The Contas Soap Dish from Zack. A simple, yet stylish, soap dish with a lower receptacle to catch drips, drops and soapy residue. Easily dismantles for washing.

Finished in diamond polished (that’s shiny rather than brushed but not quite a mirror finish) 18/10 stainless steel it has an 11.0cms diameter and is 3.0cms high. It even comes in a top quality box so you could buy this for yourself but it would equally make a great, albeit practical, gift.

It’s always the same, you take a hot roasting tray from the oven or a pan from the hob and you need to set it down on your worktop and, unless you are a Delia in the making, inevitably you are then scrabbling around looking for something that you can place it on.

Rescue is at hand with the fabulously simple and very stylish Storo Pot Holders from Zack.

What a clever idea! How many times have you hunted for that coffee scoop that you know is in the cutlery drawer “somewhere”? It’s sorted. Zack has come up with a novel idea to attach the scoop to your coffee canister so that you know exactly where that scoop is, this time and every time.

A silicone band, complete with a scoop fixing, is placed around your coffee canister. In reality it may be a “posh” elastic band but they say that the simple ideas are always the best and this would seem to fall directly into that category.

The scoop itself is manufactured in Zack’s trademark 18/10 stainless steel with a brushed finish. It has a standard 7.5g capacity and the whole thing even comes gift boxed. A great and slightly unusual gift idea!

The Linus salt and pepper cruet set from Zack is fabulous and a definite talking point at any dinner table.

Sitting on its stand, the sleek pencil-like look is artistic to say the least and as it is manufactured in high quality brushed stainless steel it adds weight, both physically and figuratively, as it shouts out to be looked at, admired and of course used!

It’s also gift boxed so if you are looking for something a little different for that upcoming birthday then look no further.

The eagerly awaited Facile Electric Salt and Pepper Mills from Zack have now been released and are available from Proleno.

Launched at Frankfurt back in the autumn to much applause they will set the standard for high quality electric salt and pepper grinding during the 2010 season.

Of course, they have a hard act to follow as they replace the outstanding Zack Sicuro range which has recently been discontinued.

The new version has the same style, the same class and the same attention to detail as its predecessor and thankfully hasn’t fallen into that rather silly idea of lighting up when in use. Novel, yes, but very quickly boring and, frankly, if it’s that dark, turn the light on!

The Facile has a contemporary look and feel to it with a large flush button for ease of use as well as a simple, yet clever, little tray to sit in when not in use.
