15 BRAND SPANKING NEW THE WHEAT BAG COMPANY The Wheat Bag Company’s new neck and shoulder wraps are designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation. Thoughtfully shaped to fit snugly around the neck and shoulders, each wrap is filled with natural English wheat for gentle, soothing warmth. When heated in the microwave, the wrap helps to relieve aches, ease tension, and promote relaxation, making it ideal for use at home, in the office, or after a long day. Handcrafted in the company’s Wiltshire workshop using quality materials, this is a comforting essential you’ll want to reach for again and again. www.thewheatbagcompany.co.uk POPCORN KITCHEN Popcorn Kitchen has upped the ante with regards its Christmas gifting offer, courtesy of a three-strong chocolate bar offer consisting of White Chocolate Raspberry, Dark Chocolate Orange and Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate Popcorn. With Salted Caramel Popcorn Chocolate already firmly established as a cult giant bar, the decision was taken to give further impetus to the natural ‘foodie chemistry’ that exists between snacking icons, popcorn and top-drawer chocolate, by exploring the full spectrum of enticing chocolate meets crunchy popcorn flavour marriages. In further exciting news, the Popcorn Kitchen family welcomes the arrival of Vanessa Andrews as Marketing Director. Vanessa comes armed with a wealth of brand marketing wisdom and experience from an array of enviable blue-chip roles (Mars, Danone, Pladis & Oxford SM) and will be overseeing the next chapter of the brand’s eagerly anticipated evolution that will include a new foray into on-the-go and the on-trade. www.popcornkitchen.co.uk LESSER & PAVEY Lesser & Pavey has developed its enchanting Desire range of fragranced products. 20cm tall glass vase shapes hold a soya candle with three quality wicks that will constituently burn the fragrance captured within. At the end the vase has a new purpose, one for holding new cathedral candle or floral arrangement – so it could be said it offers two gifts in one. Along with a varying range of quality fragrances captured in the candle, the outer glass vase brings colour in white and grey swirls, speckled patterns offering light randomly, coffee brown base colour with charcoal animal print, and creams with whirls of toffee. Add to these Desire candles comes larger statement diffusers in masculine shades of coffee, tobacco and rum as well as modular square glassware of cranberry, green and neutral. Each diffuser is presented in a stunning gift box, showing a peak at the inner glassware vessel, capturing fragrances that reflect perfumeries and classic masculine fragrances including Azure (Aquatic woody note), Suave (Spicy Oriental), Oud Wood (Woody Oriental Blend), Aventi (Fresh fruity), Coco (Floral Oriental Blend), Liberty (Floral and woody scent) and Rouge (Floral Oriental Blend). Lesser & Pavey also has ranges of smaller candles and diffusers, refills and fragrance room sprays.

The fair-trade products are all hand-crafted by small family businesses in Indonesia using locally available sustainable or recycled materials such as teak root, coconut shells, bamboo and discarded boats and fabrics. Responding to customer trends, Makasi has been expanding its giftware range over the last couple of years and on a shopping trip to Indonesia earlier this year, managing director Dan Unsworth bought or designed and commissioned a large selection of new giftware products from his family suppliers: “It’s good to meet with the local craftspeople face to face and chat with them about what we’re after over a cup of sweet tea in a relaxed environment,” says Dan “The personal contact allows us to choose materials and sketch out product designs with them so they know exactly what we need.” Makasi’s new offerings include a range of luscious handcarved and hand-painted mushrooms inspired by the natural world, adorable tiny hand-carved creatures on branches and plants, unique soap and lotion dispensers made from bamboo or coconut shells and some fabulous organically shaped bowls – among many others, all available to view on the website. www.makasiimports.co.uk
