Brands Stuff That Makes Life 5% Easier Right Now
Share
Feeling overwhelmed by… literally everything? We see you 👀
This time of year can be a lot – end-of-year pressure, family logistics, life admin, and now Black Friday shouting at you from every corner of the internet.
So let’s just say this upfront:
If you’re “Christmas shopping” and somehow 3 things for you end up in the basket… you are absolutely not alone.
More than half of people buy for themselves around Black Friday. It’s basically a sport at this point.
With that in mind, we wanted to share a few brands we genuinely love, things we actually use, that can make life feel even a tiny bit easier right now. Whether you’re buying for someone else, for you, or “for the household” (aka also you), here’s what we’re into:
For when your brain won’t switch off
Made By Coopers – 40% off sitewide
We love all their products, but the sleep sprays are our ride-or-dies. If you’re lying in bed replaying emails from three days ago, a little bedtime ritual with a calming spray can feel like permission to wind down instead of doom-scroll.
For when your shoulders are screaming
Urban – at-home massage (20% off first booking)
If your shoulders live somewhere up by your ears now, same. Urban lets you book an at-home massage so you don’t have to drag yourself anywhere.
Use code CLEMENTINE for 20% off your first booking (until 31/12/25). A very valid “to me, from me” situation. (Not valid on Express massage or drips)
For when your skin is as tired as you feel
Sweet Bee Organics – glow moisturiser
They sent us a few bits to try and now we’re hooked. The glow moisturiser is a dream for tired, dull skin. It’s that “ok, I look slightly more alive now” product – which, honestly, is sometimes all we’re asking for.
For when cooking from scratch is a hard no
HomeCooks – chef-made Bento Boxes (£25 off)
If the idea of meal planning makes you want to lie on the floor, this is for you.
Chef-made Bento Boxes that are balanced, high in protein, and ready to heat. Zero planning, zero faff, actual food.
Get £25 off your first order with code BLACKFRIDAYCLEMENTINE.
For when you want an “inside-out glow” moment
FFS Black Friday Winter Face Bundle
This bundle is such good value. We’re big on the idea of inside-out glow, and this kit is a great excuse to actually slow down and tend to your skin properly, not as a “perfect routine”, just as a small “I’m going to look after myself for 10 minutes” moment.
For when you need a cosy little ritual
At Clementine HQ, this is the tea we sip on repeat all winter. It’s warming, soothing, and a really easy way to build a tiny daily ritual in – for you, or as a gift for someone else who is running on fumes.
We know it’s a hard time of year. You’re not imagining it, and you’re not failing at “coping” – it’s just a lot.
If a Black Friday deal helps you make life 5% easier, or gives you something small to look forward to at the end of the day, that’s allowed. Whether it’s for you, for someone you love, or “technically a household purchase”… it still counts as looking after yourself.
