You & Me - Part Twenty (last part)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So here it is! The last part!
Thankyou to everyone who has read, liked and reblogged this fic. It means alot to me. Thankyou to @for-fucks-sake-h and @niall-talk for their support and advice.
Hope you like the ending. Let me know what you think! Em x 😘
2900 words
Christmas/New Year's 2017
Callie's POV
Christmas Day had been great with your family, your Mum had cooked an amazing dinner. You'd laughed with your cousins and watched films in your comfy clothes for the rest of the day. You even managed to get a Skype call in with Niall.
Boxing Day was a busy one too. Tom and Claire came over and some of your parents friends. A cold buffet was served as you had a couple of drinks and played cards until late.
You were actually really nervous when your Dad dropped you off at the airport the next morning. You'd met Maura and Bobby before, but this felt like a much more grown up and important meeting with them.
After Niall gifting you a very expensive guitar and calling you the love of his life in his speech the other night, you'd realised how serious the relationship had got. It had sort of crept up on you, the busy life of travelling and touring kind of covered it up. Not that you were complaining, you loved Niall and you knew he loved you too.
If you looked back over the last month, all the signs for it has been there. It wasn't so much as giving things up for each other, more adapting both your lives to include the other one in it. A natural progression from friends to lovers had occurred, although to be honest Niall felt like one of your best friends. But you wouldn't tell Bex that.
You were friends who shared a love of the same music, laughed at the same films, joked with each other. But you were also partners who cared deeply for the other and it physically hurt you to be away from him, a dull ache in your heart. He had slotted into your life easily and you couldn't imagine it with out him.
*********
"Being in an honest, sincere, and committed soulmate relationship helps you to become a better version of yourself. You have to push yourself beyond your comfort zone, beyond your limits to find your better self.
Even though we tend to think of soul mates as a symbiotic union; soulmate relationships can be rough at the beginning. They can be like two jagged edged puzzle pieces trying to click into place. Sometimes it looks like you do not fit together at all, but soon after a little bit of twisting, turning, and flipping the pieces around, you feel the moment of the perfect click. It's a feeling deep in your soul, that says, this is the right one.
Often soulmates appear in disguise. You might not be physically attracted to each other when you first meet, but there is a mysterious force pushing you forward that tells you this is "the right one" for you."
(Quote from June Silny on life hacks.org)
**********
The flight is short from London Stansted to Dublin, just 1 hour 25 minutes. You had barely got comfortable in your seat, before the crew announced you would be landing. Storing away your sketch book back into your bag, you buckled up your seatbelt ready for the descent.
Niall had told you he would be outside the terminal waiting for you, hiding in the safety of his rental car. Your phone rang as you went through the sliding doors, pulling it from your pocket when you got outside, you smiled brightly as you saw it was Niall.
"Hey you!" You said as you answered your phone.
"I love how much you smiled when you saw it was me petal." Niall replied.
You looked up and down the pick up area and saw Niall's car waiting in one of the bays. He smiled when he saw that you'd noticed him.
"Get that bum of yours over here now, I need a kiss." He added.
"Sure thing boss." You replied and then hung up the phone and dragged your suitcase to his waiting car.
Niall hopped out and helped you put your suitcase in the boot of his car before opening the passenger side door for you. As soon as he had sat himself in the driver's seat, he leaned across the centre console, his hand coming up to your cheek. You leaned across to, fisting a handful of his hoodie and pulling him closer.
"I missed you." You whispered as you closed the gap between you both, kissing him gently.
"Missed you to sweetheart." He managed to whisper against your lips, that he didn't seem to want to stop kissing.
"Come on Horan. Let's get going." You said as you reluctantly leaned back in your seat.
"There are some services just as we leave, I need to pop for a wee." He smiled.
"No worries babe, is it far back to Mullingar?"
"Just over an hour."
"Not too bad then."
When Niall pulled into the services five minutes later, he leaned over and gave you a quick kiss and asked if you wanted a coffee from the Costa Coffee shop inside.
"That would be great, and a muffin to please."
"Usual choice?"
"Yes please."
"Won't be long, love you."
"Love you too." You replied with a wink.
Niall practically held your hand all the way back to Mullingar, only letting go when he needed to. Even though you had caught up with each other at least twice a day on the phone and sent numerous text messages while you'd been apart, you still had loads to talk about.
The journey back to his Mum's was a chance to have a bit of alone time, since you'd be surrounded by both your families for the duration of the trip.
He put on some music, Hozier blaring through the speakers, both of you singing away as you cruised down the motorway.
Niall's Mum's house was packed on New Year's Eve. Lots of their friends and family had made it over for the annual party they liked to have. Chris, Niall's Step Dad always did a spectacular fireworks show apparently, and you were looking forward to it.
Your parents, along with Tom and Claire had arrived yesterday afternoon and had settled in well with Niall's family. Maura had asked your Mum for advice with the food for the evening's party, and your Mum had practically beamed at being involved. The pair of them had even exchanged Christmas gifts with each other.
You found yourself sitting next to Niall's Nanny chatting for quite some time, her telling you some great stories about Niall as a child.
"Enough of that." Niall had said to her as she began another story.
He topped up both your glasses with prosecco before helping his Nanny into the garden to get her comfortable for the fireworks. Chris had set up all the garden furniture and patio heaters. There was a large fire pit as well, to keep everyone warm. You made sure his Nanny had a place near the warmth and helped her cover her legs with a fleece blanket. With just a few minutes left until midnight, everyone else gathered out on the patio in the garden, finding themselves a spot by the warmth too.
