Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week
VEGAN
Pukka is famous for its pies but has branched out into on-the-go snacks, including this new Pukka Vegan Sausage Roll, £1.50.
The filling is made from seasoned soya protein and couscous, all wrapped in flaky pastry. And our verdict is – delicious! Find it in Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s.
PAMPER
Now this really does smell good enough to eat. Ethical beauty brand Lush has launched its Cinnamon Roll Bubble Bar, £5.95, which is perfect to enjoy on a cold winter’s night. Crumble into running water and let the cinnamon and clove scent warm you up in no time.
PLAY
If you have a budding astronomer at home, then this could make the perfect Christmas gift.
Night Sky, £39.99, from Brainstorm Toys, turns any room into a planetarium by projecting pictures of planets and constellations on to the ceiling. Find it in John Lewis or online at very.co.uk
WELLBEING HOME
Tesco has just revealed its latest drop of autumn/winter homeware. As well as cosy throws and stylish crockery, there is a decidedly sheepish theme with fluffy lambs appearing on everything from cushions and candles to this fun sheep doorstop, £12.
It will be a talking point in your kitchen. In fact, you’d be baa-rmy to miss it.
Feeling frazzled and a bit under the weather? Then why not take a moment of mindful calm and enjoy a cup of Lab Tonica Breathe tea, £9? This herbal brew contains a blend of natural calming ingredients that is designed to help you relax and unwind.
