Face the chop
This stunning chopping board by House Doctor, a Danish family-run design brand, is made from a single slab of slate. No two pieces are exactly the same, so you can rightfully claim to own a one-off design piece.

Good as glass

Half and half
The Magisso Tea Ball is a neat little thing to have around. Made from silicone and stainless steel, the two ends of the device are magnetic. This means one end can be attached to your teapot while the other end hangs in the hot water. Then, once your tea has been brewed, the two ends can be attached to one another, so that your tea leaves hang above the water level. Basically, it means it’s easier than ever to brew the perfect cuppa.