As the countdown began, Niall wrapped his arms around you from your seat around the fire pit. You cuddled up close to his chest, feeling completely content with him. When the clock hit midnight, everyone was cheering and hugging each other. Chris set off his fireworks and the sky was lit up with colours.
"Thank you for an incredible year Petal." He said, your faces mere inches from each other.
"No, thank you. Next year will be even better." You replied kissing him gently.
As you sat cuddled up watching the firework display, you thought about how much had happened over the last year. You'd travelled extensively with Niall, the band and the crew all over the world. He'd celebrated having a massive hit single with Slow Hands, followed up with a tour and a number one album.
When you had been texting each other back in July while you were both on vacation with friends, you hadn't expected anything apart from a bit of flirting. Finding out that he developed feelings for you had been a shock. Crushing on Niall hadn't been difficult, but you never thought in a million years that he would be secretly thinking of you as more than a friend too.
Everyday that you were together was a new adventure. Everyday your relationship and connection grew stronger. Even the stress of Saskia Jones couldn't break you both. The restraining order had remained even with the news of her supposed relationship with Jasper Littlewood.
Since the morning of Kim and Sam's visit to Nialls house in L.A. with the news that Saskia had been stalking Niall and yourself, you had been 100% honest with each other at all times. The news that she had text him saying she would ruin him and been hard to swallow. It had been beating Niall up inside, he hadn't wanted to scare you away.
But you had been true to your words with each other, no one would break you. Not even Saskia Jones.
*************
13 months later
February 2019
A week after arriving back in L.A. and you still felt like shit. You were pretty good at getting over jetlag, but you knew it must be something more. You felt absolutely exhausted, your face was pale and you had been sick quite a few times. Niall had even attended the Grammys after party without you.
Niall was in the kitchen when you came downstairs after your morning shower. He had been to the gym and then to the grocery store.
"You ok babe?" You asked giving him a quick kiss as he put the food into the fridge.
"Yeah, are you?" He said his eyebrows raised.
"Still feel a bit sick, must be something I've eaten. Can't think what though."
"We've eaten exactly the same stuff over the last week." He replied smugly. "So I picked you up something from the store."
He put his hand in one of the bags and took out a box and placed it on the kitchen counter.
A pregnancy test.
"Niall........I'm not pregnant. I think I know my body well enough to know that." You said, completely baffled by his assumption.
"Oh yeah, you think? Had your period lately?!"
You cringed at the topic of conversation. You weren't embarrassed to talk about stuff like this with Niall, but it wasn't exactly something you felt needed to be spoken about. Until you did the math in your head and looked up to see his smug face again.
"Fuck, I'm ten days late." You mumbled out.
"I know. I worked it out this morning while I was running on the treadmill."
"You were thinking about my period schedule while on a treadmill?!"
"Was just trying to work out if we'd eaten anything different, went back over each day to try and decide what it could be that made you so sick. Then it dawned on me, that you're late."
"It's probably just the stress of moving into the house and getting everything sorted for it."
You had recently become the proud owners of a beautiful house in a leafy suburb in London. You began discussing moving in together when you were on the world tour last year. You'd been together just a year at that point, but both of you were reluctant to spend the nights apart. Not knowing where your favourite hoodie was and constantly forgetting stuff was getting annoying for you both.
Niall had also surprised you over the holidays by asking you to marry him in front of both your families at his Mum's annual New Year's Eve party. You had been shocked but had instantly said yes, your parents had all known about the proposal as Niall had asked your Dad's permission.
"Go in the downstairs loo and wee on the thing then." He said excitedly.
You hesitated slightly, the box felt heavy in your hand.
"I love you." He whispered, but it did nothing to ease your nerves.
Five minutes later and you sat on the bathroom floor not wanting to look at the little white stick resting on the edge of the sink. The allotted two minutes was definitely up by now, but you were too scared to look at the result.
A knock on the door behind you made you jump in shock. You moved away and opened it, Niall's eyes landed on you sitting on the floor.
"So.....?" He asked.
"I haven't looked."
He knew you were worried. That boy could read you like a book. His face however was pulled into a massive smile as he looked at the leaflet from the box and then checked to see whether the stick had one or two lines.
"It definitely isn't something you ate. We're having a baby!" He said, the excitement evident in his voice and his beaming smile.
"You're not angry or worried about it?!" You blurted out.
"Of course not! I asked you to be my wife less than 6 weeks ago. We have just got a date to move into our dream family home. Yeah, I would've preferred to have gotten married first, but this is happening now for us."
You sat on the floor in complete silence. He had been thinking about a possible pregnancy for the whole morning, you just ten minutes.
He was so happy with the news, the smile however was soon disappearing from his face.
"Why are you not excited?" He asked the worry evident in his voice.
You stood up on your feet and reached out to him. His hands moved to your waist, yours landed on his chest. His eyes were confused you could tell straight away. That was until a smile crept up your face.
"I hope the baby is as beautiful as you." You whispered.
His lips met yours and you grinned and giggled as the excitement took over.
***********
One year later
February 2020
Musician Niall Horan 26, spotted browsing the aisles of his local Waitrose in London today with his cute 5 month old daughter Ava Elizabeth.
Niall Horan was spotted out in the capital today with his daughter. Craddling baby Ava close to his chest as she slept in her baby carrier, he left everyone swooning at the check out as he gently kissed her head while he waited to pay.
