Hands Off The Housework

Housework’s obviously out of the question (especially when Mum’s this relaxed) – unless it’s the hands-free variety. Keep mum’s feet firmly up with the slog-saving Ecovacs DEEBOT U2 Robotic Vacuum to make short work of hard floors and carpets; a self-cleaning pyrolytic oven that turns grease ’n’ grime into ash; or a Wi-Fi-controlled LG QuadWash Dishwasher that she can switch on from her smartphone (after you’ve loaded it up for her first, naturally!).

Dim the lights and close strong with some family movie time (let Mum pick the flick for a change). Shoot for Gold Class vibes by optimising your TV set-up with a state-of-the-art sound bar – or invest in a Samsung The Freestyle Portable Smart FHD Projector for cinema-quality films that you can enjoy on a projector screen or any plain white wall. Feeling snackish? Whip up some oozy, air-fried halloumi sticks and crispy, sweet potato chips in the Tefal Easy Fry Classic Air Fryer. With a 4.2 litre capacity and little to no cooking oil required, it’s the healthier way to fry, roast, bake and grill up your favourite foods to perfection.
