If you’re anything like me, buying gifts for people is a stressful affair. It’s not so much the money you have to spend, it’s the fact that for however long the recipients happen to keep your gift in the house they will constantly be reminded of your efforts.
There’s no harm in going the tried and tested bottle of the good stuff but, if you’re looking for a prezzie with a bit more longevity, we might have something for you. We’ll start with the Jamie Oliver Mezzaluna and Board with Denim Oven Glove from R149 (25% off, free delivery).
The Mezzaluna Cutter with Acacia Wood Chopping Board allows for quick chopping of herbs and leaves and the blade can be stored back in the slot in the board once you’re done.
The glove? Heavy duty, stylish, lined inside with towelling and topped off with an adjustable strap to ensure a snug fit.
Next up is a gift that’s particularly relevant, given that this past Saturday was Mandela Day. If you haven’t given it a read yet you really should get yourself a copy of Nelson Mandela – Conversations with Myself (R199, down from R550). The book, a collection of thoughts and events, hardships and victories of Nelson Mandela’s life, includes letters written during his time in prison on Robben Island, the draft on an unfinished sequel to ‘Long Walk to Freedom’ and gives readers a look into the private man behind the public figure.
Lastly we have something that we wouldn’t really suggest giving as a gift, although they do always come in handy around the house. They proved very popular last week so why not get yourself some Philips Zinc Carbon AA or AAA Batteries before the deal expires. You can choose from these options below:
R169 for a Pack of 48 AA Philips Batteries (R480 value)
R169 for a Pack of 48 AAA Philips Batteries (R480 value)
R249 for a Pack of 48 AA and 48 AAA Philips Batteries (R960 value)
R249 for a Pack of 96 AA Philips Batteries (R960 value)
R249 for a Pack of 96 AAA Philips Batteries (R960 value)
There you have it gift givers around the country, hopefully we managed to reduce your stress levels just a touch this Monday. Soldier on, we’ll get through this together.
