Disclosure: I was provided with the following product from NotontheHigh Street.com, at no cost to myself, for review purposes. All opinions expressed are honest and are entirely my own.
With Mother’s Day almost upon us and Father’s Day fast approaching I’m beginning to get in a bit of a panic. Did I mention my anniversary is right smack in between these two holidays? I’m not a big gift giver so this is a very stressful time for me! It doesn’t help that I hate to go out shopping (I know, what woman hates shopping, right?).
I’m really grateful for online sites that specialize in helping me find the perfect gift. I recently checked out a new-to-me site called notonthehighstreet.com. Based in the United Kingdom, and not just for gift seekers, Not on the High Street has a fabulously large selection of unique, meaningful, and downright cool items.
The quote below is from their “about” page. Written as a description of who will appreciate this site, I think it is fairly accurate representation of just exactly what you’ll find on the site:
Notonthehighstreet.com is for people who want to say something unique about themselves, their homes and their friends and families, who think about what they’re buying and why. Whether for a heartfelt marriage proposal, celebrating a new arrival or simply saying thank you to someone who went out of their way to help, they love the idea of finding products and gifts that tell their stories, or even help create them. And, if you’re reading this and find yourself nodding in agreement, it’s for you.
I was invited to pick out an item for review. Excited to find something totally unique, I hopped on the site and browsed through pages upon pages of beautiful, fun, and unique treasures. I mentioned that Notonthehighstreet.com has a “fabulously large” selection. In fact, they have over 50,000 products from over 3,000 small British businesses!
I wanted this, and that, and, oh that one over there too! In the end I just couldn’t make up my mind so I did what any great wife would do. I handed my husband the computer and told him to pick out something he wanted.
After browsing for several minutes he settled on the Casual Rugged Leather Men’s Wallet by Jules Accessories.
He’s purchased his current wallet on our honeymoon almost eight years ago. Though it has held up well, it’s time for a new one.
The wallet arrived in a timely manner–especially considering it had to travel from overseas to get here. We opened it, and it is beautiful. The leather is soft yet sturdy.
Unfortunately, my husband didn’t do his homework before he ordered the wallet. The description of the wallet on the website is perfect. However, we failed to use the measurements given to see if The Husband would like the size of the wallet (his current wallet is just about as small as they come). The wallet is a bi-fold making it just a little bulkier than my husband likes to carry around in his pocket.
The wallet really is beautiful, and though it wasn’t perfect for The Husband, I know of a certain dad who will love it! It will make a wonderful Father’s Day gift in a few weeks.
