Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives.
1. Clean your garden
Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech's Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.
2. Weeding
Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round.
3. Hedge maintenance
Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.
4. Composting
Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.
5. Look after your lawn
Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely.

Boots launches £45 festival beauty bag worth £161 with Sol de Janeiro and Skin + Me

BOOTS just launched a beauty box for festival goers, with £161 worth of products for £45. The edit includes 13 beauty treats to kit shoppers out for the festival in their diary, with products from cult favourite brands like Sol de Janeiro, Skin + Me and Anastasia Beverly Hills. Boots Festival Beauty Bag, £45 (worth £161.34) Glastonbury is two weeks away, so the Boots Festival Beauty Bag has dropped just in time for festival season. The collection of skincare, body and make-up buys includes a full-size version of the viral Milk Cooling Water Jelly Tint (worth £22) that reviewers have described as "amazing". The blush and lip stain combo has a cooling effect, that works to give a natural glow that's perfect for festival looks. Also inside to elevate any festival look is the The Beauty Crop Dewy Bounce Setting Mist, along with Too Faced's Kissing Jelly Gloss (worth £21). Boots has thought of everything with its new edit, including a Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo and the TikTok famous Luna Spray-To-Wipe Body Cleansing Spray for staying fresh on the go. No Boots beauty box would be complete without a product from Sol de Janeiro, and the retailer has thrown in a Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mist from the trending brand. Nine out of the 13 products are full-size, while the other minis are great for travelling, including Skin + Me's popular moisturiser with SPF. Everything is packaged inside a drawstring bag, which can carry the beauty products or other essentials during the festival. Full list of contents: Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint -Fresh (full-size) Luna Daily The Everywhere spray to wipe original 30ml (full-size) Too Faced Kissing Jelly Gloss in the shade Rasbperry 4.5ml (full-size) The Beauty Crop Dewy Bounce Setting Mist 100ml (full-size) Monday Haircare Original Dry Shampoo 200ml (full-size) Kylie Cosmetics Kylash Volume Mascara 12ml (full-size) Skin + Me Daily Moisturiser with SPF 50 for Oily to Combination Skin 24ml (full-size) Sacheu Lip Liner Stay-n in the shade coreal 3.5ml (full-size) Sol De Janeiro Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mist 30ml ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Brow Freeze Deluxe 2.5g John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Hairspray 75ml Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50 3ml sachet ONE of either of the following: Eylure Pre-Glued Cluster Lashes Natural 30 clusters (full-size) or Boots' beauty boxes usually sell out, including the Make More Room For Beauty Box worth £227.

I sampled supermarket iced coffees for the sunny weekend… my £1.25 pick is perfect balance of earthy taste & sweetness

