Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week

DRINK

HOW’S this for the ultimate luxury hot chocolate? Simply pour hot milk on to a Baileys Chocolate Bombe, £5 for three, and it will melt the Baileys-infused milk chocolate sphere, releasing delicious mini marshmallows into your drink. Perfect to warm you up on a cold winter’s night. Find it in Morrisons and Asda.

PLAY

WE’RE big fans of Exploding Kittens – the witty and clever card game where the aim of the game is to, you guessed it, not explode. Now the game’s iconic artwork has been turned into jigsaws just in time for Christmas. The 1,000-piece Great Wave of Cat-a-gawa, £18 (exploding kittens.com) will keep you busy for the whole festive period.

TREAT

THIS chocolate has your name on it… The Branded Goods Co specialises in personalised gifts from Cadburys, from chocolate bouquets to jumbo-sized bars. This Christmas Dairy Milk Share Pack, £19.99, contains 10 bars of chocolate and would make the perfect gift – perhaps for yourself! Visit thebrandedgiftco.com for more details.

EAT

ALTERNATIVELY if you have someone who prefers a bit of spice in their life, why not surprise them with a personalised bottle of their favourite Nando’s sauce. With four flavours to choose from – Lemon & Herb; Medium; Garlic and Hot – there is something for everyone. £10 from shop. nandos.co.uk
