It's always nice to hear that someone enjoys reading my blog, so I was thrilled to be contacted by a member of the
dotcomgiftshop team to let me know that The Good Life had been selected as one of their
20 Gorgeous Gardening Blogs.
I was also invited to become a member of their blog network which involves reviewing items they sell on the website. Dotcomgiftshop sells all manner of gifts and things for the home, but as you know, I like to keep this blog devoted to gardening and therefore, it was the gardening section I looked at when making my choice of item to review.
There's four different categories in the garden section, accessories, gifts, decorations and party, with quite a selection of items in each. In the end, I plumped for this
Vegetables Wooden Produce Tray, but there were many other items which caught my eye, so I'm sure I'll be back to purchase some of those in the future.
I was impressed by the delivery timescale. I emailed the team on the Wednesday afternoon to advise them of my choice and the item was delivered on the Saturday morning. It was well packaged, so arrived in perfect condition.
The tray itself is made from wood and seems very sturdy. I thought it would be ideal to carry my harvests home in from the allotment.
There's cut out handles on each side of the tray which will ensure it isn't dropped whilst being carried.
Those pesky beetroot and courgettes, which seem to roll about all over the place, will be kept under control with the lovely deep sides.
Here it is in use, carrying and displaying the latest harvest. The beans, St George runners and Cobra French, are starting to produce more now, and I've dug up the first lot of Anya potatoes. I'll mention them in more detail in a future post. You can see what I did with the blueberries over on my
Through The Keyhole blog.
I will definitely get plenty of use out of this tray. It's ideal for use in the garden, especially if you grow your own veggies.
If you're ever stuck what to buy someone for a present, you should definitely check out dotcomgiftshop, there's gifts for every occasion and lots more besides, do take a look.
I should just mention that the item was sent to me free of charge, but I have not been paid for writing this review.
