Grey Fox/Inkling Father's Day shop

It's nearly Father's Day, so, for those of you looking for gift ideas, I've selected a few favourites from the Grey Fox/Inkling shop for you to consider. Of course, other items are available through the shop by clicking on the tab at the top of this page.

Why has a Shop appeared on Grey Fox Blog?

I've added a Shop tab at the top of the page. I came across Inkling last year and was impressed by their concept of an online shop curated by bloggers bringing carefully selected gifts to their pages, providing a one-stop-shop for those buying presents. 

I've enjoyed selecting gifts which fit with what Grey Fox is all about and want to use this opportunity to support the many exciting brands I've come across since I started the blog. If you're a retailer that would like to appear on the Grey Fox/Inkling shop please get in touch with me.

You'll find all sorts of exciting products on the Grey Fox/Inkling shop (image origins unknown)

Grey Fox's suggested Valentine's Day gifts - on Inkling

Towards the end of last year I was invited to curate a page of suggested gifts on the gift search service, Inkling - see the button to the top of the right hand column of the blog. Inkling, teams up with top bloggers, style-hunters and culinary celebrities (I introduce some below) so you can find the perfect present every time. 

We've all been working to find you gift suggestions for Valentine's Day. On my page I've added some gift ideas at a wide range of prices. One of my favourites is Bloom & Wild, a flower delivery service that sends flowers in boxes that fit through the letter box, so your Valentine needn't be at home to receive them - good idea? See my Inkling page for this and other ideas.

For those that want to record their relationship for posterity

Inkling co-founder Sophia Oliver says, “Inkling has assembled an impressive roster of experts who supply tightly curated gift edits, scouring the web for perfect gifts in their specialist subject. They do the work to get it right, so the thousands of busy working women, mums, fathers and professionals who use the site don’t have to. Inkling mixes the best of both worlds: smart algorithms to sort through the huge choice on the site, but the option to see an expert's recommendation too. It takes personal shopping to a new level.”

Inkling was founded by new mums Michelle Kingsley and Chloe Ross, and their friend busy professional Sophia Oliver, when they realised they just didn't have the time to trawl the high street for gifts any more. They needed a faster, more efficient way of buying their friends and family brilliant presents – and Inkling, which now has an audience of 2 million across its editor network, was born.
