Voucher codes specialist announces results of latest site user survey on love and money

UK citizens often think of themselves as pretty romantic and the latest poll conducted by voucher code website DiscountVouchers.co.uk shows that people still won’t allow money to be a barrier to love and relationships.

Almost 40% of people polled reported that they consider there is “no price on love” when polled about their opinion on how much to pay for an engagement ring. 11% of respondents still maintain that men should pay twice their monthly wage for an engagement ring and the poll showed that a further 30% are prepared to spend up to £500 on the token of love.

When it comes to making a first impression on a potential partner, 75% are happy to go shopping for a new outfit in advance of a first date. The poll also showed that 65% are happy to split a restaurant bill in half and in a bid to appear in control of oneself, 67% would not choose the most expensive dish or item on a menu – even if it might be their favourite food.

In the early stages of a new relationship – the first three months – 57% admit to being taken out to dinner by a new partner while 46% received gifts of flowers. One quarter of people said they had been bought jewellery as a gift by new partners and 20% get spoiled with a luxury weekend away. Just 5% of respondents said that their new other half bought them some new lingerie.

Further on in relationships, the DiscountVouchers.co.uk poll revealed that almost a quarter would ditch a partner if they believed they were stingy with money. However on the flip side there were 37% who felt parsimony wasn’t a factor in their relationship – while the same amount would not break up with a partner even if they came to think that they were somewhat stingy.

The poll also showed new relationships are a pricey business, with 42% prepared to think about an overdraft to make an impression on a new partner.

When it comes to the next stage after an engagement, a huge 94% of people surveyed said that they did not believe the family of the bride need pay all the wedding bills.

Doug Scott, managing director of DiscountVouchers.co.uk, comments: “Our latest poll of site users does reveal that many Brits remain as romantic as ever. Starting out in a new relationship is certainly a pricey business, but we can help people to save money on many things to reduce the costs of courting a new love.”

co-operative Xest Says Essential Regular Exercise Is Accessible To All

Following a recent report by health experts stating that even just 15 minutes of exercise a day can significantly improve your wellbeing and life expectancy, co-operative Xest has spoken out to remind people that exercise is possible for people of all abilities and ages.

The results of research published by medical journal The Lancet, which reviewed the activities, behaviours and health of more than 400,000 people in Taiwan, revealed that 90 minutes of moderate exercise per week can help people to live for three years longer.

Similar data in the British Journal Of Sports Medicine hinted that a lazy lifestyle, including six hours a day sitting motionless in front of the television, can reduce life expectancy by five years.

It is therefore important for people to incorporate exercise into their daily routine wherever and whenever possible – even if it is during that time spent watching television. It is especially vital that those with limited mobility take note of this, as such exercises can also improve problems with circulation and related conditions.

co-operative Xest Managing Director, Andrea Dipple said: “There are numerous exercises that can be done while sitting down, using equipment such as a Seated Pedal Exerciser. This allows the user to secure their feet into pedals and rotate in a cycling action, with variable resistance. Minimal assembly is required and it is easy to move around into convenient places.

“For those at risk or suffering from circulation problems, we recommend the Deep Vein Thrombosis Airogym Exerciser, which has a simple design created by an airline captain for use during long flights. It consists of two air compartments which can be inflated orally and can be used to exercise the calf muscles.”

According to updated advice offered by the UK government, a couple of 10-minute sessions of this kind of activity per day – or a 30-minute session on five days each week – could have a very positive impact on a person’s health. It may also gradually encourage them to be more daring with their exercise regime and build it up as they become stronger.

co-operative Xest also supplies shower seats for those with mobility difficulties, alongside a wide range of other products designed for people who want to make their everyday lives easier.

In order to be ready to enjoy the last of this summer’s sunshine, Capital Gardens have dedicated themselves to providing great deals on garden furniture from some of the country’s best loved designers.

Debenhams Reports Boards Which Protected Looted Shop To Become A National Treasure

Debenhams has announced that hundreds of goodwill messages written on boards covering windows smashed during rioting in Clapham Junction are set to become a national treasure.

Debenhams logo - links to home page

High street store Debenhams has decided that they should be preserved to show how British people rallied around after the unprecedented street disturbances.

It believes the words on the boards make them a valuable piece of history, reminding everyone how local people felt, and that the violence and destruction was the product of a tiny minority.

Said Debenhams Battersea store manager, Neil Roberts: “The generosity of the people of Clapham and Battersea has transformed plain pieces of wood into a testament for our times.

