Little Gems – July

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.

Stayfresh Longer Bags

Small, medium & large.

Freezer bags were our first endeavour over 60 years ago when we started selling them on Kendal market up in the Lakes. Since then, we’ve branched out a bit, but our high-quality Stayfresh Longer Bags remain a loyal staple in our range.

5* Review

“… without any hesitation these bags are more superior than anything else I have tried. Trust Lakeland always to bring the best solutions for everything.” – Lakeland Customer, via website.

Comment from buying

“Another family favourite – we’ve used these for years. They’re perfect for things like carrots, broccoli, and parsnips, ensuring you’ll always have fresh veg in the fridge when you need it. Perfect for minimising food waste.” – Kathryn, cooking buyer.

Stack-A-Boxes

Good-quality food storage containers are often overlooked, but not here at Lakeland – especially when they’re stackable, freezer-safe, dishwasher safe and microwaveable, like our Stack-a-Boxes. Giving years of service and offering excellent value for money, these modest food storage heroes are great for batch-cooked soups, stews and snacks.

5* Review

“… It’s funny getting so excited about food storage but these are one of these few things I don’t want to do without. Well done, Lakeland.” – Dr Clark, via Website.

Comment from buying

“I love my Stack-a-Boxes! I use them for everything when it comes to food storage. Soups in the freezer and leftovers in the fridge go straight to the microwave or with me to work. Somehow, they’re always just the right size for what I need, and you can use them over and over again for years to come.” – Kathryn, cooking buyer.

Wrapmaster Dispenser

A product with a huge fan club, we’re always hearing from people who wish they’d found it sooner. Safe and easy to use thanks to the carefully concealed cutter blade, just pull out what you need, press down the lid and release… no more odd-shaped triangles of foil or ragged cling film scraps.

5* Review

“Brilliant. It cuts cling film easily – and straight! No mess, no fuss and it is easily stored until it’s needed. It is an excellent product, and well worth the price.” – Mr Priestnall, via website.

Comment from buying

“No one likes fighting with boxes of foil or cling, getting tangled up when you’re just trying to wrap a sandwich. That’s why the Wrapmaster is so great. It makes dispensing just the right amount of foil or cling so simple and easy. We’ve used one for years and it’s stood the test of time without missing a beat.” – Kathryn, cooking buyer.

CoverMate Food Covers

Convenient and easy to use, our small, medium and large CoverMate Food Covers can cover everything from a jam jar to a platter of party food. Use them indoors and out, in the fridge or in the microwave, and even in the freezer, these modest, stretch-to-fit food covers are one of our unsung heroes.

5* Review

“We are hooked on these and never want to be without them again!” – Lyn Kennedy, via website.

Comment from buying

“Don’t you hate it when your cling film won’t stick to whichever bowl or plate you’re covering? Covermate food covers fit plates and bowls both big and small to remove all the faff from covering your food – perfect for storing food in the fridge or for keeping pesky wasps off your BBQ salads in the Summer. They’re so easy to use and they can be cleaned, ready to use time and again.” – Kathryn, cooking buyer.

Lakeland Foil

Thicker, tougher, longer-lasting… we’re running out of adjectives to describe our Lakeland Foil. 30% thicker than most other brands and great for freezing, storing, lining, wrapping joints and cooking vegetables on the barbecue, it’s no wonder our customers come back for our foil time and time again.

5* Review

“… lasts much longer and is a much better quality than any other on the market, I have been buying your foil since l got married 52 years ago, so do my sons my grandchildren…” – Jacqueline Harvey, via website.

Comment from buying

“My mum has used and loved Lakeland foil for years and so it was a staple in our house long before I worked at Lakeland. I now love our super strong foil too, its nothing like the flimsy branded versions that need multiple layers just to wrap a tiny sandwich. It can actually be cleaned and used again it’s that thick. No wonder it’s a customer favourite too!” – Kathryn, cooking buyer.
