Experience

I have tried a few products from this brand - trainer socks, regular socks, fluffy socks and underwear. All of the items fit well and the socks stay in place and don't move around in your shoes - even the trainer socks. My favourites are the fluffier/heavier socks. They keep your feet warm and are still comfortable in shoes (as i'm writing this, I'm wearing a pair of thin ankle socks with some fluffier bombas socks on top - the combo is comfy stuffed into my Blundstone boots).

Feedback

The underwear feels a bit thin and like it's probably not going to last that long. They aren't my go-to.

I spotted these in a supermarket on a trip to Vienna. I tried the peach, ginger, ginseng and dandelion flavour and it tastes like a delicious iced tea.

Feedback

Inside the box each tablet is individually wrapped, which feels wasteful.

The brand says it can take some people two weeks to transition to using natural deodorant which is a long time to feel stinky for. I gave it about a month, but after not seeing any improvement I decided this didn't work for me. I would say I'm a moderately sweaty person and this experiment made me realise that I do need to use an anti-perspirant.

Feedback

The case felt a bit flimsy, like it might break. The scents are really nice but not as strong as other deodorant brands.

Delicious! The flavours aren't too sweet which I like. The blood orange and cardamom is my favourite. A great substitute for spirit and mixer drinks if you don't feel like having alcohol. You could also use them as mixers.

Feedback

I would like it if they were a bit more fizzy.

I love this jacket so much. The jackets are excellent value in terms of the quality/uniqueness, but as it's still a fair bit of money to spend I was a bit worried that I'd end up picking the wrong size or something. I didn't need to be concerned though — the size guide was easy to use and it fits me perfectly. The finished product is so beautiful, and I liked getting updates on the making process. It's the sort of piece where you want people to ask where it's from!

Feedback

This is minor but it'd be good to pick your delivery day. I was initially going to be on holiday when it was due, and sometimes the delivery people here leave stuff hidden or with random neighbours. (Fortunately timings changed, so it wasn't a problem.)

Tony's Chocolonely

Really yummy chocolate, price is a bit higher than your average chocolate bar but definitely worth it. I feel like a lot of fancy/eco chocolate brands don't have a great selection of milk chocolate, but Tony's does.

Feedback

They work with a supplier that has been linked to slavery (although there is no slavery in their own supply chain). Their argument is that it's necessary in order to produce the chocolate at scale. I do understand, but it's also not great vibes. Hopefully as they grow they can put more pressure on their partner to improve or find some other alternative.

Experience

I got the Soothe You gummies and the Pollenade sodas. The packaging is beautiful, especially on the gummies. A lot of extra stuff came in my package — stickers, a little journal, etc, which I didn't personally use but they were nicely designed and I can see how people would find the journal useful. I'm not sure if it was a placebo effect or not, but I did actually feel a bit more chilled out after drinking the sodas and gummies (they were tasty too!).

Feedback

It would be nice if there was an option to not have the clutter that came in the package because I felt bad throwing it away - perhaps the brand could ask at checkout. The products are pretty expensive and I'm not sure if I could ever justify buying the drops (£85 for the starter kit...).

I got the almond croissants and they were delicious. The instructions are pretty straightforward. I filled and rolled the dough in the evening so they could proof overnight, then cooked them for breakfast.

Feedback

Would love to know if the croissants can be frozen, because six is quite a lot to get through between two people (but I'm sure we will manage). The box is pretty big and only just fit in our fridge, if you have a small fridge you might struggle!

The cans look great and the drink itself is really tasty (although I didn't notice an effect from the CBD). I haven't tried the oils.
