will be available 7 days a week, taking orders from 9am to 10.30pm via www.wanderlustwine.co.uk/wine-on-demand

Father’s Day Gifts with a Conscience: The Stylish Reusable Ecoffee Cup, from only £7.95

For an original, beautifully designed, yet practical product, which also happens to help reduce consumer waste, look no further than Ecoffee Cup.

The Ecoffee Cup is manufactured using bamboo fibre (the world’s fastest-growing, most sustainable crop) and corn starch, which means it’s BPA and phthalate free. Ecoffee Cup is sturdy but light, it has a resealable ‘drip proof’ lid for easy storage in bags, and it is fully dishwasher safe. Bamboo is naturally sterile and so it doesn’t flavour-taint drinks, unlike some other reusables, making it the ideal choice for the hurried coffee-on-the-go commute. It also works to brighten up Dad’s train journey or his desk at home or work!

Ecoffee Cup offers a wide range of vibrant designs to suit all tastes; from block colours, striped or spotted, to geometric, feather or floral patterns. The William Morris collection will make a unique gift for any interiors, art, or design lovers, with 14oz cups priced at only £11.95.

With over 100 billion single use coffee cups going to landfill every year globally the Ecoffee Cup is the perfect choice for those looking for a cup with a conscience.

Although talks of a Latte Levy have thrust single-use waste issue further into public discussion, many British tea and coffee drinkers still believe that single use cups from coffee chains are recyclable. The reality is that the plastic or wax linings used to make the cups waterproof make the separation process very complicated, so the vast majority end up in landfill. Today, many coffee shops and cafes across the UK are already offering customers discounts on their hot drinks to incentivise the use of reusables, which means that an Ecoffee Cup will be saving the British coffee consuming public money in 2018, as well as reducing their plastic footprint!

Tackling the ever-growing problem of single-use packaging waste while simultaneously providing a stylish, practical reusable cup for the coffee-consuming public, Ecoffee Cup, has set up the #stopthe100billion campaign in an attempt to raise awareness of the waste issue, educate the public and effect real change in the way we consume takeaway products.

For more information or to purchase your Ecoffee Cup, go to www.ecoffeecup.eco.

Father’s Day is fast approaching, and this year, why not give him something he really wants, and really needs!

The perfect present that the whole family can enjoy all summer, the Roccbox!

7 Day Northern Lights & Whales Tour

What better way to spoil dad than to get to know the island of “fire and ice” in autumn? This special journey gives the opportunity to witness the Northern Lights and different species of whales. Look forward to a 3-day-cruise with shore excursions and interesting lectures, before an exciting bus tour along the Northwest coast back to Reykjavik.

The Ocean Diamond leaves Stykkisholmur in the direction of the Westfjords where the dark clear sky offers the greatest chance to view the Northern Lights.

Explore Husavik, the ‘Whale watching capital’ of Iceland where the town’s offshore waters are home to fifteen different whale species, as well as dolphins. Watching these graceful ocean giants in their Arctic habitat is an unforgettable experience.

Visit the impressive Godafoss, ‘the waterfall of the Gods’, where in the year 1000, the idols of the ancient Nordic religion (godars) were then thrown from the top as the Icelandic parliament decided to give up their pagan religion in favour of Christianity.

On the way back to Reykjavik the tour passes Deildartunguhver, the most powerful hot spring in the world. A stop is also made to admire the beautiful Hraunfossar waterfalls, before continuing to Thingvellir National Park, the ancient site of the world’s first parliament. The journey ends after a city tour in Reykjavik.

Dad’s time to wine!

Bacchus Sommelier Andrew Giblin shares top five drops for Father’s Day 2018

Forget socks and jocks, this Father’s Day treat dad to a decent bottle of wine and really, truly make his day. And who better to advise on the First Pour for Father’s Day than acclaimed Bacchus Restaurant Sommelier Andrew Giblin, himself a father to one very little and perfect princess!

See below for his Top Five Drops for Father’s Day 2018…

For the quintessential Barossa Shiraz-type Dad – try the 2014 Kaesler ‘Bogan’ Shiraz.
This 100% Shiraz is a blend of two vineyards in the 1899 Marananga and 1965 Nuriootpa plantings. Taste-wise it is the world-famous Barossa Valley-style red, full of ripe plums, black cherries and smooth tannins. It’s the perfect accompaniment to Father’s Day steak dinner. Winemaker Reid Bosward tried this wine out in the front bar of his local hotel with a steak sandwich and when he passed the bottle around for some input, the response was unanimous – ‘you’re crazy if you don’t buy two’!

