When agreeing to write about this week’s Nisbets product of the week the OXO Good Grip Squeegee immediately came to mind as it has become the latest in my collection of “how to make my life easier” gadgets that I tend to favour.

Recommended to me by a trusted friend at the weekend, of which could be described as a leading authority in tools of a domestic nature, I felt compelled to try it out. Now, I wouldn’t call myself a domestic goddess in any sense of the word, but the notion that this handy little tool could
actually make my life a little easier won me over. You see, although my friend and I have a lot in common, unlike her, spending hours cleaning and polishing is not my idea of a well spent weekend.

Nowadays, it seems quite mundane having food served to you on a normal round plate. Lots of gastro pubs and up market restaurants tend to serve many dishes on wooden or slate boards, especially steaks and burgers, with side orders in quirky little bowls. This seems to be the trendy thing to do, and it’s certainly catching on.

There are lots of other interesting and unique ways of serving your food to customers. To make starters and side orders stand out from the crowd, our wired presentation baskets are a great option, they look like mini baskets you use for frying chips and scampi which adds quite a nice finishing touch.

It's always very unpleasant walking into a restaurant toilet or hotel lobby and smelling a nasty whiff of something. Steer clear of this by using efficient air fresheners. Rubbermaid has introduced three refreshing and natural fragrances designed to rejuvenate the mind and body while effectively neutralising odours in any environment.

These fragrances are infused with therapeutic ingredients and essential oils, proven to have a positive impact on mood. Each blended fragrance offers complex and multidimensional scents which have been proven to disperse evenly and last longer than most other fragrance refills.

Depending on your type of establishment and what atmosphere you'd like to create, here are some descriptions of the type of mood these fragrances will give you:

My Nisbets product of the week has to be our Dualit double waffle iron.

Most people I know love waffles; they are eaten all around the world as a popular breakfast meal or snack, particularly in Belgium, France and the United States. One great thing about waffles is the toppings; you can either go sweet or savoury  and practically have whatever you want on them, from BLT waffles to peanut butter and banana ones!

As waffles can be a very popular choice on a menu, for those cafes and restaurants looking for quick turnarounds this Dualit professional double waffle iron, which can make 60 waffles per hour, is exactly what you need. It has many great features, such as the Teflon coated plates which makes them easy to clean, has a quick 8 minute heat up time and for energy saving, one ring can be switched off when not in use.

I love going out for dinner. It means not having to cook, lay the table or wash up – ideal. It’s not just all these things though that makes eating out a pleasurable experience; it’s also the umming and arring over the menu, enjoying the company and getting a feel for the decor.
