Gift Ideas for your Mum, Sister, Girlfriend or Wife

The special ladies in your life are often the most deserving of a thoughtful gift at Christmas time, but sometimes they are also the hardest to buy for. How about giving them a gift they’ll truly adore and more importantly use. Hair styling products are at the top of many people’s wish lists this year and luckily there’s something in the Remington hair care range for just about everyone’s needs.

FABULOUS HAIR WHEREVER YOU GO

Whether your loved one is travelling for work, leisure or even just one night away, chances are they’ll need to do their hair in the morning. This is where a styling gift pack is a lifesaver. The all-time favourite AIR3D, with a unique 3D airflow path, now comes in the premium pearl white with a matching travel size straightener. This compact styling gift pack is the perfect travelling duo with their own travel case, making it even easier for your loved one to take their favourite hair tools anywhere they go.

FROM PARTY-READY CURLS TO SUPER SLEEK STRAIGHT HAIR WITH EASE

If you know someone who doesn’t want to spend their whole morning or night styling their hair, or perfecting the exact way to flick a traditional straightener to create party curls, then the Remington Curl & Straight Confidence is for them. The unique 2 in 1 design, means you can work waves, create coveted curls, or have super sleek straight hair all with the one device. The twisted plates help those that normally struggle to curl their hair with straighteners. As an added bonus the ultra-smooth, ceramic coated plates are infused with anti-static tourmaline to help combat frizz.

THE HOME HAIRDRESSER

Ok, we all know a budding home hairdresser. Whether they’re saving time by cutting their kids hair, practicing their skills on their partner’s hair, or saving money by giving the family dog a quick trim. A home grooming kit is a handy device practically every home should have. The Remington High Precision Haircut Kit features 24 pieces, making maintaining various hair lengths and trimming around the ears as easy as ever. It also features a premium chrome finish and stainless steel blades that self-sharpen and never need oiling.

GENTLE STRAIGHT HAIR

Smooth, sleek, straight hair never goes out of fashion. Yet, regular straightening with heat can damage your hair if you don’t protect it. Daily styling can sometimes mean you lose that natural sheen and experience colour fading. If your loved one is grappling with these issues with their current straightener, you’ll want to look at the Infinite Protect Straightener. This little beauty lets you style whilst keeping your hair looking healthy and vibrant. The Infinite Protect Straightener has an Intelligent Sensor and Advanced Ceramic coated plates infused with Shea Oil & U.V. filters. Basically this means your hair has 2.5x more protection and 5x longer lasting colours*.

Breathe Easy this Christmas

An Australian Christmas can mean an abundance of impurities in the air at this time of year. There’s a lot of pollen and dust around, both popular irritants triggering allergies and if you’re in the east of Australia there’s smoke and ash from the bush fires wreaking havoc on the air quality this year.

Experts will tell you there is little we can do to minimise the effects of exposure to these air impurities while outside. This is particularly bad news for those who suffer from allergies, asthma or other respiratory issues. One of the best ways to create an environment that will let us breathe easy is with air purifiers.

Dyson have created some efficient and stylish air purifiers featuring the essential HEPA filter. HEPA stands for high-efficiency particulate air. A HEPA filter is a type of air filter that works by forcing air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and smoke. Dyson Pure Cool Me Personal Purifying Fan is designed with an activated carbon and glass HEPA filter which captures gases and 99.95% of ultra fine particles from the air around you. It also has a clever night setting so you can set the sleep timer for between 15 minutes and 8 hours, meaning you can keep cool and comfortable during the night.

If you want a fan that does the whole job and more you’ll want a Dyson Pure Hot+Cool™ Purifier Fan Heater. It is Dyson’s latest purifying fan technology and automatically purifies the whole room, while also cooling you in summer or heating you in winter. It is so clever it can automatically detect airborne particles and gases, diagnose and report them in real time; allowing you to monitor the air quality through the Dyson Link app.

You can rest easy knowing Dyson purifiers are certified asthma and allergy friendly by Airmid Healthgroup laboratories and Sensitive Choice approved by National Asthma Council Australia.

Another great way to battle irritants is to keep your house free of them. The best way to remove surface dust can be done by a quality vacuum cleaner designed to get all the dust, pollen, pet hair and grime. Dyson comes to the rescue again with a vacuum cleaner for every job and person.

