Cath Kidston set up her first shop in 1993 selling vintage wallpaper and fabrics. Just over 16 years later and her empire spans to include everything from door stops to women’s clothing.

Now you can buy her adorable items with up to 50% off.

They make the perfect gifts…or perhaps little presents to yourself!

I love all of her homewares – what about these rose padded hangers, so sweet and now £7 for 3.

I popped along to Fortnum & Mason’s the other day with the simple idea of grabbing some fancy tea for a friend of mine’s birthday dinner party. I was after something small yet fun. However, what I found was so exceptional that I feel I must share my good fortune.

It turns out that Fortnum’s – the Royal-warrant holding department store – sells more than just their world-renowned hampers and tea. They sell biscuits! In fact, they sell musical biscuits!

£11.95 will afford you a “Musical Birthday Biscuit Tin” in either blue for a boy or pink for a girl. It has a little winder-up on the bottom, and give it just a few turns and it will ping out the sweetest tune of happy birthday you have ever heard. It had all my friends clapping in delight, even the boys! Plus, you also get some incredibly yummy shortbread, lemon curd and chocolate pearl biscuits.

PS. Don’t worry if you can’t make it to the store in person, you can order online using the following links:

Holidays from just £170 per person.

Shame I’ve already booked my holiday. I do love getaways, perhaps I’ll just take another one…

Plus this is just the beginning, if their test goes well expect many more ranges from electricals to DVDs to be on the site soon.

Visit the outlet here.

The store, simply named 4 U Flowers is next to the impressive wedge-shaped building that is a bustling Patisserie Valerie, full of croissant-lovers like Crunchyprices web designer Tom. Everyday, 4 U Flowers sets out an enticing floral display outside the store for the office workers pouring out for lunch from nearby Allen & Overy and RBS.

Inside, the store is crammed with beautiful, whimsical gifts and objects for the kitchen and garden.

You can pick up something really pretty and at a decent price to spruce up the home for summer. I found a nice embroidered hotwater bottle cover. My mum is a fan of this store too!

At the moment Tesco are offering first timers £10 off their online shop, which is certainly a deal worth taking advantage of.

Simply enter the code XXSTORE when you visit the check out.

Note – you do have to spend £50 or more to qualify

Valid all the way until the 30th September 2010.

Happy Crunching!

The place to visit is Criterion Auctions.

They have auctions every Monday at 5pm at two locations in London: One in Islington and one near Clapham Junction. Previews are on Friday afternoons and all day Saturday and Sunday 10am -6pm.

We visited their Clapham showroom/auction house. They sell everything from paintings to rugs to dining tables to beautiful chiffoniers with prices ranging from £20 to £2000. Things are often much cheaper than even Ikea and much nicer – you can pick up mahogany dining tables for as little as £80 or sets of chairs for £10 each.

Also, don’t worry if you can’t make it on Monday, you can commission bid by phone or you can write a bid on paper if you visit the showroom (as I did).

You can also check out their catalogue online- but I really wouldn’t recommend bidding based solely on looking at those pictures, it is amazing how different some of the things look in the flesh. Just pop along to one of the preview days – they have plenty of parking.

Happy Crunching!
