I am going to go out on a pretty safe limb and make a sweeping generalisation about womankind; we love being spoiled. Spoiling ourselves, being spoiled by a husband, lover or best-friend, we’ll take them all. Not all the time, of course. Just enough. It’s the indulgence that gets us. The decadence. The delicious, quite innocent, naughtiness. Nowhere is this better encapsulated than at The Dorchester’s Spa and Spatisserie. Whether you’re looking for a gift that’ll really spoil an amazing lady or want to have a girlie afternoon of total indulgence (brides, are you listening?), read on…

The ultimate indulgent treat
Friday, April 30th, 2010Magnifique for a glass of wine but not so magnifique for dinner
Friday, April 30th, 2010My first trip to Terroirs was after my husband and I had sneaked out of the second half of a particularly awful play (those old theatre habits must be dying hard). We were very much in need of something to take away the taste of what we’d just been watching and Terroirs proved to be just the ticket.

A quiet drink alone
Thursday, February 4th, 2010Discovering a whole new reason to love Browns Hotel wasn’t how it started. I’d arranged to meet somebody to discuss plans for future Girl Thursday event collaborations. Forty – yes, forty – minutes later I was still on my own, patiently waiting. In fairness, I had by this time had a phone call saying that the chap in question was around the corner. That was one heck of a corner.
The age of the train
Thursday, February 4th, 2010Remember the scene in ‘Some Like It Hot’ when Lemmon and Curtis are first mesmerised by Marilyn Monroe? Her wiggle down the railway platform, just about missing the jet of steam from the train that is perfectly aimed at her perfect derrière. An image that seems to have absolutely no relationship to modern train travel – and yet….
Valentine’s Day
Thursday, January 28th, 2010I feel like Girl Thursday owes you a round-up of ideas for where to go, what to do or what to give for Valentine’s Day. It feels like our duty. And yet, and yet … it’s really not so straightforward. You see, Girl Thursday is all about the bespoke choice. It’s about discovering the things which are perfect for you, not just because a canny marketeer has slapped the word ‘valentine’ on.
For our private clients and concierge members we’re able offer hand-picked choices which will sweep your love off his or her feet. But as a sign of Trufflebox’s deep affection for you, here are a handful of Valentine specials which are happening at places we know, love and trust all year round.
