Ember ‘smart’ mug
The Ember temperature controlled smart coffee mug is wildly gaining popularity among folks who want nothing more than to kick off their day with their favourite brew.
Even if your friend isn’t an overly big fan of tea or coffee, they’re going to appreciate this incredibly innovative gift although coming in at over £100 it might make for a pricey one. Well, what’s money, anyway, when you want to show your friend or loved one how much you care, and especially appreciate the look of pure glee and joy on their face when they unpack the gift?
This little contraption can help your friend keep their tea or coffee warm for up to 80 minutes at temperatures ranging between 48°C and 62°C. It comes with the Ember app to help set the temperature effortlessly although the self-heating mug can be operated without the app as it automatically remembers the previously-set temperature which is 57°C out of the box.
There’s even an Auto Sleep function which allows the self-heated mug to turn itself on when empty or inactive for 2 hours. It literally wakes up when it senses movement. Nice!
It’s the perfect gift for a life well sipped, according to the manufacturer!
Rainbow Father and Child Matching Sheepers
How about a pair of luxurious sheepskin slippers for dad and his favourite “mini me” sidekick?
While the items in this set are sold separately, they make for an excellent gift if your friend is a father with a little one running around. The children’s sizes are available from toddler to junior with sizes for dad available in ‘order to size’.
If you’re not sure what size shoe your friend wears, then just casually look over to their shoes, give them a complement and tell them you’d really like to get that pair too. Casually ask for what size they are wearing as it may be close to yours.
Ask if their toes are just touching the end of their shoe? If it is, that’s the size you want to order!

Microwavable Stuffed Animals
Don’t freak out just yet! No, these are not snacks you microwave to enjoy afterwards, but a very clever invention on the contrary.
Not only does it have an irresistible heart-melting face but also one that provides soothing warmth. These microwavable stuffed animals are available in all sorts of varieties – from cuddly pups to adorable bears – and this teddy is filled with lavender and natural grain to soothe the recipient after it’s heated.
Great way to relieve stress or just soothe aching muscles.
