Teal is the hot new colour of the catwalks - “So why not use it in Kitchenware” thought Le Creuset.
It’s a little too loud for my tastes, but if you want high end kitchen products in a colour that will burn your retinas, then this could be for you!
Le Cresuset say:
“With interiors stylists and fashion designers dictating Teal as the big news for 2008 and beyond, why not update your kitchen wardrobe with a piece of Le Creuset Teal. Available in a variety of shapes in Cast Iron, Stoneware, and Silicone, the Le Creuset Teal Collection has a piece for everyone.”

With energy prices on the rise, we’re all going to be looking a little closer at conserving electricity. With that in mind the Kenwood Energy Sense Kettle offers the opportunity to shave upto 35% off your traditional kettle’s electricity consumption.
The design incorporates a lightweight body, wide angle spout for non drip pouring (a personal gripe of mine). A combination of the improved element and clear visibility can allow you to boil up the exact amount of water you require.
To add to the Kenwood Energy Sense Kettle’s green credentials - it’s packaged in recycled cardboard and a reusable cotton bag.
Not a bad gift for those looking to save energy and money.
Retails for £39.99 ($80 approx).
Probably one of the nicest gifts someone has given me is a personalised photobook. To my mind, it shows real thought and effort has gone into the gift.

Having been to several weddings over the last 6 months, I can testify to the rather unimaginative wedding favours some couples dream up. That’s why I was quite interested by the concept of Tea Wedding favours.
The Leaf Shop offer rather sleek little tea favours for around £1.10 - £1.50 each (Great for keeping your budget down). They can even be personalised - although this does cost extra.
The matchbox sized tins can be filled with your choice of teas and herbals, complete with bespoke label displaying the happy couple’s name and wedding date. Your guests can treat it as a rather nice momento or brew up a tastey cuppa.

Check out these funky Question Mark chairs created by Stefan Heiliger for Tonon.
Their aesthetic beauty rightly won them the Red Dot Design Award.
The shape has continuous curved structure supported by a central base in chromium plated metal. The central column has a 360° swivel function with return mechanism.
An expensive, but delightful gift for anybody….