“Their words of support are proof that, in times of adversity, Londoners still have the strength of character to stand up and offer a helping hand.”

So many messages of support were scrawled on the boards covering Debenhams’ ransacked Clapham Junction store that they quickly became a local landmark.

Visitors came from all over London – and even a few from overseas – to see what had been written, and to add a message of their own.

Among the messages were: “We have taken Clapham back. The rioters won’t stop our community”. Others said: “Clapham, we love you. Get well soon”, and “We have lived and loved here for 14 years. How dare you destroy our amazing community”.

So many messages of support were written that they filled every available inch of the boards, each measuring 9ft by 6ft.

Neil Roberts at Debenhams said: “While looting and destruction grabbed the headlines, the voices of ordinary people went virtually unheard.

“These boards, tell us, in their own words, how they felt at that time. They have become priceless pieces of social documentary.

“After the riots, hundreds of local people turned up to sweep away the broken glass and to help us get our store up and running again. We didn’t have to ask. Instead, they came and did all that they could to rebuild their community again.

“These boards record the very essence of that human spirit.”

The boards have now been taken down and are being preserved carefully by Debenhams. Conversations have been taking place to try and find a home for them in a prominent location where the general public can come and view them.

Debenhams Reveals The Long And (Very) Short Of Men’s Swimwear

Debenhams has revealed new research showing the exact age when men can no longer resist the allure of ‘speedos’.

The correlation between the age of a man and his swimwear preference has shown that while board shorts dominate from age 13 and tailored trunks are popular during the late 20s and into the 40s, it is age 55 when men opt for the tiny proportions of swim briefs, says fashion store Debenhams*.

Debenhams logo - links to home page

In fact, the peak is reached at the age of 59, when the length of swimming trunks can reach as little as just two inches (fabric measured down the hip).

Debenhams’ research shows that boys wear regulation swimming briefs throughout their early schooldays, when most of their clothing is bought by their parents, until the age of approximately 13 years old.

A transformation occurs over the next four years as teenagers rebel, with length of trunks plunging a full 15 inches to hit the knee by the age of 16, as seen on singer, Justin Bieber.

Trunk length slowly begins to creep back up between the ages of 28 and 35, as young men look to hit the beach and show off their bodies in order to find a partner.

Debenhams spokesperson, Ruth Attridge said: “It was no surprise that most respondents referenced the pulling power of Daniel Craig’s tight-fitted blue trunks as their main beach influence.

“However, when we discovered that even James Bond can’t tear British men in their over 50s away from the skimpiest of bathers, we knew we had to start taking notes.”

Throughout the 40s, board shorts and their smarter cousin, trunks, do battle with a 50 / 50 preference from Debenhams customers.

However, from age 55, swimming trunks turn back into swimming briefs and at the age of 59 reach eye-watering proportions, a la Giorgio Armani and Peter Stringfellow.

Almost no men ever return to board shorts, apart from the notable exception – actor, Jack Nicholson.

Attridge continued: “Our findings are very important in helping our men’s swimwear designers get ready for the Olympic sales boom, expected to start at the beginning of 2012.

“With tiny, tight, togs sure to create a splash, we will be reviewing our designs to try and ensure all men look like David Gandy in their swimmers, whatever their age and figure.”

Debenhams Reports Monsters-In-Law Battle Over Wedding Spotlight

Debenhams has reported that mothers-in-law have thrown out the wedding etiquette rule book, much to the annoyance of brides.

Debenhams logo - links to home page

Thanks to increasing numbers of step-mothers-in-law now invited to nuptials, a new breed of thrusting, cougar-esque mothers-in-law have ripped up the first commandment for weddings; thou shalt not upstage the bride.

While the happy couples have cut back slightly on the big day to save cash, research for Debenhams has found spending by fashion savvy mums has soared to an average of £430. This is compared to five years ago when they paid out an average £190 – a 126% increase.*

By comparison the overall cost of getting married has risen by only 52% to £19,779**. This is a drop from an all-time high of £20,273 in 2008.

According to high street store Debenhams, the growth in sales has been driven by the increasing numbers of divorces and second marriages: when asked the reason for wanting to look extra special, 39% of mothers-of-the-bride or groom said they were competing with their ex-husband’s new wife or girlfriend.

Alain Mehada, Debenhams Personal Shopper, said: “It seems that brides are a casualty of the sartorial battle between wives past and present.

“In their determination to make an impact, mother-in-laws are regularly ignoring the main tenants of previous decades, such as do not wear white, do not wear black and do not wear anything low-cut, tight fitting, or which is likely to gain you more attention than the bride on her big day.”

