Cloudsurfer Max

Senior Commerce Writer, Georgia Trodd's verdict: “Is it just me, or has everyone's boyfriend become a professional runner this year? From half marathons to park runs, he can't get enough, which means his trainers need to be replaced much more frequently. I've heard great things about this tangerine pair, the maximum cushioned sole primed for long runs.”

TikTok is telling us to add crispy chill oil to everything, and who are we to argue?

I don't know about you, but I am slowly trying to upgrade mypartner'ss skincare and wellness products, first by this Malin + Goetz Bergamot vegan deodorant, using plant power and essential oils alongside odour neutralising enzymes to protect and nourish.

Black Lines Rum Punch

Black Lines have been smashing it with their various bottled cocktail options for us right now. We tried and tested the Oatnog at Christmas (which was a smash hit in our household ) and this rum punch with two drifter rum, pineapple, passionfruit, ginger and bitters is divine. Perfect for a Friday night in, or dinner alfresco when the sunshine decides to enter the chat.

Theo Wool-Cashmere Check Scarf

It's a gifting staple — because it's likely that only a few would splash out on a wool and cashmere blend for themselves. We love the modern checked finish, but more so the 95% wool, 5% cashmere blend, working effectively to keep him warm and cosy all winter long.
