Waste Bins

Brabantia 30L Touch Bin - Brilliant Steel

A bin as a present does not sound an exciting prospect but a Brabantia Touch Bin is not an ordinary bin, it has a unique touch mechanism, making the bin extra easy to operate.

Brabantia bins are renowned throughout the world as the receptacle of choice for waste storage.

The unique Touch Bin is a must for any living space with its easy to use "soft-touch" lid. Constructed to last a lifetime, the Touch Bin range opens automatically with only a slight touch to the odour-seal lid - then clicks tightly shut, there's no more clattering of metal on metal like traditional bins.

Corkscrews

Barcraft Connisseur Lever Arm Corkscrew Gift Set

Do you love gizmos or perhaps just want the easiest way to open a bottle of wine you'll ever find (apart from a screw top, but only the New World Vineyards have caught on to screw tops)? The Connoisseur Lever Arm Corkscrew is Barcraft's traditionally styled geared corkscrew, superbly designed with a truly effortless action. If you have ever struggled to open a bottle of wine with a conventional corkscrew, had trouble pushing the corkscrew into the cork, split the cork whilst doing so or hurt your fingers trying to forcefully pull the cork out, the Barcraft Connoisseur is your salvation. This beautiful corkscrew is engineered to ensure opening your favourite bottle of wine is effortless, time and time again.

Just place the grip handles around the wine bottle, lower the front lever arm to push the corkscrew worm effortlessly into the cork and return the arm to its starting position to lift the cork out of the bottle. Simply done, in a matter of seconds. Then the cork can be removed from the worm just as effortlessly. All corks, whether actual cork or synthetic, can be removed easily.

Perfect for that unusual Christmas or Birthday present, or treat yourself - a labour saving device that is worth every penny.  And the Gift Set comes with the added benefit of a Wine Stopper.   The Connoisseur Lever Arm Corkscrew comes in a stylish presentation case which has mouldings to hold each item in place and a magnetic clasp to keep the case firmly closed.   Although Barcraft are so certain of their design capabilities, they have included a stylish soft touch display stand so if you like to keep your gadgets on show, you can.

The Gift Set includes:

• The deluxe, geared action Connoisseur Corkscrew with a metal lever-arm and stylish pearl finish. It is an innovative design on a modern favourite that is truly effortless with a premium feel.
• A twist action foil cutter with 2 Cutting Wheels for quick and easy foil removal.
• A spare hardened steel non-stick coated corkscrew worm, just in case the original needs replacing.
• A Wine Stopper is included.
• Fully comprehensive instructions.
• It is packaged in a stylish presentation or storage box which you'll most definately want to keep.
