Guest Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I'm sure there is probably already a present topic, but I can't find it.... I got one of THESE for Christmas from chookiehubbie - it is ABSOLUTLEY fantastic - cuppa in just a few seconds, and no wasting water if you have a bad habit of boiling too much water everytime you want a coffee.

Egluntyne Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Gosh! Three seconds eh? Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 We looked at those,but what put us off is that the water doesn't quite reach boiling point It does look good though, & when my horrid Tesco kettle breaks down I may well got one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 We had a look at these when our kettle went pop. I was a bit scared of the kids pressing buttons (as is there habit) and pouring hot water over themselves. they do seem fab though maybe if I drank lots of tea.....

Paola Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I like the sound of that. One of my fav xmas prezzies was a grooming kit for the new love of my life Vasco. (Horse, who will be arriving early next year!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Snap, I got exactly the same thing. MIL decided that it was perfect for me because I'm renowned for my habit of deciding that I'd like a cuppa, switching the kettle on, going to do something else whilst it boils, forgetting about the kettle, only remembering when the water's tepid, switching the kettle on, going to so something else etc . Hubby maintains that I boil the kettle half a dozen times before he actually ever gets a cuppa made by me . That is an exaggeration I swear . Anyway, ideal pressie. But mine leaks . From the bottom, great puddles of water, really impossible to use, so I'm well fed up. Hubby's going to try to get the receipt from MIL so that I can exchange it.

Mrs Frugal Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I can't decide - I love my radiowave weather station, apple tree and day at a local spa We've bought ourselves a fruit tree as an anniversary present for the last few years. It's nice to have something growing as a reminder of another year of married life . I've got Christmas money to spend and absolutely no idea what to spend it on! I am determined not to fritter it away on tat or buy anything which won't get used. Difficult, isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
