For the lazy cook, the Electrolux Inspiro could be the next must have kitchen gadget.
This oven utilises breakthrough heat management technology to automatically select the right heating mode based on the contents of the oven.
Rather than just measuring the air temperature with a thermometer and regulating it with a thermostat, the way a conventional oven operates, Inspiro uses sensors to calculate the precise combination of energy consumption and time needed to bring the food to the correct temperature. This is similar to the way cameras now automatically set aperture, exposure time and focus, depending on the light and what’s in the frame.
Available from Autumn 2008, expected to sell at around £1000 ($2,000).

I can honestly say I haven’t found a sock that even comes close to the same quality as my new ‘self clean’ Alpaca walking socks. I love walking and when I was recently given my own pair of Alpaca walking socks I threw them on and went hiking for 4 hours in complete comfort and without even thinking it!
A present from my better half, they arrived in a beautifully packaged box with a bow and all!
Believe it or not Alpaca fleece was so highly regarded that it was used by Inca royalty… good enough for them good enough for me I say! I’ve learnt a lot about Alpaca hair in fact – it has hollow fibre properties which makes it incredibly light, warm and hard wearing and very hypoallergenic.
In fact Alpaca wool actually repels bacteria and odour which means I don’t have to wash them… well… not often anyway!
They truly are a bargain at £20 and I suggest that if you’re struggling to find a pressie for the hiker, walker or climber that has everything… look no further than Perilla.
Cufflinks are a great gift and can make the recipient look suave and sophisticated.
Something like these diamond Dunhill cufflinks would be perfect.
They incorporate 74 diamonds set on a sterling silver base and retail for £1025 ($2050). Pricey but perfect…
Quite frankly I consider myself a complete sucker for personalised silverware. I guess it’s a sense that someone has actually thought about the gift.
It wasn’t until someone bought me a lush silver ring that I heard about the London Silver Vaults. This place has all manner of dealers selling new and antique pieces which can be engraved on site.
We recently purchased some amazing value napkin rings for a very reasonable £25 ($50).
