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

I'd be interested in having information about gardening tools for those of us who haven't got the oomph to be wielding the usual, heavier garden tools. I struggle a bit with gripping tools, such as secateurs.

Another vote for thinning hair, vitamins, shampoos etc so many shops have reviews claiming they work but how long have people been using them for etc. Wigs/ hairpieces. The celebs seem to have them but for everyday use and ordinary person on the street how good value etc are they? Carpet cleaners? Diet/ healthy eating books. Pvc cleaners? Bleach alternatives? Failing all that, good quality chocolate!

would like a shampoo and conditioner that stops my hair thinning

Waterproof mascara would be a good product for me. I could put it through its paces!

Be great to get impartial advice on the best lightweight hand-held vacuum cleaner.

I would like to know more about products for thinning hair and dry skin especially on the hands and feet. Also any info relating to services for older people and which ones are the best and actually have helped. Thank you.

Walking equipment, family meals and skin care.

I'd like to test the mini printers that mean you can print from your phone

I would like to test a really effective cream for keeping my heels soft.

Face creams for Rosacea

Something for dry feet.The soles of mine are like sandpaper!

Steam irons- are there any reasonably priced ones out there that don't start leaving splodges of water all over the clothes after 15 minutes' use?

Though what I would really really love to test (and keep) would be an electric bike.

Baking stand mixers or sewing machines

Soup makers would be a good one to test

I'd love to test hair and beauty products, menopause related, kitchen products, holidays for single, older people, food and drink products, mortgages for older people

I've just bought a renovation project which we are living in as we do it up - I'd be happy to test anything DIY related.

Turmeric is a very effective anti-inflammatory and may well reduce pain.

Products or supplements for thin flaky pitted nails.

of course, if you ever need someone to test a Kitchen Aid mixer....

How to do homemade moisturisers etc - I saw a bbc programme once where a botanist (?) made all sorts of interesting things including a vodka-based mouthwash!!

I am also interested in gluten & dairy free ideas that the rest of my family might also eat.

Something about tools for diy that are easier to use when your hands are getting a bit weak - also perhaps a feature on exercise gadgets to remind you to do them? Feet and hands are getting a bit pathetic and don't want to just end up using insoles etc in my shoes.

I would like to test one of those SAD lights as this year it has been so dark and miserable out there. Also shampoo and conditioner, arch supports and anything that will help my arithritis in my knee.

I struggle like crazy with dog hairs everywhere So would love to try anything from Hoover's to Sticky tapes plus Rubber. Just to give me a chance to try so i can buy knowing I'm not wasting more money