The former One Direction star has had an amazing few years since the band went on hiatus at the end of 2016. He spent 2019 writing and releasing his second album that went straight to number one in 44 countries. He and his personal guitar technician, Callie Brown became parents to Ava back in September and were rumoured to have got married over the Christmas holidays in his native Mullingar. Niall was spotted with a white gold wedding band on his finger as he picked up supplies for the family.
The couple who have been together for two and a half years are often spotted together out in London or near their other home in L.A. They were first linked when they were spotted sightseeing in New York back in October of 2017.
Niall, who never normally confirms anything regarding his dating life, has relaxed that a lot in the last few years. Callie had appeared in numerous posts on his social media and they've walked the red carpet together a few times. Most recently when he attended the American Music Awards in L.A back in November, where he picked up 2 awards.
Callie looked stunning in a long black strapless dress just two months after the birth of Ava. Niall looked lovingly at his fiancee and the mother of his child as they posed for pictures and were interviewed.
Seems he's come along way since his brief relationship with Victoria Secret Model Saskia Jones. A source close to Saskia said that she had become tired of Niall's fear of commitment, so had ended things with him. Seems unlikely now that was the reason for their break up, considering his current relationship status.
Maybe the rumours of her being a nasty piece of work are true. A news article published in May of last year described Saskia's strange behaviour when Jasper Littlewood ended their short lived romance. He reportedly had to ban her from the E News studios after she turned up very single day.
Everyone in the industry knows how humble and down to earth Niall Horan is. No one has a bad word to say against him and his wife Callie. His fans absolutely adore her, describing her as the best thing that has ever happened to him.
It would seem that she, along with their daughter Ava, are the best thing to ever happen to him. Niall was recently interviewed by Radio One DJ Greg James about his up coming world tour, which kicks off in two weeks. When asked if he was planning on having Callie as his guitar technician still and if she would be accompanying him with their young daughter on tour he said,"I don't go anywhere without my girls."
Anyone else swooning?
I know I am!

Valentine's Day Cocktails - Romantic Drinks & Love Potions
Tumblr media
What's The Most Romantic Drink For Valentine's Day?
That depends on your Valentine and what you're both in the mood for. Champagne and wine paired with chocolate and strawberries are some of Cupid's classic choices as amorous aphrodisiacs for V Day. However, the names, colors and/or ingredients in the collection of romantic drinks listed below make all these love potions potations great choices as Valentine's Day themed cocktails too.
Valentine's Day Cocktail Ideas
Affinity - [uh-fin-i-tee] A natural liking or attraction to someone which may have already, or will, result in falling in love and getting married to that person. That textbook dictionary definition is synonymous with Valentine's Day couples subject to Cupid's arrow. The modern version of this cocktail is a marriage of French and Italian vermouths to scotch whisky dashed with bitters. How sweet it is.
Barbara - This decadent dessert drink is a creamy, chocolaty cocktail mixed with vodka, white creme de cacao and cream.
Bellini - Is your Valentine as pretty as a peach? Then complement her beauty with this brunch favorite made with peach puree and Prosecco Italian sparkling wine.
Between The Sheets - This sensually suggestive sip is a Sidecar for sweethearts with equal parts rum, brandy, orange liqueur and lemon juice.
Cherry Blossom - The bright red from grenadine's pomegranate syrup and the brandied cherries form a flowering beverage blooming in crimson color for passionate picnicking under the celebrated Japanese tree.
Cupid Cocktail - Named after the Roman mythological god of desire, attraction and affection, this erotic love potion is a Sherry Flip spiced with red hot cayenne pepper instead of nutmeg.
Jayne Mansfield - This blonde bombshell was the February 1955 Playboy Playmate of the Month and her signature drink combines rum with strawberries and champagne. Just add a gift box of milk chocolates for a taste trifecta.
Love Potion #9 - You'd think that when you heard the Clovers sing about Madam Rue bottling this drink in her sink that some bathtub gin would be portioned into her potion. That's not the case though. There are so many to choose from that it's hard to decide, but a few of the formulas we love feature vodka and peach schnapps with either blood orange or pink grapefruit juice. Suggest you pour your favorite in a ratio of 3:1:3 and garnish with a strawberry for sip starters.
Niagara Falls - Are you proposing marriage on Valentine's Day? Then raise a toast to your bride to be with this drink. It honors the collective name for the three waterfalls that border the United States and Canada between the province of Ontario and the state of New York, one of which is Bridal Veil Falls. Made with vodka, orange liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup and ginger ale, this misty mixer will shower her with additional tears of joy after you've popped the question.
Old Fashioned - If you love old fashioned romance and courting then you should value this drink as part of your date night with your valentine.
Poinsettia - The combination of orange liqueur, cranberry juice and champagne are a perfect pairing for passion. Why would you leave this red cocktail only on your list of Christmas holiday drinks?
Rose - “What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet...” ~ Juliet, in reference to Romeo's house, Montague. Along with hearts, cupid, lovebirds, doves, love knots, laces and more, roses are a popular Valentine's Day symbol which you can include as flowing flowers with these romantic recipes.
Valentino - Although it sounds like its related to Valentine's Day, this cocktail actually honors Rudolph Valentino, the Italian born silent film star known as the Latin Lover. However, the Campari in this Negroni variation gives this modern classic its bittersweet flavor and ruby red color which paired with the actor's on screen reputation is perfect for the occasion. The Americano which is minus the gin with a splash of club soda is a lighter version of the two.
