Travel condiment sets

Often, when we drive somewhere for a day out, we stop for a drink or bite to eat. Instead of stashing a hodgepodge of sachets of sugar, sauces, salt, pepper etc in the jumbled glove box, these travel condiment sets is a much smarter option.

When we go to the seaside, we often have takeaway fish & chips. A bit of extra salt & vinegar as you work your way through to the lower layers is often desirable. And when we visit a new town with a nice looking bakery or butchers, Justin always likes to try out the local sausage rolls and pork pies. I often sample their cheese & onion versions. A bit of tangy chutney adds an extra twist.

Also, we’ve started travelling with a rucksack containing vacuum flask of boiling water, two travel mugs and a couple of Kenko flat white sachets. They’re perfect for a quick brew en route. Justin has sugar in his coffee, and has taken to putting two spoonfuls into his mug before putting the lid on it. One day, the lid is going to pop off and scatter sugar all round the inside of the rucksack.

When I think about what condiments and additions we generally need on a trip away, the 7-piece set would be the best fit. We’d need somewhere for all the aforementioned sugar, salt & vinegar, ketchup, chilli sauces, chutney and the like.

Grown-up lunch boxes | H is for Home

If you’re about our age – i.e. you grew up in the 70s & 80s – you may have had one of those metal lunch kits that you carried to school each day. What do you do now that you’re an adult? Sure, you could re-purpose an old ice cream container to accommodate your mixed salad. Or you could use the bag that your loaf of bread came in to carry your egg mayo sandwiches.

Doesn’t your carefully prepared packed lunch deserve better than that? Wouldn’t you rather punctuate your working day with something more pleasing to the eye as well as the palate? We’ve chosen a trio of grown-up lunch boxes that you’d be proud to pull out from your work bag when you arrive at the office in the morning.

My favourite of the three is the Zero Waste set. The ‘paper bag’ lunch holder is actually made from Tyvek, a lightweight, water-resistant, breathable material that is 100% recyclable. The flask is bamboo on the outside and stainless steel on the interior. The cutlery (knife, fork, spoon and chopsticks) is made of bamboo and there’s also a stainless steel drinking straw.

  1. Sass & Belle My Kind of People bamboo lunch box: £10.00, Amazon
  2. Zero Waste lunch kit by Global WAKEcup: £40.00, NOTHS
  3. Alessi Food À Porter lunch box: £44.00, John Lewis

vintage aluminium Grundy bin lid | H is for Home

We were tired of a huge bag of dog food balancing on our washing machine and were just about to buy one of the dog food bins that we featured in a recent ‘Gimme Five’ post

vintage aluminium Grundy bin

…then one of our fellow dealers brought this vintage aluminium Grundy bin into the antiques centre.

It’s absolutely perfect!! It fits the largest sacks of food, it’s secure & sturdy – and even has wheels to allow easy movement for cleaning etc.

Up-cycling at its best – we couldn’t have designed anything better.
