This post is sponsored by Amazon and, I’ll be honest, it’s probably my dullest one yet. No fashion, no beauty — just 20 of the most useful things I’ve bought over the past few years. I went back into the archives of my purchase history, skipped past all the cat food, birthday presents, and underpants orders, and filtered out the shoelaces, toothpaste, and general nonsense to come up with 20 items that are genuinely useful. So here we go:
-
Wool and Cashmere Comb – For smartening up your sweaters without the fear of making holes in them.
-
Pet Hair Remover – This little thing will make you appalled at your hoover, as it pulls up so much hair from the stairs carpet you didn’t even know was there.
-
Pyrex Magic Oven Dish – Really is magic. Makes the best roasties ever.
-
Moth Killer Sachets – Pop them in your knitwear drawer and replace every 4 months.
-
Lavazza Milk Frother – So much better than the Nespresso one for cappuccino lovers.
-
Lab Co. Cashmere and Wool Spray – Freshens up your knits instead of washing.
-
Table Bag Hangers – Because your fancy handbag should not live on the floor when you go out.
-
Tefal Vegetable Chopper – I’ve bought this for so many people. A cooking must-have.
-
Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece – Saved my marriage. End of story.
-
Joseph Joseph Pocket Ironing Board – For those of us with houses too small for a full-size version.
-
Heel Cushion Pads – Never get a blister again with these bad boys.
-
3‑in‑1 Foldable Charger – For holidays or everyday. Charges everything at once.
-
Satin Padded Hangers – Perfect for cardigans so they don’t lose their shape.
-
Velvet Slim Hangers – For all your other clothes (except jumpers — those should always be folded).
-
Kaps Waterproof Spray – For all your suede items.
-
Ninja Zerostick Frying Pan – Actually works (unlike some much more expensive ones I could mention).
-
MyHalo Silk Sleep Mask – With eye dents so your eyelashes don’t get squashed.
-
Can Crusher – A must if you live in a house of beer and Coke drinkers.
-
Long Charger Cable – Because the standard ones are never long enough.
-
Lambswool Insoles – For when it gets cold. Just get them, thank me later.
