Household Must Haves
19
items These are my must have items for the home from Amazon, Tik Tok shop, Lakeland, Rituals. Includes laundry must haves, storage, lighting and an ice machine thrown in for good measure.
These baskets fold completely flat. They are reasonably priced. I have about 4 so that I have some to put my wet washing in from the machine and then a few more to take the clean laundry to the bedrooms to be put away.
Collapsible Foldable Mesh Laundry Basket Grey
These are so handy and so much easier than using clingfilm or tin foil. Really useful when you’re doing picky bits and essential if you live in the countryside and have pesky flies in the summer.

I cannot have a drink without ice so this machine is a must have for me. It is a permanent fixture in my kitchen and on the go all day.
EUHOMY ICE MAKER MACHINE
I do love a hoover but cannot stand heads and this little handheld is so handy for quickly hoovering up messes. Really good for inside cupboards. It’s quite powerful and battery lasts a decent amount of time.

The first time I bought this rug it was in a bit of a whim. But I’ve now purchased about 3 now. They are supposed to be washable but not tried that yet. They are quite thin but still transforms a space.

Very useful product for removing dog hair from furniture and clothes and since they are wider than the usual lint rollers they do the job in no time at all.

This is my favourite scent from Rituals and I find the room sprays last a long time so you get your moneys worth plus the scent has good lasting power too.

I do love a rechargeable lamp that you can move around the house and has no leads which is essential in an old house like mine where the plug sockets are not in well thought out places.

Very handy product rather than getting all of the iron and board out.

I have the yellow ones and use them for in my ottoman storage bed as things still get dusty if not covered.

I’ve just upgraded to these storage containers for storing left overs. They are glass containers with plastic lids so great for putting into the freezer, defrosting in the microwave and then washing in the dishwasher. The size is also good as they ar...
