Serveware with Soul — The New Green Jade Hokan Bowls
This summer, Hokan Bowls debut a stunning Green Jade colour – perfect for blending into the backdrop of garden parties and a unique addition that transforms the experience of everyday dining.

We absolutely love how these glorious bowls are made. By applying minerals to a base coat before firing, each bowl and lid undergoes its own chemical reaction, resulting in organic, one-of-a-kind patterns — no two pieces are ever identical. Hand-moulded in high-fired stoneware, these bowls are robust and durable, with a deep glaze that locks in freshness while protecting food from pollutants often found in plastics.

Beyond their beauty, Hokan Bowls are supremely functional. Stackable to save precious fridge space, they move effortlessly from freezer to oven or microwave, then to the table for stylish serving. Available in small, medium, and large sizes, with one-size-fits-all lids, they offer an all-in-one solution for preparing, cooking, storing, serving, and saving food. Whether you’re a single professional, a family chef, a student in shared accommodation, or a keen cook with an eye for design, Hokan Bowls are a versatile, long-lasting kitchen essential that maximises both style and functionality.

Flavour That Speaks for Itself — Tracklements
Bold flavours define summer menus, and Tracklements has elevated condiments to an art form with two new must-have creations.

The NEW Sriracha Chilli Mayonnaise delivers a silky, velvety heat, blending fermented red chillies and garlic for a smoky, tangy flavour that lingers without overwhelming. Spread it on sandwiches, swirl it into mashed avocado for a spicy guacamole, or use it as a dip for sweet potato fries, crispy calamari, tempura vegetables, or chicken wings — it’s versatile enough to enhance everything from brunch eggs to spicy slaws.

Meanwhile, the NEW Indulgent Garlic Mayonnaise is rich, smooth, and unapologetically bold. Combining a buttery, luxurious mouthfeel with mellow garlicky heat, it’s perfect for burgers, halloumi wraps, crispy chips, sweet potato wedges, and onion rings. It also shines in dressings, marinades, or sauces for roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, devilled eggs, and pasta salads. Both creations offer a seamless balance of indulgence and flavour sophistication — perfect for summer entertaining at any level.

The Summer Sip — Beluga Gold Line Vodka
Few spirits combine ceremony and taste as elegantly as Beluga Gold Line Vodka. Distilled from 100% winter wheat and pure artesian water, then rested for 90 days, its signature smoothness is matched only by its visual drama. Each wax-sealed bottle comes with a bespoke hammer and brush to remove any wax residue, turning the unboxing into a ritual in its own right.

Whether you’re crafting a perfectly balanced Lemontini (à la Hailey Bieber), sipping a chilled Martini on the terrace with decadent caviar blinis, or styling your at-home cocktail bar, Beluga Gold Line is a hero for summer. Its refined presentation and premium quality make it the perfect choice for sophisticated entertaining, elevating both the drink itself and the moment it accompanies.

A Feast with Personality — SoBe Burger
Summer dining should be playful and indulgent, and SoBe Burger’s Bombay Smash, created with Chabuddy G from People Just Do Nothing, delivers precisely that. Two juicy smashed beef patties, melted cheese, sweet mango chutney, and curry mayo, all crowned with a crispy onion bhaji, combine for a flavour experience that’s as bold as it is joyful.

Pair it with Bombay Loaded Fries, smothered in masala mayo, tikka curry sauce, pink pickled onions, fresh chilli, coriander, and crispy onions, for an epic sidekick full of colour and spice. And for plant-based diners, the vegan version of the Bombay Smash captures all the same energy and personality. Available across 15 dine-in locations and 150+ delivery spots nationwide, it’s a summer menu designed for maximum flavour impact, whether at home or on the go.

Kitchen Innovation — MCG 25 Ceramic Chef Microwave
Efficiency meets versatility with the MCG 25 Ceramic Chef Microwave (£199.99), a 3-in-1 appliance combining microwave, convection oven, and grill. Its turntable-free design maximises cooking space, while dual-level cooking allows you to grill on top while microwaving below. Nine automatic programmes handle everything from crispy potatoes to perfectly baked cakes — even popcorn. Ideal for both busy households and design-savvy kitchens, it blends precision, speed, and convenience without sacrificing style.

Kitchen Innovation — KitchenAid Top Down Chopper
The KitchenAid Top Down Chopper  makes food preparation effortless. Featuring a multi-purpose stainless steel S-blade and 0.83L bowl, it chops, purees, and minces with precision. One-Touch Control allows for continual processing or quick pulses, while the clever top-down design means ingredients can be chopped, served, and stored in the same bowl. Perfect for everything from herbs and vegetables to nuts and garlic, it’s an indispensable tool for efficient, mess-free summer cooking.

This natural, non-toxic bronzing powder delivers a sun-kissed glow with a delicate sheen, giving skin a healthy and luminous finish without the harmful ingredients found in conventional formulas. Feather-light and easy to blend, it works beautifully across all skin tones—whether dusted lightly for a hint of warmth or layered to sculpt and contour. Infused with organic almond oil and antioxidant-rich vitamin E, it doesn’t just enhance your complexion, it nourishes it too—making it a true summer essential for radiant skin that feels as good as it looks.

Poolside Confidence — The Mirano Bikini
Soak up the sun in effortless style with the Mirano Bikini, designed to flatter and enhance with every detail. Featuring a textured wave design that catches the light beautifully, this set pairs a plunge-shape bikini top with super push-up padding for maximum lift and confidence. Elegant cross-over and braid detailing add a touch of sophistication, while the matching bikini bottoms complete the look for a coordinated, fashion-forward finish. Machine washable and easy to care for, the Mirano Bikini is as practical as it is striking — the perfect companion for beach escapes, poolside lounging, or sun-drenched summer holidays.

I recently wore this gorgeous set on a recent holiday in Saint Tropez and was impressed with how flattering the fit was. Life really is too short to wear a bikini that doesn’t make you feel your fabulous best…
