Bonus: it comes with a foil cutter to make the whole process even quicker. A set of Dr. Scholl's reviving foot masks to help relax your tired, achy feet after a long day of walking, working out, or just simply living life. Instead of throwing together a warm bathtub with epsom salts in it, just put on these booties instead — they're easier to use and not as messy! In just 30 minutes, the soothing formula gets to work, and one reviewer even called it a "spa in a pouch." A pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bag that makes packing feel like finally understanding the assignment and getting extra credit.

Medders at Large: Breakfast in the heat on the Costa del Medders
'What a glorious day!' Hermione never tires of saying it: 'What an absolutely glorious day!' And Medders agrees – because it certainly is an undeniably wonderful, sunny, cheerful, clear-skied, glorious morning with the merest hint of breeze. No argument. In fact it is so glorious that Hermione has brought her breakfast out of doors. She now sits demurely eating her fruit salad in the shade of an umbrella acquired when it was on offer as a weekly special in one of the supermarkets. 'Listen to those birds!' she exclaims, a spoonful of blueberries poised ready for popping into her mouth. Yes, listen to wood pigeons exchange their insistent calls from sun-dappled trees in the middle distance. She sighs in sheer, relaxed happiness. 'Who needs to fly to Spain, when we have such perfect conditions on our own doorsteps?' Medders can only concur that home is the place to be whenever the Irish weather is behaving itself.