What Valentine's Day drink does your sweetheart love?

The Finest Alcohol Gifts for Christmas 2022
We celebrate Christmas by spending time with our families and friends. It is likely that you have already begun shopping for Christmas gifts for your loved ones. Giving a gift to someone who loves alcohol can, however, be a bit tricky and confusing. Sendgifts has handpicked the best Christmas alcohol gifts that could make your loved ones' day.
Chambord is certainly worth trying at least once in your life if you're an alcohol lover. An exceptional taste will delight you immediately when you try this black raspberry liqueur. It would also make a delicious cocktail when mixed with Prosecco.
There are plenty of cool boozy alcohol gifts at Sendgifts that will certainly please their taste buds. Sendgifts also provides fast liquor delivery in the United States. And what's the best part about giving alcohol gifts for Christmas? You might even be able to taste it for yourself. Cheers to that!
 Best Alcohol Gifts for Christmas
Limoncello
Among the many delicious liquor products, Limoncello is also an excellent alcohol gift for those who love to play festive drinking games. Also, it is an excellent digestif after a Christmas meal.
Limoncello liqueur (also called "lemoncello") is made by soaking lemon zests in neutral grain alcohol for a month or more. This results in a thick, sweet dessert cordial with a strong lemon flavor. In addition to being an Italian liqueur, it is also produced in other countries, including the United States.
Tasting Notes: Limoncello is a very sweet liqueur with an intense flavor of lemons. It lacks the tartness of lemon juice and is more like a spiked, highly-concentrated, citrus-flavored syrup that's very delicious.
Limoncello is best stored in the freezer and also makes a delicious topping for ice cream. Its sweet, citrusy flavor makes limoncello a delicious cocktail ingredient, or it can also be served on its own as dessert.
 Jack Daniels
The world's most famous liquor product, Jack Daniels, is a favorite drink of many of us.
Over the last 150 years, Jack Daniels has become one of the most recognized whiskey brands in the world. As a result of their reputation for quality, they have become a household name around the world. It's no wonder Jack Daniel's Whiskey remains the top-selling whiskey brand year after year.
Tasting Notes: Jack Daniels whiskey has a smokey aroma with hints of caramel and vanilla, with some also reporting notes of butterscotch and toffee. It goes down smooth as silk, leaving a trail of short-lived fire before filling you with warmth. It finishes smooth, the flames dying off to a pleasant tingle and a desire for another sip.
If you prefer your whiskey hidden in cocktails, Jack Daniel’s whiskey goes well in everything from traditional Lynchburg Lemonade to tropical concoctions and everything in-between. If you prefer to keep things straight, you can choose from a number of in-house options like the storied and mysteriously-named “Old No. 7” to “Gentleman Jack”, No. 7’s more refined big brother.
 The Famous Grouse
This liquor product is a blend of Scotch Whiskey and it is delicious. If your friends or loved ones enjoy blended Scotch, then The Famous Grouse Whiskey would be an excellent whiskey gift.
Matthew first created The Famous Grouse brand in 1896. Back then, however, The Famous Grouse was just named “The Grouse.” As the brand gained popularity and was enjoyed by more and more consumers, Matthew began referring to the Scotch as “famous.”
Tasting Notes: Without water, the Famous Grouse palate has some honey, oak and some gentle spice. When you add water, there are bits of sweet butter shortbread and rich malt mixed with spices and floral notes.
 Smirnoff Vodka
Making Christmas cocktails with Smirnoff Vodka is arguably the best option. This drink will certainly please your loved ones. Due to its variety of palates, you can also save the drink for later use, maybe for New Year's Eve.
Smirnoff is the most awarded brand of vodka in the world, with an unmatched heritage and quality sold in over 130 countries. Using a blend of different grains, it is triple distilled and filtered ten times through seven columns of environmental-friendly charcoal. Whether it's just an everyday drink or a celebratory toast, Smirnoff vodka is the perfect base for any cocktail.
Tasting Notes: The original Smirnoff Ice premium flavor has a sour and tangy flavor with a sweet aftertaste derived from the malt in the beverage. However, not all flavors are sweet but all flavors do have a subtle sweetness.
 Gordon’s Gin
Only the manufacturers know the recipe for this incredible drink - this alone makes it special. Offering your friends Gordons Gin will definitely make their day fun and entertaining.
Gordon's is a London dry gin brand founded in 1769. Gordon’s has the largest markets in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Greece. It is owned by the British spirits company Diageo. It is one of the best-selling gins in the world.
Tasting Notes: Sweet notes of juniper, a little lemon zest, hints of soft sweetness and fresh herbs. Palate: Very clean, dry juniper delivery, develops with lemon and other citrus notes - zesty. Finish: A simple, medium-length finish.

How to Choose Gift Hampers - Foodcloud
Gourmet Food Hampers can make a great gift, and they are a great way to personalise them. While customising a hamper requires more effort than buying a ready-wrapped hamper, you can make the gift more meaningful. To narrow down your choices, select a theme. For example, a baby hamper is quite different from a wedding hamper. Similarly, a food theme can reflect the recipient's favorite foods or interests.
 One of the most popular combinations is cheese and wine. It has been scientifically proven that cheese and wine pair well. Healthy Diwali Hampers contained cheese and wine, but nowadays, Prosecco has shot to popularity. Often considered the cheaper and younger brother of Champagne, Prosecco is perfect with chocolate truffles. If you're looking for something different, consider a personalized hamper that contains both wine and food. You can always add a personal touch by including some of your own creations.
