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

BATH

What better remedy for a cold winter’s night than a long, hot bath? Philosophy’s new festive range will add soft, scented bubbles that will help you relax and unwind. There are three fragrances to choose from – our favourite is the sweetly scented Snow Angel, £16. Available from lookfantastic.com.

EAT

Upgrade your breakfast toast with this seriously delicious Bonne Maman Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, £2.80 in Sainsbury’s. Rich and smooth, it contains 20 per cent hazelnuts. For something really decadent, spread it on croissants, or warm it up and drizzle over ice cream.

KIDS

Save the Children has teamed up with high street favourites H&M to launch a circus-themed collection of toys and homeware. There is everything from circus-print bed sheets and cuddly toys to this gorgeous porcelain toy tea set, £24.99. For every purchase made, 10 per cent will go to the charity.

HAIR

With pea protein, jojoba oil and shea butter, Nylah’s Naturals Strength & Shine Thickening Shampoo, £12, is packed with ingredients to strengthen and hydrate Afro and curly hair. So it’s no surprise it’s just won Best Afro Shampoo in the 2021 Women’s Health Awards haircare category. Available at nylahsnaturals. com and Superdrug.

HOME

How’s this for a purr-fect present for your favourite cat lover. These cute cat gin glasses, £25 for two, are the ideal balloon shape for a festive gin and tonic, with plenty of room for ice, a slice and whatever fruit you fancy. Drinkind will make a donation to good causes for every set sold. Visit drinkind.co.uk.