The Dyson V11 Absolute handstick is a completely cordless vacuum designed for the whole house. It’s long stick design means it can reach into all the corners of your home – both high and low and with the push of a button can be transformed into a handheld vacuum – perfect for a quick clean of the car. It is also great on carpets and hardwood floors. Stiff nylon bristles drive deep into carpet to remove ground-in dirt. Soft, anti-static carbon fibre filaments capture dust from hard floors and crevices. Full-width brush bar cleans right to the edges.

If you have a big house with a variety of floor types to clean, then the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Multi Vacuum is your work horse. This vacuum has a large high capacity bin and with the Dyson’s Ball technology it can manoeuvre easily around furniture, corners and will pick themselves up if knocked over.

Do you have a home filled with the love of the family dog or cat but plagued with the never-ending build-up of pet hair that comes along with it? Getting the stubborn hair out of carpet and furniture is a breeze for the Dyson Ball Animal Upright. This powerful vacuum is designed for a home with pets. While it can do everything a Dyson is expected to do the Dyson Ball Animal Upright has been built to achieve the strongest suction of any vacuum. With its self-adjusting cleaner head and re-engineered brush bar, bristles dig deeper into carpets to remove more dust and dirt. And the Tangle-free Turbine tool has counter-rotating heads with brushes to remove hair and dirt from carpets and upholstery.

Finally, the Dyson V7 Trigger Handheld is perfect for smaller homes, dedicated rooms, or the car. It is light, ergonomically designed and cord-free – making it hassle free. It is perfect to grab for the regular clean ups in the kitchen. Or use the crevice tool to reach awkward gaps and small cracks. Or simply make your life easier and use the combination tool to gently dust in the home and car.

Headphones Christmas Gift Guide

The way we consume media and entertainment changes from decade to decade. The one thing that doesn’t change is our love of audio. It started with the early vinyl records allowing music to be enjoyed in the home, and the AM radio band delivering news and radio-serials into wirelesses across Australia. Then we listened on more portable devices – transistor radios, Walkmans, and iPods. We now embrace audiobooks, podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, and the multitude of other streaming services available.
One thing integral to our modern experience of sound is the headphones we use. Whilst you may start off using the headphones included with your phone purchase, you should know there’s a world of enhanced audio experiences out there which will not only enrich what you’re listening too, but can make the experience easier and hassle-free. Headphones are now used in a variety of ways and for different reasons. Here’s our top headphone gift-guide for your loved ones this Christmas.

TRULY WIRELESS

Wireless headphones provide users with the experience of complete cordless freedom. How often have you taken your headphones out of your bag to find them in a tangled mess? If you’re looking for a gift for someone who will love the idea of no more tangled wires and prefer untied movement, wireless headphones is the pick for them. Wireless headphones can be in-ear, on-ear or over-ear styles, so you can still opt for your favourite design without sacrificing comfort, portability or sound quality.

Bing Lee has a huge range of wireless earbud headphones to suit everyone, and the Urbanista Stockholm True Wireless in ear headphones is a great example of how freeing these type of headphones can be. Stockholm True Wireless allows you easy access to adjust volume, switch tracks, and answer calls with just a touch. With a 3.5-hour playtime and a slim charging case that gives you 3 additional charges, you have a total of 14 hours playtime. Simply charge your headphones, connect your Bluetooth and you’re ready to go. Going wireless is perfect for working out or multitasking without having to stop and detangle cables.

NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES

If the person you’re buying for travels often or lives in a busy household, noise cancelling headphones is what they need for undisturbed audio. Instead of forcing you to turn the volume up, noise cancelling headphones use clever technology to make your surroundings quiet. Environmental noise is reduced thanks to tightly-sealed ear cups, filtering guards or other design features. They drown out the rumble of a train carriage or plane engine so you can relax as you travel.

The Panasonic HTX90N embraces the much loved and well known design of retro headphones. These wireless headphones have a noise cancelling function to immerse you in a dynamic, high quality world of music no matter the background noise. The retro shape and classic colours mixed with the latest audio technology means the HTX90N headphones deliver enduring timeless value. Noise cancelling headphones come in a variety of styles from on-ear and over-ear to completely wireless. Bin Lee has a great range of noise cancelling earphones from brands such as Audio-Technica, B&O Play and Sony — all available in-store and online at Bing Lee.

