Add-Ons Under £20

Everything here is under £20 and chosen for one reason: it is genuinely useful to almost anyone, not just the person who already owns a particular machine or oven. A good tea towel, a proper dough scraper, a decent pair of tongs, these are the things worth adding while you are already checking out, rather than remembering three weeks later that you meant to order one. Nothing on this page needs you to own a specific piece of equipment first for it to make sense, so it is a good page to browse whatever else is in your basket.

Kitchen Basics Worth Having

Scrapers, tongs, graters and a decent peeler earn their place in most kitchens whether or not pasta is on the menu that night. The kitchen utensils and food preparation tools collections cover the rest of the range if something here leads you to want more.

For the Table

Tea towels, placemats and napkins are the sort of thing everyone owns a few of and nobody ever has quite enough of, and a set of serving boards or an espresso cup and saucer dresses up a table with almost no effort. See the full range in napkins and tablecloths and serveware and boards.

For Opening a Bottle

A corkscrew, a wine saver or a couple of beer bottle openers are the kind of thing you only think about buying when you are already without one, so it rarely hurts to have a spare in a drawer. The full range is in Pulltex wine accessories.

Buying for Someone Else?

If you are shopping for a gift rather than your own kitchen, Gifts Under £20 and the wider Italian kitchen gifts collection are worth a look alongside this one.