For an award-winning Dad – try the 2012 Jim Barry ‘Benbournie’ Cabernet Sauvignon.
One of the first families of Australian wine, Jim Barry Wines from the Clare Valley have been producing top quality wines since 1959. Currently presided over by managing director Peter Barry and his sons Tom and Sam, Jim Barry Wines are now available in more than 25 counties around the world and were recently named winery of the year by one the world’s most influential wine writers, Matthew Jukes. The Benbournie Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Clare Valley in South Australia. It is deep crimson red with a mix of dark vine fruits, dark chocolate and fresh garden herbs. It’s designed to be enjoyed now but will also stand up to be ing cellared for another 30 Fathers Day’s.

To take the 2018 Favourite Child title – try the 2016 Savaterre Estate Chardonnay from Keppell Smith.
Located in Beechworth in Victoria, Savaterre was established by Keppell, after working with Phillip Jones at Bass Phillip. It is dry-grown, hand-tendered and farmed along organic principles. Fermented using only indigenous yeasts, the wine is unique, intensely textual and complex. The Chardonnay is greenish gold, vibrant, bright and aromatic. Matched with some chargrilled sweetcorn on the cob or fresh natural oysters, this wine will surely remind Dad who his favourite child is!

When you can share a sip with Dad – try the 2014 Genesis Syrah.
For those children old enough to share a sip with Dad Giblin recommends a wine from father and son team, Julian and Adam Castagna. The 2014 Genesis Syrah is estate-grown Syrah with a small proportion of Viognier from one of Beechworth’s mos t iconic wineries. With a firm core of red and black fruits and vibrant floral tones, this wine delivers a structure that is both gentle and complex. This Father’s Day you will probably find Adam and Julian out the back of the winery, sharing a bottle, enjoying a house cured prosciutto pizza cooked in their very own pizza oven.

For Francophile Dads – try the 2015 Bouchard Pere & Fils ‘Beaune de Chateau’ Premier Cru Rouge.
Beaune de Chateau comes from 17 different Premier Crus that are fermented and barrel-aged separately. This wine has a history back to 1907, and the 2015 is an outstanding example. 100% Pinot Noir, it is black cherry, red currant and blood orange, and is a wonderful example of why Burgundy has been the dominant force in Pinot Noir for centuries. The 2015 vintage is ready to drink immediately and requires no cellaring to enjoy with any manner of poultry, especially duck. (Giblin let sli p he plans to be sitting on the couch enjoying a toasted duck and mushroom sandwich, watching the footy and sipping on a glass of Beaune de Chateau this Father’s Day!).

ABOUT BACCHUS SOMMELIER ANDREW GIBLIN
Wine almost runs through Giblin’s veins – he hails from South Australia and has been in the wine industry for 30 years, during which time he has nurtured many relationships and tasted many, many vintages! He has spent considerable time in Europe, living in Paris and travelling through the famous wine regions, and returns regularly. He is also a conastt visitor to Australia’s wine growing regions. Passionate about regional wines, he has singularly; created the award-winning and internationally acclaimed wine list at Bacchus, one that pays tributes to wines from all over the world. He is also dad to xx-year-old xxxxxxx and is hoping for lots of presents and hugs this Father’s Day. As well as maybe a well-earned rest!bacchussouthbank.com.au

New-look bottle design for the Moorland Spirit Co’s award winning premium spirit Hepple Gin.

Collaborating with Scottish design studio Timorous Beasties, known for their bold and often edgy vision, they have found a design that captures the true wildness of the spirit that this experimental distillery creates.

The Northumberland based company launched Hepple Gin in October 2015 and has gained recognition for its pioneering “triple technique” that captures the true character of the fresh juniper found at the Hepple estate.

The brief for the new design was to depict how The Moorland Sprit Co. brings the green juniper vividly into every bottle of Hepple Gin. To express the wildness and freshness of the spirit whilst presenting some of the science that lies behind their Triple Technique system. Timorous Beasties were chosen for their ability to show nature at its wildest and most vibrant with a scientific modernity which is in sync with The Moorland Spirit Co.’s vision for its premium gin.

A book prescription is a unique and unusual gift for Father’s Day. From the literary gurus, Book Therapy, book prescriptions (or curated reading lists) are personalised book recommendations based on an individual’s needs or habits.

In a world where a new book is published every minute, selecting the right book can be a tricky endeavour. Book Therapy connects readers to the right books.

You simply give us a few details (by completing a short questionnaire here) about your father’s reading interests and habits and we put together a personalised book recommendation list. This includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry and philosophy and can be classics or modern literature, best-sellers or little-known but powerful books, ranging different time periods and authored by a variety of writers.

A thoughtfully curated list, the books recommended are guaranteed to inspire and enrich. (Remember to select the ‘Gift Instantly’ option and this will be delivered straight to dad.)

The men’s sport slide sandal, sport sandal and slide sandal offer a OOfoam that allows the wearer to anchor themselves in a material that will maximize output.

