MAKE THIS THE WEEK YOU...

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY

FASHION COURIER

IF YOU’RE on Net-a-Porter’s invite-only VIP list, couriers wait as you try clothes on, then take away any unwanted items. Or ASOS has a Pay Later option; try items on home and you’ll only pay for what you keep.

DIY DESIGN

THE new IKEA Place app allows you to see how that chair would look. Point your phone’s camera where you want it to go and the app will superimpose an image of the item in situ.

BRILLIANT BEAUTY

BEAUTY shop feelunique. allows you to order five free samples a month ( with £ 3.95 p& p). Some items come with a tester, so you can return the full-size version.

VIRTUAL HOLS

THOMAS Cook’s Discovery Stores ( thomascook.com) offer a Try Before You Fly virtual reality experience.
