Charred chilli onion, Flaming chilli parsley, Inferno garlic chilli and Sizzling chilli salt. The product is a well packaged and the perfect gift for anyone who likes to get experimental in the kitchen. Priced at £5 for 4 bottles you are getting a lot of bang for your buck.

Day of the Dead Skull Filled with Hot Sauce

This Skull is not just impressive to look at, but will add heat to many a meal. We loved the look of the skull and with 750ml of hot sauce you’re sure to be supplied for a while. Originally priced at £7 per bottle Wilko have recently dropped the price down to £5 and whats more, once the sauce is done the skull is a fab novelty to add to any household and looks way more pricier than a fiver.


Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix with Skillet

 Make your own cookie with this skillet set. Included is a chocolate chip cookie mix and an iron skillet. This is perfect for someone who likes to get creative in the kitchen and the iron skillet is worth more than £5 alone.

All delicious: This trio of festive favourites has all bases covered. The three mini jars may be small in size but each is bursting with flavour.