Help! Calling on all Beatles fans

Help us secure the future of the iconic Strawberry Field site by joining our ‘Strawberry Field Buy a Brick’ fundraising campaign.

The Strawberry Field site, treasured by John Lennon, has become a gathering place for Beatles fans from across the globe. Fans will now have an exciting opportunity to own a piece of the old Victorian Building that stood on site when John used to spend his time there.

There is a limited edition of 2,500 bricks, which will be released in 5 batches. Each brick is individually numbered which comes complete with a certificate of authentication.

Strawberry Field holds a special place in the history of The Beatles, with John Lennon’s experiences in and around the children’s home providing inspiration for the unforgettable song, ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’.

Julia Baird, John Lennon’s sister and Hon President of the Strawberry Field project says “I am sure that all Beatles fans will find a way to support this significant project that will bring hope to so many young adults with learning disabilities. With Fathers’ Day coming soon, what better present could there be for lovers of Strawberry Fields Forever!”

John grew up with his aunt Mimi just a stone’s throw away from the site, he used to jump over the wall to play and regularly joined the children during the annual Garden Party and was said to find peace and refuge in the grounds. The large Victorian mansion was the centre piece of the estate, then sadly it was demolished in the 1970s but during the development work for the new plans, we have managed to salvage a number of original bricks.

Owners of this last piece of Beatles heritage in Liverpool, The Salvation Army, have ambitious plans to redevelop the site. The new vision for Strawberry Field will weave together educational, cultural, heritage and spiritual exploration in one bold, imaginative plan.

To own a piece of Strawberry Field is a special gift for the Beatles fan in your life. If you are scratching your head wondering what gift to get this year for your Dad, then look no further! But hurry we are now taking advance orders to be delivered in time for Father’s Day on 17 June 2018.

Bricks are priced at £75 per brick; orders are limited to 4 bricks per customer.
Also on offer is the opportunity to purchase a ‘Bundle’ package which includes a brick, a t-shirt and a mug all for the great price of £95. The first release is available for pre order now simply go to store.strawberryfieldliverpool.com to secure this special piece of memorabilia.

You can also purchase a range of exclusive merchandise that will also support the fundraising campaign to help us open the famous red gates to the public for the very first time.

Jules Sherwood, Fundraising Development Manager at The Salvation Army said,

“Help us bring Strawberry Field back to life again, we have big plans and we need your support to achieve them. We have had amazing support and encouragement from Beatles fans and the Beatles Industry Group in the City, we hope this opportunity to be part of the past and future of Strawberry Field will appeal to fans around the word.”

NEW FRAGRANCE, NEW LOOK FOR PLAYBOY

South Africa’s fastest growing male deodorant brand, Playboy Deodorant has undergone an impressive overhaul revealing stylish new packaging and a brand-new fragrance. October sees the introduction of Playboy Code Black – a fragrance that unlocks the ambience of night. “This fragrance turns the everyday guy into an international man of mystery,” says Matthew Dees, Playboy Deodorant Brand Manager.

“It represents the nightlife and lifestyle associated with being a debonair man-about-town. The packaging features the night lights of the city skyline and, if turned upside down, could represent a Matrix-like code. This alludes to the dark and mysterious scent that is Playboy Code Black.”

The Playboy aerosol range has a new-look design with an innovative twist-cap, while the roll-on range has a new curvaceous shape making it easier to grip and use. “We conducted extensive research into international packaging trends and we’re confident that the new packaging across the aerosol and roll-on ranges is the best possible styling we can offer our consumers,” says Dees.

Earlier this year, Playboy was voted South Africa’s coolest male deodorant brand in the Sunday Times Generation Next Survey Awards. The HDI Youth Marketeers-run survey recognises South Africa’s best and “coolest” brands – including products and celebrities – as voted for by 12,000 youths between the ages of 8 and 23.

“The brand has had a great year,” says Dees. “We’re thrilled to be able to offer our consumers a new product and a better design, and we welcome any feedback on the packaging and scent.”