Personal shoppers have dubbed it the ‘Raquel effect’ after Raquel Welch’s famous thunder-stealing behaviour at her son’s wedding.

Raquel Welch, aged 65 at the time, turned up 12 minutes late to her son Damon’s wedding, wearing a skin-tight, little black dress with cutaway frontage revealing that famous décolletage, all topped off with a huge brimmed white hat and dark glasses.

Nearly 80% of women questioned said their main goal when dressing for their child’s wedding was to look younger than their years, with 63% of women agreeing that an expensive looking outfit was imperative.

Women agreed that figure accentuating dresses were the most important part of the look with eye-catching hats or fascinators, expensive-looking high heels and immaculate hair and make-up following accordingly.

Debenhams looked at spending through its personal shopper service and found the average mother of the bride outfits bought by style conscious mothers for weddings cost £130, handbag £40, shoes £75 and hat £60 and £50 went on new cosmetics.

This adds a new level of competition to the already existing, but less brutal contest between the mother of the bride, and mother of the groom.

‘Ladette to Lady’ Social & Etiquette Expert, Liz Brewer commented: “The number one rule for mothers and stepmothers-in-law is not to do anything to draw attention away from the bride. Be as elegant as you like, but it is incredibly bad form to upstage the bride on her big day.”

Evergreens Completes Big Brother House Garden For Fifth Year

Evergreens has announced that it has completed the garden for the Big Brother house for the fifth year running. The new series of Big Brother launches on Channel 5 at 9pm on the 18th August, and will mark a huge television event, with a large amount of National TV coverage.

Evergreens created the new Big Brother garden installing 300 square metres of Wonder Yarn 36mm grass product. The area will mainly be used for the new housemates to complete their weekly tasks and as a chill-out area the rest of the time.

Interestingly, half the new garden has been covered with daylight tubes to ensure some light gets through. This the is the fifth year that Evergreens has been involved in the creation of the Big Brother garden, which serves as a focal point for a lot of the show’s action.

Andy Driver, marketing manager, Evergreens UK, commented: “It is fantastic to be involved once again with this iconic TV show. The artificial grass has proved to be a very successful addition to the house for the previous four seasons being soft, durable and practical making it ideal to cope with the housemates’ fun and games. This year we have used one of our brand new LazyLawn products, with its Wonder Yarn recovering technology.

“The response to our work has been fantastic in previous years with our artificial grass being used more and more in gardens and landscaping projects throughout the UK.”

Debenhams Announces the Return of the Short Suit

Debenhams has revealed that ‘Just William’ style blazers worn with matching shorts are up 500 per cent on last year, thanks to grown men sporting the look on high streets and in offices across the country.

Debenhams logo - links to home page

The surprise style hit of the summer, tailored short suits have been deemed smart enough for work yet cool enough for public transport, leading to a sales boom throughout the warm weather.

Spotted on the SS11 catwalks of Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier and Dries Van Noten, this is one trend that has definitely made the leap to the great British high street.

The short suit is now available in all manner of fabrics and colours from powder blue linen through to black pinstripe cotton.

In fact, the most popular short suit has proved to be light blue, 100% linen Jeff Banks knee-length shorts and matching jackets which have been the store’s top selling menswear product for two weeks running already.

Men are typically wearing short suits with deck shoes – perfect for the tricky smart casual dress code.

Debenhams spokesperson, Ruth Attridge said: “We have heard about the emergence of ‘mankles’ – male ankles peeking out from rolled up trousers. Well, this takes it to the next level.

“All over the world, British men are renowned for exposing their white knobbly knees during the summer holidays. We want this great tradition to continue whether you are jetsetting, staycationing or off to work.”

The look was debuted by AC/DC lead guitarist Angus Young in the seventies and eighties but it wasn’t until recent shots of celebrities including tennis player Roger Federer, designer Henry Holland and The Only Way is Essex’s Mark Wright appeared that the fashion really took off.

Attridge continued: “For the daring few, wearing a short suit can be liberating experience, particularly when faced with the tropic temperatures of a morning commute.

“A certain level of confidence is needed to carry off this style however, and avoid teaming it with a tie and cap. You don’t want to look like Wee Jimmy Krankie.”

Debenhams sells over 300 varieties of men’s shorts, ranging from £13 to £65 in sizes 28 to 44.

