Sage InFizz Fusion Sparkling Drinks Maker

• Available from Sage (£179.95)

This is an extraordinary bit of innovation. Soda makers/carbonators at home typically have only been able to add fizz to water. By making the nozzle detachable and therefore cleanable, this machine can carbonate any drink. We made up a batch of elderflower cordial with still water and then carbonated the mixture, rather than adding cordial to sparkling water, and we found the flavours to be more integrated, plus you can vary how fizzy the level of carbonation is. You can create lovely cocktails this way, mocktails, too, and even carbonate wine. This makes a terrific gift for the drinks nerd in your life.

KitchenAid Artisan 4.8L tilt-head stand mixer

• Available from KitchenAid (£449)

KitchenAid’s iconic 4.8-litre stand mixer is a timeless favourite with keen bakers. Take your pick from deep red, beetroot purple, cream and more. Read our full guide to the best stand mixers for more ideas.
