1. Le Comfie Turkish towels are
woven from 100 per cent cotton, are
lightweight, quick drying and compact.
They’re also really versatile ... use them
as beach or bath towels, table cloths
or sarongs, kitchen towels or scarves,
picnic or baby blankets. There are loads
of different designs to choose from,
and most are available in two sizes. We
found them on lecomfie.co.za • 2. Have
the very best, tastiest Italian deli goodies
delivered directly to your door ... deliziosa.
We recently discovered Italian Deli Online
and have been feasting on Italian grilled peppers
and olives, artichoke spread, bruschetta
with sun-dried tomatoes ever since. This
bellissimo online store has the best Italian
coffees, wafers and biscuits, juices and
waters, preserves, sauces and more (think
lovely wines and beers and special occasion
grappa for when those deliveries are allowed).
Details: italiandelionline.co.za • 3. One great thing
about lockdown in winter ... we can wear slippers all
day long. These are warm and wonderful, available
in half a dozen or so colour combinations and can
be monogrammed with your initials. R1495 from
elizabethsummer.com • 4. Sweet Peas is up there
at the top of our favourite online boutiques ... all
its products are custom handmade by artisans in
South Africa, so it really is a great way to support
local. This month we’re ordering a pair of these
cheerful Amalfi linen sandals. We’re probably
going with this cheerful tangerine, but the citrus
are lovely, too. 100 per cent leather and linen,
they’re R699 and will add nicely to our Sweet Peas
collection. Details: sweetpeas.co.za • 5. A hamper of
spoils is such a treat, particularly when it’s sent up
from the glorious Babylonstoren in Simondium
in the Cape. With lockdown deliveries restricted,
the entire range isn’t available right now, but there’s
still a lovely selection if you need to send someone
a gift. Think Orange Blossom Honey, delicious
with brie, ripe figs or freshly baked bread, and Red
Plum and Lemon Verbena Cordial, for cocktails,
cold drinks or to spice up a home-made sponge ...
simply drizzle over the hot cake.
