The Gift Guide For Him

Buying gifts for guys that they will love doesn’t have to be tough. In fact, more and more these days, buying gifts for guys has become easier, because the males are just as spoilt for choice when it comes to all the great things out there. For this gift guide, I had my hubby help me out a bit, because he’s one of those guy’s that’s really (and I do mean really) difficult to buy for. He’s the type, who when he wants something, before I even get a chance to consider it as a good gift option, he’s already bought it for himself. So what do you get him that he wants and needs, but possibly doesn’t have – or doesn’t think he wants? Well that’s what I’m about to share with you…

I’m sure the guys will agree with me in saying that, today there are so many awesome options when it comes to buying him gifts! No longer do the poor men in our lives need to suffer with undies and socks (although there are really cool socks out there these days). If you want to get him something he will love for Christmas, then this guide is just the one you’ve been looking for. I’ve tried to include the guys-guy, the adventure junkie, the sports fanatic, the tech lover, the guy who loves smelling good, even a little something for the guy who likes to make his own beer!

The Ultimate Gift Guide For The Woman Who Seems To Have It All

I don’t know about you girls, but the older I get the less I want! Is that weird? It’s not that I dont want “stuff”, I do, I just don’t want random stuff that serves no purpose in my life, know what I mean? The funny thing is, more and more women I speak to have said the same thing. They want cool shiz that makes their smiles grow and hearts flutter.

And, don’t worry, I’ve covered various price brackets too, starting from R60!

Shop Online Smarter with MasterPass

With the festive season looming, and chaos levels at malls already on the rise, online shopping for the holidays is looking good! And I found the best way to shop online more efficiently, shop smarter, shop safer and shop with peace of mind thanks to MasterPass. MasterPass is an awesome digital wallet app for your mobile phone. It will save you time and hassle in having to enter your credit or debit card details every time you purchase online (at selected online merchants). You’ll need to register your cards the first time, but these will be saved for future online splurges. Although I know online shopping is pretty safe these days, I still get nervous every time I have to input my credit card details. The mere fact that I have to type these out freaks me out! That’s why I love the MasterPass App, freely available to download from the App Store, Google Play Store, Windows Store or Blackberry World. You can download any bank’s MasterPass App, even if you don’t bank with them. I downloaded the Nedbank MasterPass App, even though I linked my FNB and ABSA cards to my MasterPass App profile. On your app profile you can store a number of credit cards and even debit cards and when you…