 Foodies are likely to love food gift hampers items, and supermarkets sell speciality food. Also, you can find great bargains on these gifts by watching out for Christmas specials and taking advantage of them. Gift Hampers don't have to be expensive - a little creativity goes a long way. If you're not sure what to include in your gift hamper, consider the recipient's lifestyle and choose items that will last a long time in their fridge.
Tumblr media
 Christmas corporate gift hampers are a classic gift. They typically contain a variety of food items that are seasonal and edible, such as smoked meats, cheese, and biscuits. Some luxury hampers even include small bottles of wine. They're not just for Christmas, though - they're great gifts for any holiday. You can even purchase a Christmas hamper for someone who lives far away from home. Once you choose a theme, it's time to select a hamper that suits the occasion.
 While traditional gift baskets usually consist of food and snacks, today's Anniversary Gift Hampers can contain specialized items, such as bath and body products. A few gifts include candles, flowers, and loofahs. Depending on the recipient and the occasion, you can also include books or jellies. They'll be delighted to receive such a gift. The possibilities are endless! You can personalize a gift basket to suit anyone's tastes.

THURSDAY NIGHT TASTING 6-8PM:  OUR FRIEND ANTHONY POURS ITALY
The holidays are all about tradition and one of our favorite traditions here at Dandelion is having our friend Anthony come and pour his wines just before Christmas next to the biggest poinsettia he can find and it gets bigger every year! Tonight he will be pouring a few new red wines from Italy and our favorite Prosecco. Come celebrate the holidays with us and see the biggest poinsettia you've ever seen, no joke, it's bigger than our tree. Plus delicious cheese and She-Wolf bread.
SANFELETTO PROSECCO SUPERIORE D.O.C.G. EXTRA DRY
If there was ever a time for bubbles, it's now. Holidays are a time to toast the things we are most grateful for. Like Nick and Nora above, surround yourself with family and friends and colleagues and toast to the good stuff. We have Sanfeletto Prosecco in both the standard 750ml size bottles and Magnums for large gatherings. Nothing says "CELEBRATE" like a Magnum of bubbly. $17/$38
"A true grower prosecco. This DOCG Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry comes from the ridge between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano. Hand-harvested and estate-grown fruit. Minimal use of sulfites, natural fertilizers used. Aromas of green apple, white flowers, wisteria. Good structure, the body is medium, with flavors of apples most predominant as well as peach. Fine acidity, this pairs well with appetizers, light meat dishes, seafood and can even stretch to dessert. The Ceschin family has owned this estate since the beginning of the 20th century. This micro producer makes about 150k bottles per year and is scrupulous about the consistency and quality of his wines."
IL COLOMBAIO CONTESSA AVA CHIANTI 2015
The little Chianti that could. It was love at first sip for us. Elegantly expressive and perfectly balanced. Delicate red fruit and violets a pleasant and smooth finish with a price tag of $14 makes this wine a perfect candidate to buy by the case to have around for all your holiday needs. Unexpected visitors, last-minute gifts, and extra-long dinners requires wine on hand. With a case discount, Contessa Chianti will only cost you $12.60/bottle! Stock up. $14
"Il Colombaio is an historic Tuscan property located near Montereggioni in the province of Siena. The property has historical records dating back to the 1800′s and in 1897 was awarded an honor for its wine. An organic practicing farm, the soils are the famous Chianti "galestro’.  Galestro is the Italian name for a special soil comprised of loose marl and limestone.  The vineyards sit on 15 hectares with the rest of the 70 hectares being planted with many olive trees. "Contessa Ava" 100% Sangiovese, is decidedly innovative, thanks to a particular maceration process that extracts the unmistakable fruity aroma, guaranteeing an extraordinarily smooth taste and volume."
BRICCO MAIOLICA BARBERA D'ALBA 2014
Dare I say "old-school" Barbera? A very pretty ruby red and a very juicy wine with currants, blueberries, black cherries, red cherries, plums, and mulberries... It's like a festive fruit basket full of berries but better because it's wine. The velvety texture and juicy character make this a great bottle to drink with or without food. Perhaps predictable, but pizza or a cheese board with salami and olives come to mind. Entertaining doesn't have to be complicated. But it does require wine! Easy pleasy at $18
BRICCO MAIOLICA NEBBIOLO D'ALBA 'CUMOT' 2012
We may have more Nebbiolo in this store than we ever have. So many to choose from, whether hailing from Barolo, Barbaresco, Langhe, Valtellina, and most recently, this multiple Tre Bicchieri winning Nebbiolo from Alba... we love Nebbiolo. From the same 4th generation family-owned estate as the Barbara; Bricco Maiolica. This Nebbiolo is aged 18 months in French oak barrels, and then bottle aged for another few, it is ready to drink now and shows complexities like dried fig, plum, licorice, vanilla, earth. It's nice to have a wine that you can pop and pour and get the benefits of some age. Calling all Barolo-lovers! $47

Top Ten Bajan Christmas Gifts 2017
Tumblr media
I know you’ve been sitting on the edge of your seat and I’m sure you’re gonna love the gifts on this year’s list of Bajan products. Sure, you could buy anything that’s imported but there’s something so special about getting a gift that was made right here in Barbados. Let’s get right into it then.