IN-EAR HEADPHONES

In-ear headphones can otherwise be known as “earphones” or “earbuds”. They’re the headphones that sit snug inside your ear canal. Despite their mere size, in-ear headphones produce great sound clarity and quality. They’re the most portable type of headphones because they’re lightweight and conveniently small to carry. In-ear headphones are great for frequent travellers, commuters and students. Many designs have an integrated microphone so that you can also take and end calls easily.

If this sounds like the ideal gift then the urBeats Headphones will be a great pick for delivering amazing sound and style, plus tangle-free cords. They are designed for music lovers who also want the combination of sound and style – they make a great gift for the teenagers and students. UrBeats deliver pure audio in an ultra-lightweight and durable package. The tangle-free cable with built-in-mic will also help you effortlessly switch between music and calls so you can enjoy premium, uninterrupted sound.

Another great use for in-ear Bluetooth headphones is for runners and gym-goers. They’re cleverly designed to fit comfortably and withstand physical movement as you work out. Check our Bing Lee’s full range or in-ear headphones in-store or online.

OVER-EAR HEADPHONES

Looking for a gift that is not only a dream to wear but timeless? Over-ear headphones are the most comfortable type of headphones. They’re the most padded along the headband and in the ear cups, making them a clear front-runner in the comfort category. Aside from their good fit, over-ear headphones deliver rich, dynamic bass and well-balanced audio – making them the perfect headphone gift if you’re unsure of the tastes of the person you’re buying for.

The Sennheiser HD 4 series of Wireless Bluetooth headphone is a gift any music lover will cherish. You can use it at home, in the office, or you can take it with you. Versatile and vibrant, the new HD 4 series offers you the complete Sennheiser quality package in a range of durable, closed-back over-ear headsets that fulfill the needs of a music lover who leads a mobile life. And don’t forget the amazing sound experience, powered by proprietary Sennheiser drivers. Over-ear headphones are versatile and perfect for any sound. Rock, hip-hop, metal, electronica and other bass-driven music all sound as premium as possible when listened to through over-ear and on-ear headphones. Find out which one will make the perfect gift in-store at Bing Lee or online.

SPORTS HEADPHONES

Australia is a nation that loves its sport. When we’re not playing our sport outside, we’re busy enjoying the great outdoors any way we can – rain hail or shine. So, if you’re looking for a gift for someone whose routine takes place both in and out of the water, headphones like the JBL Endurance DIVE is designed to keep up with them. These nifty little headphones open up a world of workout options with an IPX7 waterproof rating. Its sleek PowerHook™ design powers on automatically when you slip it behind your ear, while a secure wireless neckband keeps it in place. An added bonus is you can leave your device behind because it has a 1 gigabyte memory storage (up to 200 music tracks), accessed with touch controls. Plus with the 8 hours of battery, Dive is ready to hit the pool, track, and gym all in one day.

Discover Bing Lee’s full range of sports headphones which will make an ideal gift for the fitness guru in your life.

 

Kitchen Christmas Gift Ideas From Breville

The most loved room in any home is by far the kitchen. It’s the heart of the home and where many of us spend a lot of our time. For good reason it makes sense to equip our kitchens with the finest and smartest appliances in to make our daily routine stress-free and enjoyable. When you look closely you’ll find elements of every individual in the household in one kitchen. From the appliances to the utensils – the items we place in our kitchen help us to pursue the lives we want to live. So, if you’re looking for Christmas gifts ideas for you or someone else, we’ve got a Breville kitchen item for every personality.

THE SMOOTHIE ENTHUSIAST

We need to acknowledge and fully embrace the smoothie movement. Smoothie making is incredibly popular for a number of reasons – they taste great, it is a good way of sneaking in fruit and vegetables we (or our kids) wouldn’t normally eat, they are a perfect cool summer drink, and they are a great addition to a healthy diet. The Breville 3X Bluicer Pro is one of the hottest Christmas gift items on the market because of its sheer versatility. This high performance blender juicer features Breville’s Kinetix® contoured blade & bowl system and a 88mm extra wide chute. With Cold Spin Technology®, 5 one-touch programs and 10 precision speed control, you can extract fresh juice straight into a high capacity 1.5 litre blender jug and create delicious fresh, slushies, smoothies, cocktails and much more.

