‘Anyone with grip issues, due to age or injury, will benefit from a jar key. It’s a super cheap plastic tool for releasing the vacuum on jars so that you can turn the lid easily. I’ve had hand surgery so have a useless grip, but can easily open jars with a jar key.’

‘Hot water bottle. Fill it from the kettle like normal in winter, pop it in the freezer during summer. £10 can either get you two plain ones or one shaped like a unicorn. I’ve lived alone for six years and only embraced the hot water bottle life at 24, I don’t know what held me back.’
