Caravan mum Amy, known to her TikTok followers as @amylissx, has found a nifty little gadget that's transformed how she feeds her brood on the road.
Amy and her family have been documenting their caravan trips around the UK, with their latest adventure taking them to sunny Cornwall.
But in between sandy beaches and family fun, she revealed her latest gadget and it's already a hit with her followers.
'I've got a new caravan toy,' she grinned in her TikTok video.

'Just adding to my Ninja collection. I've got the Ninja Crispi glass portable air fryer....sometimes you just need a quick and easy chicken nugget. Smiley faces will do."
The Ninja Crispi is far from your average bulky air fryer.
It's lightweight, compact, and designed for small kitchens, caravans and campervans and is perfect if you want big cooking power without the chunky footprint.
It even looks the part, with three stylish colour choices like blue, stone and sage green, so you can coordinate with your holiday home's interior.

How does it work?
Launched in the UK in March 2025, the CRISPi works by housing the cooking mechanism inside a neat 'PowerPod' lid, which clicks onto one of two glass dishes.
Once you're done, you can serve straight from the dish or pop it straight into the fridge, no extra washing up required.

Like all air fryers, it promises to whip up meals faster than a conventional oven, with that all-important crispy finish but without drowning food in oil.
And for parents like Amy, it means she can feed three kids in minutes without sacrificing space in the caravan or lugging around heavy equipment.

The Ninja Crispi is currently on sale on Ninja Kitchen UK for £149, down from £180.

So if you've been thinking about making the splurge, now's the perfect time.
If you fancy something similar but cheaper, Argos has the Cookworks Halogen 15L Air Fryer for £40, while Lakeland's Dual Basket Air Fryer (currently £89.99) offers double the cooking capacity.

Ninja themselves also have the Double Stack 2-Drawer Air Fryer on sale for £199.99, for those who want to cook two meals at once without taking up all the counter space.
For Amy, though, the Crispi has earned pride of place in her caravan kitchen.
'She's stunning, she's lightweight, and she feeds the kids fast,' she laughed.

I'm a football WAG and found the best autumn jacket in Primark – it's only £14, you need to run
Plus, why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget WHAT A SCORE I'm a football WAG and found the best autumn jacket in Primark – it's only £14, you need to run PRIMARK has been sending shoppers into a frenzy after dropping some of its new cosy autumn buys. And even a footballer's girlfriend has insisted the high street giant is "slaying" with its new pieces. Advertisement 2 Former Aberdeen WAG Nicola Claassen bagged the perfect autumn jacket in Primark Credit: TiKTok/@nicci_claassen 2 The suede shacket only set her back £14 Credit: TiKTok/@nicci_claassen Nicola Claassen is the other half of former Aberdeen player Jack Mackenzie, who joined Plymouth Argyle this summer. The 24-year-old financial accountant regularly shares her fashion finds and outfit of the day picks on her social media. In a recent video, the fashionista revealed she's found the "perfect suede jacket for autumn" in Primark. And thanks to a savvy hack, she managed to bag the new season staple for just £14.

Primark shoppers in frenzy as iconic 90s chick flick gets its own range in store Nicola said: "Stop what you're doing right now because I have found the most perfect, inexpensive suede jacket that all the girlies need this autumn. "Oh my goodness, the color of this is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not a huge fan of the more khaki kind of suede. I like the classic brown. "And you know what makes this even better? This cost me £14. This is Primark kids." She added: "Now I am a short queen but this is a size 12 to 13. So being small has its benefits. Advertisement "I think that's gorgeous. I love that the buttons are covered with the same suede material and I just think the color of this suede is absolutely gorgeous. The fit, the style, the length. I love her. "You need to run. Primark, you've done it again. You've slayed." Moment Primark worker yanks shopper's HAIR out amid screams of 'I'm going to kill you' in row over return The chocolate brown Faux Suede Shacket can be found in the 'older girls' section of Primark's children's department. It is available in ages 7-15 and can be snapped up in store or online via click and collect. Advertisement Describing it on the website, Primark bosses say: "Add a cool finish to their outfit with this faux suede shacket. "In a rich brown tone, it's made from a soft-touch faux suede fabric with classic shirt-style buttons and a smart collar for an effortlessly stylish feel. "Great for layering, this piece works just as well over jeans and a tee as it does with a dress and boots. "Ideal for everyday outings or special plans, it's a versatile style they'll want to wear on repeat." Advertisement It's not the first time an item from the kids' section has proved a hit with fashionistas. TikTok user Hannah Pearl, who goes by the handle '@hannahpearlr', recently shared her genius 'teen' shopping trick with her 29,000 followers. Instead of trawling through the adult clothes section, Hannah has found just as much luck - and significantly cheaper prices - in the children's department. Advertisement Her video gained a massive 286,000 views, inspiring other budget-conscious shoppers to flock to Primark's kids' section. Hannah, who is 5ft, demonstrated how heading directly to the children's department and looking for age 13-14 clothing can lead to some absolute wardrobe wins. And this clever trick means you can refresh your wardrobe without breaking the bank - win, win!

