2. NESPRESSO Inissia C40 Red Coffee Machine
Pros
- Compact machine
- 19-bar pressure system
- Heats water in 25 seconds only
- User-friendly controls for espresso or lungo
Cons
- Makes one cup at a time
- Needs capsule pods
Looking forward to a fresh cuppa in the mornings really makes all the difference – especially when it is prepared in seconds. Try the capsule coffee trend with Nespresso’s Inissia C40 machine. It heats 700ml of water in 25 seconds – which serves up to nine cups – and pours out your choice of either 40ml of espresso or 110ml of a milder lungo. Thanks to its small footprint, despite a 19-bar pressure extraction system, the machine takes up little space on the countertop and looks quite modern in red, too. Reviews say it comes with a few complementary capsules by Nespresso, while others point out that Starbucks pods work as well. See more kitchen appliances here.
Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh29 and a two-year extended warranty.

A sub-dial rests in the bottom half of the dial that tells you your seconds. Designed for adventures under the sun, the casual sports watch is water resistant in up to 30 metres of depth, and durable thanks to its rubber-like band.

Your search for a signature summer scent ends here. The Scent by Hugo Boss is a peachy floral perfume, featuring apricot and freesia for freshness and base notes of roasted cocoa for depth. Reviews describe it as the perfect everyday summer fragrance that doesn’t overpower the senses and stays on light. Pick it up for yourself or gift a loved one, this Prime Day.
7. OLAY Night Cream: Regenerist Retinol 24 Moisturiser, 50G
Among skincare finds, we picked the Olay 50g night cream for its skin brightening and anti-ageing properties. Get your literal beauty sleep with this fragrance-free moisturising formula that contains a good dose of retinol (vitamin A). Retinol works slowly but surely by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and pores, and since it can get drying, niacinamide (vitamin B3) swoops in to help your skin stay hydrated. The last of the main ingredient trio is amino peptides, also known as the building blocks for collagen, the protein that boosts skin elasticity. Together, they work to keep your skin looking younger, plumper and hydrated, as attested by reviewers. Looking for a day cream? We also picked out the best SPF moisturisers.
8. Moon Safari-Ultra Lightweight Character Stroller
This safari cat-themed stroller by Moon is going to keep your baby comfy when out and about. Ideal for children aged three months to three years, the stroller can easily support up to 20kgs of load, despite being super lightweight at 6.3kgs. It comes with a five-point safety belt, so mums and dads can strap their baby in worry-free. When the sun is overhead, pull down the curved canopy, made of water- and tear-resistant 400D nylon fabric. And, when it’s time for a mid-day snooze, recline the backrest and pull up the footrest to help them stretch their legs. Reviewers love how light and compact the frame is, which is especially helpful when travelling.
9. Lego 11013 Classic Creative Transparent Bricks Building Set

Faced with 500 colourful blocks and pieces, children have to put together eight characters – ranging from a toy unicorn to a wizard – how ever they like. Lego’s special transparent bricks in the mix also keep the puzzle interesting, boosting scope for creativity. If the kids are stuck, help them access the included digital building instructions, where they can easily visualise models as they build. The play set is suitable for children aged four and above, as it aids in building creative and physical skills. Find more toys in our list here.
