We Just Have To Share These 43 New And Trending Drops With You

These are the most exciting things we've tried or heard about lately!

1. I don't know who needs to hear this, but SEPHORA HAVE FINALLY LAUNCHED IN THE UK!!!

Sephora / Valeza Bakolli / Via BuzzFeed

"Yep, you can now shop loads of brands that are exclusive to Sephora UK. Think: Tarte Cosmetics, ILIA, Makeup by Mario, ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starr, GXVE by Gwen Stefani, Skinfix, Vegamour, and of course, Sephora's own collection! *squeals*"

–Valeza Bakolli

Check the new UK website out here.

2. Gozney have just released a new Signature Edition Roccbox pizza oven, and not only is it gorgeous, but it has a pretty special meaning behind it too!

Gozney

"I own a Roccbox wood-fired pizza oven myself so I can personally vouch for their incredibly stunning and easy-to-use designs! This black colourway is (if possible) even more sleek than my beloved sage green one. The Tom Gozney Signature Edition Roccbox celebrates Tom’s 15-year odds-defying journey from alcohol and drug dependency to visionary designer. As such, £40 from every Tom Gozney Signature Edition Roccbox sale in the UK will go directly to the brand’s new charity partner, With You, to help them provide free and confidential support to anyone experiencing issues with drugs or alcohol."

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £499

3. The bestselling No7 advent calendar is now out, and with one selling every three seconds on launch day last year, I'd be quick to snap it up!

Boots

"You'll save a whopping £161.50 on this selection of No7's best beauty bits (most of which are full size!) including six limited edition products."

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £49.50 for 25 products.

4. Tada & Toy have just released their new Be-jewelled collection and I, for one, am obsessed.

Tada & Toy

"Each piece in the collection features a range of the most stunning colourful stones. I fell in love with these burgundy and brown huggie hoops on sight (I mean, how autumnal are those colours?!). If you have multiple piercings they'd look great worn on the same ear."

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £95 for the small huggie hoops in 18ct gold vermeil.

5. CENTRED's award-winning En-Root scalp oil is designed to take care of the most neglected part of your skincare routine.

Sephora

"Whether you use it to style your hair back into a sleek bun during the day or as a more intensive treatment before you shower, you're sure to notice a difference. It's basically like a facial for your scalp, plus the lightweight formula won't leave your hair feeling greasy!"

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £36

6. If the unexpectedly good weather recently has had you eyeing up some new sunnies, Taylor Morris’ new collection of eyewear is utterly dreamy.

"Each pair has an incredibly timeless feel, so if you’re looking for sunglasses that you’ll wear year after year (and through multiple seasons!), I’d check out their high-quality selection. From classic, wear-with-anything frames to tinted shades that nod to the ever-popular Y2K trend, there’s something for everyone!"

–Valeza Bakolli

Check out the Ladbroke sunglasses here for £150, and the Oxford sunglasses here for £160 – they each come in different coloured frames and tints.

7. Pact's Christmas blend ground coffee is the best I've ever tried, full stop.

Amazon / Via pactcoffee.com

"I first heard of Pact at a PR event, where I followed the irresistible scent of their brews like a cartoon elephant chasing a bun. It lived up to the smell: I was given the richest, most satisfying cuppa I've ever tried, so I was *extra* happy when I heard that all their perfectly-roasted beans come from a select few sustainable farms whose owners the team know by name. If that doesn't convince you to give Pact a try, their addictive ground Christmas pudding-flavoured roast just might – I haven't gone a morning without a cup since I first tried it."

–Amy Glover

Price: £9.95.

8. Absolut Vodka are leading an incredible campaign to raise the voices of inspiring changemakers, pioneers and creatives across the UK.

Absolut Vodka

The Absolut Choir (led by Years & Years' Olly Alexander) are fighting to put a spotlight on and drive conversation around the incredible causes they stand for: better body representation in fashion and the media, policy change for trans rights, an end to marginalisation of disabled people, and queer joy. Together, they'll perform a never-heard-before new arrangement of Shine, which has been remixed by Years & Years’ musical director’s, Kaizen Collective. The chart-topping hit single has been reimagined into a new, powerful, and progressive version, featuring multiple harmonies and new vocal arrangements, exclusively for the campaign.