Carrol Boyes Wines: The Genesis

Lovers of renowned gifting and homeware label Carrol Boyes will know that over the years the brand has come to encompass far more than the distinctive tableware for which it first became so highly revered. As designer and artist Carrol Boyes’ creative vision expanded, and as her work became more and more widely known, so too did her ever-growing repertoire of designer pieces.
Today, the Carrol Boyes range spans over 1000 pieces of handcrafted functional art. The range includes not only the aforementioned cutlery in pewter and stainless steel, but also porcelain crockery, glassware, furniture accessories such as scatter cushions, and even, leather handbags and jewellery. Yet another welcome addition to the Carrol Boyes family has been the introduction of Carrol Boyes Wines, a natural extension of the Carrol Boyes way of life.
Carrol Boyes Wines offers an award-winning collection of fine wines that bear bespoke Carrol Boyes labeling. The wines embody the Carrol Boyes lifestyle and are created jointly by the renowned South African designer, and her brother, John Boyes, together with his business partner, Neels Barnardt, both of Barnardt Boyes. In the same way as Carrol designs and manufactures distinctive functional art pieces for the home, so Barnardt Boyes turns ancient soils and fair climates into sumptuous wines with rich sensory appeal.
Carrol Boyes Wines came about when John and Neels first began developing their fine wine cultivars. At this stage, John approached Carrol to collaborate on a brand extension because he felt strongly that this South African wine collection needed a series of labels designed by the iconic brand that would also embody the spirit of the wines he was wanting to make. Hence the Carrol Boyes Wines collection was conceived.
The signature label designs that Carrol has created for the bottles – each containing a notable wine – truly set these collectible vintages apart. In essence, Carrol Boyes Wines is a superb pairing of Carrol’s art with the art of winemaking, a creative endeavour which combines science and modern technology but honours a heritage of more than 350 years. Barnardt Boyes’ resident winemaker Hendrik Snyman puts his considerable talents to work in creating the wines and has been the recipient of a number of awards.

Carrol Boyes Wines are a logical fit for the homeware range in other ways, too, in that the Carrol Boyes stores and e-commerce site carry a range of exquisite wine coolers and wine glasses that are the perfect accompaniment for the wines. Naturally, a vintage from Carrol Boyes Wines is best enjoyed when served in one of these beautiful vessels, surrounded by friends and family, and in the pursuit of one of life’s most simple pleasures…

Carrol Boyes Wines are available online via www.carrolboyeswines.com and at the dedicated Carrol Boyes store in Somerset West.

AlpinerX The Most Beautiful Outdoors Smartwatch The perfect blend of Alpina Heritage and Modernism into the world’s most beautiful Outdoors Smartwatch.

Kickstarter Crowd Funding Campaign Announcement

Alpina carries a long history of innovation and collaboration. Back in 1903, the Alpinists, a group of watchmakers and retailers would collaborate together to decide on the future designs. We feel that Kickstarter is the modern version of that heritage of collaboration, where Kickstarter Community Members are the Alpinists. Alpina wants to offer its customers the chance to give their feedback and thoughts about the AlpinerX.
The AlpinerX Smart Outdoors watch uses advanced measurement functions benefiting from environmental sensors: UV, temperature, altitude, pressure, north direction.
The functions are measured in real time by the watch. They can be displayed on the digital display as well as time, date, activity, stopwatch and other time recording functions.
The AlpinerX also uses the Horological Smartwatch platform. It tracks your activity, records and analyses your sleep patterns and notifies missed calls and messages. It connects to the AlpinerX companion application over Bluetooth Smart. The AlpinerX companion application enables you to easily configure the parameters of your watch. It extensively logs all the measurement data and displays them on graphs.

The AlpinerX has been carefully conceived and designed in our manufacture in Geneva. With its sporty and powerful look, its quality materials and refined details, the AlpinerX makes a strong statement and quite simply, an exquisite timepiece to wear.

About Alpina
THE ORIGINAL SWISS SPORT WATCH ALPINE SPORTS WATCH MANUFACTURING – SINCE 1883
Alpina, famous for its red triangle signature, is a fine watchmaking manufacture based in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 1883, Alpina’s watchmaking history spans more than 130 years.
A true pioneer of the Swiss watchmaking industry, Alpina has been the source of numerous patents and innovative calibres. Alpina invented the concept of the Swiss sport watch, as we know it today, with the birth of its legendary Alpina 4 in 1938.
Today, Alpina is one of the very few Swiss watch companies, which develops, produces and assembles its movements entirely in-house. Alpina proposes five in-house calibres: the AL-980 Tourbillon; the AL-718 World Timer; the AL-950 Automatic Regulator; the AL-710 Automatic Small Date, and, most recently, the AL-760 Flyback Chronograph, featuring the patented “Direct Flyback” technology. And now the AlpinerX AL-283 calibre.
Faithful to its long tradition of innovation, in 2015 Alpina introduced the first connected Swiss Made Horological Smartwatch, thereby creating a new watch category in the Swiss watch industry.
Alpina’s mission is to design and engineer luxury sport watches that operate with the greatest precision and reliability possible in the most demanding sporting environments, like the Alps.

Glendalough Distillery, was founded by five friends from Wicklow and Dublin with a deep passion for reviving the heritage of craft distilling in Ireland. The distillery is located in a narrow glacial valley in the Wicklow mountains, about an hour or so south of Dublin. Glendalough, pronounced glen-de-lock, is Gaelic for the glen of two lakes.

Glendalough has three fantastic products which I thought may be on interest for any Father’s Day features that you are running this year: Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin, Glendalough seven year-old single malt and Glendalough 13 year-old single malt.

