Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week
EAT
How’s this for a delicious treat that is perfect for finishing off a meal? Crosta & Mollica has launched a range of Tartufi – a traditional Italian dessert made from layers of creamy gelato. There are three flavours to choose from – Caffe Latte, Chocolate & Hazelnut and our favourite, Pistachio & Almond. You can find them in Waitrose and Ocado for £5.
GARDEN
Spring has definitely sprung and we’re ready for lazy afternoons eating and drinking in the sunshine. So we love these pretty Kody glasses, £20.76 for four, which are available from wayfair. co.uk. Made from shatterproof plastic, they are perfect for the garden and will brighten up any picnic.
BEAUTY
Aldi’s range of super effective and low-cost skincare has won plaudits from beauty experts and fans alike. The new Lacura Caviar Collagen Pro range is packed with ingredients usually found in high-end products, including skin-strengthening caviar extract, collagen and hydrating hyaluronic acid. Prices start at just £4.99 for the eye cream.
EASTER
Nothing says Easter like hot cross buns. This year Tesco has branched out from the original spiced recipe to create a range of tasty alternatives, including fruity blueberry and these Tesco Finest Salted Caramel and Chocolate Hot Cross Buns, £1.50. Try them toasted with butter.
HEALTH
Did you know that, according to an NHS study, one in three people in the UK struggles to swallow tablets? Re:nourish has launched a range of vitamin-packed supplements in powder form that can be mixed into food and drink, making them easy to take. Choose from Uplift, Calm and Immunity. Available for £11.99 from renourish.co.uk.
