Patriotic

Going For Gold

In honour of the glorious games, for the next two weeks The Amazing Blog will be showcasing the best in health and fitness, and we've even got a fabulous competition for you next week! But a great British event wouldn't be the same without some novelty items, so have a browse through these patriotic themed items to get you in the Team GB spirit! First up we have for you the Heyland and Whittle Hope & Glory Reed Diffuser. One of the more subtle but definitely longer lasting ways to show your patriotism for the Olympic games, Heyland and Whittle's Hope & Glory range is sure to have something to suit your home. The diffusers have a Lemongrass scent and are available from their website for £22.00.

 

With all the fittest athletes in the world congregating in London over the next two weeks, you can be sure that they're all getting their share of H2O, and what better way to hydrate yourself than with a brilliant Water Bobble.

The British Bobble is available at Selfridges for £10.95.
