The Playful Indian - Greeting cards with a Desi twist.

May I just say, before this company even got in touch with me, I was already in love with a couple of their designs which had been flying around all over the internet.

The Playful Indian was originally called "Wild Clove." They are a small independent company based in Leicester who design greetings cards with a "Desi" twist. 
When you claim something is "Desi" it usually means that it is of an Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi descent. So a lot of the pictures and phrasing are from these countries.
These greeting cards are becoming ever so popular in the UK, America and even India. 

They are reasonably priced, bright, and very unique. The best thing is that you can order them online, so do have a look on the website. I have left the link below.
The company also design Clothing, Homeware and Accessories. I have one of their Tote bags which I absolutely love.


Do check the link out and show some love to the official Instagram page ' the playful indian' 
P.S. I will be giving these away in my Bloggerversary giveaway .. stay tuned! =)

Oh. & before I forget.. If you fancy 10% off, use the discount code "unleeshd" on the Playful Indian website :)

Valentine's Day - Gift Ideas.


Hey my beauties! YES! It's that time of year again. Valentine's should be everyday if you're in a relationship and it shouldn't take a commercialised day to prove your love for one another. However, it is nice to go out for dinner and recieve/give a little present.

I've got a few idea's for great gifts.

1. Tom Ford Lipsticks - Lads, if your partner loves beauty/fashion, This is a perfect little gift for her. They do the most beautiful shades. Violet Fatale (Below)
£36 from Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Harrods.

2. Flowers - Don't for a second think flowers are overrated. I think simple things like a beautiful bunch of flowers are enough to uplift anyone's mood.
                             
 3. Cupcake Bouquets - I think this is a brilliant idea. Only because I have the biggest sweet tooth of all but if you don't want to give a standard bouquet of flowers, go for a cupcake bouquet. This bouquet was made by Etam 

Everyone knows how much of a cake lover I am, I've bought cupcakes from Etam a number of times.. stunning!



4. Photos - Something as simple as a framed photo of you both is such a cute and sentimental gift. If you have a bunch of photos, make a scrapbook.


5. Cook them a 3 course meal - Look through a bunch of recipe books or if you know what their favourite meal is, attempt to cook it ha! 
Candles on, dress up, open a bottle of wine/champagne. Gorgeous.



Some of these gift ideas can be used for your men too!

Love Can Touch Us One Time & Last For a Lifetime..

Welcome to my 3rd and FINAL Valentine's post :) I didn't get a chance to do this last year as I started my blog on Feb 26th 2011, Can't believe it's been nearly a year since I started "UnLeeshd" Best thing I ever done.

For my last post I thought i'd share some of my favo LOVE songs of all time :)
I have so many! Trying to condense these down has been a mission and a half.



10. Eternal - Angel of Mine

This song brings back memories from my childhood. My dad bought me this album when I was a kid. I have it in my collection now, this song is so sweet.

10. Angel of Mine

9. Backstreet Boys - All I Have to Give

"I don't have a fancy car.. to get to you i'd walk a thousand miles..!" Ahhh that line gets me everytime :) I'm seeing these boys in April, this is my favourite BSB song ever, I hope they sing it *major goosebumps*

8. Brian McKnight - Back at One

Did any of you watch "My Wife & Kids" as a teen? I swore by that show, I've loved this song ever since "Michael & Jay" had him sing at their wedding. His voice is so beautiful.



7. Robin Thicke - Lost Without U

Possibly one of the most SEXIEST tunes ever? Enough said.

6. Celine Dion - The Power of Love
There are so many covers of this song, but I bloody love this one. Classic. I've grown up listening to Celine Dion, my Mum is an absolute fan, So she HAD to be in my Top 10!
