Update your garden furniture for summer 2015

With the fairer months fast approaching, it's time to make sure you've got everything you need for long hot (or at least warm) days of relaxation in the garden.

In this blog we'll talk about all the different furniture items and accessories you might need, and in typical TJ Hughes fashion we'll show you how you can get them all without spending much. So without further ado...

Here's what you need

Recliner chairs

First stop: sunbathing. Even if it's not that sunny but just pleasant outside, a good recliner will serve you well. It's perfect furniture for reading, relaxing and recharging. (From £19.99.)

A parasol

Believe it or not there is such a thing as too much sun. So, every back garden should have some sort of shading. Parasols are perfect the job, providing much-needed shade when you need to cool down a touch. (From £49.99.)

A bistro set

Perfect for gardens with limited space, bistro sets are ideal for two people. You get a chair each and a small table for refreshments and nibbles. (From £59.99.)

A patio/garden set

If you do have enough space for a bigger table and more chairs, a patio set might be the best option for you. They can seat the whole family and are ideal for alfresco dining. (From £179.99.)

Three helpful kitchen appliances priced under £40

Some of us enjoy cooking, some of us not so much. Either way, a little help never goes amiss. The TJ Hughes selection of kitchenware and appliances has been put together in order to make your life easier. Here are three fantastic items that cost less than £40 each.

George Foreman Grill & Griddle

Every household should have a George Foreman grill (or one of that style). It's a great way to cook food quickly– especially marinated meats. Not to mention, it's much better for your health than frying.

But this isn't just any George Foreman grill – it has a griddle built in as well. As usual, it includes a drip tray, which shows you all the fat and grease you've avoided by choosing to cook this way. We swear by them, and for £34.99 you can't go wrong.

Tefal Uno Blender

This one is arguably even more of a household essential. With a blender you can make smoothies, sauces, all sorts. You might not need to use it very often, but it's a good appliance to have in the cupboard for when you do.

The Tefal Uno Blender is a steal at £19.99, and of course you know you're getting quality with this brand. It's got a 1.5-litre capacity, which is just under three pints – so you should be able to fit quite a lot in there.

Russell Hobbs Chrome Regent Kettle and Toaster Set

No kitchen is anywhere near complete without a kettle and a toaster. Imagine life without tea, coffee and toast – especially on lazy weekend mornings. It's unthinkable.

Russell Hobbs have this covered. Their kettle and toaster set, only £34.99, will do the job and more. The kettle holds 1.7 litres (three pints), and the toaster has a 'browning' control, so you can have your toast just the way you like it.
