How to survive autumn with British brands
Eat well
Britain has fallen back in love with porridge. Whole oats are nutritious and rich in anti-oxidants, and can lower cholesterol and improve blood sugar control. Oats are the third largest crop grown in the UK. They fill you up so make a great breakfast but can also be used to make a wide variety of sweet and savoury dishes too. Combined with other natural ingredients from your kitchen cupboard, oats can make natural beauty treatments such as an exfoliator, facemask or skin cleanser.

Love your feet
It’s time to put those toes away and fill the sock drawer! Socks are important for your overall foot health. Socks absorb moisture, but provide cushioning to pad the feet and help keep them warm. As we go into the chillier months, socks can help prevent cold feet! Brighten up this season with these fun socks for all the family from Roy’s Boys. Just make your selection and the company will send you a box bundled of socks for all the family. It’s the perfect stockingfiller gift for everyone!
Adjust your skin routine
These rich, deeply replenishing lip balms intensively condition, repair and protect dry or chapped lips without being overly greasy. Combining British beeswax with a trio of oils – crambe, echium and borage – to provide long lasting soft and supple lips. The trio comes in a stylish reusable cotton drawstring bag and contains no parabens, synthetic colours, mineral oils or silicones. The set contains three flavours – raspberry & white chocolate, lime blossom & honey and vanilla & honey.
Blanket fever
Honeycomb is a traditional Welsh textile woven from beautiful sheep's wool on the Isle of Shetland. The yarn is processed, spun and dyed there too. This honeycomb blanket is Vanessa Arbuthnott’s first foray into woven blankets, and stays close to her ethos of working with artisans close to home. The main blanket colour is a light blue, with a stripe coloured edging in the following three colour options – powder blue, saffron and charcoal. It’s ideal for throwing over the back of the sofa or as a runner on your bed on chillier evenings and nights.
Relax in style
We love this super cute hot water bottle cover in stylish graphite grey with a light tipping. It’s ultra cuddly all year round, but during the colder spells, Eric accommodates a small hot water bottle through an opening in his back. This hot water bottle cover is the ultimate soothing friend, and the sheepskin keeps the bottle much warmer for a lot longer. It’s perfect for duvet days!
