Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week

HOME

Perfect for your commute, the school run or a winter walk, the new Contigo Byron 2.0 travel cup, £16, not only keeps drinks piping hot or icy cold, but is spill-proof. And you will be doing your bit for the planet by saying no to single-use coffee cups. Find it in Tesco.

EAT

Here’s a delicious festive treat – all your favourite puddings re-imagined as biscuits. Fox’s Chocolately Winter Desserts, £4, come in four delicious varieties – chocolate brownie, millionaire’s shortbread, white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. Available in supermarkets.

BEAUTY

Lack of radiance is a common skin complaint, especially in winter because cold weather is very drying.

So give your complexion a fresh start with the Boots Banana Glow collection. Packed with brightening and smoothing ingredients, this range is a real bargain too with each product costing just £5. Try the Banana Brightening Mask for an instant boost.

CHRISTMAS

Cooking dinner can be the most stressful part of Christmas Day, so Hello Fresh has put together a festive recipe box with everything you need to make it with ease. The Christmas box, from £84.99, contains ingredients for traditional turkey with all the trimmings (bird included, of course). Order by December 12 at hellofresh.co.uk.

SLEEP

Do you struggle to nod off at bedtime? You’re not alone. WellBeSleep is a new range of drinks that contain lemon balm and hops, both natural remedies for stress that encourage relaxation.

WellBeSleep shots, £1.99, come in three delicious flavours and drinking one 30 minutes before bed may help you drop off more easily.

Find them on Ocado.
