I would love to product test Gin! I would also love to test shampoos/conditioners/body washes which do not contain nasty chemicals, are fully natural and don't dry my skin out.

I'd love to test hair dryers. the price keeps going up and the more expensive ones (dyson) claim to be able to do wonderful things for my hair so I'd be interested in being able to test out these claims.

So many good suggestions in this discussion. I would gladly test several of them. One thing I would love to find is an eyebrow cosmetic that would improve the look of my brows without them looking drawn on. Something that is relatively quick and easy to use and comes in several shades, meaning that I can find one that is effective but looks natural.

I'm interested in cures for weak, splitting, soft nails. I've tried just about everything without luck. Such as eating jelly daily, Sally Hanson/W7/Avon/Orly, etc

I'd like to test facial moisturisers as my skin is really changing now and I don't want to look old and wrinkly before I get my bus pass!

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.

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.

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.

Any products that help with menopausal acne and hairiness.

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
