Denim Is Key

When it comes to holidays and packing, one of the first things most of us pack is a denim. It’s neutral, it’s practical and it doesn’t have to go in the wash after each wear. Old Khaki Denim comes with the added bonus of most of it being sustainably sourced. They’ve also recently announced a renewed focus on sustainable processes, reintroducing Terra Dye – a natural dye derived from pigmented earths.

To boost your family and Easter holiday viewing, look no further than Philips. Projectors have become the modern-day answer to movie time and sharing special family moments. Think big form, rich colour, super bright intuitive focus and fast, smart connectivity with Philips’ PicoPix Micro 2TV Projector.
