Harvey Water Softeners is offering the opportunity for one lucky BeautyQueenUK reader to receive £100 worth of John Lewis vouchers** to spend online or in-store.

Harvey Water Softeners is a family-run business based in Surrey that manufactures and installs the UK’s best water softeners. Founded by Harvey Bowden in 1978, the company’s patented twin-cylinder water softeners remove the minerals from hard water that cause limescale and scum to build up inside kettles, washing machines and other appliances inside the home.

The beauty benefits of soft water include reduced risk of skin disorders such as eczema and reducing hair frizz whilst making it more shiny. Home and financial benefits include less need to clean sinks and shower screens, more bubbly, soapy baths and showers and extending the life of household appliances and boilers whilst making them more cost efficient.

Stocking fillers for the gadget lover

Do you have a gadget-lover in your life? Christmas is fast approaching and technophiles can be tough to buy for, so what will you be filling their stockings with this year? Here are a few ideas to help you out.

Electronic cigarette 
It’s winter, so no one wants to watch his or her friend freeze outside. Why not give them this smoke and tobacco-free stocking filler? The e-cigarette eliminates the need to carry a lighter, it ensures you remain a social being and they also come in some tasty flavours, including blueberry, strawberry, menthol and of course classic tobacco. For more information, check out these British e-cig retailers Vapouriz SmokShop and Mist E Liquid.

Heated car mug
There’s nothing better when driving to work on a cold winters morning than a nice hot cup of tea. Unfortunately, for most of us, we get caught up in long lines of traffic. To avoid taking a swig of cold tea, why not invest in a plug-in heated car mug? Plugging straight into your cigarette lighting port in your car, this gadget is a guaranteed pleaser for those tea-loving drivers.

Key finder
Losing the keys; we’ve all done it, whether it is your car keys, house keys or any key – it’s frustrating, and turning your house upside down is time-consuming. With some key finders using a radio frequency that can detect items up to 30 metres away, this is a must-have gadget.


Heatable scarf
Venturing out on your lunch break will never be the same again! A battery operated heatable scarf is a gift that keeps on giving. Some heatable scarves are able to heat to 40 degrees centigrade and are equipped with built-in pockets.

Portable phone charger
This is a must-have gift for anyone with a smartphone or a tablet device. Not only for emergency reasons but for sanity reasons also! No one wants to see their battery percentage hit 10% half way through a day out, with smartphones and tablets alike eating your battery like there’s no tomorrow, this gadget would be a gift gratefully received.
