Another Black Friday hopeful, this gorgeous linen tablecloth was involved in the sales last year, so we’re crossing our fingers for this year.

“Am I in denial that Christmas is coming? Yes. Am I going to leave all my Christmas shopping to the last minute? Also yes. But one thing I always look forward to is planning my Christmas table! And this year it wouldn’t be complete without this chic linen tablecloth in ‘sand’ from Aura Home. I can just picture it now, styled with some greenery (and bonbons, of course!). It’s the perfect addition to any tablescape. If you’re like me and adore vintage linen then this tablecloth is for you.” — Emily Murray, Social Media Producer

“Smoothies and milkshakes…summer…need I say more? I’m planning on picking up what I’m sure will quickly be my favourite appliance: the Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro, engineered with noise-dampening materials, it delivers a noticeably quieter blending experience. It can make smoothies, milkshakes, and pretty much any ice-cold drink you can dream up. Plus, the one-touch Auto-iQ programs do the yard hards. What more could you want? All of the parts are also dishwasher-safe. Tick, tick, tick and tick.” — Danielle Grover, Senior Digital Writer

“Considering my current kettle was not purchased but rather found (on the side of the road, no less), it’s probably about time I bought a nice, new and stylish kettle. This retro-style model from Smeg is a classic for a reason. I’m certain tea will taste better once I have this bad boy in my kitchen.” — Grace Flynn, Digital Writer

Last year this Laguiole cutlery set was discounted by 50%. You can bet we’ll be bookmarking this one.

“There’s nothing wrong with my current cutlery – a classic Jamie Oliver set I ‘splurged’ on back when I first moved out of home, peppered with a few random additions we’ve collected over the years. But it just doesn’t spark joy in the way it used to, and I think I’m ready for something a little more grown up. A little more of a ‘moment’.”

“This delightful Laguiole set from Jean Dubost is on my wishlist and you bet I’ll be taking advantage of the huge Black Friday sales to make it mine. Expertly handcrafted in France, this 24-piece set which includes six knives, forks, dessert spoons and teaspoons is timeless, elegant and perfect for daily use.” — Bella Westaway, Senior Digital Writer

Colours: Beige, Black.

Material: ABS stainless steel, plastic.

Key features:

• Handmade in France
• Premium quality

Le Creuset is a frequenter of Black Friday sales, which is great news for this wishlist!

“When it comes to making delicious food, every cook worth their salt will tell you that your roasting pan matters. If you’re still using a baking tray you picked up from the supermarket for under $20, no judgement, but you’ll be shocked by how much your cooking improves when you switch to something a little more premium.”

“I love this one from Le Creuset mainly because of its uncoated base, which makes it perfect for searing and caramelising, which is where all the flavour comes from! Plus, it’s big enough to fit in hefty roasts, can be moved from the oven to the cooktop for preparing gravy, and has some big old handles which make lifting it much safer and more convenient. Oh! And it’s dishwasher safe, which is kind of a game changer.”— Bella Westaway, Senior Digital Writer

“After an almost 10-year hiatus, I’m back into baking and as part of my return to the world of making sweet treats, I’ve been seriously considering investing in what can only be described as the Lamborghini of bakeware; the iconic KitchenAid stand mixer. If you’re not familiar, this gorgeous piece of machinery makes light work out of batters and doughs and looks darn good on any benchtop. It’s also currently reduced by a whopping $400, which means you’re saving money if you buy it. Right?” — Grace Flynn, Digital Writer
