Every year is a struggle, wracking my brain over buying the perfect Christmas gifts? I’ve always aimed to but a present that would fit the recipient perfectly, but instead I’m forced to endure their disappointed face as they open their ‘great’ gift; their mouth is smiling but their eyes are not. Well I’ve come to a conclusion, instead of trying to think outside the box, I’m turning conventional; everyone’s getting practical gifts. I’m thinking small domestic appliances.

So coffee machines, which to choose? Who doesn’t need a cup of joe in the morning? Most you coffee enthusiast will be nodding your head in agreement that these belong in the ‘best of’ list. The Delonghi espresso maker has a two cup capacity. There is no preparation of coffee needed, it features pod compatibility for greater convenience. The Senseo 2-cup and the Senseo Supreme are both highly rated brewers. The Senseo takes pods and uses light pressure to brew your coffee in less than two minutes. Other brands that are also popular include espresso and cappuccino machines that range in price from very cheap to amazingly expensive. At £20 the Proline TCF2-U Coffee Maker is great value for money.00.

That’s Dad done. Now, I got Mum a kettle, she always seems to be making tea so why not? So I thought a Morphine Richards 43771 would add a touch of class to the kitchen. At a fraction of the price are the new Accents Traditional Kettle Collection, this combines functional features needed in today’s kitchen and classic retro styling. A food processor can also be a very good gift. The kitchenaid food processor is high quality product, it is one of the best food processors on the market and at an affordable price. Why not treat yourself to one of these stylish, practical food processors.
