This is a good week to think about buying... a new oven. Whether you’ve been inspired to improve your baking skills during the lockdown or think you might need to replace your oven before cooking the turkey on Christmas Day, December is a remarkably good time to do so.

Buying an oven this month can actually shave more than an average £100 off the cost when compared to buying a new one in the most expensive month of July.

This week, we reckon UK consumers will l be shopping for... speakers. Now we know Christmas is back on for most of us – to some extent, at least – lots of people will be going out to purchase items for the small festive gatherings that will be allowed.

With things such as carol singing and karaoke posing a slightly increased risk of infection spread, consumers are going to have to get creative with their entertainment.

They might be looking to invest in items such as bluetooth speakers to ensure there is still some musical accompaniment to our yuletide.

The most popular bluetooth speakers on the market at the moment are the Amazon Echo Dot, Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 and the JBL Flip Essential.