THE FUSSY EASTER

Sometimes you need an item that can prepare all the food on a fussy eaters menu. This will be the answer to a lot of fussy food frustrations. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer has 10 cooking functions to guide you to perfection: Toast 6 slices, Crumpet, Grill, Bake, Roast, Warm, Pizza, Airfry, Reheat and Slow Cook for long cook times, at low temperatures. When all you want is warm crispy chips, the Smart Oven Air Fryer can turn out guilt-free french fries, chicken wings, family favourites using higher temperatures combined with super convection (maximised air flow) to deliver delicious, crispy golden air fried foods.

THE COFFEE LOVER

A barista will quickly tell you the most important ingredient to deliver an amazing espresso is to use fresh beans and to grind them as close to the time of use as possible. To get the best result it’s best to limit the time between grinding and extraction to seconds, not minutes. That’s why the Breville Barista Express™ espresso machine is a coffee lover’s dream. The in-built conical burr grinder allows you to grind only what you need directly into the porta filter. It’s fully adjustable in grind size and dose, so you can tweak to taste. The patented Razor™ dosing tool trims the puck for consistent extraction, while PID digital temperature control delivers accurate water temperature throughout the extraction.

THE BAKER

The talented baker in the household will adore the Breville Bakery Boss Stand Mixer for Christmas; plus, giving this as a gift almost entirely guarantees an increase in tasty baked goods available to sample in the future. This heavy duty mixer does all the hard work for you. Using the glass bowl you can witness the effect of the 1200 watt torque motor and 100% metal gears take charge of even the heaviest dough and batters. The Bakery Boss® replicates the same planetary mixing action as commercial mixers with a counter-clockwise mixing head and anti-clockwise sweeping action of wide attachments to ensure 360 degrees coverage of the entire bowl. Breville’s revolutionary double scraper beater wipes the sides and bottom of the bowl with every turn. Not only does it leave ingredients aerated and mixed better, but there’s now no need to stop and scrape down the bowl with a spatula.

THE MEAL PREP

In our fast paced lifestyles, the option to plan ahead and ‘meal prep’ is fast becoming a popular approach to the weekly meals. This is when a slow cooker comes in handy – and it can be used all year round from winter to summer. The Breville Combination Pressure and Slow Cooker The Fast Slow Pro, is the perfect gift for any dedicated meal prepper. The ‘Fast Slow Pro’ is a multi-cooker that can pressure and slow cook menus and automatically adjust time, temperature and pressure between fast and slow cooking. Dual sensors at the top and bottom monitor ingredients for more accurate temperature and pressure control, while the hands free steam release automatically varies across foods to maximise flavour and texture. So now you can pressure cook, slow cook, steam, reduce, saute and sear with the press of a button and you can rely on the fully interactive LCD to tell you when its building pressure, cooking and releasing steam.

THE HEALTHY EATER

Cooking with steam is one of the healthiest ways to make a meal. It is great for sealing in flavours, moisture and nutrients. This is why a Breville steamer is a great gift for the person who loves to cook and eat cleanly. Breville’s fully BPA free stainless steel Steam Zone™ produces maximum steam in less than 30 seconds which enables home cooks to steam more effectively and efficiently. Providing powerful single layer steaming with independent zones, it is compatible with traditional style bamboo baskets for yum cha inspired dishes. It is perfect for rapid steaming a whole fish or different veggies with a synchronised finish, maximising, taste, texture and health benefits.

Think Smarter, Not Harder when it comes to Floorcare!

The floors in your house are one of the most heavily used items in the home. The daily bustle of feet and shoes, pet paws and furniture movements mean they are under constant wear and tear and will be the first to build up with dirt and grime. Leaving your floors dirty for too long can cause scratches, discolouration and ground-in dirt will ruin your floors. To keep them clean, looking their best and lasting the distance it’s important to think smarter not harder about your floor care.

