OXX Essentials Heat-Up Wheat Bag Monster (26H x 19W cms)

This monster heat pad is very cute. I love the plushy  super soft polyester sleeve design. The heating pad contains 100% Australian wheat, even though, to touch, feels more like some sort of mini balls. I had other wheat pads in the past and they emit a slight wheat odor, but this one is odourless.  I heat it up in the microwave 30 seconds and then, supervised, if needed, I go up to 10, 20, or 30 seconds more. My microwave isn't that powerful, so I haven't any problem. The instructions also recommend no to reheat till the pad is totally cold, but I rarely do so; so far so good. The cover has a hanging loop, but why would you want to hand this pad instead of put it close to your body?

LÄMPLIG Bamboo Chopping Board (53L x 46H x 1.8Th cm)

This is an amazing-quality large economic bamboo  chopping board that covers half of my office desk place.  That  big is! It's also heavy. I use it on my kitchen counter to chop up food. It could be used as a cheese and cold meat board in large gatherings, but I find it too heavy for my dining table, and also looks like chopping board not a food board! The board has a raised top that prevents food from spilling out. It also has a milled grove all around the surface to prevent food juices from spilling on to the worktop, but I find it annoying as crumbs get stuck there. The good thing is that I can easily turn it upside down and use the back, which has no grove and use the raised edge to nook onto my table's edge.
 
Care Instructions = Follow these instructions before the first use. Wipe clean with a mild soapy solution.  Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Should be treated with food approved oil now and then. Handwash only.

DVÄRGSLINKE Decorative Horse (13Hx12L cm)

I'm a sucker for black and white anything that have clean design lines that look expensive but are affordable and good quality. This fits the brief! Ain't specially into horse decor, but this an exception, but his Dala Horse is an exemption. This is a gorgeous item of decoration that fits well in spaces with minimalist decor and neutral palette as well as home offices. I really love it. 
 
Designer = IKEA of Sweden. 
Materials = Solid pine, Tinted clear polyurethane lacquer.

TRATTKAKTUS Cushion cover (50x50 cm)

This is an statement cushion cover that fits most Ikea cushion pads. The motifs are based on Sweden's folk imagery and palette. It's printed in vibrant neat colours and looks as good as in the photos. The Trattkaktus lifts up any space decorated in neutral colours, like my office. It 's a gorgeous accent. It's made of 100% cotton and the fabric has a nice canvas-like texture. I haven't washed it yet, so I cannot comment on that.   

Designer = Eva Lundgree.

Care =  Machine wash, max 40°C, normal setting. Don't bleach, tumble dry or dry clean. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Iron max 150°C.

FÖRSÄSONG Cable Management Tray, white, (38W x 17H 11D cm)

This is a small mesh tray, made of good quality materials and solid placement pins, that you put on the side of your desk to organise your computer cables, adaptors and plugs. The tray comes with two Velcro fasteners for extra support. Although this is the tray's main use, you can use it to put some small plants or decorative elements or, I do as a stationary open drawer. I was using it o put my pens and pencils directly on it,  but they would often get out through and fall on the floor through the openings at both sides of the tray. This is because I had put many items inside; if just a four or so pens, there is no problem. At the moment, I use it to hold two small pouches with those pencils and pens.  This tray is economic, easy to install and remove, and the securing pins don't loosen.

Designers =  J. Jelinek & A. Fredriksson.

LParkin Woodland Animals Fox Canvas Pencil Case (8L x 3.5 H in)

This is a gorgeous light pouch that looks small but can hold lots of pens, pencils, markers,  erasers and sharpeners. It's advertised to hold up to 80 pencils. The illustration quality matches that of the photo. The pouch is said to be made of canvas, but I think it's just thick acrylic canvas-like fabric. The inner lining is clearly plastic, something I love as some pens, markers and pencils can stain or spill a bit of product. This pouch is also great as a makeup holder.

Scholl Dry Skin Foot Care PediMask (1 Pair)

Like many other feet Scholl products, this mask is great. My feet are always dry or very dry, especially after Winter. Using this foot mask makes a huge difference. The results are as good as the ones I got at a beauty salon feet treatment. The effects are noticeable immediately and for several days, but I tend to use this mask (alternating this with others foot masks) for several weeks so that my feet get back to normal. The mask contains glycerin, urea, shea butter and macadamia oil.
 
The product is really easy to use. Cut the plastic boots top and put your feet inside as if they were socks. Fast the Velcro and let your feet soak.  The recommended treatment time is 20 minutes. However, I keep the boots on for 30-35 minutes as I haven't had any allergy reaction to the product. 

The boots are  quite large so they can fit small feet like mine to a large size. The product doesn't specify what's the maximum size, though. They're disposable, one-use plastic and that's my main criticism.
