Gransnet Insight end of year thread: chances to win! NOW CLOSED

a (reasonably priced) handheld vacuum cleaner - I've yet to find one that works effectively. Oh, and some decent moisturiser - my skin is so dry during the winter!

Oh yes, and products for flaking and splitting nails!

Tablets : the electronic kind! Am considering buying one but the variation in price between makes is staggering. Would love to know whether ones for less than £100 are as good as the top range ones.

Any trials would be amazing and gratefully received, but especially things to help around the home or beauty trials, every little helps!

Any product that stops me looking so old!

I'm another one that would be happy to try products aimed at improving thinning hair. Dairy-free foods, especially treat-type foods would also be good as I rarely get any munchie treats I can eat. Any kitchen or household items (top of my 'need' rather than 'want' list would be new mattresses for 2 double beds, an ironing board and iron, a bread maker, a blender/food processor). My 'want' list would be for things like new laptops, iPads, printer, kindle or other e-reader thingys (my better half would love me to have any means of not adding more physical books to my 'personal library'!) I have always loved stationery so any notepads, journals, pens etc would be welcome - and I quite fancy a go at the adult colouring books. Our 2 cats would be happy to try any appropriate pet food and cat treats - our local animal rescue would be happy to try products for a range of other animals, and the birds, squirrels and fox family would welcome any foods and feeders for wildlife in our garden (I'd also love beehives and other insect habitats). Posh bath products, warm clothing/thermals and petite (very petite) clothing (mostly for casual comfy wear but other items OK too) and comfy wide-fitting shoes, boots and trainers. Cleaning products are always handy and storage solutions like shelving, boxes, chests, bags, chest-of-drawers (small ones) etc that could help me to organise things better.

I would like to product test a pet vacuum to see if it's worth purchasing. I have a decent vacuum which is great for picking up everything but pet hair, so I would replace it if I could find anything which would work.

Skin cream for ‘mature’ skin! And hand cream to help the wrinkles as my hands look older than the rest of me!

Would like to test Porridge! So many choices nowadays and varied prices so would be nice to test some out each morning

I'd love to test anti aging products to find out what really works and if expensive price tags make any difference in the results!

Pilates clothes & gear. Mats. Balls & all the extras for helping to,keep the ageing body in shape.

I would like you to test vacuum cleaners and hard floor mops

I'd like to try reasonably priced moisturiser for 'mature skin'
and are window vacuum cleaners as good as they say ?
and something to make my hair 'stand up' not lie flat on my scalp.
Mattress toppers..do they make a difference?

I would love to try insoles specifically for arthritis or stain remover. Maybe a really good moisturiser

I would love to find a mascara that just makes my lashes look longer. Whichever brand I try it always cloggs up and looks lumpy.

A Squeeze mop that can tackle wooden floors, we have a dog that tends to have mistakes when we go out and this needs something that can be more robust. I find that cleaning with a cloth mop leaves the floor a bit wet and it tends to get messy with foot prints.

I'd be interested in products to help my thinning hair. I see others have said this. It seems to be a big problem for the more mature woman! I'm also interested in a good facial moisturiser as my skin has become very dry.

Spray on conditioners for frizzy ends but greasy roots . My current conditioner is giving me spots !

I would love to test streaming channels so that I can see the shows everyone is talking about

A really light moisturiser for the face s soon as i wear any i get spots also a decent suncream yhat does not feel like its sliding down my neck.

I'd love to test shampoos for thin hair. Also, hair removing creams would be good.

Make up with ranges and colours that suit the more mature skin, not tested on animals and preferably vegan

Cordless hand held vacuum cleaners.

A robotic vacuum cleaner. Now there’s a thought. I don’t know if one exists that’s up to the challenge of our house. Do they do one which tidies away abandoned shoes, newspapers, mugs, toys....

Robotic vaccum cleaners, I really would like one, but they range in price a lot & don't know anyone who already has one.
