Christmas Gift Ideas for Men! – Mam Cymru.
One of the most difficult things for me over the Christmas period is trying to decide what to buy for my Dad and my husband Gareth?! I don’t know why, but I always find it hard to decide what to buy for men, and I’m fed up of buying socks and chocolates (they are probably fed up of receiving them too!). This year, to make life easier for myself, and hopefully for you too, I’ve been in contact with four Welsh companies to ask them for ideas, and I’ve created a shortlist of lovely gift ideas for men. What’s more, all of these have been made in Wales!
Adra was established by Mother of 2, Angharad Gwyn. Her gorgeous new shop is located at Parc Glynllifon near Caernarfon, and to celebrate the company’s 10 year anniversary, she’s just launched a new website!