The Glendalough Wild Botanical Gin is made with local botanicals foraged from the Irish countryside by Geraldine Kavanagh (Forager) and Rowdy Rooney (Stillman). All four Irish seasons have been captured in one bottle to create a gin which makes a refreshing G&T served with plenty of fresh ice, a quality tonic and for garnish, twist of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint.

RRP £32, available nationwide at Oddbins stores, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Wholefoods and online at Amazon.

The Glendalough whiskeys are both aged in unique and innovative casks, and have been finished in Dublin Porter casks and Japanese Mizunara oak cask, respectively. The 13 year-old is the first ever Irish whiskey to be aged in Japanese oak. The best way to enjoy these is neat , with a drop of water or a cube of ice.

Seven year-old, RRP £50, available at Milroys of Soho, MasterofMalt.com & TheWhiskyExchange.com.

13 year-old, RRP £89, available at Fortnum and Mason , Milroys of Soho , Amazon, MasterofMalt.com & TheWhiskyExchange.com.

PURE PLANT PROTEIN BRAND, GROWING NATURALS, LAUNCHES BENEFIT BLENDS “A.M. ENERGY” AND “P.M. RESTORE,” AS A ‘ONE AND DONE’ NUTRITION APPROACH

New Samples Debut at Expo West, March 09-11, 2018 @ Booth 4371

(Marina Del Rey, CA, February 19, 2018) – As sleep problems, lack of energy and obesity rank among the top 5 health issues that consumers claim they are personally affected by, Growing Naturals is introducing a new line of power-up morning prep and power-down evening restorative nutrition rituals into a single scoop. Growing Naturals’ first suite of products, Benefit Blends, includes A.M. Energy and P.M. Restore, both available in 14-serving canisters. Each canister has a suggested retail price of $39.99, which breaks down to $2.86 per serving, less than a cup of coffee, and the new formulation will be available for retailers to sample for the first time at Expo West, March 09-11, 2018.

Part of a new condition-specific supplement trend, these products are uniquely allergen-friendly, vegan, non-GMO, great tasting and include many organic ingredients. The first SKUs of the Benefit Blends line feature a complete protein blend of pea and organic rice protein with dozens of other supplements and aids to provide consumers with energy and a way to fight pre-lunch hunger in the beginning of the day, and expert blends to address stress, sleep and snacking at night. Because the body requires replenishment of *protein every 24 hours and adults need 45-100g of protein per day, the first portion (18g) is provided in the A.M. Energy blend and the second (15g) in the P.M. Restore blend. These low-sugar blends can be shaken or blended with water or any type of milk, and P.M. Restore also works well as a hot sipping drink.

“Instead of chasing your cup of coffee with a protein shake, a handful of vitamins and a high fiber drink,” said CEO of Growing Naturals, David Janow, “we developed this line to be a ‘one and done’ approach to a productive lifestyle. At night when our body needs to truly rest and recover for the next day, we put together a formula ranging from fiber to antioxidants, and chamomile to melatonin to help tackle this as well. The base of our product is, of course, hunger-curbing protein, which humans need replenished every 24 hours and can aid absorption of other nutrients. The initial Benefit Blends are powered by a combination of pure pea protein plus organic brown rice protein, Oryzatein®, which has been recognized by the FDA as a GRAS food, has been shown in two separate clinical trials — one of which included MMA pro fighters — and was shown for the first time to equal animal-based whey protein in building and maintaining muscle in a clinical trial.”

Benefit Blends by Growing Naturals feature:
A.M. Energy comes in a Morning Mocha flavor and was developed as a morning power-up dietary supplement with 20% of the *daily requirement for protein. Key ingredients include 18g of complete plant protein (the equivalent of 3 eggs); 100 mg of caffeine from green tea extract and coffea robusta seeds (which compares to one cup of coffee); 6g of fiber (similar to 2.5 cups of raw broccoli); 4.8 mg of iron (equal to 6 cups of raw spinach leaves); plus 18 vitamins and minerals.

P.M. Restore in Divine Dark Chocolate flavor is designed to provide the other 15% of the *daily requirement for protein in a 24-hour period, along with a sleep blend, hunger-curbing fiber and the antioxidants the body needs for evening repair. Key ingredients include 15g of rice and pea protein (equal to 2.7 oz. of wild salmon); 5g of fiber (which compares to 2.1 cups of raw broccoli); 4.8g of iron (equal to 1.2 cups of kidney beans); and enough Vitamin C to equal a large tangerine. The proprietary relaxation and sleep blend includes Lemon Balm Leaf, Chamomile Flower, Melatonin, 5-HTP and 2 specialized amino acids.

