A cuppa in the car

You can never be too prepared in the cold weather when you're travelling in the car. Just ask anyone who's been stuck in traffic jams caused by heavy snow. Some people even end up stuck in fridge cold cars for the whole night.

What wouldn't they give for a nice hot cuppa. Let's face it, all the blankets and chocolate in the world won't heat you up in the way a brew will, so to be able to boil water and make a cup of tea or coffee in your car would be bliss. Enter the 12 Volt In Car Travel Kettle the ideal travel companion for someone who spends a lot of time in their car.

All cars have cigarette lighter sockets - a throwback to the days when smoking was the norm. This little kettle can be plugged in to this socket, and can heat water up to boiling point to make up to 4 cups (0.8 litres) of tea, coffee or whatever your preferred beverage is.

And it's not just for hot drinks. Carry some Pot Noodles or Cup-a-Soups and you'll have a warm meal. You can even fill up a hot water bottle and warm yourself with that rather than run the car engine until the fuel runs out.

Come the better weather, it's also ideal for camping and boating holidays. Or for day trips out in the summer when you don't want to pay silly prices at the service stations.

The box includes: The kettle, a cigarette lighter plug, two cups, a fork and a spoon (store in the kettle's handle), a strainer and a 1.9 metre (74¾") power cord.

This in car kettle is available online for just £7.99 more details
