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

KIDS

Designed for little ones, Childs Farm has launched new limitededition bubble baths. Available in two seasonal fragrances, Gingerbread and Hot Chocolate & Marshmallow, both £4.50 (childsfarm.com), they smell good enough to eat and produce mountains of fluffy bubbles. The gentle formulations are suitable for even sensitive and eczema-prone skin.

BEAUTY

Or for a grown-up bath, you can’t get more relaxing than Westlab

Salts Starry Night,

£9.99. These fragranced Epsom bath salts are scented with warming and uplifting spiced orange, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and clove bud. Throw a handful into warm running water and let the festive scent help you unwind.

CHARITY

Lindt has teamed up with the NSPCC to raise money for Childline. For each £3 (100g) Lindt Teddy sold, £1 will be donated to the charity, which gives children free confidential support all year round. This year, the muchloved teddy is available in white chocolate for the first time too – what better excuse to treat yourself? Available in all major supermarkets.

HOME

If you’re looking for an easy and inexpensive way to revamp a room, Sass & Belle has a new collection of autumn/winter homeware that is stylish and won’t break the bank. From amber glass vases to statement mirrors, there is something for everyone. We love this chic round shelf, £25. Available at sassandbelle.co.uk.

DRINK

We’re starting to feel a bit festive, so couldn’t wait to tuck into a cup of this deliciously spiced T2 Merry Mulled Cider tea, £10. Inspired by mulled cider, this fruity combination of apple, cinnamon and gentle nutty notes is a warming blend that’s perfect for cold winter days. Visit t2tea.com.
