Shaped just like a real baseball bat, but in miniature size, this is a rather unique novelty pepper mill that is THE ‘must-have’ item at any BBQ this summer and is guaranteed to be a big hit with any man who is into his ‘boys’ toys’.
I need say no more… just pop it on the table and watch the men become obsessed with it!
It’s designed and manufactured in England and made from beech wood sourced from sustainable forests. It has a stainless steel grinding mechanism that’s built to last and retails for £20 from cookshops nationwide.
Now here’s a novel idea suitable for all gardeners (amateurs or pros). Put simply it’s a ‘garden in a box’ containing everything you need to be able to grow your own produce and live the Good Life.
There’s a load of different gift boxes available (three of our favorites shown below) each containing lots of different baby organic plants which you can choose dependent upon your garden size and desired taste in veg, salad or herbs.
All you do is unpack and plant into raised beds, containers or window boxes to create in just a couple of hours a growing organic vegetable garden. Couldn’t be simpler we say!
Rocket Gardens have supplied gardens to the eden project, innocent drinks, BBC Blue Peter Garden, Chelsea Flower show and thousands of people and schools across the country.

Here’s a fantastic idea for breaking those awkward silences between unacquainted wedding guests… Fink™ Wedding Edition Conversation Cards!
Each box retails for £4.99 and contains 22 cards which each contain a question designed to break the ice between guests – for instance ‘What is the next event you’re celebrating and what are your plans?’, ‘If you weren’t here what would you be doing today?’ and ‘What makes a successful marriage?’. They’ll work especially well for matchmaking at weddings I’m told!
There are several ways to use the cards – one card left under each person’s plate or a pack on each table with instructions on how to use them.
Our summary – a great price for something that’ll add even more fun to a day you’ll never forget.
You may have thought bolster pillows have been and gone, but you’d be wrong. A small company called The English Bolster Company is making it their business to revive the trend and bring them back into bedrooms all over the world.

Each Bolster Pillow is hand made in the UK using the finest top quality Feather & Down so you are guaranteed a good night sleep for sure. There’s a choice of two fillings; The finest Duck Feather & Down and the rather luxurious Goose Feather & Down.
The company also sell a selection of Egyptian Cotton Bolster Cases (they’re rather tricky to find anywhere else these days).
Prices start from £32.95 and we think they’d make a great gift for the nostalgic or traditional.
