Help needed. I'm in a present hole.
Was bought a present previously that I rejected it and took it back for gift card (JL), this was from someone who often rejects my presents. Apparently this way round is a big issue and I now have to buy a replacement. Rejected present was a smoothie maker that was too tall to fit in the cupboard, so would sit out unused gathering dust. So ideally an electric kitchen appliance but apparently anything for the home would be acceptable. Cost £75-100 ish.
Also OH doesn't know what to buy me for my birthday - sighs.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Sounds like the price of a nice knife or a cast iron pot. Or a really beautiful wooden chopping board.
Mrs Generali reckons something from Joseph Josephs will be available from John Lewis and is very nice.0 -

Total frippery but I love these. I wasn't given the carousel but the utensils are great as the gooey end is automatically elevated when you put it straight onto a work surface, so you're not resting them on plates, at awkward angles or in the pot where you burn your hands.
