The essential mini chopper for your kitchen – Aura Chop & Blend | Pre-Christmas Shopping

A few years ago I was gifted a small mini chopper. I know, not the most exciting of presents, and not something I’d really ever thought I wanted.

The nightmare of running out of space on your phone. Just at the wrong moment.

I gaze at my phone in frustration, thumb flickering speedily backwards and working as fast as I can make it go. Stabby fingers and teeth grinding in frustration as I hit delete, delete, delete, delete… I’m on the top of  a mountain in Wales. I’d accidentally left my camera in the car, but when I realised I hadn’t wanted to head a mile back down the track to get it – after all, I had my phone, which I had...
