The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2021 - Issue 30

bitegifts MenKind G ift and gadget retailer MenKind is about fun, geeking out and allowing us to embrace our inner child. They stock original gifts for original people, which range from license products, to person- alised items, to tech. The brand started in 2001 as a gift shop that offered ‘I’d-really-like-that-for-myself ’ kind of gifts which has remained their passion. “We aim to offer an all-out fun experience for anyone who shops with us.” They have shops across England, Scotland and Wales and concessions in Hamleys and Selfridges. They have some practical and fun Christmas ideas including the Floating Globe by Ingenious, a floating globe desk light that hovers in mid-air thanks to clever magnets. It has LED lights in the cradle and plugs into UK mains. Another similar piece is the Globe Decant- er Set with two matching glasses. It is shaped like the world and contains a glass ship, with the decanter and glasses featuring map-style markings. It also includes a crescent-shaped, wooden stand. The iDance Typhoon 101 Speaker MK3 is an all-out party speaker that lights up for an awesome atmosphere. This wireless sound through Bluetooth, with USB and MP3 inputs, has 100 watts of crystal sound with extra bass. Fizzics DraftPour Beer Dispenser allows beer fans to get draft beer from a can or bottle by simply sticking the beer in, closing it and pouring from the tap. It works with cans, 500 ml or 750 ml bottles and uses patented Micro-Foam technology to enhance the flavour, aroma and mouthfeel. Get the tension out of your shoulders or neck with the multi-use Mini Massage Cushion that has four pressure points, optional ‘heat mode’ for aches and is powered by a UK mains adaptor. How about the Lazy Man Frying Pan, a five-compartment die-cast aluminium cookware with a soft-touch ergonomic handle and induction steel base? This Xylan non-sticking pan makes cleaning eas- ier and is suitable for all hob types including induction. It will also dramatically reduce your washing up pile.
