This iconic Marmite Money Jar is the perfect place to keep your coins – assuming you’re saving up to buy some more Marmite that is. And you should be seeing as it’s the best thing to put on your toast since… well since they started slicing bread up and toasting it. Whether you love or hate Marmite (apparently there’s some kind of debate about it) you’ll love filling up this oversized jar with bits of change. Incidentally we just popped to the shop to get some Marmite and it’s currently £2.34 for a 250g pot so you’d better get saving. Thankfully with the Marmite Money Jar there’s no better way.
Price : £ 16.97

So you’ve taken the greatest photo of your life, your very own equivalent of that one with all the builders eating lunch on a New York skyscraper. What does one do with it, after you’ve received the Ansel Adams Award, of course? Well, you could do an awful lot worse than using the You Frame Canvas Kit, which will take your super snap and attractively display it on a beautiful canvas. No bulky frames, just clean lines and a lovely finish. What’s more, there’s no chance of it warping either. It’s surprisingly easy to do (no queuing up at the camera shop while the Saturday boy accidentally erases your USB), and in no time you’ll have that snap hanging on your wall. All you need to do is take your picture, pop it on your PC, print it out on the provided canvas (you’re given two sheets of high-quality A4 material) and construct your frame. It’s a mini-Meccano of little poles, double-sided tape and the like, but extremely easy to build. This system literally takes care of everything, and the handy online tutorial will clear up any problems you might encounter. With your photo printed onto canvas and framed, you can easily add a touch of class to your empty wall. Instant chic wherever you decide to hang it. Family snaps take on a new arty gravitas and scenery shots almost look like paintings. It’s a lovely way to show off how good you are with a camera. Snap, print, frame – it’s as simple as that.
