The best housewarming gift ideas
Best housewarming gifts for couples
No more forgetting where you've put your keys – how cute is this hook for couples? And it can be personalised with their new door number and initials!
A good vacuum is a must, and Shark's Cordless Detect Pro is a great choice. Andrea Caamano, HELLO!’s Website Editor loves hers. She says: “I am a mum-of-two and my boys keep me on my toes in terms of cleaning. I recently opted for a heavy-duty corded vacuum but soon realised that it’s not very convenient if you have a house with three floors and the dirt piles up every minute of the day. I needed a change and opted for the Shark Cordless Detect pro and cleaning floors suddenly feels less like a chore and more like a treat.
"The cordless vacuum is very ultra-lightweight, and it is true that it detects different surfaces and quickly. My kitchen and dining room are connected and it’s incredible that I can vacuum my floorboard and rug without having to change settings. The floorhead also conveniently moves every way, making it easy to access those hard corners, and let’s not forget that it barely takes up any space under my stair cupboard."
