Bombay Sapphire gin has recently introduced a new gin; the Bombay Sapphire East. This gin contains 12 different herbs. The recipe of the Bombay Sapphire East is based on the original Bombay Sapphire recipe with the same ingredients like the juniper berries, lemon peel, almonds, coriander and liquorice. For this edition oriental herbs are added: lemongrass and black peppercorns. The result is a light citrus gin in the nose and a complex spicy aftertaste.
In Paris you can get free Wi-Fi by playing Scrabble on your phone. Paris has got quite a lot of places where Wi-Fi is not available, so Ogilvy Paris introduced the game Scrabble Wi-Fi. Scrabble placed three Wi-Fi hotspots in the city where correct spelling and creative use of language was rewarded. Create any word using up to seven letters for the password and the score will be converted into free Wi-Fi minutes. So the higher your score, the longer the connection.
Sometimes it happens that the waitress in a restaurant drops the tray accidentally and knocks over all drinks. With the ‘Safetray’ this will not happen again quickly. There is a ‘All-important clip’ placed under the ‘Safetray’ where you can easily support your finger, so the tray will be much more stable. A useful gadget for restaurants!

The range of fruit consists of bananas, strawberries, oranges dipped in chocolate. But also apple slices, raspberries, blackberries and pineapples are available as well.

It gives your guests the opportunity to pamper themselves (a bit luxury at an affordable way).
