We’re Giving Away Free Presents!!

At Handpicked, we get (a little embarrassingly) over-excited about Christmas. We also love being nice to our customers, so we decided the best way to incorporate these two things was to give our customers free presents. Yes, that’s really how much we love presents. Every day up until Christmas we are going to giveaway a [...]

Vintage Frames Company

After sitting on my second pair of Ray-Bans, I vowed never to buy expensive sunglasses again. So far, I have resisted and have done well at buying £5 glasses (and sitting on those too). That is until yesterday when I discovered The Vintage Frames Company and their new online shop.
These are a few of the [...]

Holly Fulton for Smythson

Have you seen Holly Fulton’s gorgeous new design for Smythson? We especially love the Soho Diary with its beautiful Swarovski clip.

The geometric shapes and the tone of the colours are similar to her gorgeous SS11 show from London Fashion Week.

Mock Croc Trend Spot

There are lots of things that I have my eye on from our Christmas catalogue. One new product that I know for a fact has made it onto the lists of the majority of other girls in the office is Fit- Your-Life-In Clutch Purse from Aspinal of London (right). It’s dark shiny exterior contrasts [...]

Pin Up Workout

Handpicked girls came across the website for the Pin Up body workout yesterday. We’ve all vowed to sign up next month when it comes around again. The idea behind this is not to get super skinny but to get fitter, eat healthier and meet some people who are bit obsessed with 40’s pin ups.
For £99 [...]

Silk Eye Mask

Another review of one of Victoria’s favourite products…
Don’t let the sunshine ruin your hard earned lie-in.
I never thought I’d say this but the sun has been getting on my last nerve. While the summer weather brings lazy afternoons and picnics in the park it also brings longer days, hot and sleepless nights and early [...]

Cowshed

Give it a year and Nurofen will be out of business thanks to Cowshed. This really rather sumptuous spa is the epitome of relaxation and honestly you could never play the hangover card if you’ve been here the morning after – it really is that good. There’s even a café for some top class nosh [...]

May Secret Post Club

I received my lovely parcel this month from Sam from www.mumstheblog.co.uk and http://keepcalmeatcake.blogspot.com. She sent these incredible Cake Balls – I’d seen the idea around before but had never tried it out first hand. There was a similar company on Daily Candy last week. I meant to take a photo before they all disappeared [...]

Paws for Thought

“Oh help, oh no, are we really selling Gruffalo paws?” This was my first reaction to a Handpicked Collection product that has since become a bestseller. If you don’t know Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’sclassic illustrated children’s book, The Gruffalo, imagine a tiny mouse hoodwinking a terrifying monster into believing that, despite his size, he’s [...]
