Feature Poppy Benner
This biometric padlock is great for securing garden gates, sheds and more, and can store up to 10 fingerprints – ideal for the whole family, as well as trusted friends and neighbours.
Desk buddies
If you sit at your desk (or dining room table) for long hours, then both comfort and aesthetics are important to help you work more efficiently, and the DeskPad definitely delivers with its soft feel and sleek look. This spill-resistant mat instantly transforms a cold, hard desk into a warm work surface with cushioning for the wrists. It’s also been created with an extra-wide design, so it’s large enough for an extended keyboard, mouse and graphics tablet – as well as a coffee cup, of course! Choose from Black or Grey to suit your scheme.
3 OF THE BEST... CUTE COASTERS
SCENT-SATIONAL
Say goodbye to stinky bins with EKO’s neat and discreet perfume holder, which easily attaches to your bin lid. Simply slot in a scented capsule for a burst of forest fragrance.
Breath of fresh air
If your allergies tend to flare up in spring, check out this air purifier – its filter captures 99.95% of allergens, bacteria, dust and pollen. It’s ideal for rooms up to 14 sq m, and you can set an eight hour timer and low-noise night mode, too. We love the addition of an essential oils diffuser, so you can welcome calming scents into your home at the same time as filtered air!
Fabulosa’s new hanging dehumidifiers help protect your clothes and keep garments smelling fresh for longer. Choose from Lush Pomegranate, Cotton Fresh, or Blush Babe and hang them in your wardrobe to help prevent mould and mildew. £1 each from B&M.