THE sun has got its hat on – and more and more of us are reaching for an iced coffee to stay refreshed. But rather than splash a fortune at the cafe, you can pick up supermarkets' own drinks for a fraction of the price. Sophie Warburton samples what is on offer, and gives her verdicts and marks out of five . . . 10 Arctic Coffee Cafe Latte 330ml – £1.25 A FAVOURITE of mine for many years. Arctic says it is made with 'only the best ingredients', including Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee beans, in powder form. In fact, I noticed this was the only drink that used coffee powder, rather than extract. Another reason Arctic trumps the rest is how it manages to balance that earthy coffee taste with sweeter notes. Starbucks Caffe Latte 220ml – £2.55 CREAMY, sweet, nicely pack-aged and perfect for when you're on the go. Great for those newer to iced coffee as it's quite sweet but you can still taste espresso. Very moreish. You spike the lid with a straw, making it hard to spill. The only downside is it's a bit pricey, as you may expect with Starbucks. This coffee is a lovely combination of full-fat milk, water and Arabica coffee extract. RATING: 5/5 'survey reveals what your ice cream eating habits could say about your personality' Costa Cafe Latte 330ml – £2.55 VERY similar to the Starbucks caffe latte but thicker. In fact, this latte was perhaps a little too thick for my liking, as I felt a bit full after drinking it. I did enjoy it but you probably wouldn't want to drink too many of these. Again, this one is a little bit on the pricey side. The drink is made up of semi-skimmed milk, coffee extract and water. RATING: 4/5 Jimmy's Iced Coffee 275ml – £2.10 UNPOPULAR opinion because I have heard rave reviews about this one, but I thought it tasted watery and bland. It's not terrible, but in comparison to the competition it was tasteless. It's also priced at £2.10 in Tesco, so not even the cheapest option. This coffee has been put together with semi-skimmed milk, water and single-origin Arabica coffee. RATING: 3/5 Emmi Caffe Latte Cappuccino 230ml – £1.85 TOO sweet for me, it also features a chocolatey component – and it's all a bit much. Not one for those of us who want to taste the coffee. If I had to choose the drink that it's most similar to, it's the Starbucks caffe latte. They feature similar designs but this one is more of a dupe. It's concocted with semi-skimmed milk and brewed Arabica coffee. RATING: 3/5 M&S Oat Latte Cold Brew Coffee 250ml – £2.60 RATHER unpleasant, I'm sorry to report. This drink was quite thin and I could only really taste watery oat milk. I've also decided I'm not a huge fan of coffee in a tin, like this, and much prefer it in a glass or bottle. This drink is concocted from water, Arabica coffee and oats – much like its sibling, below, but just worse. M&S Chilled Cold Brew Oat Latte 250ml – £2.60 COMES in a minimalist plastic bottle – and that pretty much sums it up. Minimal flavour, and I wasn't crazy about this one. The oat milk is quite punchy, though, and I preferred this latte to the other M&S one I tried. The oat milk tasted of good quality – the kind that's almost slightly powdery. The drink is made from water, Arabica coffee and oats. RATING: 3/5 Quarterpast Iced Coffee Concentrate 360ml – £4.50 NEVER again – unless I'm really desperate. Sweetened with cane sugar and very gloopy, this was seriously overpowering. It hasn't altered one bit my low opinion of concentrated coffee. This one works in the same way as Nescafe's concentrate. You just add 20ml to a glass with ice, and top with milk. Enough for 18 servings. RATING: 1/5 Barista Coffee Co. Caffe Latte 250ml – 80p OH dear, this is just sickly and, well, plain boring. Not something that I would go looking for again next time I fancy an iced latte. This was, however, by far the cheapest option of the drinks I tried out – so if you're on a budget, this could be just about bearable. It is created from semi-skimmed milk, water and instant coffee.

Three delicious ways to recreate the flavour of caramelised biscuits

BRITAIN'S gone crazy for the flavour of caramelised biscuits. From market leader Biscoff to own-brand supermarket products, you can get the sweet taste in ice creams, cookies, cheesecakes, sponge puds and – increasingly – in liquid form. 7 Enjoy the treats for less with these sweet ideas . . . DRINK UP: Dunking may have had its day. Instead, enjoy that biscuit taste as part of the drink itself. For a Biscoff latte, stir a tablespoon of spread into a quarter cup of strong coffee, then top with hot milk. For a more decadent drink, add whipped cream. For a cooler treat, blend a scoop of ice cream with half a cup of milk, a ripe banana and then a heaped tablespoon of Biscoff spread. SUPER SPREADERS: The main ingredient for these tastes can come from a 400g jar of Biscoff, down from £3.35 to £2.60 at Waitrose. You could also try Asda's caramelised biscuit spread for £1.99. As well as eating it on toast, you can make chocolate chip cookies, putting a dollop of the spread on top of the cookies before baking. For brownies, make your usual recipe and pour half the batter into the tin. Put random teaspoons of Biscoff spread over the mixture then cover with the rest of the batter. Make DIY Biscoff ice cream by stirring swirls of the spread into low-cost vanilla ice cream. You could crumble some of the biscuits on top, too. UP YOUR GAME: A pack of caramelised biscuits can be used for next level desserts. They are a triumph in no-bake cheesecakes, using crushed Biscoff instead of digestives in the base. Whisk a couple of heaped tablespoons of the spread into the topping mixture, too. How to cook the perfect biscoff apple crumble and it's the best thing you'll ever make in the air fryer They also transform a tiramisu. Use a double layer of biscuits instead of sponge fingers. Dip in coffee before using them to cover the bottom of a dish. Spoon over mascarpone whipped with cream and top with grated chocolate. All prices on page correct at time of going to press.
