How To Get Out Of A Sticky Situation!
As we are all especially busy at this time of the year selecting the perfect gifts for our family and friends I wanted to share a fantastic tip with all of you. Next time you buy (or receive) an item that has a sticky ticket/label attached to it, don't waste time trying to peel it, or soak it , or scratch it off as it probably won't come off in one piece and you'll waste time, get frustrated or even cause some damage. The best thing I've discovered for this is to simply blast the sticky ticket/label with your hairdryer for a few moments. This causes the adhesive at the backof the ticket/label to loosen and then the ticket/label will come off and leave no sticky residue, just make sure tokeep applying heat to it until it comes off easily. Yes it really is that simple and it works!

Tips for choosing a laptop bag!
Here are some tips to consider when buying a laptop bag.
1. Make sure the bag you choose is lightweight: In my search for sylish laptop bags to stock on my website I came across many that were quite heavy even when empty. The average laptop weighs between 2.5 - 3kg so keep this in mind and think about all the other essentials you'll place in your bag which will add to the overall weight. Choose a bag that weighs no more than 1.5kg. The 'Mina' laptop bag is our lightest and only weighs 800g. The 'Sienna' bag weighs the most yet still only weighs 1.3kg.
2. Make sure the bag will protect your laptop: The last thing you want is to damage your laptop, go for waterproof fabrics and padded interiors which will cushion your laptop from impact in the event that you drop the bag.
3. Make sure it has extra compartments: Will you carry just your laptop bag or a handbag also? If you choose to carry only your laptop bag what else will you need to put in it? Does the laptop bag have extra pockets and compartments? The last thing you want is for everything to slide out of your bag when all you want to take out is your laptop. Go for a bag with separate compartments.
4. Make sure the shoulder strap is adjustable: We come in all different shapes and sizes so it's important that you can adjust the strap so that the bag rests comfortably at your side.
I hope this helps you choose a bag that is stylish as well as functional and comfortable.
