Its that time of year again where we can start thinking about Christmas.  I love the run up to Christmas, but not the last minute rush for Christmas gifts so I'm starting to look at what options are out there for potential presents.  These are a couple of great gift options for kids. GEOMAG Mechanics Gravity Loops & Turns 130 PCS* - Ages 8+ The Mechanics Gravity Magnetic Track harnesses the invisible forces of magnetism and gravity through original and surprising means.  The spheres inside the circuit are set in motion by an innovative magnetic cannon that uses the force of attraction of the accelerating magnet.  Gravity is the innovative evolution of the Geomag Mechanics line.  Developed with expert players in mind, the new construction system is based on an innovative "gravity motor" that uses the weight of the Geomag spheres to kickstart the mechanisms and movements of the Geomag Mechanics struc

This is a brand developed and manufactured in the UK, by Lisa Shepherd who has been in the hair industry for over 30 years. You can read more about the brand here  and there is a useful hair consultation page which helps you select the right products for your hair type.
