HEMA press day S/S 2015: Gifts

As announced on the HEMA blog academy kick-off, HEMA started to sell a large range of small and affordable gifts, called "blijmakers". It is quite a good idea since there aren't that many gift stores out there that sell small gadgets and gifts at a reasonable price. I saw many interesting gifts at the HEMA press day S/S 2015 event and I will share them with you in this blog post.

DIY lemonade kit

You can create you own DIY lemonade kit like in the picture beneath by buying the Lemon print napkins (€2), Green ice cube maker big blocks (€2), Iron bucket (€5), Yellow hand-held lemon press (€2), Cocktail (also for lemonade) recipe booklet (€3), bottle of alcohol (for the adults ^_^), and a mason jar (€2).

To hold a big cocktail party, you can buy extra HEMA mason jars (small €2 and big €3), cocktail jar shaker (€3), striped paper straws (€2) and cocktail stirrers (€2)

If you have a friend that just loves pineapples in all shapes and sizes, you can gift the HEMA pineapple ice cube maker (€1) and the pineapple candle in glass (big one or set of two mini ones (both €3 each)). It would be fun to see pineapples floating in your cocktail.

Gifts for guys


It is quite difficult to buy something interesting for a guy and of course, HEMA has you covered.

If I haven't mentioned it enough, I will state it once more, I really love guys that can cook. I think they look the coolest when they make cocktails (think Tom Cruise in the movie Cocktail), make a pizza for me (great simple, no frills comfort food), or stand in front of the barbeque (nothing manlier than large fires and big chunks of meat ^_^). Although I love seeing guys use their arm muscles when they twist the pepper mill while they cook, I think an electric pepper mill would be a great gadget to them.

And now, for the outfit. It is not without reason why some waiters (wearing a black apron) get a lot of female attention. You can get a complete HEMA BBQ set now with a black apron that comes together with some kitchen utensils. You are supposed to wear it like a tool belt (but I advise you not to do that, but I can imagine that it is useful, when you are having a barbeque outdoors). Also, I would love to have the food in the picture served to me on a HEMA steak board, like from a real chef.

Gifts for food lovers

I personally love cooking and food too, so these are the things that I would love to get for myself.

HEMA has created a "this is..... to be precise" line for kitchen products. I quite like that they created things that can often only be found in specialty stores.

HEMA this is a pasta mix for garlic sauce and tomato sauce, wooden spoons with heart and star hole, green pesto.

Window bag large Good luck print, €2  

This last picture isn't a set that you can buy ready-made in the HEMA stores. It was done to give you some gift inspiration so that you can create your own custom-made cooking kit. The HEMA plastic gift bag and the gift sticker are a small preview of the HEMA gift wrapping accessories that I will show more of in the part, in which I will discuss the stationery.



Instax mini 8 in pastel colors and accessories

It must have been a great success, as HEMA used to only sell the Instax mini 8 (€59) in black or white. Now, they have added the pastel yellow, pink (not pictured), and blue ones too. There is also one in purple.

I really like the colorful HEMA straps (€2) that are especially made for the Instax mini 8.