The choir will come together to perform for the first time ever in London on Tuesday 22nd November – and you can apply for a chance to win a set of VIP tickets (and learn more about the project) right here!

9. Function of Beauty's custom hair care range has just launched in the UK, and I am *obsessed* with the concept!

Cult Beauty

"This is probably the most tailored haircare available to the masses RN, and the process is super simple too! You choose a shampoo and conditioner based on your hair type, then select up to three booster shots to meet your unique hair goals (think: strengthening, scalp-soothing, and volumising kinda effects). Pour one booster shot from each box into your shampoo and the other into your conditioner, shake and you're good to go!"

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £12.00 for the shampoos and conditioners and £4.00 for the booster shots (which come in packs of two).

10. I got my hair cut at GA salons and it was probably the best salon experience I've ever had.

Valeza Bakolli / Via BuzzFeed, GA Salons

"Not only are their salons absolutely gorgeous, but they're genuinely masters in the art of hair. Their philosophy is based around a deeper understanding of natural, curative products. They specialise in bespoke hair treatments using GA's 20 signature blends, made using nothing but 100% natural and organic herbs, roots, and flowers. I had a haircut and blow dry done and I honestly don't think my hair has ever looked better! My stylist Emanuele gave me a sweeping curtain fringe and natural layers, making my hair feel healthy, fresh, and on-trend *without* cutting too much of the length (the dream, TBH)."

–Valeza Bakolli

You can book a hair cut or treatment at one of their London-based salons right here. I had mine done in Chelsea, but they're also based in Notting Hill, Wimbledon, South Kensington, and Westbourne Grove!

11. Join Lady Petrol's wine club for a taste of Idris Elba's new champagne, Porte Noire, in the Stratford hotel on the 10th November (yes, please).

Designmynight

"The night combines champagne with a vinyl DJ and Exmoor caviar (if you don't mind) – considering tickets start at £20, I reckon that's pretty incredible value. Oh, and if a caviar bump is on your bucket list, this is the night to tick it off!" 

Price: tickets from £20 – it's on at the Lounge in The Stratford from 19:00-23:00.

12. Pret's new Christmas menu is no joke, people.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"Pret always knock it out the park with their festive range, but this year the offerings taste exceptionally good: think buttery, oh-so-moreish mince pies, decadent gingerbread lattes, hog roast mac and cheese, and of course their classic Christmas sandwich (whose perfection they understand should remain untouched). Standouts for me included the chock-full Boxing Day toastie, the pigs in blankets roll, and literally every veggie option – I'll be ordering their beet wellington sandwich and mushroom mac and cheese at least once a week, thanks very much. In fact, there are so many gorgeous new additions that I can only really live with myself if I recommend multiple trips once their festive line launches (I'd say I'm sorry if I'm feeding your existing Pret addiction, but I'd be lying)."

Check out their new Christmas range here – it launches in stores on 2nd November.

13. Signature Brew's collab with Dogfish Head has resulted in the most stunning pear tea pilsner imaginable (in fact, it's hard to think of another duo who could imagine it).

Signature Brew / Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"I headed to Signature Brew's Walthamstow location for their collaborative tasting menu with Dogfish Head, and I'm incredibly glad I did – firstly, because I got to try the unspeakably delicious SeaQuench Dogfish Head beer (bring it to the UK, please?), and secondly because I now have a new favourite pilsner that is available locally. Pear tea and pear juice is added to their Piercing Pils after the rest of the ingredients are boiled, so their fruity, refreshing flavours really get a chance to sing. It contains gently acidic Amarillo hops too for that sip-and-sigh-worthy crispness – you'll be drowning in brownie points for turning your friends onto this stuff, so make sure you snap up enough cans to bag the unspoken 'best sesh contribution' award. With that said, if you live close enough to The Collab to head in and grab a pint alongside some perfect fried chicken fresh from the basket, please do: it's rare to find a place that puts as much care into their beers as they do their burgers, so it's no wonder their best-of-both-worlds spot has won so many awards for both."

–Amy Glover

You can grab the pilsner here and book a spot at The Collab here.

14. Looking to buy a gift for the person who has everything? Loop's ridiculously soft cashmere gloves will fill a wintery void they didn't know they had (and it doesn't hurt that they're as practical as they are pretty).

