Home Experiences to Make You Purr with Delight

Staying In Doesn’t Have to Mean You Miss Out on All the Fun

If you have ties at home that mean you don’t get out as much as you used to and you feel you are missing out on all the fun of the weekend, there are some clever ways that you can bring going out ‘experiences’ into your home that will make you feel just as pampered as your footloose and fancy free friends!

Too Tired for a Night out at Vinopolis?

London’s trendy wine cellar of the capital is a fantastic treat but you can bring the whole experience into your home with the Wine Tasting Game from Gourmet Games. Club together with your girlfriends and buy the wine tasting game (£49.95 from www.gourmetgames.co.uk or call 020 8 660 2943) and receive 4 bottles of wine whose identities are masked and learn to taste and appreciate fine wines around your own dining room table. The game comes complete with recipes to cook that complement each wine, party invites and place cards if you want to make a grand evening of it. There’s even a prize for the person who gambles the most guzzles to win the game!

Top-to-Toe Home Spa Treats

It may be cold outside but you can ward off the winter chills by treating yourself to an indulgent ‘Spa at Home’ experience. Bedeck your tub with aromatherapy candles, switch on the relaxing mood music and slip into a hot bath infused with precious natural healing Dead Sea Mineral Salts from Spa Find (£1.99 250g, £3.50 550g) at www.spafindskincare.co.uk the pioneers of Dead Sea and healing-earth spa therapies. Enjoy a luxurious soak before giving your body a good scrub with Spa Find’s delicious Salt Brushing (£2.00 50g, £12.50 500g) seeped in coconut oil with a hypnotic citrus aroma. When you can muster the energy to get out of the bath, smother your body in some Heavenly Hydration with Spa Find’s sublimely smoothing pure cream Mineralizing Body Lotion (£22.00 for 400mls) to delicately blanket the body in mineral radiance.

Big Screen Thrills and Spills

If visits to the cinema are a pleasure that is few and far between, sign up to an online DVD rental service. It is quick and easy and most of the services mean you can keep the DVDs for an unlimited period so no late return fees! Try www.amazon.co.uk or www.blockbuster.co.uk monthly fees start from £5.99 upwards and most run a free trial.

Sing Your Heart Out

No need to trek out to Lucky Voice to test your inner Pop Idol – just £32.99 buys a Griffin iKaraoke from www.iWorld.co.uk. This small pen-sized microphone plugs directly into your iPod and fades out the lead vocals so you can sing your heart out. Go loud through your home stereo or plug into headphones – the choice is yours.
