Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week
WORK
If you’re still working from home or have moved to a hybrid home/office routine, then keep your desk in order with this clever Packaway Desk, £20, from Paperchase. It looks like a box file from the outside but open it up and there are five storage compartments for notebooks, pens, pencils and whatever else you need.
GIFT
The Body Shop has a gorgeous range of gifts this year, from stocking fillers to luxurious presents. For every purchase made until December 31, The Body Shop will make a donation to The Honeypot Children’s Charity, which supports young carers in the UK. We love this Kindness & Pears Mini Gift, £10, which contains body butter, shower gel and an eco-friendly bath lily.
HOME
Fancy yourself as the new Mrs Hinch? Then this fun new range of sparkly rose-gold glitter household cleaning essentials from Beldray could be for you. This laundry basket, £16.99, will hold a load of washing and collapses flat for easy storage. Find it in Robert Dyas.
HEALTH
The run-up to Christmas can be stressful for many people, so why not give yourself a helping hand with these new vitamin gummies? Haliborange Calm, £9.99, Superdrug, are one-a-day cherryflavoured gummies that contain vitamins B6 and B12, which help with mental health and fatigue, and the calming herb ashwagandha.
EAT
Dr Oetker’s brand new range has given pizza a much-needed healthy makeover. The Good Baker collection uses wholegrain seeds and flours in the stonebaked crust and it also contains no artificial flavours or added sugar. Our favourite from the collection is the Veggie Mix, £3.49, which is topped with peppers, courgette, tomato, red onions and black olives. Available in supermarkets.