PICK UP THAT LEGO

It seems obvious but a quick scoot around the house to pick up larger objects like coins, bobby pins or even Lego can go a long way in a streamlined clean. This step is often skipped by many and done on the fly as the vacuum cleaner moves from room to room. This can result in a lot of wasted time picking up items while the vacuum is running. Or it will mean some unwanted items are sucked up the vacuum and may clog or damage the machine… or even worse it will result in you fossicking around the dust chamber to retrieve that pesky bit of Lego.

WHIRLWIND DUST REMOVAL

The most important step with any floor care routine is effective dust removal. Dust and pet hair can be a major cause for allergens in the house. It is also important to remove all dirt before mopping to ensure you aren’t simply moving the bigger chunks of dust and debris around your home. AEROSCIENCE is the name given to LG’s air flow vacuum technology that utilises powerful mini whirlwinds of air to separate out dust particles. The LG Inverter Motor rotates at high speed, creating rapid air flow inside the vacuums cyclone chambers. Meaning you’ll get all that troublesome dust up quickly and efficiently.

DON’T BUMP THE FURNITURE

To avoid bumping the vacuum cleaner into your furniture you can use a clean paintbrush to remove dirt and hair away from the legs of furniture to make vacuuming around difficult objects easier.

HASSLE-FREE MOPPING

Mopping technology has come a long way to make our lives so much easier. No longer will you need a separate clunky mop and bucket to finish off after the vacuuming, with the LG CordZero® A9 Ultimate you’ll reduce your cleaning time by vacuuming and mopping at the same time. The mopping head can be filled with water and the machine automatically adds water to the two rotating mop pads every six to eight seconds, depending on the setting.

GET THE HEIGHT RIGHT

Having a device which will allow for altering the length of the vacuum reach with ease is not only a massive time saver but an accessible option for anyone needing it. The LG CordZero range has a telescopic pipe adjustable to 4 different lengths for added versatility. This option means you can clean stairs and harder to reach places easier, and it is also great for people of all heights or those who may use a wheelchair. Plus, the Opti-balanced Handle has been ergonomically designed to provide comfort and reduce muscle effort while vacuuming.

Hassle-Free Spring Cleaning

Spring has well and truly made itself known. We can start to enjoy our gardens coming to life, the flourishing cherry blossoms and the warmer days tempting us to take a dip at our favourite swim spot.

Spring also serves as the perfect time to fling open your bedroom doors, cupboards and wardrobes and declutter and clean the house thoroughly. Go through all the boxes of odd and ends to be sorted, file all the piles of mixed paperwork, finally dust the often strategically ignored shelves and furniture items around the house and remove all the dust and pet hair hiding in carpet and corners of rooms.

To make your job even easier here’s the low down on Dyson’s best products to help with a spring clean.

GOOD-BYE CORDS

Anyone who has ever vacuumed a house can tell you how inconvenient corded vacuums can be. The sheer limitations caused by the cord length, the need to continually unplug it and plug it back in from room to room. And then there’s the delicate dance you need to engage in as you swerve from side to side to avoid running over the cord as you tango your way around the vacuum cleaner. Dyson allows you to say goodbye to cord hassles and just get on with the job of spring cleaning. Being cordless makes them super portable as well. Some, like the Dyson V7 Cordfree vacuum can even be wall mounted with their charging unit for easy storage. There are a range of heads and accessories that can be used for cleaning carpet, hard floors and hard to reach nooks and crannies. It’s worth noting that being cordless, stick vacuum cleaners do have a limited run time, so make sure they are fully charged before big cleaning jobs and always return them to the charging unit after use.

DUST AWAY ALLERGIES

Giving your house a really good vacuum can help control irritants that contribute to allergies and the nasty hay fever that comes along with spring.

Dust build up can cause a lot of allergy issues for those sensitive to it. The Dyson Soft Dusting Brush attachment is perfectly designed to lightly dust surfaces and makes quick work of hard to clean areas like window blinds. The soft dusting brush gently removes dust and allergens from flat surfaces, delicate areas and upholstery.

You can also try using the Dyson V11 Absolute Cordless vacuum to effectively clean carpeted areas where dust builds up more easily, while also transitioning seamlessly to harder surfaces like wood and tiles. If allergens are a real issue for you, try to vacuum once or twice a week to minimise dust, pollen, skin cells and dust mite droppings.