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"Now that we're officially in gloves season, I thought I'd gift my friend this long-lasting pair rather than watching them cycle through endless cheaper mitts. Enter: these cashmere (yes, cashmere) options, which rendered my pal incapable of saying anything other than 'They're so soft'' for ten minutes straight after first trying them on. They're so gentle on the skin that you'll barely notice them even after hours of use, they keep heat in like nobody's business, and they'll last for years too – I'm looking at a pair for all my 'I swear I don't want anything for Christmas' relatives TBH (watch out, grandad)."

–Amy Glover

Price: £69.00.

15. Champion have released all-new clothes for autumn (I've got my eye on that cowprint hoodie).

"Sweater season is the perfect time to check out some cute and cosy loungewear, so it's a good thing Champion have risen to the challenge: their new line includes ridiculously soft co-ords, the comfiest sports bra I've ever seen, and of course some cow print-esque tie-dye sets that I needed to order yesterday."

–Amy Glover

Check out women's new drops here and men's here.

16. Desenio have just released a new collection of prints starring Sofia Richie, and the effects are just as stunning as you’d imagine!

Desenio

"The luxe-looking collection titled ‘Studio Hollywood’ features photographs of timeless fashion, architecture, and poolside views. The minimalistic style of the prints will suit basically any kind of decor, so if you’re in the market for some stylish new additions to your collection of wall art, look no further!"

–Valeza Bakolli

Check out the collection here (the prints are priced at £15.95).

17. Once you try Crosstown's doughnuts, you'll never be able to eat them from any other brand.

Amy Glover /  BuzzFeed

"When I first heard my coworkers rave about these doughnuts, I'll admit I was skeptical (I've been wary of dessert hype ever since people went nuts for those sickly, 60% buttercream cupcakes in 2010). I've never been so decidedly and deliciously proved wrong, though –  Crosstown's scratch bakeries, where everything from the fillings to the dough is made on-site, can more than walk the walk. The extra effort pays off; expect oh-so-tender, not-too-greasy-or-too-dry dough and perfectly-balanced flavours. Their new options include a drool-worthy black forest cake doughnut and a seasonal ginger and pear treat (if you only try one limited-edition flavour, make it their chestnut and brown butter). People, I am addicted."

Flavours pictured are black forest and pear and ginger (the pack contained chestnut and brown butter doughnuts too, but I ate both of those before I remembered to take a pic. Sorry.)

–Amy Glover

Price: from £25.95 for six doughnuts.

18. Your morning cuppa just isn't complete without this EKG Stagg Pro kettle.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"I've become obsessed with James Hoffman videos recently, and he inspired me to check out this temperature-controlled, thin-spouted kettle. It delivers the perfect temp for your coffee (you can keep the temperature at the same level for up to an hour), and its sleek LCD screen shows me how hot the water inside is too. Doesn't hurt that it looks so sleek either, right?"

–Amy Glover

Price: £132.50.

19. Leaders of regenerative beauty, Ethique have just released a new limited-edition solid shampoo bar!

Ethique

"Launched to celebrate their tenth birthday (and saving over 25 million single-use plastic bottles from being produced in that time), the new bar is made with nourishing mango butter and peach oil, and rice powder which adds volume and shine. The gorgeous passionfruit scent is perfect for energising you in the morning, and like all Ethique products, Sorbet is plastic-free, waterless, home-compostable, palm oil free, vegan, cruelty-free, and made with sustainably sourced and directly traded ingredients – NBD."

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £12

20. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than with Bakesterbox's very handy pre-measured baking kit, which is a dream for seasoned kitchen pros and baking newbies alike.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"I've always thought that pre-measured recipe boxes make the most sense for baking, because while I don't always trust strangers to tell me how much garlic I want in my dinner (usually twice as much as they include in the pack), you do need to be precise and uniform when it comes to doughs and batters. This adorable box is perfect for people who don't want to buy an entire bag of patisserie flour for the sake of one fun weekend bake, and mine even included the tools your kitchen might not have already, like ramekins and a pastry brush. Its easy-to-follow, picture-aided recipe helped me to make the most impressive and delicious cakes I've knocked up for a while! Check out their other gorgeous recipes for further inspo, like the butterscotch, rye, and nut tart or the cinnamon buns whose descriptions alone have my eyes rolling back in my head. In short, your winter weekends in just aren't complete without a Bakesterbox."