About Growing Naturals, LLC: Growing Naturals is about delivering unique, premium nutrition, powered by pure plant protein, and convenient to all people no matter their eating lifestyle. Our Growing Naturals nutrition products, feature allergen-friendly, plant-based protein powders concentrated without chemicals, from organic brown rice and yellow peas.. Benefit Blends by Growing Naturals, and the Pure Rice Protein products feature Oryzatein®. Shown to be the first plant protein to equal animal-based whey protein in building and maintaining muscle, Oryzatein® was also shown to more quickly absorb Leucine, the key muscle-building amino acid which allows rice protein to act like a complete protein.

*The daily requirement for protein varies based on a person’s activity level, age and weight, but on average starts around 50 grams for adults.

A Day’s March [for the cool dad]:

Born in 2013, A Days March was founded by long-time friends Marcus Gårdö, Pelle Lundquist and Stefan Pagréus, with the conviction that today it’s possible to create a beautiful shirt, sneaker or a pair of quality jeans, and market it at almost half the price of traditional premium brands – by eliminating wholesale. The Swedish label opened their first store in Stockholm in 2014, with three further stores opening soon after. The London doors opened in the heart of Soho on 20th April 2018.

Jack Davison Bespoke [for the tailored dad who wants a 1-2-1, luxury experience with his son]:

Introducing Jack Davison Bespoke – a men’s suit atelier and showroom nestled in the heart of the city by St Paul’s Cathedral. Conceptualised and launched by entrepreneur duo Will Davison and Jack Stammers, the space offers premium men’s tailoring with a custom-made service.

The pair met whilst training at Thom Sweeney, undertaking just over 14 years between them cutting their teeth at tailoring, learning the trade and honing their individual skill sets. After establishing a close friendship, Will and Jack decided to join forces and embark on a venture together. Shortly afterwards in 2017, Jack Davison Bespoke was born.

The duo wanted to offer something a little different to both the stalwarts of Savile Row and the traditional tailoring already available in the Square Mile. Acknowledging a lack of appropriate sartorial solutions in the City – an area rife with style conscious professionals – the pair opened their first atelier in January 2017 and have been servicing suit seekers ever since, from financiers to creatives and the fashion elite.

Introducing the Only Chance to Ride or Drive Formula and Prototype Racecars in America

Formula Experiences Gives Adventure Seekers the Chance to Go 140 MPH Around One of the

Nation’s Most Challenging Road Courses, Unveils the World’s First Open-Cockpit Night Ride-Along

RALEIGH, North Carolina – Previously only available in Europe, high-speed open-cockpit ride-alongs in new formula and prototype racecars are making their American debut this spring. Formula Experiences, offering both the opportunity to ride or drive, is the only chance to feel the speed and power of real 2018 racecars just like the ones driven by FIA pros. It’s the closest to a Formula One or IndyCar experience you can get anywhere in the United States.

Whether driving or riding, new formula and prototype racecars are an assault on all senses. The open cockpit, screaming engine and cutting-edge racing technology create the unmistakable petrol scent, hurricane-style winds, an unbelievable 2G downforce, and the roaring, jolting extreme speed of Formula racing.

Formula Experiences is also the world’s only driving or ride-along opportunity set at a resort. Based at VIRginia International Raceway, America’s Motorsport Resort, guests can wake up in luxury track-side villas, enjoy gourmet southern dining and add karting, autocross, shooting sports and spa treatments to their Formula Experiences stay – all without leaving the property. VIR, which was named one of the top six road courses in North America by Car & Driver Magazine, is located at the border of North Carolina and Virginia. It features 17 turns and 130 feet of elevation changes. This includes the “climbing esses,” a section of the track considered by many professional drivers as one of the most challenging and intimidating in North America.

“Driving a racecar at VIR is an incredible experience that is not just exhilarating, but also one of the toughest physical and mental challenges,” said Peter Heffring, amateur racecar driver and the founder and CEO of Formula Experiences. “There is nothing else that gets me in the zone like racing; it’s a complete escape and there is no better feeling. It’s been a lifelong dream to give other racing fans, car fanatics, thrill seekers and luxury travelers this same extreme speed adventure.”

Guests have the opportunity to take advantage of four different experiences:

• Ride-alongs at Formula Experiences put people in the passenger seat of an open-cockpit racecar going 140 mph. And, what is amazing by day, is epic by night in the pitch-black Virginia countryside – the world’s first open-cockpit night ride-along! Packages start at $225 for three daytime laps or $350 for three night laps.

• The driving experience includes one- and two-day options and limits groups to no more than 12 people so that each can receive personalized attention and maximum track time. Sessions include one-on-one coaching, pro simulator training, and video and course circuit analysis to help even novice drivers reach top speeds. Packages start at $1,995 and go up to $5,995 for a truly luxury, all-inclusive experience.

• Drivers with proven track expertise also have the option to take the real racecars out for laps. Packages start at $450.

