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

DRINK

Make your favourite soft drinks in the comfort of your own home, and cut down on plastic waste, with these new launches from Sodastream. Simply mix a dash of Pepsi Max or 7Up Free, £4.99 each, into a glass of sparkling water and you have an instant refreshing beverage. Each bottle makes nine litres.

Available in Sainsbury’s.

BAKE

If you and your family have been gripped by the new series of Bake Off, then encourage any smaller members to embrace their inner Paul Hollywood with Baked In’s Junior Baking Club. It’s a subscription service that sends everything you need to make a delicious baked treat straight to your front door. From £7.50 per month at bakedin.co.uk.

BEAUTY

Garnier has given its BB Cream, £4.49, Superdrug, a makeover. Lightweight and easy to blend, it provides natural coverage and comes in four formulations for different skin types. It’s boosted its eco credentials too – the new tube contains 49 per cent less plastic and the box is completely recyclable.

EAT

Celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo has launched a range of delicious ready meals that means you can whip up an Italian feast in no time at all.

Available in Asda, the range contains everything from lasagne and risotto to garlic bread and ice cream. Our favourite is the aubergine parmigiana, £4.

PLAY

From the minds that brought you classic strategy card game Exploding Kittens comes A Little Wordy, a clever word unscrambling tile game.

After you have found your word, you spend the game trying to guess your opponent’s using hints and tricks. It costs £11.99 at explodingkittens.com.