10. Sophisticated Centrepiece - Jalans Creations - One of the most important parts of the Christmas celebration in Barbados and around the world is having Christmas lunch with the family. Perhaps one of the most underestimated but memorable elements of this feast is the centrepiece, so why not give the gift of decor this Christmas? Whether you have a complete tablescape planned or you prefer the minimalist approach, your centrepiece will be a focal point at the dinner table. Before I go any further, you need to know that Bajans are veryyy crtitical. They will have no problem telling people that your table “had look pop down” or “stink”. Five years from now I guarantee they will still be talking about it. That’s why I was so relieved to stumble upon this Blue Bouquet by Lana Nurse, founder of Jalan’s Creations. I kind of wish I could have one in every room. It makes me feel like I was spirited away to a fairytale sprinkled with magic dust. Just gorgeous! If you want one you better hurry though because Lana tells me you have til December 21st to place your order.
Tumblr media
9. Vegan Cork Bags - Ole Luck - Guys, cork bags are a thing now and they look so cool. I have to admit, this was the first time I ever heard of Vegan bags. Accessories can be vegan now? I couldn’t help but wonder how they taste. Now before we start chowing down, I want you to rest assured that buying a woman a bag for Christmas is always a good idea. Still, what makes these bags so special are the fact that they’re environmentally responsible. No harmful plastics and for the animal lovers among us, no leather. Don’t ask me how, but a guy by the name of Andy makes all these gorgeous bags by hand. If you’re feeling really patriotic, you can get a wristlet with 246 or the broken trident on it, but I fell in love with the Wayuu purse. The Wayuu are indigenous people living in Colombia and Northwest Venezuela, described as the people of the sun, sand and wind. Wayuu women make a specific type of woven bag with unique vibrant patterns reflected in the sash on these Ole Luck beauties. Fun fact: The Wayuu language, which is called Wayuuniki, is part of the Arawak family.
Tumblr media
8. Crocheted Bikini - Chain Loops Crochet - My gawd! What can I say about this talented diva? Owner Jessica Martindale creates customized fashion and soft home furnishings, while crocheting her way into your heart. Now the first time I saw her crocheted bikinis I knew I had to have one of her pieces. I ordered two. Forget your grandmother’s doilies. Jessica designs one-of-a-kind crocheted jumpers, skirts, dresses, chic baby blankets, earrings and even slippers. Yes, you heard me. She crochets frikkin slippers. But back to this sexy bikini tho. I’m not even telling you to buy this for someone else. This thing will make your life ten times sexier. You worked hard all year so you best believe you deserve it. Yasss!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7. Gold glitter Barbados Throw Pillow - ChicFit Inc - This cute little cushion stopped me right in my tracks. This ain't no run-of-the-mill throw pillow. You can decorate any space with it, no matter the colour scheme. Classy level 1000! Listen to me. ChicFit is not messing around. They put a dang Barbados map on a black pillow and glitterized it in gold. What the what?! This throw cushion will change your life so you're welcome. Just gaze upon its glory. Also, can I just say how much I love ChicFit's logo? It speaks to me. It says “I love yoga times infinity”... or someting* so.
Tumblr media
6. Deck The Halls - Classy Raggs Interiors - You have no idea what this means but you will. The brainchild of Ana Gill, Classy Raggs will leave you in stitches. If you’ve ever imagined what a home makeover should look like, then Ana should have her own TV show. Her work is phenomenal. She creates bespoke furniture, soft furnishings, you name it, she can bring your dream to life. Just look at what she did to this yacht! Yachtastic!
Tumblr media
5. Smell My Nuts - West Indian Soap Co. - Not to be left out of the game, there’s definitely something for the guys too. As gross as it sounds, this was one of the most hilarious Christmas gifts I’ve stumbled upon thus far. There’s Man Soap, Man Wash and Man Lotion. Your man does not need another tie. Stop it. He wants you to get creative and think outside the box. Get him a gift that’s both playful and practical. Go ahead!  Smell deez nuts... coconuts, that is ;)
Tumblr media
4. A Pinterest Box - HomeMade Luxe - If you’re heavily into DIY and crafting or you’re all thumbs like me and need detailed instructions to make anything, then this is the gift for you or someone you know. Former Barbados athlete Keitha Moseley-Dendy, The Bajan Texan, as she calls herself, started this business from a simple idea to bring Pinterest into real life. Stop pinning and start crafting, folks. Take all those cute projects you love online and decorate every room in your house with them. Brilliant idea! One might wonder where the mother of twin girls could possibly find the time but she spent many nights on her living room floor packing hundreds of boxes to keep her customers happy. That type of sweat equity deserves some kind of award. Now that HomeMade Luxe is finally available in Barbados, don’t lag!* In minutes you can have the sexiest pinned projects in your home. This month’s box is a Starburst Mirror. Who doesn’t love a gift that is both fun and functional? Shoot, you could even get some friends together and throw a Pinning Party.
Tumblr media
3. Pillowgrams - Simmone Thorpe started thinking the other day about how wasteful cards are. To be honest, I never really know what to do after I read a card someone has given me. It’s so pretty I can’t bear to throw it away but I can’t really hang it up either so it invariably gets shoved down in a drawer somewhere, only to be found months later. You can’t enjoy the beauty of a greeting card from inside a drawer. Simmone wanted to find a way to make the memory last in a way that’s visible and functional. That’s how the Say it With a Pillowgram message pillow was born. This gift can be cute, funny, inspirational, sentimental, you can even add a photo of you and your loved one to create a wonderful keepsake. Pelt* a few of these customizable throw pillows into the mix to enhance your decor. Ladies, don’t we always try to stop at two and end up buying six?
