I'm surviving the UK heatwave with this lifesaver handheld fan – on sale now for £14
THIS little Amazon fan has seriously saved me in the heat.
I picked up the Jsdoin handheld fan a couple of weeks ago, and at just £13.99 on sale, it's been one of my best summer buys.
Jsdoin Handheld Fan, £15.99 £13.99
Amazon's full of hidden gems, and this little fan showed up just in time for the heatwave.
It's on sale for £13.99, and honestly, I don't know how I'd be getting through this heat without it.
I grabbed it on a bit of a whim, but with an amber heat health alert for England in place, it's been a lifesaver.
If you're like me, your sweaty, slightly desperate future self will be very grateful you got one while it's on offer.
But, for something so small, the Jsdoin fan is shockingly powerful.
It has five speed settings and throws out some serious airflow, but even on the lowest, it takes the edge off.
When I'm on the train and the air feels thick and still, this thing is a lifesaver.
It's quiet too, so I don't feel awkward using it in public, and it doesn't rattle like cheaper fans I've tried before.

At my desk, it sits neatly in the little stand it comes with, so I angle it towards me and just get on with things without slowly melting into my chair.
There's even a slot for aromatherapy tablets if you're into that (one's included, though I haven't used it yet).
It charges via USB-C and lasts way longer than I expected, up to 15 hours depending on the speed setting.
There's no annoying slow fade-out either; it holds its strength until the battery's actually done.
I really like the LCD display, which shows exactly how much battery I've got left.
I always know when it needs a charge and don't get caught out when I need it most.
It also folds up, weighs basically nothing, and comes with a lanyard if you want to wear it around your neck.
This fan isn't the only solution; we've also put together some cheap tricks to stay cool during a heatwave.
But if you want something simple that actually works and doesn't cost a fortune, this one's hard to beat.
I'm not the only fan (pardon the pun) it's had thousands of 5-star reviews and over 10,000 sold in the past month.
One shopper praised, 'I first got one last year when in the hospital and the windows were rubbish, and this fan worked wonders.
'So when we had that short week of heat, I bought my children one each. Worth every penny.'
Another agreed, adding, 'Pretty powerful for a small fan, plus loved the stand and the way it folds.'
If you're roasting on the go or just need something to make the heatwave feel a bit more bearable, this fan is absolutely worth £14.

Guess which holiday wardrobe cost £250 and which cost over £5000
The flights are booked. You've paid extra for seats, luggage, taxis. There's no need for a new outfit – and yet, the pull of a shiny purchase remains. Look after your clothes and high-summer pieces can last for years. We wear holiday clothes less than everyday basics, and summer trends move slowly. But the right 'It' item brings joy – instantly elevating old favourites the moment you arrive poolside. So what's on the summer 2025 fashion hit list? According to my friends and colleagues: printed shirt-and-trouser co-ords, jelly sandals, oval sunglasses with golden frames. Raffia totes have overtaken baskets as the must-have carry-all, while bohemian kaftans and the universally flattering crinkle one-piece remain staples. But how do you tell a one-season wonder from a clever buy? Joshua Orlandini, menswear and womenswear buyer at Liberty, says durability is key. 'While holiday pieces are often seen as seasonal, the best offer longevity and versatility. A well-made piece you wear for years is far better than something trend-led that's discarded after one trip.' Stories abound of hotel rooms strewn with fast fashion fails that never made it home – a reminder that quality and sustainability are still an afterthought for many. So, is it possible to shop smart and still enjoy that holiday thrill? Supermarkets are stepping up with budget-friendly takes on summer's 'It' items. I compared them with designer pieces I'd buy if budget were no issue. Can you tell which is which?

This season's modern-preppy fashion pieces you need if you want to look chic this summer, from £17
Following hot on the tails of Miu Miu's coveted preppy runway looks, the high street is here with an offering to challenge the designers. From sports jackets and perfectly placed pleats to polo dresses and chunky loafers – they've got it all. Throw yourself head first into this trend and lean into it from top to bottom for maximum effect; think knitwear round your shoulders, thick socks pulled up high and oversized frames. If you feel like you've walked off the set of the next season of Rivals, you are probably doing it right. The joy with this trend is that it is transitional, so you aren't parting with your cash for something that will be of no use to you next season. It revolves around neutral colours with injections of burgundy, navy and forest green; meaning that you can often style up with most of your existing wardrobe, and ultimately get a lot more cost per wear. Jumper, £140, and shirt, £120, Dress, £179, Earrings, £75, Socks, £17, Shoes, £99, Blazer, £149, Dress, £46, Earrings, £32, Shoes, £175, Dress, £35.99, Earrings, £32, Bag, £365, Jacket, £42, Top, £119, Trousers, £34.90, Socks, £17, Trainers, £90, Blazer, £370, and trousers, £240, Pyjama shirt, £79 (part of set), Earrings, £145, Shoes, £225, Cardigan, £345, Dress, £299, Glasses, £150, Earrings, £32, Hair: Jamie McCormick using Hair by Sam McKnight. Make-up: Jose Bass using Chanel Les Beiges Golden Hour Collection and No1 de Chanel Body Serum-In-Mist. Model: Georgina at Models 1.

I'm 95, why shouldn't I look glam at a summer wedding?
PROBLEM 'I have a family wedding this year and would love to find something to match my playful personality, instead of the usual old-fashioned outfits aimed at my age group.' SOLUTION There's something elegant about a floor-length dress, especially for a formal occasion. It feels more modern than a midi style. We teamed this Live Unlimited design with on-point gold sandals and a pink suede bag. As Ann proves, there's no reason to stop having fun with fashion as you get older. VERDICT 'I love this dress – I feel special and glamorous in it – and trendy accessories keep it feeling young. The shoot was such a memorable day and will be talked about in my family for years to come!' Hair: Dayna Vaughan-Teague at Carol Hayes using L'Oréal Professionnel. Make-up: Levi-Jade Taylor at Carol Hayes using Tatcha and Anastasia Beverly Hills
