Deluxe Sushi Set

Hanging out at Yo Sushi! regularly will certainly hit a teenager's budget. And so what better than learning to make their own sushi. Plus there's a lot of fun to be had in having friends round and preparing sushi together - everyone can pick exactly the flavours they like, and perhaps even compete to make the most elaborate creation!

Zari Embroidered Prawn Tree Decoration

Hang this prawn decoration from the branches of your tree. With a cheerful expression and colourful fairy lights, he’s ready for any Christmas party.

If you don’t have a tree, you can hang the bauble from a shelf or mantelpiece. Handmade from felt and polyfoam, the bauble is soft to the touch. It’s a lovely alternative to traditional ornaments. Buy one for yourself or for a friend who loves quirky decorations.

Sabarot Large Helix Lucorum Snails

The best way to get conversation around the Christmas breakfast table? An unusual ingredient they might have never tried!

Snails are a French delicacy, and frequently cooked with butter, finely-chopped shallots, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.

Stuart Gardiner Chip Chop Double Oven Glove

Stuart Gardiner’s ‘Chip Chop’ double oven glove brings hip hop to the kitchen. These gloves are illustrated with food-themed puns inspired by top hip hop artists. From ‘Bun DMC’ to the ‘Notorious BLT‘ and '2 Puc Choi', it features all the biggest artists combined with all your favourite foods.

The gloves are bright, bold, and made to stand out, with blue and pink graphics that are way more fun than your average oven mitts.

Ichendorf Milano Limited Edition Rocking Horse Tumbler, 350ml

Why drink from a boring glass when you could have a blue rocking horse chilling in your lemonade? The horse has a lilac body and flaming red mane. You can almost picture a child rocking back and forth with glee. Fill the glass with opaque liquids and the horse will be revealed as you drink.

Pink Geisha Bento Box, 640ml

These large bento boxes are a fun and practical way to take packed lunches to school or college. The top, ‘hat’ section is an inverted bowl - tuck a small sachet of instant miso soup into here, and just add hot water when ready to eat. The second ‘face’ level has a hermetic seal for storing stews or dressed salads without leaking. The bottom ‘body’ level is a perfect container for buns, sushi or rice

Japanese Kawaii Pink Rabbit Rice Bowl, 14cm

The cutest bunny bowl ever. This pink kawaii rabbit bowl makes even plain rice look fun. Made in Japan, it’s got deep sides, a narrow base, and the sweetest design — bunnies hopping around the outside, with flowers and kanji characters inside.

It’s the perfect size for a donburi (rice bowl), think chicken katsu, salmon teriyaki, veggies, and a jammy egg on top. Or breakfast cereal!
