Sex and shopping - without the sex (that's on the Features page). In a busy features department, it's hard to spare the time to scour the high streets or keep up with all the latest products on offer with so many other editorial demands and deadlines to be met. With this in mind, I can put together tempting seasonal selections of gifts and ideas for every possible occasion - whether it's gorgeous jewellery and beauty products, must-have gadgets and gizmos for guys, gifts for pampered pets or stocking-fillers for under a tenner.
I have a bulging contacts book with PRs in virtually every consumer field and I like to keep tabs on what's going on at the seasonal trade fairs such as Top Drawer, Pulse and Exclusively Homewares as well as all the Christmas shows and the seasonal retail previews so that you don't have to. All product information is submitted to deadline with full details of price, stockist and availability, along with hi-res images or products for photography depending on your brief.
I also write features on money-saving strategies (not that my bank manager would necessarily notice) and I have also been a regular contributor on shopping-led seasonal specials such as The Christmas Magazine, Woman's Own Summer Special and Woman's Own Christmas Special.
