Brabantia XL Comfort Ironing Board

www.brabantia.com

RRP £98.00

I’m not one for domestic chores but this ironing board, size C in the range, makes me feel like I need an upgrade! Measuring 124cm x 45cm (dimensions including the steam unit holder and legs are 159cm x 49cm), this board feels incredibly sturdy. With non-slip feet and several height adjustments, (older) family members have no excuses when it comes to ironing their own uniform/sports kit/king size sheets!

$624.99 (currently $499.99)

 

NHT are renowned for their ‘high end, not high price’ speaker systems, so we were delighted to receive their C-3 bookshelf speaker in their limited edition, carbon fibre finish. The standard gloss black looks sleek but this has the visual impact that matches the layered sound it delivers, and suits the aesthetics of my place far better than anything shiny. In fact, show me something that doesn’t look better in carbon fibre.

Who doesn’t love an outdoor cinema? That was the first thing we enthused over when we moved house last summer, only our old projector and makeshift screen didn’t cut the mustard, so we resorted to sticking a tv in the treehouse, which somewhat detracted from the romance. Watching your favourite film projected on the wall, canvas, or ceiling – of your chosen home (or garden, or campsite) cinema is so much better.

Bringing your newborn home and daring to take a step out of the same room is an enormous leap of faith for new parents, for me the need for reassurance is constant. But having a baby monitor that you watch with the same obsession as you watch your newborn gives little opportunity for all-important rest.
