Salt and pepper badgers

Badgers! Badgers on my dinner table! You know what this badger cruet set from the V&A means? You're one step closer to recreating The Animals of Farthing Wood while you eat your cheese on toast. You didn't even know you wanted to do that, did you? Here's a little reminder of how good it was:



This is a perfectly good reason to buy badgers, isn't it? They're £16 and you could also make them have badger fights. That's another very good reason. Especially if you make one them hide behind the ketchup. They're clever, badgers are. They're stealthy.

Oh, and you can use them as a salt and pepper set if you really must. Jeez, why are you trying to ruin all the fun?

Apples and Pears! Culinary Concepts' Cruet Set

The apple and pears cruet set is rather fancy, isn't it? It's silver-plated for a start (yes, plate anything in silver and I think it's fancy, what's your point?). Culinary Concepts have taken a really simple idea and turned it into something very pretty indeed. I like the pear the best.


It's quirky, but still something you'd want on your kitchen table. And it's only £25.95 for the set as well. Perfect for all of those summery wedding presents you've got to buy.
