Another handy thing about the Marshall bluetooth speaker above others that are similar is that for once you don't have to download an app to control the sound output – there are analogue knobs on top for a spot of fine tuning.

Did you know your skin is technically the largest organ on the body? Good fact that, isn’t it. Makes sense to look after the stuff, given that’s the case. If you currently use a face wash and moisturiser, a serum is a great additional item. Whereas moisturisers stay toward the top surfaces of your skin, serums generally go deeper into the surface, and are more about helping the skin long-term. This product from Elizabeth Arden helps to support the skin’s collagen, meaning it’ll help you with any concerns on fine lines and wrinkles, but it’ll also help your skin feel more hydrated and firmer – it works for all skin types. The product comes in convenient little capsules, so you’ll know how much to use per application too. There’s 38% off at the moment, making it an ideal time to take the skincare routine to the next level.

When it comes to sound quality, you can't go wrong with a pair of Beats. That's why their price point is so high, but much more manageable during a sale. Happily, the black, red and rose gold colours are all almost half-off this Black Friday and they come with a case too. The other great thing about Beats is their affiliation with Apple, which means their headphones come with an Apple chip – the magic ingredient that automatically connects them wirelessly to an Apple product without you having to faff around in settings. Control them via the 'b' on the sides to listen to music, take calls and summon Siri, and enjoy up to 40 hours playback on one full charge.
