Mernie Gilmore reveals hot products this week

TECH

MISSING live gigs? Rock ’n’ roll speaker brand Marshall has launched new in-ear headphones that promise to mimic that just-in-front-of-the-stage sound. Mode II earphones, £159.99 (marshall.com) have 25 hours of playtime and you can adjust the EQ settings for a bassy or brighter sound.

DRINK

IF YOU live for a cup of coffee in the morning, you’ll love a Balance Coffee subscription, from £8.50, which sees delicious and unusual beans or freshly ground coffee delivered straight to your door. The company’s website, balancecoffee.co.uk, is full of useful tips on how to make the perfect cup, too.

EAT

WE LOVE sustainable children’s brand Play in Choc, not only because of its eco-friendly credentials and entirely recyclable packaging, but also because each box, £2.50 (playinchoc.com), contains two dairy-free chocolate treats and a miniature cardboard animal puzzle. Don’t miss the Easter-themed rabbit boxes.

BAKE

IF YOU’RE missing the Great British Bake Off, sign up for the new GBBO baking box (£19.99, bakeoffbox.co.uk). Each month you receive a recipe, such as one for these delicious lemon slices, all the dry ingredients plus a collectable piece of baking equipment. And 50p from each box goes to Stand Up to Cancer.

PAMPER

MAGNESIUM is known for its relaxing and sleepenhancing qualities, so adding a handful of Sanctuary Spa De-Stress Bath Salts with Magnesium, £8 (boots.com), to the tub before bed could be just the thing to help you drop off.
