My daughter has wanted a mini fridge for ages, inspired by TikTok and motivated by the idea of having cold cans and snacks within arm’s reach while gaming. Luckily, we got the opportunity to review the Canal Toys So Chill Mini Fridge Infinity. Here’s what we thought…

Mini Fridge Overview: Portable, Efficient, Fun and On Point Mini Fridge

The So Chill Mini Fridge Infinity is an ultra-stylish mini fridge — perfect for keeping drinks, snacks, and even beauty products cool (in both senses of the word). It is an ideal addition for hangouts and perfect for road trips, late-night study sessions, and the occasional WFG (Working from Garden). Gamers, students, tweens and teens will love it.   

What’s Included:

  • Mini fridge (4-litre capacity)
  • Removable shelf
  • USB cable
  • Stickers sheet
  • Instructions (if you need any)

What We Thought of the So Chill Mini Fridge Infinity

I normally do a ‘how to use’ section in reviews but there’s no need here; you just plug it in, flick the on switch and wait an hour for it to get to temperature; then you’re good to go.

The So Chill Mini Fridge Infinity isn’t just about cooling your drinks – although it does an excellent job of that – it is about cool aesthetics too. It’s sleek and has a mesmerising 3D infinity LED mirror effect door, which boasts 12 different light modes to suit the vibe or mood or you can set it to scroll through all the colour modes. This isn’t just an ordinary fridge; it’s quite a statement piece.

It’s compact and lightweight so you can move it easily between locations and it runs via a USB power cable, making it versatile and simple to use. It comes with 90 fun stickers for personalisation, which are a nice touch for younger ones.

Practical bits

The So Chill Mini Fridge has a 4-litre capacity and can hold up to six 330ml cans. It comes with a removable shelf, which makes it quite flexible depending on what you want to stash in there.

As someone who’s always thinking about energy bills (who isn’t these days?), I got the calculator out and discovered it costs approximately 6p a day to run continuously for 24 hours.

Dimensions:
Depth: 185mm
Height: 285mm
Width: 285mm

Verdict on the So Chill Mini Fridge Infinity

The So Chill Mini Fridge Infinity is a brilliant blend of function and fun. It looks great, is efficient, doesn’t guzzle electricity, and doesn’t make any loud humming.

It will appeal to a wide variety of people and is TikTok-approved, which is apparently the highest praise these days. Suitable for ages eight and up.

You can buy the So Chill Mini Fridge Infinity at various retailers including Smyths where it’s priced at £44.99.

My daughters (aged 12-15) have a passion for arts and crafts, photography and design projects. They are loving the Photo Creator Instant Pocket Printer. It enables you to create, edit, print and customise designs without messy ink. It’s a great device for scrapbooking and junk journalling, and for getting physical copies of those precious photo memories in an instant.

Here’s what we thought and what you need to know.

Instant printer that’s quick, portable, child-friendly and lots of fun

TLDR: This small, nifty Bluetooth printer from Canal Toys enables quick, easy and quality printing directly from smart devices. When used with the free Tiny Print app you can print photos, generate AI images, create and print drawings and stickers, make printable to-do lists and labels, and apply special effects to existing images. The kit also contains stickers and marker pens for customising your designs after printing.

Check out the review of the Photo Creator Pop Colour Digital Camera

What’s included

Instant pocket printer

  • The Instant Pocket Printer
  • 1 adhesive paper roll (to print on)
  • 3 normal paper rolls (to print on)
  • USB charger cable
  • 75 stickers
  • Three pens to customise your prints

How to use the Instant Pocket Printer

The printer is really easy to set up. It uses very clever thermal technology to produce the black and white images so no ink is required. Yes, you heard that right. That means no messy ink cartridges to contend with and images dry instantly. Charge its built-in-battery via the USB cable, load the paper roll, install the free app and you’re ready to go.

Our experiences

The simple interface of the Tiny Print app

The app is very easy to navigate. We spent a lot of time printing up some of our favourite images from holiday. The printing is really fast; the quality is very good and images are crisp with no bleed. The images are so good in fact, that my eldest has used them as part of her GCSE art coursework.

The girls then had lots of fun experimenting with all the really cool features. They cartooned themselves, made linear drawing of themselves (from existing photos), prompted the AI image creator to generate weird and wonderful creations and personalised their photos with text.

Their two-year-old cousin has a ticket obsession. She loved the printable labels and the stock images of animals (amongst many other categories), which she could colour.

This would certainly appeal to both tweens and older teenagers. Whilst it says age 8+ on the box, younger ones would definitely enjoy with adult supervision. I think this would make a super Christmas gift.


The Photo Creator Instant Pocket Printer is available at various retailers including Amazon & Smyths where it’s priced at £29.99.
