Little Gems – August

The unsung heroes… those little things that make your life just that little bit easier… the ideas that are so obvious you wonder why no-one’s thought of them before! In celebration of our Diamond Anniversary, we’re shining a spotlight on some of our favourite Lakeland Little Gems, that are, in our opinion, 100% deserving of a spot in your home. After all, it’s the little things that can make a big difference.

Masha with Aerator Blade

Perfect mash with minimal effort

Traditional potato mashers can be quite the arm workout – and still leave leftover lumps in your mash. Make years of lumpy mash vanish in seconds, thanks to Masha, which gives you perfectly smooth spuds without all the arm ache.

5* Review

“The best potato mash utensil ever. Super easy to handle and clean. I can’t live without it!” – Mrs Lima, via website

Comment from buying

“I was always a potato ricer fan in the past, they give you such smooth mash. But then I tried the Masha and I was instantly converted. Smooth mash, like the ricer, but with minimum effort and so much easier to clean afterwards. You need to try it to believe it!” – Katheryn, Cooking Buyer

Lakeland Garlic Press

Garlic prep made easy

If you love garlic as much as we do, you’ll want to try out the Lakeland Garlic Press. It doesn’t just make garlic prep a quick and easy process (though it does do that, of course), but it also stops your hands smelling like garlic for hours to come.

5* Review

“I love this as it takes no time to press the garlic and add it to the dish I’m cooking. Easy to clean afterwards, I’m using more garlic now!” – Mr Ball, via website

Comment from buying

“This garlic press is fabulous. The worst part of a garlic press for me is removing the excess garlic and getting the smell on my hands, but with the removable chamber this just doesn’t happen. There is also no need to remove the skin as this press just minces garlic with ease.” – Ellie, Assistant Buyer

Dreamfarm Mini Supoon

Enjoy every last bit

The Supoon takes scraping the bowl to a whole new level. With a flat squeegee tip to scrape pans and bowls clean, and a handle that lets you lay it down without the messy end touching your worktop, this simple innovation will soon become your new can’t-live-without kitchen gadget.

5* Review

“We just love our Mini Supoon – so much so that I have since bought another four as gifts for family and friends! It gets a good two extra servings of honey out of the jar, and even more with the Marmite! Ours has been through the dishwasher after every use and is looking as immaculate as the day it arrived.” – Sarah Cook, via website

Comment from buying

“If you don’t have at least 2 of these in your kitchen drawer then you are missing out! We always have at least one in the dishwasher and one on the go in our household. They are perfect for getting into those pesky corners of your favourite jams and spreads. The notch in the neck also works as a spoon rest!” – Ellie, Assistant Buyer

CRIMPiT

Mess-free meals in minutes

Enjoy perfectly crimped toasties without the need for a big, heavy toastie machine. CRIMPiT’S clever design makes the toastie-making process easier and more compact than ever before. We can’t believe how popular this little innovation has been (and continues to be!). It’s the very definition of a Little Gem, and we’re proud to have it in our range.

5* Review

“Great design, easy to use in that it takes whole unpeeled cloves and has well engineered leverage handle. Comes apart to clean; best simple non-electrical gadget I’ve bought in a while” – Mrs Jones, via website

Comment from buying

“This is best gadget for tasty mess free toasted sandwiches! For smaller kitchens or those who don’t want an electrical toasty maker, this is the perfect gadget to get your toastie fix!” – Ellie, Assistant Buyer

CRIMPiT Wrap Press

Now that’s a wrap!

We’ve all been there: you pick up your freshly made wrap, only to find the filling has fallen out before you’ve taken a bite – time to refill and hope it doesn’t happen again… With the CRIMPiT Wrap Press, you’ll never have to worry about messy meals, thanks to a simple innovation that keeps fillings tucked inside.

5* Review

“Very easy to use and makes delicious hot snacks or main dish with vegetables.” – Deborah Obrien, via website

Comment from Buying

“If you loved the original CRIMPiT, then you are undoubtedly going to love the CRIMPiT wrap. Sweet or savoury, breafast, lunch or dinner, you can do it all in a CRIMPiT wrap. Elevate your CRIMPiT wrap by popping the folded wrap into the air fryer!” – Ellie, Assistant Buyer

Jarkey Screw Top Jar Opener

The key to opening stubborn jars

When stubborn jar lids just won’t budge, all you need is a Jarkey! The failsafe way to open even the stiffest of sealed screw-top jars, it’s so simple to use – you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

5* Review

“Wonderful little gadget, so useful when your hands get weaker!” – Mrs Summer, via website

Comment from Buying

“This is such a coveted and failsafe product for our customers. It’s fantastic for getting into those pesky jars that don’t want to be opened! It really does make such a difference, especially for those with limited strength or dexterity restrictions.” – Ellie, Assistant Buyer
