After barely making it through 2020 it’s safe to say few of us imagined large parts of the nation would be sporadically plunged into even tighter lockdowns again come 2021.

It was meant to be a new year, a new start or at the very least, an improvement on the last.
Vaccines were meant to be rolling out and into arms, and instead we’ve been hit with the most contagious strain of the COVID virus yet, the Delta variant.
While we could easily sit here and complain all day – believe us, we could – we’re putting our time to better use by rounding up all the things that are helping us to get through this latest, deadly wave and being trapped in doors for 90 per cent of our days.
Scroll on through to shop the items that are sure to help soothe your distress and pass the time.
Oodies
Let’s face it, unless we’re required on an early morning video call we’re lucky to get out of our PJs before lunch. That was until we discovered these toasty warm delights.
Part hoodie, part blanket, it’s like working from home while being given a warm comforting, and much needed, hug.
Sex Toys
If there was ever a reason to update your vibrator, its lockdown. Whether you’re single and can’t go out, separated from significant other or you just have some extra time to kill, there’s never been a better time to focus on, ahem, you.
Lovehoney has a HUGE range of toys to cater for every need. And if you’re looking for recommendation Abbie Chatfield’s previously sold out Vush vibrator is finally back in stock and selling fast.
Fortnite
If you’re about to scroll on past thinking you’re not into gaming, then hold on for a hot second and hear us out because Fortnite is more than just a game.
Sure, it’s known for its epic Battle Royale (give it a go, you’ll be hooked by your third round) but it’s also expanding into an entertainment platform.
Hosting everything from concerts to film festivals such as Travis Scott’s Astronomical and Short Nite film festival, it’s just announced its FREE in-game Rift Tour with Ariana Grande.
LED light mask
With little to no need for makeup, other than the odd video call, there’s no better time to focus on our skincare. Facemasks seem like the obvious go-to but three are facemasks and then there are LED light masks.
The medical grade mask from Peppy Co harnesses three therapeutic lights – blue for bacteria, red for wrinkles and yellow for detoxifying – for a clearer complexion in just 10 minutes a day.
The Iconic currently has 25% off the range here.
Body masks
While we often focus solely on our faces, our skincare needs extend well beyond. Body Blendz have developed several specific masks for various areas of concern across the body. As we binge our way through the latest season of Outer Banks we’ll be laying on the sofa with Booty Clay Mask and Booby Mask.
Nourishing and firming, the Booby Mask is made especially for your pair. The purest Australian White Clay gently removes dead skin as it increases firmness and improves the texture of the skin.
Meanwhile the Booty Mask contains a fat-reducing formulation of artichoke extract, levan and caffeine to slim and lift the booty at the same time.
Cocktail Kit
You may not be able to go out to a bar, but you can always bring the bar to you.
Take your Friday night drinks on the couch to a new level with a proper cocktail shaker and bottle of your chosen poison. We’ll be perfecting our margarita recipe with newly launched Cazcabel Tequila.
Diffuser
Stressed out? Who isn’t.
From oils that will help with your now frantic sleeping pattern to those with stress relieving properties, a diffuser is not only going to make your space smell divine it’s going to help lift your mood.
