Retro candy floss maker by Giles and Posner

Candy floss

Got a sweet tooth that no amount of modern confectionery can satisfy? You may want to invest in this candy floss maker by Giles and Posner.

Much like the popcorn machine we featured a little while ago, it's a retro styled piece of gadgetry designed to serve up sweet old-fashioned treats. Not only does the machine spin caster sugar to cotton candy, it looks pretty nice too and is sure to fit into a kitchen as neatly as it would a diner. 

The candy floss maker costs £35
