I was recently asked if I was given £50, £100 and £200 to spend at All up and On, what 3 items would I buy?

Well at first I thought that would be really easy to answer, but in looking at their site there were so many great things I wanted I didn’t know where to start!

The first one, for £50, was easy! OK, what’s better than relaxing in a hot tub with lots of bubble bath, a good book and a glass of wine? But trying to keep the book dry and water OUT of the wine glass becomes a balancing act. Not any more! Take a look at this brilliant bath tub caddy! It fits any bath size as it’s expandable. It looks good, and is actually made of bamboo, which surprised me. Not only does it have room for your soap (I suppose while you’re having a bath you might as well wash!), but it supports your book (support folds away when not in use) and, more importantly, it has an excellent place to put your wine glass, holding it securely in place so there is no chance of accidentally knocking it over. Definitely a thumb’s up from me!

So, hands up, who knows what a Tagine (also spelt Tajine) is? Well, it originates from Morocco and is basically their slow oven. It consists of a round, flat base which is used for both cooking and serving. A large cone shaped lid then covers the base so that it acts like an oven. The cone shape ensures that condensation gathering within the pot is sent to the bottom, helping the cooking procedure. I have a number of mouth-watering recipes I could do, served up with freshly baked, crusty bread – yummy! I would prepare and put my favourite meal on so that it is all ready when I get out of my bath, all warm and relaxed and hungry!

So I’m relaxed and stress free after my luxurious bath and full up and content after a splendid meal. Nothing left except to curl up in front of a roaring log fire and watch my favourite film. So what better to do this on than one of those superb, comfy Fatboy Beanbags! All Up and On have got a fantastic choice of 14 different colours! They’re practical too as they’re easy to keep clean just using a damp cloth.
