Pringle Alexa Nutri Blender 450W

Rs 1699

Every kitchen needs one appliance that does more than it looks like it should, and the Pringle Alexa Nutri Blender earns its spot on that list. For those who want to eat better without overhauling their entire routine, it’s compact, efficient and genuinely versatile. At its core is a 450W high-speed motor, strong enough to smoothly blend, grind and mix everything from fruits and vegetables to tougher ingredients, without the usual stop-start struggle of weaker blenders. Whether it’s a post-workout protein smoothie, a quick juice before heading out, or grinding spices for a weekend curry, this one machine covers a surprising amount of ground. It doubles easily as a mixer grinder, which means one appliance replaces what would otherwise be two separate purchases taking up counter space.

The dual blade system is where it earns its performance credentials: two blade sockets designed specifically for blending and grinding, delivering consistent results whether you’re making a silky smoothie or a coarser chutney. It comes with two food-grade jars, so hygiene and flexibility aren’t an afterthought; you can prep different things without cross-contamination or constant washing mid-recipe. The sipper cap is a genuinely useful touch; blend your shake and take it straight out the door. Two storage lids round out the set, making it just as easy to prep ahead and store for later.

Backed by a one-year warranty, it’s a low-effort, high-utility addition to any kitchen, proof that eating well doesn’t have to come with extra hassle.

Singhasan: India’s First Premium Blended Whisky 

Launched in early 2025 by Modi Illva India Pvt. Ltd., a joint venture between the Umesh Modi Group and Italy’s Illva Saronno, Singhasan is India’s first premium blended whisky made entirely from homegrown ingredients, Indian malts blended with Indian grain spirits, mellowed with oak. It comes at a time when Indian single malts have been gaining real international recognition, and Singhasan takes that same idea into the blended whisky category, built on homegrown malt and grain rather than imported stock.

The whisky brings together malts sourced from across the country, blended with Indian grain spirits and mellowed with oak. It carries a higher malt content than most whiskies in its segment, which shows up in a deep golden colour and a fuller character than you’d expect from a typical blend. On the palate, it’s smooth and layered, with rich malt notes that build toward a long finish rather than disappearing quickly.

Bottled at 42.8% ABV, it’s versatile enough to work neat, on the rocks, or mixed into a whisky soda or highball. Its smooth, well-rounded character also makes it a solid base for whisky-based cocktails for those who like to experiment.

The whisky has picked up recognition too, Singhasan Finest won Gold for Best Indian Blended Whisky at the World Whiskies Awards 2026, a solid showing for a whisky built entirely on Indian ingredients. Currently available across select states including Goa, Odisha, Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh, with wider distribution underway, it’s a fairly accessible entry point into India’s growing premium whisky category.

Gracia Cero Pineapple Piñata Non-Alcoholic Spirit

Price: 1699/-

Non-alcoholic spirits are having a real moment in India, and Gracia Cero is leading the charge as one of the country’s first non-alcoholic agave-based drinks. Made by Kantala Spirits, a brand rooted in Goa’s rich, Portuguese-influenced drinking heritage, Gracia Cero brings a modern, inclusive twist to that legacy, built for a generation that wants the ritual and flavour of a crafted drink without the alcohol. The Pineapple Piñata variant leans fully into its tropical character, a vibrant, fruit-forward take on agave spirit that’s bold enough to stand on its own and versatile enough to build cocktails and mocktails around. At 0% ABV, zero sugar and just 4 calories per serving, it’s designed for genuinely mindful drinking, whether that’s Dry January, a long-term lifestyle shift, or simply wanting a lighter option at a party without sitting out the ritual entirely.

What makes it stand out is its build: it’s an actual agave-based spirit alternative, not a juice or soda dressed up as a mocktail base. That gives it real versatility behind the bar, pair it with tonic, soda or your favourite mixers to build anything from a refreshing cooler to a more sophisticated signature mixed drink, agave’s natural, slightly peppery edge works particularly well cutting through sweeter tropical flavours like pineapple and coconut.

Alongside its sibling variant, Raw ‘n’ Wild Mango, Pineapple Piñata reflects a broader shift happening in India’s urban beverage scene, where low- and no-alcohol options are increasingly finding a genuine place at the table, not as an afterthought, but as a legitimate, flavour-forward choice in their own right.

Soulflower 3X Rosemary Hair Growth Routine
Price: 899

Rosemary has become the internet’s favourite hair-growth ingredient, and Soulflower’s three-piece routine bundles it into a complete, no-fuss regimen. The set includes a 225ml Rosemary Lavender Healthy Hair Oil, a 15ml pure Rosemary Essential Oil, and a 100ml Rosemary Water with Mint hair spray, three products designed to work together rather than as standalone fixes. The hair oil forms the base of the routine, a nourishing pre-wash treatment meant to strengthen strands and support the scalp, with lavender added for its calming, soothing properties. The essential oil is the concentrated powerhouse of the set; a few drops mixed into a carrier oil or your regular hair oil are said to stimulate the scalp and encourage growth with consistent use. Rounding it off is the rosemary water spray infused with mint, a lightweight, leave-in mist that’s easy to use daily without the heaviness of oil, ideal for freshening up the scalp between washes or adding a quick boost before styling.

Soulflower markets the kit as delivering visible results from the first month, with the brand citing a 90.6% strength boost and full hair-fall control in its testing. All three products are positioned as 100% natural and vegan, in line with the brand’s broader clean-beauty approach.

For anyone looking to build a structured hair-care routine rather than relying on a single product, this set offers a genuinely complete starting point, oil, essential oil and spray, covering pre-wash, treatment and daily maintenance in one go.