CATS, CARS AND KIDS

While the bulk of the spring cleaning will involve decluttering, dusting, scrubbing and vacuuming, there are areas of your life that will need cleaning more regularly. Apart from the seemingly endless mess children like to leave behind after every meal or craft session, many cats and dogs will start to shed their winter coats at this time of year. That means a build-up of loose hair balls rolling down the halls mixed with cereal crumbs and left-over glitter.

A portable handheld vacuum cleaner like the Dyson V7 Trigger Handheld is ideal for quick clean ups like these and you can even choose cordless vacuum cleaners designed specifically for pet hair . Handheld vacuums make cleaning easier and more convenient than ever and are also great for hard to reach places like in the car, where corded vacuums are just too big a hassle to use.

 

 

 

The Unmatchable Travel Companion

Whether you’re heading off on a road trip around Australia, or a jaunt across the seas, you’re going to want to take a device that will not only capture your memories, but be your personal guide and travel consultant at the same time.

Gone are the days of packing multiple maps, guidebooks, and cameras for a holiday. The most convenient and best performing option these days is to a smart-device. And when it comes to the ultimate travel companion you need not look any further than the range of OPPO smartphones.

Here’s the top five ways an OPPO smartphone is all you’ll need to optimise and streamline your next travel experience.

Capture those memories

The trusty selfie shot is the staple of every traveler. With the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom you’ll be capturing selfies, landscapes, wildlife and portraits all in stunning clarity with a super HD lens that delivers high resolution and greater colour accuracy for more vivid detail in your photos. A 48MP ultra-clear main camera, 13MP telephoto lens and 8MP wide-angle lens, all make up the Reno 10x Zoom tri-lens setup. By combining three lenses over different focal ranges, this achieves a full bandwidth of 16-160mm, an effective focal length 10 times that of an ultra-wide-angle lens. The tri-camera setup is complemented by dual OIS for ensuring stability, even when fully zoomed during hand-held operation. The technology behind Reno 10x Zoom truly elevates photography to all-new heights.

Explore the nightlife

Most smartphone cameras let you down in lowlight and night photos. The Reno Z is equipped with a Sony IMX586 48MP ultra-clear camera. Its 1/2.0’’ ultra-large sensors and f/1.7 ultra-large aperture combine with MFNR and HDR software algorithms, protects users from over-exposure in order to create stunning detail in low-light conditions. The new addition of AI portrait optimisation for night photography can differentiate between the subject and background, ensuring that skin tone is accurate and delivers a professional photo every time. The Reno Z further minimises shutter speed for night photography without leaving the default camera mode, paving the way for fast and crisp photos.

Protection from drops

There’s a reason the original 35mm travel cameras came with a strap attached. Taking pictures when on the move comes with a major risk of damage due to drops and falls. The OPPO Reno 10x Zoom comes with free-fall protection for free spirited adventurers. The drop protection mechanism for has been engineered to sense in real time when the phone is in free-fall and automatically retracts the camera to prevent damage.

A screen perfect for mapping out your adventure

Navigating on holidays is made even easier with a huge panoramic screen to view your maps on. The OPPO Reno 10x Zoom offers you a completely uninterrupted screen experience. There’s no holes or other distractions and a chin of only 3.5mm height makes a huge screen-to-body ratio of 93.1%. You’ll be able to stay one step ahead when viewing your maps on your OPPO travel guide.

A long lasting battery for exploring

Leave your battery packs and extra cords at home, the OPPO AX5s 4230mAh battery is designed to get you through your day. A long-lasting battery keeps you enjoying every moment with your phone. Whether you’re using GPS, playing games or listening to tunes on a long train trip, or making video calls, now you can do want you want for longer.

Make Mother’s Day Extra Special this year

You’ll also need to arrange a thoughtful, and more importantly, useful gift for mum. This is often made harder if you have a mother who already seems to have everything she needs, so why not consider the latest in health and wellness technology? Your mother might have been responsible for telling you to ‘sit up straight’ as a child, but with more of us working from home at varying office configurations, posture has become an area worth bearing in mind. It is also an area many of us want to improve as we get older. Upright posture strengthens your core, boosts your confidence, and relieves stress from your back and neck. Posture conscious mums will love the UPRIGHT GO 2 – Posture trainer and coach device. It is the simplest, fastest and most natural way to improve your posture in just 2 weeks. The lightweight device adheres comfortably aligned with the spine and is so small you’ll hardly know you are wearing it.