Tumblr media
2. Galaxy Eyeshadow - Fenty Beauty - This one was tough, I put this at the top of my personal Christmas Gift List because Rihanna. Seriously, though, what girl on earth doesn’t want eyeshadow that shines like diamonds and reflects all the colours of the milky way? I want my face to sparkle like the night sky too. Basically giving any gift from the Fenty Beauty line would make any woman in the world scream, from Match Stix to lip gloss to Trophy Wife highlighter. I’m dreaming of a glitter eyeshadow Christmas.
1. But First... Prosecco - West Indian Soap Co. - Start clutching your pearls ladies because this next gift will change your life. You know that moment when you never thought something was even possible and then all of a sudden Jesus and the whole universe answered your silent, unspoken prayers? This is basically what the But First Prosecco line of decadence is all about. Drowning your sorrows takes on a whole new meaning when you can literally bathe in your favourite sparkling wine. Cleopatra bathed in milk so the mere thought of bathing in Prosecco and smelling like it just tickles me pink. I can’t wait to be drenched in Prosecco.
Tumblr media
Stay tuned for full features of some of these wonderful Bajan businesses. Big shoutout to the members of Women Making Money Work ladies networking group.
Bonus* 
Bajan Glossary
If you’re not a Bajan here’s a key to the terms you need to know.
Had look pop down/ had look stink: This means that whatever you were talking about looked terrible, not just bad. Basically pop down and stink are interchangeable.
Someting: This means something. Someting so: This means something along those lines.
Don’t lag: This means don’t get caught napping/ don’t delay.
Pelt: This means throw, but forcefully.

It’s The Wine Wankers annual Christmas gift buying guide for the person in your life who drinks wayyyy too much wine. Conrad and I (Drew) hate traditional Christmas gift guides, which is why you’ll find the unconventional, must haves, and freakin expensive #winegiftporn items up for grabs – how can you possibly go wrong?!
And if nothing here grabs your attention, you can check out last year’s here, and 2015’s list here!
Let us know which present you will be pestering your relatives for, in the comment section below.
Giant Prosecco Glass: ever wonder why they didn’t call this the ‘Giant Champagne Glass’? That’s because Champagne drinkers are classy and wouldn’t down 750mls of bubbles in 15 minutes – or would they? Buy it here. (£14.99)
Prosecco Pong – because playing Beer Pong is what you did in College.  You’re all grown up and classy now – but not ‘Champagne classy’!  Buy it here (£14.99).
ProntoBev:  will genius contraption that looks like a watering can will chill a whole bottle of wine in 30 freakin seconds!  Includes a built-in thermometer that lets you pour out your drink at the desired temperature. The only downside – this is a crowdfunded gadget and is not expected to ship until June 2018. Buy it here (US$99).
Dacor WineStation – if ever there was a ‘shut up and take my money’ wine present for Christmas – this has to be IT!!! This holds four bottles of wine and will keep them fresh for up to 60 days after opening. Furthermore, the wine gets dispensed at exactly the recommended temperature for the wine variety you are serving, AND, you can nominate how big you want the serving size – taste, half or full glass of wine. Yes this costs over $5,000 – but it’s Christmas! So it’s basically a bargain! If Dacor is reading this – can we pretty please have one!!  😉 Buy it here (US $5,649).
Winelover’s T Shirt: Unleash your inner pole dancing unicorn – buy it here (US24.95).
Unicorn Wine Holder – OK – did I miss a trend alert or something about mixing unicorns with wine?! It’s called the Wine Of Sacred Purity Unicorn Wine Holder. Whatever, I love it and this wins my Bargain Christmas Present of 2017 Award! Buy it here (US$19.95).
  Wine Beanie Bottle Stoppers: NO! These are not ribbed condoms sitting atop your bottle of wine. These are bottle stoppers in the shape of beanies, and they’re a perfect stuffing stocker for your aunt! Buy it here. (£7.50)
Mulled wine bikini wax: Here’s one for the hard to please ladies who love silky smooth, hairless legs! Why not buy her an appointment to have her legs taken care of with a mulled wine bikini wax. Infused with the festive scent of red wine, orange, cloves and cinnamon, the professionals say it has been developed specifically for wax virgins. Alongside the booze-themed ingredients, the wax also contains chamomile and aloe vera to calm and soothe sensitive skin. Buy it here. (from £19)
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
The world’s biggest wine glass? If your New Year’s Resolution involves reluctantly cutting back your wine intake to one glass a day – you probably shouldn’t be buying this! Costco is selling what is arguably the world’s largest wine glass.  It holds 25 x 750ml bottles of the good stuff. Buy it here (£59.98).
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Wine fuelled Advent Calendars: These two boozy Christmas countdowns from ALDI and Iceland supermarkets contain 24 x mini bottles of red, white, rose and fizz, with everything from Merlot to Chablis. Both advent calendars total the equivalent of six full bottles. Buy it here (£ 49.99) and buy it here (£ 39.99).
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Champagne cork stool: Nothing expresses your love for the good stuff more than a solid brass, hand made stool (or side table) in the shape of a Champagne cork. I first discovered these in the guest house of revered Champagne producer Jacques Selosse -and have wanted a pair ever since. After much online research, i finally found where you can buy them. Also available in shiny black. Buy it here (£450).
