Autumn is a time of year for celebrating, with occasions like Bonfire Night and Halloween, as well as an early chance to start your Christmas shopping. Emery Gate has some great options for finding thoughtful presents.

  • The Fragrance Shop is ideal for finding a new scent for yourself or a loved one. A warm, woody fragrance can be the perfect way to embrace the autumn atmosphere.

Wellness and Home Refresh

As the seasons change and the days get shorter, it's a great time to give your health a little extra support and your home a much-needed refresh.

Five A/W Health Essentials from Holland & Barrett

As the seasons change, it's a great time to give your health and immune system a little extra support. Holland & Barrett has plenty of options to help you feel your best this autumn and winter.

Here are five items that are perfect for the colder months:

  • Vitamin D Supplements: With less sunlight, many people become deficient in Vitamin D. A supplement is crucial for supporting your immune system, bone health, and mood during the darker months.

  • Immune-Supporting Capsules: Look for capsules that combine key ingredients like Vitamin C, Zinc, and Elderberry. These are known to help support your body's natural defences and can be a great way to stay well.

  • Manuka Honey: This isn't just for your toast. Manuka honey has unique antibacterial properties and can be a soothing addition to a warm drink if you're feeling under the weather.

  • Echinacea Drops or Tablets: Often used at the first sign of a cold, Echinacea is a popular herbal remedy believed to help support the immune system. It's a great one to have in your cabinet for the colder season.

  • Probiotics: Your gut health is key to your overall health and immune function. Taking a daily probiotic can help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in your gut, which is vital all year round but especially important during A/W.

As we spend more time indoors, autumn is the perfect time for a deep clean. You don't need to break the bank to get your home feeling fresh and tidy. Poundland at Emery Gate is a treasure trove of affordable cleaning essentials.

  • Cupboard Clear-out: Grab some storage baskets and multi-purpose cleaner. It's the ideal time to clear out and wipe down kitchen cupboards and bathroom cabinets, getting rid of any old, unused items.

  • Freshen Up Fabrics: Pick up some fabric fresheners or carpet deodorisers to give your living spaces a renewed scent. You can also find cloths and sponges to tackle marks on furniture.
