Our Weekly Top Five Picks #13

This week we’re sharing the opportunity to personalise a jar of Marmite with your own text, we’ve got a brand new cast iron casserole dish, a personalised mixing bowl, chalk markers (with an exclusive discount code) and a children’s advent calendar craft kit plus a Christmas craft kit giveaway!

Other things I’ve been loving this week but don’t have shopping links for include mini chocolate Brussels sprouts from M&S, gifted to my husband by one of his customers, a giant tarnished metal snowflake (see my Instagram feed for a photo!) and a handcrafted ceramic handled soup bowl I picked up in the gift shop in the Bonhoga art gallery here in Shetland. 

Personalised Jar of Marmite – This season’s most exclusive gift for the Marmite fan in your life. Order by the 16th of December for guaranteed delivery in time for Christmas. There’s room for 9 characters on the label – what would you write on yours? You can play around with the text on their website. I might have spent a silly amount of time doing this. Jolly good fun! £4.99

Masterclass Cast Iron Black Shallow Casserole – The latest addition to my pots & pans collection: a versatile, fully enamelled, shallow casserole perfect for braising stew meats and then popping into the oven to slow cook on these cold Autumn days. Measuring 30cm in diameter with a 3.5ltr capacity it’s great on the hob and in the oven. RRP £99.99 from Steamer Trading, it’s currently on sale for £34.99 (at the time of writing this – prices subject to change). Check out the discount voucher codes in my blog sidebar.

Christmas Advent Calendar Craft Kit – Everything your child needs to create their own personalised 80 x 40 cm fabric advent calendar from pre cut felt pockets, to felt with sticky backs for the dates, embroidery thread to sew the pockets on and templates to decorate as desired! Plus, it all comes in its own little adorable craft suitcase. What would you fill your calendar with? Sweets? Toys? Do check out their awesome range of Christmas crafts, and enter the giveaway below for a Christmas Craft Suitcase! RRP £20 from ButtonBag.co.uk

Personalised Mason Cash Mixing Bowl – a traditional earthenware mixing bowl that can be personalised with any message. The perfect gift idea for the baker in your family this festive season! Watch out for mine appearing in blog posts in the near future. Measuring 24cm in width £24.99 from IJustLoveIt.co.uk

Chalkola Chalk Pens – America’s top selling chalk markers are now available in the UK! With a 5.5 mm tip these wet wipe markers can be used on whiteboards, windows, mirrors, craft paper, mason jars, or any other non porous surface. They are eco friendly, non toxic, xylene free and odour free. A pack of 10 neon colour markers RRP £12.95 from Amazon and EKD readers can claim an exclusive 20% discount using this code upon Amazon checkout: 20OFFSTR

    I like the sound of the ‘Personalised Mason Cash Mixing Bowl’ – I love these, but mine always seem to get taken or never returned by friends & family who borrow them 😉 …so having my name on it will stop that once and for all. x

    Lots of people would get that craft kit for their children, but my gran and I love craft so much, we’d probably use it ourselves!

    Chalkola Chalk Pens. I’m involved with a charity who have regular events and I’d love to use these, with blackboard paint to mark up the craft sales we do -it just looks that little bit more attractive than hand=written or standard print-out signs.