• Formula Experiences is the only one-stop-shop for a corporate or group racing experience in the world. Event planners can easily book all activities right at VIR – from meeting space, meals and accommodations to relaxing spa services and thrilling team-building adventure.

Book your drive or ride now at formulaexperiences.com, or see the thrill for yourself on the Formula Experiences YouTube channel.

A gift for an entrepreneur…

A gift for a perfectionist…

Ailsa Bay is not your traditional whisky. The only Scotch whisky to undergo ‘micro-maturation’, it is a precision-distilled single malt that is perfectly balanced between smoke and sweetness.

Ailsa Bay RRP of £55.43 at any major retailer, including Master of Malt

Irish whiskey is triple distilled and a blend of all three types of Irish whiskey – grain, malt & pot still. The sweet softness of grain whiskey, soft spice from the pot still and fruitiness of the malt create a uniqueness of flavour that marks out Tullamore D.E.W. from all other Irish whiskeys.

Tullamore D.E.W. RRP of £24.13 at any major retailer, including Master of Malt

New Road Bike Manual App hits the stores
Haynes team up with BikeRadar to create the most complete and comprehensive app on how to look after a bike

Publisher Haynes has teamed up with BikeRadar, the authority on bikes and cycling gear, to create the ultimate Road Bike Manual app for true cycling enthusiasts.

Based on Haynes’ best-selling Bike Manual, The Road Bike Manual app provides an authoritative and trusted voice when it comes to step-by-step maintenance guides. It also offers easy to follow videos and other handy content for any cyclist to digest when they’re on the move.

Available now for tablets and smartphones, The Road Bike Manual App can be downloaded for just £2.99 from the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

From the wheels to the cockpit, drive train, frame care and brakes, the app provides essential how-to information and advice for maintaining a road bike. Packed with handy information and pointers, plus invaluable roadside fixes, it features instructional videos that provide advice on how to fix a bike when it all goes wrong but the tools or parts required to fix the problem probably aren’t available.

When it comes to roadside fixes, the app provides tips on how to fix chains, broken handlebars and an innovative last resort inner tube fix, plus much much more.

With over 30 years’ experience working for and with Tour de France yellow Jersey holders, world champions, Olympians, world record breakers and countless elite athletes, Chaz Curry, who wrote the app’s content, said: “In producing this app, I was keen to convey the techniques and ‘trade craft’ that have taken over thirty years for me to learn.

“Whilst most online content gives the user instructions on how to complete a project, they rarely highlight the finer points that allow you to complete the job efficiently and to a professional standard. “By passing on this knowledge, I hope that the user will have the confidence to take on any of the tasks that I have covered in the app and come to enjoy fixing and maintaining their own bicycle themselves.”

Dave Clutterbuck, BikeRadar’s Publishing Director, added: “There is so much information available to today’s cyclist about bike repair and maintenance, but the quality and utility of this information varies massively. This makes it difficult for people to find the right advice for them. Teaming up with Haynes – a company that shares our heritage of world-class reader advice – has allowed us to create the best tool for cyclists, whatever their level of expertise.”

With new content being added every month, The Road Bike Manual App will be a continuously updated product all for one low price – meaning that never before has Haynes offered its content so inexpensively.

Download The Road Bike Manual App now from the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

Mental Health Awareness

A new book from Kevin George that explores the hearts and minds of top footballers. It contains 50 exclusive interviews revealing some fascinating insights into the mental health challenges footballers face, including:

Leon Mackenzie revealing how he tried to take his own life following a battle with injuries, but returned to training with everyone at the club acting as if nothing had happened
Marcus Gayle explaining “banter culture” at Wimbledon and how one young player couldn’t face training because of jokes about his mum
Former Tottenham winger Owen Price revealing the mental pressures he faced after signing a lucrative contract, and how he was victimised because as a teenager he earned more than his coach
Dutch international midfielder Bart Rameslaar revealing how fans don’t understand how personal problems affect on-field performance, and how social media makes it impossible to escape
Gael Clichy on the pressure to perform, the lack of emotional care in football, how becoming a father changed his perspective, and how Yoga Nidra meditation has allowed him to block out negative self-talk
Anthony Gardner explaining the mental impact of physical injuries, and how he has witnessed fellow professionals fail to fulfil their potential because they didn’t get the emotional support they needed
Fabian Delph explaining how mindfulness and meditation has transformed his career, and the importance of the sports psychiatrist at Manchester City

Kevin is a former professional footballer himself (West Ham and Charlton), before turning to life on screen as an actor in commercials and in Sky One’s Dream Team. After studying counselling, psychotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, he became human performance specialist and today works with clubs including Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal to help their academy players get the mental support they need.

The Brown Horse Inn, located in the heart of the Lake District, is an 1850’s coaching inn that offers its guests a luxurious and modern take on the rural escape.