–Amy Glover

Price: £16.95 for the dry ingredients of a chocolate fondant set.

Psst – you can also order a three-month baking box subscription for £59.00 – I'm struggling to think of a better foodie gift. 

21. Remington’s genius PROluxe You range features innovative Style Adapt™ technology which literally learns about your hair to make sure the tools give you the most effective (and least damaging) results over time.

Boots

"The range is available to purchase through loads of retailers including Boots and Amazon and includes hair straighteners, a hairdryer, a curling wand, a hot brush, and a fab new Air Styler – all of which will learn and adapt to your hair type. So whether you’re after a sleek and straight ‘do or bouncy curls, they’ll provide the optimum temperature for getting your perfect look every time!"

–Valeza Bakolli

Prices start at £59.99 – find the whole range here!

22. Fizzy drink fans rejoice – Sodastream have just launched their long-awaited new flavour: Pepsi max cherry!

Sodastream

"If you’re a fan of the nostalgic flavour, then you’ll be thrilled to hear you can now make the drink in your very own home! Simply sparkle your water with your Sodastream machine, add a dash of the concentrated syrup, and enjoy."

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £5.49

23. If you're obsessed with Halloween you'll love GoBoat's new spooky canal experience!

GoBoat

"If you've done just about every ghost tour there is, you're gonna love this unique experience! GoBoat have partnered with a paranormal expert to locate the spookiest spots along London's rivers and canals. Take the list of haunted places along with you to see what (or who) you encounter on your tour."

–Valeza Bakolli

Book your boat tour right here!

24. The Joy for All Walker Squawker is hands-down the most wholesome gift imaginable.

Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

It's essentially a lil' companion that's designed to create a more positive relationship between older adults and their walking support. The artfully-crafted animatronic bird will sing and play songs as the walking frame moves, plus it's designed to fit easily onto most walking frame designs, making it the perfect gift for older loved ones!

Price: £64 for the bluebird.

25. TOPSHOP have just launched a 'new chapter' for AW22 which focuses on their most-loved styles for a timeless feel.

ASOS

"They've honed in on their most popular categories – including high-quality tailoring, statement dresses, cosy-yet-chic coats, and everyone's favourite Jamie jeans – to create a classic collection full of pieces you'll wear for years to come!"

–Valeza Bakolli

Check out the collection right here.

26. Mayfair's first Armenian restaurant Lusin is set to open October 31st, so you might want to place your bookings now.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"Aside from being just about the most stunning restaurant I've stepped into (the walls are made from Armenian stone with some gorgeous hand-carved decorations at the entrance), Lusin is probably the best introduction to Armenian food I could have had. I'd expected to feel intimidated by their luxe brass door and two Michelin star chef-made menu, but the staff made it all approachable – standouts included their signature kebab with cherry sauce, some gorgeous sujuc rolls, the best yogurt I've ever tried, perfect cubed potatoes, and a drool-worthy honey cake. Oh, and if you're looking to try a wine that'll make you understand why people love vino so much, Lusin's got your back: their immaculate chablis converted my friend in a couple of sips (take it from someone who never thought they'd write the words 'immaculate chablis in their life). Basically, if you're on the hunt for an unforgettable 'treat yourself' spot, head to Lusin ASAP."

–Amy Glover

Check out their Mayfair IG here.

27. Sipsmith's new Very Berry gin is the perfect wintery treat!

Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

"Into your fruity flavours? Then this limited edition selection is the festive choice for you! It'll taste great in a classic G&T or a sweet negroni."

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £28.50

28. And if you're trying to cut down on your alcohol intake, their new FreeGlider is a beautiful non-alcoholic alternative to your favourite tipple!

Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

"If you're trying to cut down on your alcohol intake in the buildup to the festive season, this is worth a try! Like all Sipsmith gins, the juniper plays a lead role in this alcohol-free spirit. The flavour is balanced with citrus and spices so you'll still get the warmth of regular gin."

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £20

29. Mermade's new blow dry brush with interchangeable heads is probably the only hair tool you'll ever need to use.

Mermade

"You'll have three super handy volumising tools in one with this genius device! You can dry, smooth, and style your hair in one go, and the different heads are perfect for different hair types or the styles you want to achieve."

