  • Bird Boxes and Nest Box Wildlife Cameras
    Bird Boxes and Nest Box Cameras.            Once again, Spring will be with us soon and now is the time to set up your very own Nature Watch or Springwatch in your own garden. All you need is a suitable Bird Box and Micro-camera to see the wonders of Birds nesting and rearing their young chicks. When considering your options as to how you may get this in place in time, you have a number of options open to you. If you already have a Nest Box mounted against a wall, fence, shed, garage or even on a tree and have access to mains electricity it may just be a simple case of removing the lid roof of the nest box and installing one of our Wireless (between transmission unit and receiver) Bird Box Cameras. The micro camera transmit colour images (black and white at night Infra Red Night Vision) to a receiver up to 50m away. This can be connected to you TV for monitoring or recording purposes. If your Nest Box is unsuitable for the addition of a Camera unit (or so old it may even fall apart), then you may wish to consider mounting a Camera Ready Bird Box that has all necessary holes and a hinged lid ready for a Micro camera to be added. The wireless camera gives some flexibility here as cable  doesn't need to be run all the way back to the living room. Local power is required though. Another option would be to install a Birds Box Camera Kit. This comes with a Nest Box and a wired Camera that has a 30m cable. Easy to install this Bird Box Camera Kit includes - Internal camera clip to affix the Camera Kit; A hinged lid; Copper entrance hole protector; High quality, colour micro- camera; Infra-red Night Vision; Audio kit and Full  DIY installations. If you would like a fully contained Nest Box Camera that can be adapted to suit a wide range of Bird species and is almost "plug and play" then a Multi-Species Bird Box with Colour Camera may be what you need. This fully contained bird box has a wired camera that takes superb images and uses daylight to operate (so night time images are not available). It benefits from a timer to operate the in-built LED lights that illuminate the nest to enhance the quality of the colour images. The timer will turn the light off after the time set so that the inhabitants of your nest box can rest happily during the night time. Nest Box Cameras make an ideal gift or present for those interested in Wildlife in general or birds in particular.   When selecting Nest Box Cameras its essential to pick the right one. The main features to look out for are that the Nest Box Camera is small and discreet, is either Wireless (and therefore able to transmit its images up to 50m) or Cabled with a suitably safe low voltage power requirement, has audio reception, captures the vibrancy of colours during daylight hours and can also operate if necessary during the night time hours via Infra Red (IR).   The timing of installation of Bird Boxes with Camera's is very important and great care must be taken so as not to disturb the inhabitants of the nests once erected. We ask purchasers of our equipment to be vigilant not to scare any of the wildlife that they are so keen to see. In addition to viewing Birds, Nest Box Camera's have all the attributes needed to view other forms of wildlife or even to act as a security camera. With the abundance of wildlife that live their lives almost in secret (think of Badgers playing on your lawn at night or Barn Owls or Bats flying in Barns or Farm Buildings in the dark), a Birds Nest or Wildlife Camera will give a window to a world rarely witnessed by most people. Bird Box and Nest Box Cameras from Gifts and Presents, a superb way to experience Bird and Wildlife in action from the comfort of your own living room. Gifts and Presents have a superb range of Bird Box and Nest Box Cameras for you to enjoy all that the World of Nature has to offer.