This historic venue is the perfect place to take Dad this Father’s Day to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The individually designed rooms include: Flat Screen TVs, Solid Oak Beds and Luxury en-suite bathrooms. The original exposed beams and fittings maintain the unique character of the Brown Horse Inn.

In the restaurant, the sophisticated menu has a contemporary take on traditional local fare, with the majority of the meats and vegetables reared and grown on the Brown Horse Estate. Anything that is not direct from The Brown Horse Estate is sourced locally.

VanMoof launches new high-tech, thief-proof city bikes

• VanMoof launches new Smart bike series worldwide

• VanMoof Smart S & X remove common barriers to bike ownership – offering rider recognition and multiphase theft protection

• These high-tech city bikes are also available by subscription from £17 per month, making quality bikes accessible to a wider audience and improving urban mobility

London, April 24, 2018 – VanMoof, the innovative bike tech company set to disrupt urban transport and mobility, announces today its latest series of high-tech city bikes. The 2018 Smart series integrates new technical features such as automatic driver recognition and multiphase anti-theft protection. The VanMoof Smart is now available in VanMoof shops worldwide and online, and they can also be used via a VanMoof+ subscription starting from £17 a month.

These are the key features of the new VanMoof Smart series:

● Rider recognition – Thanks to secured bluetooth technology, the bike responds when the owner is near, automatically disabling the theft defense system.

● Ultimate theft defence – The bike responds with progressively louder warning sounds when tampered with.

● Comes with bodyguards – When the location tracking mode is activated, VanMoof’s Bike Hunters are notified, the lights flash SOS, and all functions are disabled.

● Tokyo-inspired X Frame – Originally a Japan exclusive, the unisex X-frame is now available worldwide in a Smart version, suited to all riders between 155 and 200 cm.

● Available on subscription – Unlock these high-tech bikes from £17/month, including unlimited servicing and theft protection.

● Smartphone app – Remembers your parking location, controls the lights and theft defense settings. Free, over-the-air updates mean the bike gets smarter over time.

● Self sufficient – These bikes are designed to be practically maintenance-free, and all the electronics are automatically charged by your pedal power.

● City proof – Features all VanMoof signature elements: integrated high-power lights, hidden smart features, and enclosed self-tensioning chain.

Theft defence perfected through smart interconnected features

Over the past ten years, VanMoof has put considerable effort into tackling bike theft. To complement its unique Bike Hunter service, the company has developed a theft defence system which has been integrated into the new Smart range. The new Smart S and Smart X offer several features specifically designed to this effect:

• Sound – When a potential thief tampers with it, the bike emits warning sounds – thanks to the world-first integrated speaker system – which gets increasingly loud and more conspicuous.

• Tracking – When reported stolen, the bike’s location is automatically sent to VanMoof Bike Hunters, who get to work tracking it down.

• Lockdown mode – If stolen, all vital systems are disabled and the lights flash SOS in Morse code (alerting others) until the bike is reunited with its rightful owner.

“Big cities around the world, including London, are struggling with a high number of stolen bicycles – we have tackled the problem at its root. With our intelligent technology we have created a bike that can take care of itself,” says Ties Carlier, co-founder of VanMoof.

High-tech bicycle also available by subscription

The monthly bike subscription plan makes it possible for anyone to ride a premium bike, worry-free and at low-cost.The Smart S and Smart X bicycles are the first to be available as VanMoof+ subscriptions from £17 a month. VanMoof+ subscriptions include unlimited repair and access to all-round theft protection as well as bicycle use in all VanMoof cities for you and a travel companion.

“We’re tapping into a need the world is asking for right now. We build our bikes to be extra robust in order to keep them on the road for as long as possible. With the VanMoof+ subscriptions we are proving that high-quality bicycles including theft insurance are cheaper in the long term,” says Taco Carlier, co-founder of VanMoof.

Immediately available

The bikes are available in S- or X-frame versions, with three or eight gears, in the colours Thunder Grey and Fog White. Sales prices start at £848 for the 3-speed model, and £1098 for the 8-speed bike (£80 discount on both till May 22) . The “Peace of Mind” theft protection can be booked for £100/£240 for 1/3 years.

About VanMoof

Founded in 2009 by Dutch brothers Taco and Ties Carlier, VanMoof is an inventive bike-meets-tech company. With the mission of reimagining how a bicycle should work in the cities of tomorrow, VanMoof has disrupted the bike industry by stripping out unnecessary parts, improving the essentials, and integrating smart technology. VanMoof has received many accolades for its unique solutions, including the “Best Product Design” award from Fast Company’s 2015 Innovation by Design Awards program, and a prestigious Red Dot design award. All VanMoof products are available at VanMoof.com and in VanMoof brand stores in Amsterdam, New York, San Francisco, Berlin, London, Paris, Taipei and Tokyo.
