If you think I have a problem with shopping, you are absolutely right and that is why I am listing all the items I want to try this winter.
Disclaimer for my worried sisters: this doesn’t mean I will be buying everything. Maybe. But it would be nice to own most of these things. I am a bit of a material girl as such, but you knew that already.
So lately I have had Fred saying how she wants to shop and shop – which is quite new for her, I must say – and of course, I am ready to do some too because, why not?
Because I need to plan my expenses carefully, and with Christmas already done and dusted, I thought it would be fun to put the items to try this winter in a list, with cute pictures and all. Then eventually buy everything because yes.
Get your Amazon ready, it’s about to get serious.
The Items to Try This Winter

From top to bottom, left to right:
- The Laundry Egg by Ecoegg in Fresh Linen, £11.99 – you know it, we are trying to reduce our consumption of different items including laundry detergent, which we already do by using Smol. The Laundry Egg can be refilled and it’s also kind to the skin and allergy-friendly, which is a requirement we have for Cristina.
- Soft Teddy Fleece Weighted Blanket by Sleepdown in Blush Pink, £41.99 – I have never tried a weighted blanket before, but I am very intrigued as it’s meant to be a great way to help you relax and wind down, you know this gal is very much in panic-mode 24/7.
- Bamboo Bath Caddy by Amazon, £19.99 – I have been having hot baths more often lately and I am always bringing my laptop to watch Netflix, but also a thousand more things like phone, tea and snacks…you know, the whole deal. This will be used constantly, I know.
- Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker by Instant Pot, £89.99 – This could easily replace our slow cooker and rice cooker in one simple swift.
- The Outer Body by Heist Studios in Brown, £95.00 – not that I would have much use in the actual areas this would help given we’re locked in, but it looks great anyways and I love the colour. It’s shaping and smoothing, it’s made with breathable fabric and helps to support your posture and bust.
- Mango & Passion Fruit Solid Shower Gel by Shower Blocks, £4.50 – I was sold by the packaging, but don’t forget you’d be saving loads of plastic and you’d be doing good too: for every bar sold, someone in need will be able to shower too. Vegan and Paraben Free.
Anyone else ready to jump into buying all this with me? No? Okay.

You’ve mentioned some great items. I’d love to get a weighted blanket because so many people have said they work really well.
I have heard some mixed reviews, but I am always up for trying something – at the end of the day if it doesn’t work, it still looks cute x
The shower blocks look and sound so cool! I had no idea they existed. Definitely adding those to my shopping list ? great post, thanks for sharing!

Product no. 1, 2, 3 & 6 sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for reading this Fadima x
I desperately need one of those things for the bath! In fact, I might head over to Amazon right now and buy myself one. I’m always at risk of dropping my phone or my book in the bath! x
Jenny, the amount of times I had to fish out my phone… thank god for waterproof ahah! x
I’ve never thought about getting a weighted blanket before, but that blanket looks so cute and comfy, I might have to! These all look like good products to try though!
Thank you Deandra! Let me know if you try any x
That blanket looks so nice and cosy!! Always on the hunt for new cosy bits for around the flat x
Hey Hannah – this one is the epitome of cozy indeed x
Fab recommendations – I’ve considered a weighted blanket before, but never got around to buying one. I’ll have to check it out! Thanks for sharing x
This one is also a fleeced Teddy one so has bonus brownie points written all over it!
Ok but the blanket! I now need this in my life! Just had a wee look through your blog and I love it!
Oh Nicci, thank you for the kind words xx
Fantastic recommendations thank you so much for sharing! these look brilliant for Winter, too 🙂
Thank you Eleanor x
I’m so intrigued by the laundry egg! I would love something like that to reduce waste
Thank you Kalin – it looks very intriguing indeed, I am wondering if it is as effective as the SMOL tablets we use now.
I would love to get a bath caddy, watching a movie with a glass of gin or reading in the bath sounds super relaxing! Love the look of the weighted blanket too, I’ve never tried one either!
That caddy is such a great item, for cheap – and it’s made with bamboo!! The teddy fleece weighted blanked makes it even more luxurious, can’t wait to try one! x