Share a meal

Cooking is about inspiration and creativity, just as much as the end result. The idea of creating homemade food for your family is the motivation behind many culinary adventures. Either arrange for a virtual cooking lesson together or plan to cook a meal and share it with mum either together or deliver it to her as a thoughtful surprise. The Kenwood Chef XL Elite is the perfect companion for many of your cooking adventures. Make Mother’s Day even more special with the current special offer of bonus attachments.

A coffee shop in the home

Bring the coffee shop to mum every single day. Here are two styles of coffee machines to choose from depending on how your mum prefers to make her coffee.

Pod coffee machines might be the easiest way to brew a tasty cup of coffee at the touch of a button. The DELONGHI NESPRESSO CITIZ & MILK SYSTEM includes a super easy milk frothing attachment as well.

Fully automated and freshly ground beans might be as close as you’ll get to real barista-made coffee in your kitchen. The BREVILLE – Barista Touch delivers quality performance with a new intuitive touchscreen display with pre-programmed café drinks menu and automatic milk texturing. All within a compact footprint so it won’t take up too much bench space. This machine also currently has a Mother’s Day bonus gift pack.

Relax and breathe easy

Finally, let mum have some down-time and relax with some peace and quiet and a breath of fresh air. Breville’s Easy Air Purifier helps to reduce 99.97% of particles down to 0.3ʮ with true HEPA filter, dust with pre-filter, smoke and odours with carbon filter, bacteria and viruses with Microbe Shield™ light.

Working from Home Essentials

Working from home essentials

More Australians are working from home this year. Whilst it can be a big adjustment for many, it can also be an opportunity to properly set up your home office. We’ve put together a list of all the essentials you’ll need to consider when setting up a working-from-home environment.

A good computer

This is the key item you’ll need – a good workhorse of a computer. Whether it’s a desktop, laptop or a more portable all-in-one, the computer you choose will make a massive difference to your home office experience. Whatever you’re looking for, Bing Lee has a huge range of options to choose from.

A widescreen

If you’re used to working with a multi-monitor workspace it might be an idea to invest in a larger widescreen monitor to mimic your usual working conditions. You’ll also be able to team it up with a laptop screen to expand your desktop real estate.

Extra storage

Depending on how you’re accessing content and files you may need to store more files at home than you normally would. This is certainly the case if you’re trying to access work documents over virtual private networks and have unstable or slow home internet access. An external terabyte storage drive could be your best friend for the ever-growing collection of work files. With an external drive you can add space for more files instantly, consolidate all your files to a single location, or free up space on your computer’s internal drive for improved performance. Set-up is straightforward, simply plug in the included power supply and USB cable and you are ready to go.

Workable software

Office 365 is now Microsoft 365. The massive revamp of the subscription packages still provides the usual Office products and includes options for individuals, families and businesses. Some interesting new additions include the Microsoft Teams phone app to chat and plan with family and friends. Plus, the Microsoft Family Safety app, allowing family members to keep in touch with location sharing, insights on how everyone is doing while on the road, content filters and screen time limits.

Wireless combo

If you’re mounting your laptop at eye-level to be ergonomically correct at home, you’ll need to also set up a keyboard and mouse combo. Wireless combos like the Logitech MK345 make the whole set-up simple and will keep the desk area clear of cords, allowing ease of movement when transporting your laptop to other work areas.

Headphones

If you’re whole household is working from home, the last thing you’ll want to do every day is to talk over multiple Zoom sessions. Make the transition smooth by ensuring everyone has their own set of headphones. Bing Lee has a great selection of choices from simple earbuds that can be removed quickly, to wireless overhead earphones for comfort and moveability.

The real office essential

Ok, this is the one item worth investing in if you love your coffee. A good coffee machine for the home office is a great motivator and the perfect reason to get up and have a break. It is best to go with a full automated one like the DELONGHI DINAMICA ECAM to save on time and hassle. Tell the boss it will boost productivity.
