Kaboodle: like Facebook, but about shopping

Oh yes, the consumer now has their very own social networking site called Kaboodle. Just like any other site of it’s type users can sign up and create a profile, what makes Kaboodle so special is that you can create lists of products you have bought, hope to buy, and dreaming of buying. Now this might not sound very exciting at first, but when you consider that you can upload any product onto your page, and then discuss whether you like it or hate it, Kaboodle suddenly sounds a lot more fun.

Handy for writing your Christmas, Birthday or Wedding list, you can share your lists and equally see other peoples. Having played on Kaboodle for a bit I have found that it is great for finding products you would not normally think of and more importantly, new shops.

Whilst Kaboodle is mainly focused on USA at the moment, a few UK suppliers have started listing their products and ChichesterCookshop.co.uk has registered as a brand. Visit our page and see what its about, you can become a fan and be updated regularly on products, or add our things to your Wish List for Christmas. We have also put a Kaboodle button in the ‘Share’ feature on our website so it’s easy to upload new things to you’re profile.

I am very excited about this shopping revolution, especially as I can now visit and show my love for my favourite independent retailers from my desk.

The era of the Glamour Nanny is upon us

The lovely people at Typhoon have realised that just because people want to be a bit green and not use plastic bags, it doesn’t mean they want a bad back and unfortunate style. Armed with this gem of information Typhoon have redesigned the shopping trolley and made it not only practical for supermarket shopping, but also STYLISH!

The lightweight trolley is extremely spacious inside (a bit like the tardis) and has two inner pockets as well as a fully insulated cool bag. The top fastens with a drawstring, which is perfect for squishing in those last minute Christmas purchases, and the Velcro flap will keep everything safe and dry. Scouts Promise.

If your Nan isn’t impressed by the trolley already, then she will be when she finds out that it folds away for easy storage.

So whether your are a Yummy Mummy, a Glamorous Granny or an Eco-Style-Conscious Shopper this lightweight easy to manoeuvre trolley is your Christmas vehicle of choice.
Oh, and did I mention it comes in polka-dots as well?
