Stojo Collapsible Cup

Here at The Amazing Blog, we live very busy lives. More often than not, we are taking our things on-the-go and running out the door. For times like these, it’s very important to us to have things that are functional and practical at the same time. For this reason, we were extremely excited when our good friends at Bear & Bear sent us the Stojo Collapsible Cup.

This cup is designed to eliminate waste from disposable coffee cups while being super-compact and portable. The unique design allows for the silicone body of the cup to collapse down to a two-inch disc that can be stowed in your bag or your pocket when you’re busy being busy. The rigid lid is leak-proof and the cup also features a rigid thermal sleeve that slides onto the body of the cup when in use and slots into the bottom of the collapsed cup when not in use. It’s also microwave and dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean!

If you’re trying to eliminate excess waste from disposable cups, try out this nifty travel cup here for £15.

Adnams Ghost Ship Crisps - Fairfields Farm Crisps

If you’re looking for crisps with a difference, we at The Amazing Blog think we’ve found them! Fairfields Farm Crisps has teamed up with local brewers Adnams to take the concept of a pint and crisps to the next level. Introducing the Adnams Ghost Ship crisps, a pale ale flavoured crisp that makes for a “hauntingly good snack”.

These crisps are definitely like nothing we’ve tasted before, they have a subtle malted barley flavour that pairs perfectly with a cold pint. We also think they’d be perfectly suited for dipping into a light tzatziki sauce, as the distinctive bitter beer flavor would be brightened with the refreshing qualities of yogurt and cucumbers.

Fairfields Farm has built its reputation on great tasting, quality crisps with local flavourings, and these Ghost Ship pale alecrisps don’t disappoint. Pick up a packet or two from a local deli or farm shop nationwide, or at an Adnams store.
