Remember the day of the SodaStream? Well, I do and absolutely loved it! With the ultimate return of the SodaStream, it has made it the must-have kitchen accessory that could well be on everyone’s Christmas List! There are many different styles available from the Pink Fizz (a great girly gift) and a Crystal (good for mums who like entertaining) as well as a Christmas Pearl range. But I must say, being red like Rudolf’s shiny nose, this Red Fizz (£119.99) machine ticks all the boxes for me!
There really couldn’t be an easier way to add extra sparkle to this festive season. SodaStream’s are the perfect gift for smart Mums and Dads who want a sleek and stylish design with the benefit of being able to make soft drinks at home. The kids and the big kids will get much use out of this sparkly machine. The shimmering design in Fizz, has patented in-built technology to check exactly how much fizz you are putting into your drink. It will look great wrapped up under any tree and will look even better in the kitchen.
So why not put some sparkle into Christmas and the New Year with SodaStream. With a stunning collection of natural flavours available also, you could well be the envy of your friends! Why not add some sparkle and fizz to a bottle of wine? Who says that sparkling wine is expensive! Creating delicious fizzy drinks from tap water and using refillable canisters, mean that you produce less waste than throwaway bottles and cans making this a perfect gift for the Eco conscious friend.
Why not pop one of SodaStream’s Flavour Selection Boxes in with this gift aswell? Priced at £9.99, this will fit wonderfully into any stocking. It contains 12 flavours with everything from cola to lemon & lime so will be sure to keep you going until well into the New Year.

I would like to introduce you to the AirFryer from Philips…It’s time to ditch your deep fat fryer for good.
A new healthy way to ‘fry’ food, the Philips AirFryer has become the most useful tool for Slimming World users. You could eat a bucket load of home made chips and still remain syn free.
The AirFryer uses patented Rapid Air technology to ‘fry’ food without adding extra oil but achieving the same crunchy result.
For Syn Free Slimming World chips, just slice potatoes and add to AirFryer. Use a cooking oil spray like frylite and wait for perfectly cooked, HEALTHY chips!
For Slimming World users and for anyone who wants to eat healthy, this is a revolutionary product. In our society which is trending to the obese, this is possibly the most important new product for the kitchen in recent times.
As well as being high performing, The AirFryer is a good looking gadget too. Sleek and subtle, this will fit right into your kitchen and right into your lives.
In addition to cooking great tasting syn free chips, the AirFryer is capable of cooking lots of different food, even things like tempura prawns. Of course, all the food is cooked a lot more healthier than any other possible form.
I have to say that sausages also work really well too! No flipping, just throw them in and turn on the timer.

Procook’s graduated red salt pig, could be a simple and practical Christmas gift for many food lovers! It’s very cute and would sit wonderful on any kitchen top.
With a creamy interior and graduated red glaze, this salt pig will grace your kitchen whilst holding a generous quantity of salt at the ready. It is finished with an integral knob on the top making it easy to transport to where needed. On receiving the Salt Pig (which I must say is a fantastic name!), I was pleasantly surprised at the size of it! It is much bigger than I thought it would be, making it easy for ‘chunky’ fingers to grab whatever amount of salt needed. There is also range of oven to tableware and kitchen accessories which all match.
