Edited to add:
Clear plastic storage boxes/organizers
For cooking: non-stick pans, MSG
I'll push back on the nonstick pans. Steel pans get you much better sears, are easier to take care of, and last way longer than non-sticks. Even expensive non-sticks will require you to use spatulas made of a soft material and will only last a couple months to a handful of years before the teflon flakes off.
Personally I would save up a bit and get a 9inch, a 12-14inch (depending on hob sizes), and a bigger sauce pan. Would definitely run more expensive than 100 quid but will last much longer.
Ceramic instead of Teflon is where it's at.
I have a fabric shaver I got for Xmas like 6 years ago and haven’t found anything to do with it. Maybe it’s due to just wearing like jeans/cargos/tshirts? Is it supposed to be used for that? I feel like you need to wear something nicer to take advantage of it.
We used ours to clear pilling from our couches and other furniture.
I have a few sweaters, cardigans, and sweatpants that I use them on. Nothing super fancy, but using the fabric shaver helps me look more put together when I wear them, even though I’d rather not have a need for the shaver in the first place :)
