What She Wants<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Putting Pen To Paper<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At Elysium Magazine we\u2019ve always acknowledged the power of words. And we\u2019re pretty sure your other half has a powerful vocabulary too. Regardless, there\u2019s nothing more creatively satisfying for her than putting a master plan down on paper \u2013 which is where these slick notebooks from Sloane Stationary come in \u2013 available in a wide range of colours, with an even wider range of cheeky yet subtle slogans on the front.<\/p>\n

Safekeeping Of The Jewels<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably realised by now that your other half tends to have a lot of jewellery, and when not in use it\u2019s liable to be thrown over and around the home rather than back where they should be. Well this silver and black dragon bowl from Elisk\u00e1 <\/b>Design <\/b>poses as the best place to throw the collection into when not in use. And she\u2019ll rest easy in the knowledge that Mr Dragon is standing guard over her prized possessions.<\/p>\n
