I've wanted to learn how to make twine hangers for my indoor plants for ages, but never got around to doing it! Luckily I came across this simple and stylish method from Lovely Indeed which explains how to make your own hangers in literally a few minutes!



Now all I need to do is upgrade my plant pots to terracotta ones =)

Had enough of only getting bills and junk mail through the post? Well, here's a great idea for you: how about receiving a monthly surprise present just for you (or delivered to someone special), beautifully packaged and hand-selected by a designer with exquisite taste?

Not Another Bill is a fantastic concept designed to free you from the monotony of receiving only unpleasantness in the post. Become a subscriber (or simply pay for a month at a time) to have a hand-selected curiosity delivered to your door.

Admittedly, this is not a cheap service - the cost for British subscribers is currently £17 per month (including delivery), £45 for a three month subscription and greater savings when you choose 6 or 12 month subscriptions. However, the gifts themselves are absolutely lovely. 

I had my first 'present' delivered a few days ago - a Paperco DIY model of a space shuttle, exquisitely packaged with a personalised note. Personally, I love it, though I should say right away that I chose to subscribe as a "man" since I have a penchant for stationary, antique maps and prints which are the type of gift generally sent to the men subscribing to the service.

Ladies, on the other hand, will likely receive something beautiful to use or wear, such as the limited edition Chip Fork pendant from Orla Kierly or a hand-dyed silk scarf. Couples can also subscribe to receive designer homewares. My favourite past-present so far has got to be the Pocket Sundial (pictured above). How lovely it must have been to open such a gorgeous unexpected gift for those who had subscribed last month!

Owned and run by designer, Jed ??, the site has been running for about two years and brings smiles to subscribers from all over the world. I'd emailed Jed prior to subscribing and am very happy to say that he is able to cater to individual tastes in selecting gifts to send out, as well as being a general top bloke =)

If you have a little spare cash this month, why not splash out to receive a surprise gift of your own, or purchase a subscription as a Christmas gift for someone you know? At least, pop over to check out the site and past presents for yourself - it really is a treat, even for window shoppers!

It's October 1st and I've officially begun my Christmas shopping and preparations (though in my head I probably started months ago!).

Though it's a little early to begin decorating the house, I've begun making cross stitched decorations, saving every last penny for my gift shopping spree and sourcing recipes for my baking.

For the past few years I've managed to enjoy Christmas on an incredibly frugal budget, and I'd love to share my ideas with others so no-one need dread the prospect of breaking the bank in order to revel in seasonal celebration.

Over the next twelve or so weeks I'll be updating Glamumous with posts labelled "Can't Afford Xmas" in which I'll share the best bargains, Christmas recipes, ideas and traditions which won't break the bank.

Please subscribe (or at least check back periodically) to see what I've found, written or shared. I'd love also to learn of more tips and tricks from frugal Glamumous readers so please feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments (or drop me a line if you like!).

Happy preparations Ladies! Christmas season is on its way!