–Valeza Bakolli

Price: £99

30. Subscription bike company Swapfiets are holding a pretty cool event on 9th November to help encourage people to get on their bikes during the colder months!

Swapfiets

Did you know the number of people cycling to work has doubled since pre-pandemic levels? Swapfiets are celebrating with the aptly-named 'Tour de Dance' bike rave. The event will be hosted by Fat Boy Slim's son, rising DJ sensation Woody Cook who will play a set on two wheels, leading Londoners on a party around the city to see It in a new, festive light! You can BYOB (bring your own bike) or there will be a limited number of bikes to rent from the shop on a first-come-first serve basis.

Meet at the Swapfiets Shoreditch store at 6.30pm on Wednesday 9th November to join for free!

31. I won't have to buy any Christmas food bar the dinner come December thanks to Hampers.com's everything-but-the-kitchen-sink family hamper.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"If I don't think the word 'brimming' the second I look at a hamper, I don't want it – luckily, this stuffed-to-the-corners willow wicker option more than fits the bill. It contains everything from speculoos-flavoured popcorn (yes, really) to decadent shortbread, a rich and fruity port, a not-too-sweet-or-too-dry Prosecco, and tonnes of chocolate, cheese, crackers, puddings, cakes, and more. I really do mean it when I say that it's basically a full Christmas shop in a box – my flatmates and I won't be buying anything for our festive feast bar a roast after nabbing this packed hamper. You can add a personalised message for free, and the contents last for absolutely ages too!"

–Amy Glover

Price: £125.00.

32. Speaking of Christmas food treats, this oh-so-luxe option from Cartwright & Butler is a surefire people pleaser.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"I've been living in the UK for three years now, but it was only when I saw this decadent hamper that I truly understood that phrase 'that's a bit of me'. People, the shortbread. The fancy tins for everything from loose-leaf tea to rum and raisin fudge. The endlessly reusable buckle-sealed hamper. It's all so premium, and most importantly, there's loads of it: 'it', of course, being the best crackers, mince pies, cakes, biscuits, and prosecco I've ever tasted. Whether you want to give a gift that'll make the foodies in your life indebted to you forever or just give yourself the lowest-hassle, highest-quality Christmas shop possible, I can't recommend this Cartwright & Butler one enough."

–Amy Glover

Price: £138.00.

33. And if your tastes run more savoury, can I suggest this beginner-friendly cheese-making kit? Yeah, I thought I could.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"It contains everything I needed (except milk) to create all kinds of cheese, from ricotta to halloumi, mozzarella, and feta, which was pretty impressive considering I'ma complete newbie. You'll get some serious bang for your buck, too – I'm ten cheeses deep already, and thanks to its handy recipe book and versatile ingredients, I should have enough left to make up to 30 more. That's everyone's 'sounds impressive but cost me £2 and took an hour' Christmas gifts sorted, then."

–Amy Glover

Price: £34.95.

34. PSA: Wagamama has new menu items (hello, salmon gyoza and gyoza ramen).

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"It's probably ignorance on my part but being very honest, I wasn't sure if gyoza ramen would work (what about the crispy bottoms?!). Of course, I found myself loving my bowl – they keep the seared part out of the soup, and the broth gathers brilliantly in the softer, scooped edge of the dumplings. Consider me a convert." 

–Amy Glover

Price: £13.50 in my local Wagamama.

35. Peach and apricot-flavoured Fuzz Box pale ale? Don't mind if I do, thanks.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"Stunning and seasonal label aside, Beavertown's new fruity pale ale is my winter go-to – it's not too sweet or too bitter, and I love how crisp and refreshing it is. If it's good enough for my snobbiest, most 'cask ale only, please' pals (which, judging by the amount of cans they went through, it was), then it's more than good enough for me." 

–Amy Glover

Price: £2.35 a can.

36. Speaking of exciting drinks, I'm obsessed with Coca-Cola's new limited-edition 'fantasy' flavour – Dreamworld.

Coca Cola

"The exact taste profile of the new flavour has been kept under wraps, encouraging people to make up their own minds on what they think it tastes like, discover the magic in ordinary moments, and 'dream with their eyes wide open' (I personally think it has a sweet, almost candy floss-esque flavour!)."

