Not Slippery When Wet – Water Resistant Bathmat
JML has given the term “slippery when wet†a new meaning with the launch of its new Plushy bathmat.
Using a new type of material it means that the wetter the bathmat becomes the more resistant it is. With retailers such as Asda, Homebase and Robert Dyas queuing up to stock the product it is likely to become a best seller this spring:
Developed by the consumer brand, the bathmat uses a nitrile rubber base, often favoured by supermarkets for its resistance. Lab testing found that when wet it becomes six times more resistant, meaning you can feel totally safe and secure in your bathroom.
It’s also really absorbent – holding up to two litres of water; it means you don’t have to worry about damp, squishy mats when you emerge from the shower.
The deep, thick microfibres of the Plushy set it apart from others.
It’s designed to be very soft and quick-drying. With a gorgeous, velvety feel, stepping out of the shower has never been such an indulgence.
The tough Plushy bathmat also has a sensitive side: it’s machine washable and comes in five different colours.
Retails at £11.99 from JML online, ASDA, Homebase and Robert Dyas.
For further information about JML’s Plushy bathmat, please visit the website.

Emma Bridgewater Commemorates The Royal Wedding
To celebrate the most exciting event of 2011, the wedding of HRH Prince William to Kate Middleton, Emma Bridgewater has designed several commemorative products.
The Royal Wedding collection comprises:
A One Pint Mug with gift box.
Fresh As The First Day of Spring
After a hard winter it is nice to think of spring being just around the corner, and the inspiration for this Kitty tea service from Herend, is the lovely spring flower the Tulip.
Kitty
The playful Kitty décor is a modernized version of Bouquet de tulipe, a pattern devised in the 1930s:
In the centre stands a single, colourful, wind-swept ‘parrot’ tulip, its orange, yellow, red, mauve or blue petals conjured up with virtuoso brushwork.
The cup of indented petals waves on the end of a supple stem, from which springs a pair of wavy leaves contoured in black.
Round the ledge, springs a pair of wavy leaves contoured in black. It also has a gilded rim and surrounding motifs of tiny, bright meadow and garden flowers. This delightfully playful, cheerful décor is painted in six colour variants.
The hand painted tulips which adorn the porcelain, seem to have flown unto the pieces in an unruly manner, their heads and leaves still tilting from the wind.
This pattern is also available as a dinner service.
The service will fit into any decor be it classic, traditional or topical, and bring a ray of sunshine unto the table.
