Birthday, Anniversary and Christmas Gifts

You know what its like. That special event for a loved one is looming up and you haven't got a clue about what to buy as a present.

So AMG has been seeking out some gift ideas that may just spark your imagination. The newly formulated Gift Section has a range of suggestions including books, DVDs and a number of intriguing and unusual items. These include a personalised bottle of champagne where you design the label, presentation boxes of sweets from your childhood (you must remember Sherbert Dabs and Space Dust) and a copy of an historic newspaper for the birthdate of the recipient.

Public Groups - The List Grows

A while ago AMG introduced the concept of the Public Group. The most widely used of these is 'Travel Mates'. This is the Group that enables Singles to get together for anything from days out to overseas travel. The concept of Public Groups is to have a central point where people with similar interests can swap messages, views and pictures.

AMG are pleased to see that other people have also started to form groups. These new Groups, that cover a range of things from an upbeat Diabetics community to a Grumpy Old Twits Society (we like that one) are now accessible in a panel on the right hand side of your Profile Page.

So if you want to meet up with like minded people or even start your own Group then everything is in place.

November Competitions

Bionaire® PERMAtech™ Tower Air Purifier Competition

Win a top of the range Bionaire® Tower Air Purifier (worth £149.99)

The home is always regarded as an environment that is safe and warm, somewhere you can relax, but if you suffer from an indoor allergy, it can also be one of your biggest enemies. Smoke, dust, pollen and pet dander are all allergens that are virtually invisible but can be found in the home." explains Dr. Chris Steele, the resident health expert on ITV’s This Morning and Health Journalist Of The Year 2007.

According to Dr. Chris Steele, "Allergies affect so many people in the UK and whilst there is no definitive cure, a Bionaire® air purifier is definitely something that a sufferer can use to help remove the allergens from the air."

Rhodiola Rosea Extract Competition

Win a pot of Rhodiola Rosea Extract and Beat those Winter Blues

With the clocks going back and the nights drawing in many people will be feeling the unpleasant effects of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) which is a type of depression thought to be brought about by lack of exposure to direct sunlight during winter months

With depression being caused by lack of serotonin in the brain, the Rhodiola plant works by improving the transfer of serotonin through to the brain. It is also proven to help the body deal with fatigue and mental and physical stress.

To help bring some much needed inner sunshine to anyone feeling a little blue, we have teamed up with www.healthydirect.com to offer four lucky winners the chance to win their own pot of Rhodiola Rosea Extract. For more details click here...
