Special Offers and Gift Ideas

‘Christmas is getting earlier every year!’ At times it certainly does feel that Christmas is actually getting earlier every year. Although there are still just over four weeks to go until Christmas at Pots and Pans we have been busy preparing for it for a considerable period of time. The weeks leading up to Christmas are usually among our busiest.

Looking at people’s shopping habits it would appear that most people prefer to avoid doing their Christmas shopping at the last moment. The busiest weeks in the run up to Christmas are traditionally the last week of November and the first week of December. This would suggest that the majority of people don’t leave their Christmas shopping until the last moment. There will always be some people who sadly do leave their Christmas gift buying right up to the very last moment possible. We expect to receive some phone calls on Christmas Eve wondering if they buy something on the website will able to deliver it gift wrapped before Christmas.

We have worked hard to make sure that we offer the right special offers over this period. We have also decided to make it easier for you to find the ideal present by adding a page full of Great Gift Ideas to our website.

The Cole & Mason King Pepper Baseball Bat is currently one of our best selling items. It would appear from the feedback that we have been receiving from our customers that a lot of people are going to be getting one of these as a Christmas present this year. Alessi and Dunoon mugs are a present that we are expecting to see a lot of people receive on Christmas Day. Although popular throughout the year we have seen a significant increase in the number of orders received recently for anything by Alessi and Dunoon mugs. If the increase in sales of Miniamo is anything to go by we are expecting to see a lot a lot of children receive this for their Christmas. Miniamo has been designed to encourage children to learn cooking and baking.

Another trend that we expect to see this year is a rise in home baking over the festive period. Sales of Nordic Ware cake pans are going through the roof. Their Snowman Bundt Cake Pan and the Holiday Tree Bundt Cake Pan in particular are proving to be very popular.

There are some trends that we see every year and this year has not been any different. The Le Creuset Cast Iron range is still very popular as a Christmas gift. Knife Sets and in particular those from Global Knives and Henckels are proving to be very popular again.

We have done our best to make it as easy as possible you to find the right present at the right price. On the website we are currently selling Global Knife Sets for 50% off their recommended retail price, we have even discounted some Henckels Knife Sets by up to 58% of their recommended retail price. We hope that our efforts will help make it easier for you to find the right Christmas present for your loved ones.

If you have any ideas about what makes a great gift or want to tell us what you would like for Christmas this year feel free to email us and let us know.

New Oxo Good Grips and Miniamo products added to the website.

This week we have expanded the range of Oxo Good Grips products that we stock as well as adding the Miniamo children’s collection to the range of cookware brands that we sell on our online cookware shop.

The Oxo Good Grips range is already one of our best selling ranges. Due to numerous requests from our customers we decided to expand the range of products that we currently stock from this range. We have added an extra 24 products to the products that we already stock on our online cookware shop. New products added to our store include a garlic peeler, a Silicone pastry brush as well as a Mini Squeegee.

Oxo Good Grips produce kitchen utensils that have been designed to make them as easy to use as is possible. Although the initial idea behind their creation was to provide tools that could be used with people with limited dexterity they have been produced so that they can be used by everyone. They are all designed so that they can be used by both right and left handed people. Oxo Good Grips products have won numerous awards including one from the Arthritis Foundation.

Miniamo is the latest range that we have added to our online cookware shop. The Miniamo children’s collection features a wide range of colourful products that have been designed to encourage children to have fun as well as learn when cooking, baking or even when eating. The products have all been designed with the specific goal of helping to fire the imagination of children with regards to food. As well being designed to be fun all the products within the range are also practical. As well as apron and chef’s hat sets the range also includes mixing bowls, whisks, mixing spoons and preparation boards. Everything that a child needs to start cooking or baking has been included in the Miniamo collection.

We will over the coming weeks continue to expand the selection of brands that we sell on the website. If there are any particular ranges that you would like to see added to our online cookware shop then let us know, we always welcome your feedback.
