I'd like to test gloves: washing up and gardening types.
Also net curtain whiteners and floor cleaners.
You can see I'm looking forward to spring cleaning! Not! wink

I've been given some lovely sleep mist from This Works - they do a whole range of wellbeing products - I'd love to test some of their 'In Transit Camera Close up primer' - it looks lush! In fact any of their products ...they all look terrific, but a little too pricey to try to without some recommendations first. ;)

My vacuum cleaner has died on me so I would love the opportunity to test one of those neat lightweight hand held ones. I know Dyson makes one but I am sure there are other brands around too...

Hair colour for REALLY stubborn grays. The hair at my temples just won't accept colour so I am permanently two-toned! If proven to work I would happily purchase - for ever.

Old age thins the skin, so any decent hand cream or, OK, I admit it, face cream/moisturiser would be great, too.

Any product that helps those aging - problems with arthritis, mobility, etc., would be great. Even robots!

Although becoming old and decrepit, we are still human 'beans' with money to spend and do not need pensioning off in a quiet corner!!

sweir1 Wed 03-Jan-18 13:22:31

I would like to try anything for my son's greasy hair.

McGilchrist41 Thu 04-Jan-18 12:42:28

Best shoes to wear for an arthritic ankle. Best shampoo for thinning hair. Cordless vac. That lasts for longer without a charge.

cocomoco Thu 04-Jan-18 14:13:09

And yet another one with thinning hair! Anything to help with that or thickening products would be really good.

Moisturiser for mature skin/wrinkles!

Running socks...or anything running related smile

vampirequeen Thu 04-Jan-18 14:35:49

Any products that help with menopausal acne and hairiness.

Elizabeth180 Thu 04-Jan-18 15:50:40

Could various kitchen cleaners be tested please - i.e. which ones are best at leaving the sink sparkling clean. Also stain removers for deep seated stains. I've tried them all I think and they just don't remove some stains.

Tabs1 Thu 04-Jan-18 16:37:24

An Amazon Echo to see just how useful... Fairly technically savvy despite age, but just don't understand how these work or what real benefits are.

daisyduck Thu 04-Jan-18 23:24:39

I'd love to test lotions for my very dry skin and some intensive cream for dry cracked heels.
Low sugar snacks would be good too.
