Ice cream, anyone?
This set of four sundae dishes would be perfect for using for outdoor dining or BBQ’s, as they’re made of acrylic and relatively inexpensive, so you don’t need to worry if someone accidentally drops one.
They come in a lovely mixed set of colours and, thanks to the sale at Bhs, they’re now only £6 for the set of four.
Pop your recycling in this bag
This cheery red and white spot bag is perfect for using to recycle empty bottles, when you’re shopping for wine or even for using as a useful toy tidy bag.
The bag itself is made from recycled plastic bottles, with a woven handle, and it’s available for the super bargain price of only £5 from Perfect Presence.
Sparkling jewel hook
This fabulous hook would add a touch of bling to your home.
The round design is accented by diamante gems, which sparkle beautifully in the light. Use it as a posh hook to hang your coat on, in the kitchen to hang tea towels or aprons from, in your bedroom as a clothes hook or even to hang your favourite long necklaces or bracelets from.
This affordable jewel hook is a lovely home accessory – it’s available for only £3.75 from Oliver Bonas.
I first spotted these pretty butterfly clips whilst browsing in a homewares shop. I liked them a lot, but didn’t buy them at the time, so was really pleased to discover somewhere to buy them online.
The pink and blue butterflies have a clip on the back of them, which can easily be used to attach the butterfly onto the object of your choice. If you’d like to see a colourful butterfly fluttering around your mirror, on a picture frame, on the top of a vase or on a noticeboard, then you can, with help of these beauties. They’re a nice way of adding a touch of decorating to your home, even if you’re on a budget, and can be used individually, or in groups.
The butterflies are nicely produced and are a fab buy, at only £3 each. You’ll find them for sale from Home & Glory on Not On The High Street.
These two pretty quilts are part of the popular Cath Kidston bedroom range and are suitable for babies and young children. Both the quilts feature reversible designs, making them even more functional for a range of bedding needs.
The alternative side of both the spray flowers floral quilt and the multicoloured shooting star quilt are adorned with small dots. Both reversible quilts are made of soft jersey, with cream piping, and they measure 75cm by 100cm. They’re designed to be suitable for use for babies from 12 months and older.
Both these reversible quilts are reduced in the Cath Kidston sale and have a tidy 50% off their original prices.
Crazy Daisy storage
We love the Portmeirion Crazy Daisy design of homewares – it’s fresh, modern and funky.
There are loads of products available in the range, but for storage purposes, these storage jars are great.
The small storage jar is in the sale at Leekes, where it’s currently reduced to £14.50.
They also have the Portmeirion Crazy Daisy mug for £4.50, the Crazy Daisy plate for £8.50 and a set of six Crazy Daisy coasters for £6.
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.
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.
