■■Craghoppers Kalela

Jumpsuit, £70, craghoppers.com Holidays to hot, sunny places are getting ever closer (we’re keeping everything crossed!) and this casual but elegant lightweight jumpsuit is a new style for Craghoppers and part of the brand’s naturally derived antiinsect NosiBotanical range.

Made from a classic striped linen-and-cotton twill with Odour Control technology, it will keep you cool and fresh on those sultry nights and has a waist tie and three pockets, including one hidden and zipped for security.

■■iPhone 12 Mini, from £54 per month, £49 upfront, vodafone.co.uk Not everyone wants a big smartphone and this pocketsized premium beauty packs a whole heap of 5G-prepped tech.

The 5.4in IP68 water-resistant aluminium body and ceramic shield front cover encase a sparkling Retina XDR edge-toedge display, a superfast A14 Bionic chip and an outstanding dual camera.

Apps run at blistering speeds (even on 4G) and those oldfashioned phone calls, texts and emails work well too. The latest Apple devices don’t have a home button but getting used to that is very intuitive, plus facial recognition unlocks the screen.

There are so many clever touches and it’s a handy size with vibrant colours.

Some reviews criticise the battery life, but we had no such issues with our review device.

Every pair is hand-finished to order with online sizing done via a 60-second “fit finder”. There’s a free delivery and returns service in case the fit’s not quite right.
