Join The Great British Bake Off star, Benjamina Ebuehi, for an evening of hands-on baking nostalgic festive treats.
To celebrate 50 years of supporting hardworking hands, guests will be invited to hark back to their childhoods (or even those of their parents and grandparents), baking festive treats enjoyed for decades.
Activities on offer will include:
- Mixing a festive Gin(gingerbread) Margarita cocktail
- Compiling a tasty Christmas cookie mix
- Cooking up the ultimate mince pie filling (veggie options included!)
All ingredients and utensils (including cooking aprons!) are provided. Guests will leave with a set of naughty but oh-so-lovely festive treats and a brand new skill set and hobby to carry them through the festive season and many Christmases to come.
At Benji’s cook along, guests will be able to sample the selection of Neutrogena® Norwegian Formula Hand Creams on offer, and they’ll also be able to speak with Medical Consultant and Skincare Expert Dr Ejikeme on how to best care for their hands when getting hands-on with hobbies. Dr Ejikeme will share guidance on how to care for their hands correctly and be able to advise which Neutrogena® hand cream is best suited to guests’ skin types and needs.
New research from Norwegian Formula found a quarter of Brits are looking into nostalgic hobbies to ease the stress of modern life, and 53% have said they’d like to take up a new pastime.
More than a quarter (27 per cent) have picked up a new hobby in the last year, and 25 per cent have kept a pastime going for over a decade.
Amongst the most popular new hobbies to try are baking and gardening, traditional past-times jigsaw puzzles, board games and bird watching.
The workshop is ideal for anyone looking to get hands-on and hone their icing skills for an hour or so or for those looking to channel their creativity and try their hand at a new hobby. It’s no secret that baking and making sweet creations are hobbies that are adored by many of us and have been for the past 50 years.
Forget traipsing around the shops or trawling websites online – we all know that handmade gifts have a unique and personal touch. A delectable selection of homemade mince pies and festive biscuits, iced by yourself under the guidance of Great British Bake Off star Benji, will without a doubt impress loved ones and make for a perfect and thoughtful gift for that friend or relative who seems to have everything!
The experts at Neutrogena® believe that we should never underestimate the joy we can get from hobbies; the brand has supported those that use their hands for 50 years, and now it’s time to support the next wave of passion seekers, providing relief to all those looking to stay hands-on with their hobbies – be it cooking and getting creative in the kitchen or outdoor pursuits such as bouldering, gardening, and everything in between.
