We're OBSESSED with KitchenAid's colour of the year for 2021 – and it has already sold out (for now)

It's a lovely pop of colour to add to an otherwise neutral kitchen – we'll have one of each, please!

You can use this blender to smooth the hardest of ingredients from nuts to ice and even coconut. It comes in 12 colours in total, and included in the box you'll get a 1.4l ribbed glass jar – the perfect size for families. With a compact footprint due to its nature, this blender can still take centre stage in your kitchen, especially if you choose it in a striking colour. The new honey one, for instance...
