We are huge fans of Lakeland here at The GWG and love nothing more than perusing the aisles (sadly only virtually at the moment) of the home of kitchenware.

We have lost count the number of times we learn that a friend’s gadget or nifty space/time saving product comes from Lakeland. Take this 3 Tier, Heated Airer that has, quite literally, revolutionised our lives (along with this cling film dispenser. You won’t look back, we promise!). We told you we are fans…

This wonderful family-owned business was founded in the early 60s and started off selling home freezing plastic bags from the family garage. Today the company is a global name for utensils, preserving essentials, innovative cookware and so much more.

Over these past few (somewhat trying) months, people have turned in their droves to baking, crafting and cooking to get them through and we cannot think of many things lovelier than receiving something from Lakeland at Christmas.

We have hand picked fifteen of our favourites from Lakeland’s fantastic site. They have done much of the hard work for us by providing us with simple categories; for him, for her, for couples, for the kids, the fanatic baker, chocoholics, coffee lovers and so much more.

For Her

This electric blanket completes the picture and with six settings, this heavenly throw can keep you warm for up to nine hours. It also has an auto-shut off feature for peace of mind zzz.

Simplehuman, Mini Sensor Magnifying Mirror - £119.99 As much as it pains us to admit, a magnifying mirror has become a necessity when it comes to applying makeup and, ahem, our eyesight. This magnifying mirror takes the strain out of our eyes (quite literally with 10 x magnification) and folds away neatly too.
