Leave a comment

Batch cooking just levelled up. If you’re like me and appreciate a neat, efficient kitchen with gadgets that actually make life easier, then the latest innovation from Morphy Richards will be right up your street.

Introducing the brand-new Cordless Food Vacuum Sealer – a game-changing kitchen companion that pairs perfectly with your slow cooker, soup maker, or blender. Whether you’re prepping weekday meals, diving into sous vide cooking, or just trying to reduce waste, this clever little device is the secret to longer-lasting freshness and smarter storage.

Cordless Freedom Meets Powerful Preservation

Forget tangled cables and clunky setups. The Morphy Richards Cordless Food Vacuum Sealer (RRP £79.99) lets you seal anywhere in the kitchen without hunting for a plug socket. It uses vacuum technology to remove air from bags and canisters, locking in freshness and keeping out freezer burn, bacteria, and odours.

Whether you’re freezing homemade soup or sealing marinated chicken for sous vide, the vacuum sealer is packed with features that make it ideal for home chefs who want quality and convenience.

Five Intelligent Sealing Programs:

  • Dry food – Ideal for grains, nuts and cupboard staples

  • Moist food – Keeps marinated meats and sauces sealed tight

  • Pulse mode – Precision control for delicate items

  • Seal only – Great for custom bag sizes

  • Canister mode – Vacuum seal larger or awkwardly shaped items

The integrated bag roll storage and cutter means you’ll always get a perfect fit – just unroll, cut, seal, and go.

To complement the vacuum sealer, Morphy Richards has also released a range of vacuum seal bags and rolls (RRP £11.99–£19.99). Choose from:

  • Pre-cut bags (x50 in small or large sizes) – great for grab-and-go sealing

  • Bag rolls – trim to your perfect size for zero waste and maximum efficiency

All bags are BPA-free, so you can store everything from leftovers to luxury cuts without worry.

Ditch the Drips and Dull Lunches – b.box is the Clever Aussie Brand Revolutionising School Gear

Leave a comment

If you’re a parent, you’ll know the daily struggle: soggy sandwiches, leaky bottles, and lunchboxes that barely survive a term. Enter b.box – a smart, kid-focused brand founded by two Australian mums with one mission in mind: to make parenting that little bit easier.

Now available in over 55 countries, b.box is winning over families with their practical, well-designed essentials that combine functionality, independence and fun. And if you’re looking for a better way to keep your child hydrated and well-fed throughout the school day, the b.box Tritan drink bottle and b.box lunchbox are absolute game changers.

Let’s talk about the b.box Tritan drink bottle (£19.99 from Amazon). First up, it doesn’t just look cool with its triangular design – that shape actually makes it easier for little hands to grip. Whether it’s being hauled around the playground or slotted into a schoolbag, it’s lightweight, durable, and most importantly: leakproof when closed. That means no more puddles in the bottom of the bag!

Key features:

  • Easy push-button lid and carry handle

  • Soft silicone straw for easy sipping

  • Protective base bumper absorbs drops and knocks

  • Made from ultra-tough Tritan™

  • Top rack dishwasher safe

It’s the kind of bottle you’ll only need to buy once – unless of course, you want one in every colour!

Say goodbye to squashed sandwiches and hello to a fresh-packed lunch that actually survives the school day. The b.box lunchbox (£19.99 from Amazon) is an absolute revelation – designed with compartments that make sense for real food, not just dry crackers and grapes.

What sets it apart?

  • Customisable layout with sliding dividers

  • Room for a whole sandwich, bagel or wrap

  • Comes with a gel ice pack to keep food fresh

  • Whole fruit compartment with a flexible silicone lid

  • Leakproof design for yoghurts and even watermelon

  • Top rack dishwasher safe

It’s lunch prep made simple – and snack time made joyful.

Why b.box Deserves a Spot in Every Family's Routine

 

Both the bottle and the lunchbox are designed with one thing in mind: making life easier for parents and more independent for kids. They’re tough enough to handle a tumble, smart enough to keep food fresh, and stylish enough that your kids will actually want to use them.

At £19.99 each, they’re not the cheapest options on the shelf – but when you factor in the clever design, durability and no-spill peace of mind, b.box products are well worth the investment.

Final Thoughts from The Gadget Man

I love a product that quietly solves a problem without overcomplicating things. The b.box Tritan bottle and lunchbox don’t try to reinvent the wheel – they just make it roll a lot smoother. Whether you’re kitting out your child for school, day trips or picnics in the park, these are two items I can confidently recommend.

Clever design, thoughtful features, and no more soggy sandwiches. What’s not to love?