Titanium-Jewelry.com Offers Refuge from Meteoric Rise in Gold Prices

Titanium-Jewelry.com, a premier online retailer of titanium rings, and men’s jewelry, is proud to offer a wide variety of alternative metals which will help customers get the ring that they want without paying for the high price of gold. With over one hundred rings featuring titanium, tungsten, cobalt and contemporary metals, Titanium-Jewelry.com will allow you to get high quality men’s jewelry without breaking the bank.

In just a few short years the price of gold has soared in response to the global economy. According to Kitco.com the price of one ounce of pure gold on August 17, 2011 is $1792. And the price of one ounce of pure gold exactly five years previous, August 17, 2006 was $626, an increase of 186%!

The meteoric rise in precious metals prices has also caused the price of gold jewelry to skyrocket. “Just a few years ago a typical men’s wedding band in 14K gold, without diamonds, was in the range of $300 to $400. Now with gold climbing to over $1700 an ounce the same wedding band is $700 to $900. Add some fancier details to the ring and now it’s well over $1,000! And many men just do not want to spend that much. Even if the couple drops several thousand dollars on the ladies engagement ring, the typical guy is shopping for a ring for him in the $300 – $500 range,” says Ron Yates, founder of Titanium-Jewelry.com.

Due to the very high price of gold the purchase of a 14k or 18k gold wedding band has become much less frequent in both traditional jewelry stores and online jewelry stores. Jewelers in every market are reporting much lower sales of gold jewelry for both men and women. Instead people have been turning to alternative metals such as titanium, tungsten and now cobalt. These modern metals have seen a huge uptick in sales in recent years. At Titanium-Jewelry.com, you’ll find several hundred jewelry designs featuring contemporary men’s and women’s styles. According to Ron Yates, founder of Titanium-Jewelry.com, the average price of their jewelry is around $250.“Not only will you be able to afford to a really cool modern wedding band, but you can also update your jewelry collection with modern designs from some of today’s best up and coming jewelry designers using metals and designs not traditionally seen”, says Yates.

Titanium-Jewelry.com offers one of the best selections of alternative metal jewelry on the Internet. These include titanium, platinum and tungsten jewelry which can feature grooves, engravings, inlaid gems and even metal rope. No matter the occasion, Titanium-Jewelry.com offers alternative metal jewelry that can cost hundreds of dollars less than their gold counterparts. In addition to the affordability, these metals also feature durability and scratch resistance that has made them a mainstay on the wedding and engagement ring market.

Titanium-Jewelry.com offers sophisticated designs from ArtCarved, Benchmark, COGE, Diana Classic, Edward Mirell, Formotion Watches, Heavy Stone Rings, J.R. Yates, Triton and the Belloria Black Diamond collection for her. Enticing grooms and couples worldwide, the online retailer provides hundreds of styles and metals representing the best selection of palladium rings, titanium rings, tungsten rings, cobalt rings and men’s wedding bands for the fashion forward male and female.

Children’s Sleep Over Craze Under Canvas

The ever-changing world of children’s birthday parties has a new craze – camping sleepovers.

Cash-strapped parents, fed up with spending hundreds of pounds hiring professional entertainers and caterers, are opting for a night under canvas and the excitement of the great outdoors to get their children in the party mood.

The new “camp-over” trend has boosted sales of pop-up tents at Halfords, with parents snapping up the new Gelert Liberty Rock, which is covered in a trendy pink and lilac floral pattern for girls’ do’s and Halfords’ two-man camouflage print for boys’ camping sleepovers.

Other accessories that have seen a surprise jump in sales due to the garden camp-outs have been fold up chairs and stools that come in pink and blue from £4.99 each.

Halfords Camping Expert Paul Fensome said: “We are delighted that our new eye-catching pop-up tent designs have proved to be so appealing to children and their parents.

“Of course, the added bonus is that the products are so competitively priced that they won’t break the bank and you can bring them out year after year for more sleepovers.”

Wiltshire mother of two Caroline Walker, 40, said: “My 13-year-old son had the time of his life at a friend’s birthday camp-over recently. They pitched their pop up tents in the garden in seconds and sat around with their torches telling ghost stories all night.

“They loved the food, hot dogs and burgers cooked on a BBQ outside and it was great to see them away from their computer games for once. It was more of an awake-over than a sleep over, but they all enjoyed it.”

A recent survey by children’s charity Lumos, set up by Harry Potter author JK Rowling, revealed that four out of ten parents spend up to £500 on kids birthday parties, with 67% admitting they found them stressful to organise and a third confessing they had to stretch their finances to pay for it.