  • Pool Table Maintenance
    Pool Table Maintenance.           If you have gone to all the effort of researching, selecting, buying and installing a pool table in your home then it makes sense to try and keep it in the best condition possible so that you can continue to enjoy playing this really cool game for years to come. Not only will caring for your pool table keep it in tip top condition and therefore ensure it lasts but it will also give a better playing and rolling surface so that the games are even more enjoyable.  A pool table is undoubtedly one of the most stylish pieces of furniture to have in the home and often becomes the center of discussion. As a pool enthusiast, you're probably very proud that you have your own pool table at home. Therefore, it is important your pool table is regularly tended. You do not have to devote hours a day to it but a once weekly maintenance plan can keep your pool table in great playing condition, ready for the next time you have friends around or even just for practice. Regular cleaning tasks for your Pool Table. The Pool Table should normally be cleaned whenever general household cleaning occurs so that it's just part of your regular weekly clean. (This obviously assumes that you clean your house at least once a week, if not then a weekly schedule specifically for your pool table may be required and the rest of the house can stay a mess. At least you have your priorities straight when it comes to playing pool!). To keep the cloth in great shape, make sure you brush it, up the pool table (inline with the direction that you break). Once you have brushed the table, a good vacuum will ensure that all lose dust and particles are removed. Please keep the suction level at a medium setting so as not to raise the cloth for the table. If this occurs, ripples will form and the table cloth will need to be re-laid. Use a hoover attachment that is smooth, we find that the curtain attachment works best and gets into the corners really well, so that the cloth isn't scratched. An alternative to vacuuming is to use a lint brush or roller. To finish it off, spray a light spray of water over the cloth. This must be no more than a very fine mist. Pool Table Preventative Maintenance. Pool Table Preventative Maintenance means taking pro-active measures in advance to prevent damage to the table. Most important is to have a good quality cover your pool table, especially if the table is on a busy room or one where there is lots of strong sunlight. When a room is busy, people tend to place items on whatever surface is to hand. Drinks can get spilled and surfaces can get scratched. Strong Sunlight will face and degrade even the most robust of fabrics and the pool table cloth is no exception. Also, the cover will reduce the amount of dust particles that get on to the fabric which again will help provide a better playing surface and keep it better for longer. When Playing Pool. Try not to damage the cloth with the pool cue tip, especially when attempting spin shots with the cue ball. Also, don't lean un-necessarily on the table edges when not taking a shot as this only adds to the wear and tear. If you follow these activities for Pool Table Maintenance it will last longer, give Pool Tables a better roll on the playing surface and look great for ages. Gifts and Presents have a wide range of Pool Tables and other superb games to choose from.
  • How to choose your Multi Games Table.
    How to choose your Multi Games Table.   A multi games table can add that extra bit of fun and entertainment to a family room. What better, than to give diversity of choice to those that can't make their minds up or agree what game to play. They’re the perfect choice for someone who can’t decide between game tables that are specifically targeted at one game table such as a football or air hockey table. However, selecting the best multi games table, one that suits your needs, still requires some research and decision making. When selecting your multi games table, consider how the table will be situated in the room and the style and decor also. The space available for your multi games table will play a big part in what table games will be suitable. For example, Pool and Snooker require sufficient space all around the table on all side. Table Tennis tends to require space at either end more than at the sides (although some side space is still needed). Football Tables (or Foosball Tables) largely require space at the side and not at the ends, for air hockey tables the puck is hit at the ends of the table. Therefore, it's essential to determine not only the dimensions of the room but the space available to the multi games table and to make sure that for each game included within the selection of games that there is sufficient room to play each type of shot, strike or place. It's always tempting to squeeze that little bit extra out of a room, but to ensure you get the maximum enjoyment and return from your Games Table, make sure that the room or anything contained in it will not get damaged when the table is in use. It maybe that items of furniture in the room may need to be moved and the table put into a place for use. In this case the weight of the Multi Games Table could be a factor and wether it is on castors or wheels. Also, where space is limited, many Multi Games Tables can also be used as an everyday furniture item, usually as a dining or office table. The environment of the room is also a consideration as this can affect the state and condition of the individual table games. Too damp, too hot, in direct sunlight for example can all have a detrimental affect on the table and it's surfaces. So if the climate or environment are a potential issue, seek out a Multi Games Table that can accommodate the particular room requirement. Too near to opening doors and other items can risk damage not only to the table but the door or nearby objects. The style of the room itself may be a consideration. An oak paneled games room may have it's character completely altered by the appearance of a platinum multi games table with ultra violet lights. ok, a bit of an exaggeration but you get the idea. The style of tables available are diverse and range from traditional wood tables to modern and arcade designs. The Multi Games Table range available today gives you the choice to select a games table with the right mix of games, the correct size and design to fit into and enhance the decor of the room you plan to use it in, no matter where it is in your home. Gifts and Presents have a superb Multi Games Table range. All at great, value for money prices.
