Cute kitchen timer
Designer Lisa Stickley has created a great new range of homeware products exclusively for Debenhams. We couldn’t help but spy this unusual kitchen timer which is in the shape of a cute little house.
The pink timer has windows and a fence running around the bottom, with birds and flowers, and the numbers for the timer are on the edge of the decorated roof. To use the timer, you simply twist the house around to the desired time and wait for it to count down the minutes.
If you’re bored with plain and simple kitchen timers, then this is a fun piece to add to your kitchen. The pink house timer by Lisa Stickley is a little bit more expensive than ordinary kitchen timers, at £12 from Debenhams, but it’s worth it for such an unusual, yet practical, designer kitchen accessory.

Who's sitting where?
When you’re having a dinner party, tea party or special meal, it’s nice to lay the table properly and mark out details of who should sit at each place.
Placecards can be propped up in the appropriate spot, but one way of doing it in style is to use placecard holders.
This set of pretty little placecard holders are in the shape of mini chairs. They’re made from pewter and come in a set of four different chair styles. Find them for sale at Patchwork Harmony.

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.

Perfect for Christmas cooking
Oven gloves are a crucial accessory for any kitchen and the pretty print on these oven gloves can inject a Christmassy feel into your home.
The Cath Kidston print isn’t too bold to be obviously Christmas themed from a distance, but when you look at them up close they’re adnorned with winter house scenes, piles of presents, bells and stockings hanging up by the fireside.
The practical double oven glove is available from Cath Kidston for £10.
