Norwegian inspired coasters
These pretty coasters are part of the Norwegian folk range of homeware products from Lakeland.
Although they’re described as ‘homely and rustic,’ the vibrant designs are colourful and jolly.
All of the range, which includes storage tins, table mats and a double oven glove, are currently reduced – often quite significantly - in the sale.
Embroidered fabric hooks
Aren’t these pretty? Thankfully there’s no hard choice to make, as they come as a set of three, so you get all of the lovely designs.
The red, blue and black fabric hooks each have embroidered designs on them, featuring flowers or birds.
The hooks are avaiable from Plumo, where they’ve currently got £6 knocked off the original price.
Handmade treasure chest
Gather up your jewellery and trinkets and get them organised, with the help of this beautifully handmade treasure chest.
The octagonal shaped box is made from handmade paper and recycled cotton waste and features three tiers of storage areas to pop your gems in.
Best of all is that it comes in a choice of 10 colours, from lipstick red and parma violet, to tempting turqouise and yummy yellow, so there’s something for everyone.
The treasure box is avaialable from Henry and Jayne, for £24.95.
Handy surface protector
Kitchen surfaces can easily become damaged through putting hot pans on them, but this handy surface protector and multi mat will help prevent unnecessary damage.
Made by Le Creuset, it’s made of silicone and is heat resistant of up to 425C, plus you can stick it in the dishwasher to clean it off if you need to.
As an added bonus, it has multiple abilities too. You can use it, for example, to help you unscrew tricky jar lids, as the grooves on the mat help provide some much needed grip.
The red multi mat is available for under a fiver from Amazon.

Cluck, cluck
Hang your towels or tea towels up in style in your kitchen, with the help of these chicken shaped hooks.
The white metal hooks have four hanging spaces on them and they’re easily fixed to the wall with two screws.
They were £12, but are now available for only £6, from Forty Four Shop.
Votive candle holders are great, but all too often with tall or deep holders, it’s a bit problematic lighting the candle without burning your fingers.
Cheery Christmas tins
This set of two cheery green and cream Christmas tins are very reasonably priced at £6 for the pair.
The large tin measures 18cm by 7cm and the small tin is 13cm by 6cm. You could either use them to store mince pies, chocolates or other Christmas goodies in, or use them to pop other people’s Christmas presents in. As they’re nicely decorated, you wouldn’t have to worry about wrapping them.
The two tins are by Rice and are available from Nettle Green.
Cute cupcakes
From a distance, these cupcakes look like the real thing – but they’re actually knitted!
Hang them on your Christmas tree, around your home, or arrange them on a cake plate. Even if you’re on a diet, this is one cupcake that you can get away with buying.
Get this set of four delicious looking cupcakes from Strawberry Fool for £24.99.
Illuminate your life
This vintage 1940s bronze lamp, which would be perfect for popping on a desk, bedside table or even a dressing table, is available at a bargain price.
It’s made from antiqued brass and has a handy flexible neck, so you can direct the light to where you need it.
The lamp originally cost £129, then it was £99, but it’s been reduced down further to only £59.
You’ll find it in the ‘red zone’ (or sale area) at Plumo.
Mistletoe tree
For something a bit different to the usual Christmas tree, how about this mistletoe tree from John Lewis?
It comes pre-lit with bulbs on it, so you don’t even have to faff around stringing it with fairy lights. At 75cm by 30cm, it’s also the perfect size if you’re in need of a smaller tree decoration.
Available exclusively at John Lewis, the mistletoe tree is £50.