ANTHROPOLOGIE 11 The Anthropologie advent calendar will retail for £98 Credit: Anthropologie At £98, this is one of the most affordable luxury beauty calendars of the year, but it's still worth £365 and includes 11 full-sized items. With a golden ticket promotion offering extra prizes, it's a fun, budget-friendly option for beauty lovers who don't want to miss out on the seasonal sparkle. Best value for money If you're chasing the biggest bang for your buck, Space NK comes out on top for sheer savings at £260 for a £1,150 haul is hard to beat. Liberty offers the highest overall value at £1,200+, but it's also the most expensive. For budget-conscious shoppers, ELF's £150 calendar crams in £1,100 worth of products, making it the best mid-price steal. And if you're after something affordable but still luxe, Anthropologie's £98 calendar gives you over three times your money in products. These aren't the only calendars to hit the market this year so if you're still after a more affordable option don't worry. Boots and a few other high street favourites are still keeping their Christmas cards close to their chest, but if last year's sell-out calendars are anything to go by, their launches will cause a frenzy. For now, though, the early releases are already making December mornings look a whole lot more glamorous.

I look better at 42 than I did at 24 thanks to my 6st Mounjaro transformation – people say it's ‘unbelievable'
Plus, what to do if you lose too much weight on Mounjaro WEIGHT A GO I look better at 42 than I did at 24 thanks to my 6st Mounjaro transformation – people say it's 'unbelievable' FOR many, the idea of looking and feeling better in their forties than in their twenties sounds like a fantasy. But for Marianne it's a stunning reality. Advertisement 2 Marianne at a restaurant before weight loss, feeling tired and hidden Credit: tiktok./@mariannewellness Thanks to a six-stone weight loss transformation, she is now inspiring thousands with her story. The 42-year-old who has documented her incredible journey on TikTok page 'mariannewellness'. In a video shared on May 18, which has since gained over 90.2k views, Marianne explained her transformation was about much more than just the numbers on the scale. The physical change is undeniable, but it was a shift in mindset that truly changed her life. Advertisement READ MORE ON WEIGHT LOSS WEIGH TO GO I lost 6st after discovering the secret to weight loss - and it's NOT fat jabs At 24, she was stuck in a cycle of 'crash diets, low-fat nonsense' and doing 'damage control' with exercise. She has now adopted a new approach, explaining that she eats to 'nourish, not punish' herself and moves because she can, not because she has to. A key part of her journey has been prioritising her mental and emotional well-being. At 24, she was a 'chronic people pleaser' who regularly burnt out. Advertisement She now lives by the rule that if it's not a "hell yes" it's a no, setting clear boundaries. Marianne also treats her eight hours of sleep 'like it's the crown jewels,' protecting them with a wind-down routine of journaling and meditation. I've lost nearly 6 stone in 9 months on fat jabs - trolls call me 'lazy' & say it's the 'easy way out' but I don't care She reveals that Mounjaro (a GLP-1 medication) and hypnosis helped her get to the root of her emotional eating, freeing her from 'food noise' and changing the way she thinks about cravings. Marianne gained 78 comments on her video, as many rushed to share their thoughts. Advertisement One complimented her by writing: 'Incredible. You look amazing.' A second added: 'Oh wow. You look amazing.' 2 Marianne 88 lbs lighter, feeling healthier, happier, and more confident Credit: tiktok/@mariannewellness While a third said: 'You look healthy and happy. Advertisement 'Congratulations.' A fourth then commented: 'Wow! What a transformation.' While a fifth wrote: 'I just love seeing people happy! Congratulations on doing this for you.' In another one of her videos, she explained: 'The truth: confidence is not about the decade you are in. Advertisement 'It is about the choices you make every day. And your 40s can be your best chapter yet.'