We fell in love with the gold Champagne cork seat at Domaine Jacques Selosse, the region's most iconic Grower Champenoise. Do you like?! #Drew #wine #wwontour #selosse #wwchampagnetrip #champagne @champagnebureauaustralia @champagne #winelover
A post shared by The Wine Wankers (@winewankers) on Sep 28, 2015 at 10:19pm PDT
  Australian Gin Advent Calendar – last year we got excited because Aldi released a beer advent calendar for Christmas. This year, Australian craft gin is being put front and centre and we couldn’t be happier. You’ll get 24 x 50ml bottles of deluxe gin from Down Under’s best producers, who are renowned for using crazy native botanicals and everything in between. On top of this, there are tasting notes from the producers, a guide to making that perfect gin cocktail by The Martini Whisperer and a valuable surprise Christmas present. Buy it here (A$295).
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Wine bottle sweaters: If your family loves wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, then you’re gonna love these wine bottle sweaters.  Buy it here ($9.99)
Champagne Emergency Delivery Service: We love anything that combines the word ‘Champagne’ and ‘Emergency’ in the same sentence. Champagne suppliers The Finest Bubble have teamed up with London’s bicycle and motorcyle courier companies to offer consumers a two hour champagne emergency service this Christmas. With a choice of over 300 champagnes, this is the ideal service when you forget to buy someone a present and you need one delivered PRONTO! Buy it here.
Booze filled Christmas ornaments: FFS – what will they think of next. It’s a good thing they didn’t have these back in the 80’s, because I would’ve had a very different childhood (OK, maybe not that different, but more merry on December 25). But I digress. If the idea of having gin, whiskey and vodka filled Christmas decorations sets your tree on fire, you need this gift. Buy them here (£35.00).
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Chocolate wine: Yes, you heard me correctly. In 2017, Santa Claus will be bringing a delicious blend of fortified tempranillo wine influenced by chocolate essence. I haven’t tried it, but you know your Nan will love the flavours of velvety, smooth dark chocolate, which are complemented by rich, puckering fruit and hints of dried fig.  Buy it here (£9.99).
The 16 best Christmas gifts for wine lovers in 2017 It's The Wine Wankers annual Christmas gift buying guide for the person in your life who drinks wayyyy too much wine.

The Ultimate Christmas Wish List for Girls 
We all look at the ‘wish lists’ in magazines that appear around Christmas time… but do you think ‘those are just too expensive’ or ‘that’s just not very different’?  This sparked a thought about creating the very Ultimate Girls’ Christmas Wish List using all the local knowledge from the girls (and guys) in our Move Revolution offices throughout Surrey, Sussex and Kent!
We decided that everything on our list needed to be local. Either produced by someone local, or stocked by someone local.  So that we could get all the benefits of a ‘quick shop’ and still support an amazing local business.  We love the idea that it would be from an independent shop… being an independent business ourselves we know all the hard work that local independent business invest in their services and products.  Having started with one office in Nutfield, Surrey which covers the Reigate, Redhill, Horley and Oxted area we now have 7 offices��� it has been hard work… loads of dedication and most importantly a real love for what we do. We decided local and independent were the most important.
This is our 2017 gorgeous sparkly list – get ready to buy all the things for yourself (or share this with your partner with a big hint!!)

We always need flowers….it is very hard to find a gorgeous (and unusual) bouquet or Christmas arrangement.  The wonderful Ivy Florence in Lingfield is the answer!  Her stunning artisan bouquets are well priced and guaranteed to deliver a smile from any girl!
Wonderful flower gifts 
(6) Pop the cork! Who can resist a glass of bubbles!
We have all been addicted to Prosecco – just take a look at this Sparkling Wine, it gets the most incredible reviews 
 “My first ever tasting note for this wine simply said, ‘stunning’.  Made from 45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier, this is a superbly stylish wine which will impress even the most ardent of Champagne stuck-in-the-muds”
Matthew Jukes (regarded as one of the world’s leading wine experts)
This sparkling wine is highly regarded….
“Without doubt, our sparkling wine does have similarities to that produced in the Champagne region.  We use the same grape varieties, vine clones and complex bottle fermentation process, so a likeness is perhaps inevitable.
However, take a minute, and you start to notice the differences: the balance of fruit and yeasty characteristics on the nose; the complexity and depth on the palate; and the long straight finish all combine to give a distinct flavour that is very much unique to Squerryes”
Wonderful bubbles
7)  There has to be chocolates on our ultimate gift list!
Monty Bojangles is a huge favourite of Louise Simpson’s, who adores the Milky Mischief and Popcorn Carousel truffles. She also recommends the Truffle Hamper for Truffle Lovers which sounds amazing! The Reigate Truffle Bar is a great place to stop off and trial a few different flavours before buying a box or two…or three!
  8) A Spa Day ….every girls idea of a wonderful present
We chatted about this at length (!) and all the Move Revolution girls agreed that The Alexander House Hotel in Turners Hill was the most wonderful place to spend a spa day. Marie Claire (the magazine) reviewed the hotel and their Utopia Spa earlier in the year with a glowing recommendation….
“The food is exceptional but the unique spa menu and facilities will be what you’ll write home about. The Utopia Spa is like an underground cocoon of calm, part mock-Grecian marble columns, part sleek, blue-black tiling. There’s a hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam as well as swimming pool. If you’re brave enough in winter, there’s also a Scandi-style outdoor hot tub in the Zen garden”  To read more click here…
  9)  The Ultimate ‘Going Out Out Package’ with Time Hair & Beauty

If you are not sure what to choose… Kat has created a ‘Going Out Out Package’ £100 – what a wonderful treat for any girl!
