(SPOT.ph) So, we're all adults; let that sink in for a bit. You now get excited about getting your hands on functional, practical items—whether it's a gift or you're buying one for your own—like appliances for your space. But of course, they still have to be cute. It's already a huge bonus if they're also affordable—say, below P1,000.

We found some appliances that tick all the boxes at the best-loved Australian home and lifestyle brand, Anko. Here are some cute, mini appliances that would be the perfect gift for your space this holiday season.

You already know Anko has a wide range of products for every space and every type of person (and pet) inside a home. It's an adulting wonderland—and during the holiday season, a one-stop shop for all your gifting needs, and at every price point. There are currently four Anko stores in the Metro where you can visit: Glorietta, Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, and, recently, in Ayala Malls Manila Bay. The Australian home and lifestyle brand first opened last year in Glorietta.

Styling your hair will never be too much of a hassle with this Mini Straightening Brush. You can get straight and styled locks in an instant with this appliance, whether you're coming from home or from your hotel rooms—since its mini size is perfect to bring on your travels. You can cut down on your styling routine with this one machine, giving your hair more volume and a more natural look. It's also easier for those beginning to style their hair. It retails at P690.

But if you prefer just the straightener—maybe sleeker and more pin-straight style—go for the Mini Straightener. Also priced at P690, this straightener is equipped with ceramic-coated plates and has a 360-degree swivel cord and hang loop. It heats up to 190 degrees maximum. This is perfect for those more experienced with styling their hair.

For those who love snacking on treats, why not make them at home with these mini Waffle Maker and Donut Maker? Whenever you have a craving, you can whip out these small appliances, and you're good to go. Both of them retail at P790. 

The Waffle Maker, for one, can get you mini-sized, crispy waffles. It is equipped with non-stick coated plates, which make it easier to clean. Worried about it taking too much space? Don't fret, this waffle maker can also be stored upright for more compact storage.

First off is this Mini Rice Cooker at P790. This appliance is perfect for those who live alone or have limited kitchen space. It's in this cute green hue that can add a pop of color to your space. It can cook around 1.5 cups.

Ah, to be gifted a Handheld Garment Steamer. It's really a life-saving appliance, removing creases and wrinkles from your clothes and even home linen in an instant. Anko also has one in its catalog, priced at P1,900. This one is also handheld, which makes it easier for you to smooth out your clothes and even home linen. It's compact and lightweight at one (1) kilogram, too. Give it around 30 seconds, and you're good to go.

Last but not least, and we cannot not include it in our honorable mentions, is Anko's Mini Air Fryer in this cute lilac hue. Air fryers are also a must-have in the kitchen: they save space and also cook up fast and healthy everyday meals. This mini air fryer has eight preset cooking menus, with an LED display that allows you to take a peek at the adjustable settings. This Mini Air Fryer retails at P1,680.

Anko now has four stores across the Metro. They're open in Glorietta, Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, and Ayala Malls Manila Bay. You can check out their items in person at these stores. They also have a website, currently showcasing their Christmas catalog.
