1) I like to think I’m quite advanced in the kitchen but I also want every book Persephone publish, so Dinners for Beginners by Rachel and Margaret Ryan would be a pleasing addition to my collection; 2) Andy and I have been on the hunt for some nice egg cups – the suitably regal Royal Stafford Footed Egg Cup might just do it.
3) C’mon, you know how I feel about the Savoy, you know how I feel about Champagne. I would be over the moon with some Savoy Champagne Saucers to booze out of; 4) Astrological Bottle Stops are way more glamorous than jamming the old cork back in and these star-sign designs feed my obsession with all things astrological.
5) Don’t need to say anything else about the Gallon of Tabasco; 6) Or the Giles & Posner Popcorn Maker. Two of my main food groups there.
7) I have wanted these Two’s Company Cheese Knives for a long old time – far more sophisticated than the sticky label wrapped around a cocktail stick that I have traditionally made to accompany my mum’s Christmas Day cheeseboard; 8) Buttery toast is my ultimate weakness and this Deco-Inspired Toast Rack would make the guilt even more pleasurable. Do you know how hard it is to find a nice toast rack? That took hours of searching.
9) Proper Italian food is always good at Christmas and Exciting Food for Southern Types by Pellegrino Artusi deals with the subject in a surprisingly lol-worthy fashion; 10) Is there anything better than shoving kilos of cheese into your mouth over Christmas? No. Do it in style with this Camembert Platter and Knife – the collection also contains a baking dish. UNF.
11) I’ve called this the Anatomical Chopping Board but it’s actually called something really cringe-worthy. Name aside, this is a fun design for something pretty basic; 12) I never, ever make coffee at home but I think I would be tempted with the Luna & Curios x Phoebe Richardson Skeleten Espresso Set.
I have been lusting after that espresso set for so long, but we can’t have nice things in my house because Alex breaks them.
OMG, the skull espresso cup set! OMG!
