From gorgeous, embroidered napkins from Dusk you’ll want to get out next time you’re hosting, to gorgeous mugs from Anna + Nina, making your morning coffee will taste even sweeter out.
Not only that, but makeup brushes by Victoria Beckham have just launched – and we’re lowkey obsessed, tanning drops that will give you that ‘year long glow’ without any sun damage thanks to James Read, and so much more – of course.
Better yet, if you’ve been looking for a new dining room table, Swyft have just launched one that’s just perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner dates.
Oh, and if that wasn’t enough to get you excited, Five Guys has just introduced a new Kids menu featuring a Little Hamburger, Mini Fries, and Mini Soda for £7. Available from April 8 in stores across England, Scotland, and Wales. The menu also includes options like Hot Dogs and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
Talking of food, Maya Jama, the queen of UK TV screens, is teaming up with Uber Eats to launch a limited-time ‘Revive & Thrive’ menu. Known for her iconic one-liners and legendary post-party feasts, Maya’s new menu features comfort food with a glamorous twist. Highlights include Gochujang Mac ‘n’ Cheese, a Smash Burger with watermelon jam, and a coffee-infused sticky toffee pudding. Available on April 12 and 13, the dishes are priced at £5 each, with exclusive access for Uber One members on the first day.
We can always trust Maya to treat us right when it comes to good food choices too.
