Housewise • Our bite-sized round-up of EVERYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK

Power tools • Christmas cooking is full-on and often stressful, but having the right tool for the job can make the prep go much more smoothly. Make sure you have these utensils in your kitchen kit.

Little chefs • The busy cook’s secret weapon at Christmas, saving time, energy and oven space — we tested more than 70 models in our kitchen and these are the GHI’s top air fryers.

Flavour-packed roasted wedges • No need to parboil and ready in under 30min? If you’re all about minimum faff, then these air fryer roast potato wedges are for you. Goose fat or beef dripping will add lots of flavour, but you can cook without fat, if you prefer.

Over here, Santa! • If you’ve been nice this year, hang up one of these colourful stockings. From stripes to patchwork and charming florals, there’s a design to match your decor — plus they’re large enough to deliver plenty of treats!

Ultimate foodie gifts • If you’re struggling to think of a gift for the food lover in your life, why not consider a hamper? Spend a weekend making a batch of Christmas treats, wrap them in festive packaging and nestle in straw hampers or decorative boxes. You only need five or six things. Here are some of our favourite ideas.

Hot seats • In need of some extra chairs for all the guests coming around this festive season? Invest in some stools or benches that can multitask or be easily put away when no longer needed

Walk the walk • Itching to get out into the great outdoors? The GHI experts clambered up hills and stomped through muddy fields to find the walking boots that will take you from A to B in comfort and style.