–Valeza Bakolli

It's available to purchase for a limited time only in participating stores nationwide at 77p per can – find out more right here!

37. Come to Polaroid's all-new speakers for their looks, stay for their incredible sound quality.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"I'm not ashamed to admit that I very much judge books for their cover – if I'm going to carry my speaker around or just leave it out in my room, it's important that it looks pretty. This Polaroid one obviously delivers looks in spades, but I've been wowed by how crystal-clear the sound quality is as well – it packs a powerful punch for its portable size (psst: it's got a handy travel strap), and I love that it comes with old-school dials as well."

–Amy Glover

Price: £119.99 – it's available in five colours.

38. Three words: William Morris crackers.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"Over the last couple of years, I've been a bit stressed every time I go to buy some Christmas crackers – sure, they're the best part of the dinner, but they're also really wasteful (think useless plastic toys that nobody wants and unrecyclable packaging). Thankfully, Morris & Co.'s plastic-free ones have taken some of my guilt away: everything from the crackers themselves to the contents inside are recyclable, though considering how high-quality the gifts (that include a mini bowling ball and pins) are, I reckon you'll just want to keep them. Also, how pretty are these?!"

–Amy Glover

Price: £16.00 for six.

39. Luxury resale store Sign of the Times have just received this incredible pre-owned Louis Vuitton golf bag which you'll literally save thousands on!

Sign of the Times

This stunning bag retails at £16,000 brand new, so you'll be saving over £10k(!) on this pre-loved version. It features the iconic canvas monogram body and loads of practical features like internal compartments and a detachable rain cover!

Price: £5,800

40. I'm not drooling over Bad Brownies' ooey gooey sticky toffee brownie, you are.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"I think it's important to be snobby about some things, and dessert is one of them. I really don't like most shop-bought cake (as in, I once wrote an article about how much I hate supermarket sponges), so I was intrigued when I saw Bad Brownie's heat-at-home offerings. They looked much more moist, balanced, and decadent than I'm used to getting from anywhere other than my own oven, and having tried their can't-put-it-down sticky toffee brownie, it looks like I was right. I just had to pop it in the over for 15 mins for that perfect, rich-but-not-cloying goodness. 11/10."

–Amy Glover

Price: £18.00 – it feeds 6 to eight people.

41. I've been an Elephant Gin convert since I tried their sloe gin last year, so you'd better believe I got my hands on their oak-aged negroni as soon as I could.

Elephant Gin

"Heartbreak can take many forms, so here's an admission: although it's been almost a year, I still sometimes gaze out of my window and pine for the (perfect! fated!) bottle of Elephant Gin sloe gin that I left at a doomed Tinder match's flat. After all, the brand made my list of great Christmas food and drink last year, and if their oak-aged negroni is anything to go by it looks like it'll do it again. I love its aromatic, smoky taste, I love how the company works to conserve elephants, and I love its gorgeous handwritten label – sure, not every match is made to last, but I think me and this stunning negroni are forever."

–Amy Glover

Price: £35.90 for 70cl.

42. ASDA are launching an all-new bread range which we were lucky enough to try at their Baker's Dozen popup.

Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

"The bread-based tasting menu (even typing that makes me drool) centred all-new drops for their bakery, alongside some of the supermarket's own produce and wine. My faves included their spelt and rye sourdough boule, their oh-so-moreish cheese baguette, their drool-worthy fruit loaf, and their brown hoagie. And if, like me, you don't know your merlots from your malbecs, I found some new fave wines so you don't have to – I loved their Roversi Pecorino Terre di Chieti and the Cotes de Gascogne, and their port is the best I've tried."

–Amy Glover

43. Finally, there's an event in London where you can be part of a human claw machine. Interested? Same.

Proper

"If you're wondering what to do of a weekend, head on down to Elys Yard in Brick Lane on the 28th or 29th of October for a chance to be strapped in and dunked into a giant pit of PROPER snacks. There's also a chance to win prizes from ByRotation, NICCE, and SONOS if you pick up one of the limited-edition gold packs!"

–Valeza Bakolli

Check it out on 28th and 29th October from 11.00-20.00 at Elys Yard in Brick Lane, London.
