Holiday and Summer Essentials

19 July 2015 by Eileen

If you are jetting off for an overseas holiday or even within the UK this summer, now is the best time to stock up on holiday and summer essentials. Don’t wait until too late when you can’t get your favourite products as they do go out of stock.

Online shopping is often easier than traipse down the high street and Chemist Direct provides over 20,000 health, pharmacy, beauty and prescription products online. Their range of products includes medicines, pharmacy, pets, vitamin supplement and many others. Shopping online is always available 24/7 which is very convenient for busy families. Their website is easy to navigate and all categories are clearly shown. They also offer free postage if you spend more than £40 which is very reasonable and a great deal.

This is my second time ordering from them and I have been very impressed with their service. On both occasions, I ordered the products early in the morning and I received an email the same day to say that they had dispatched the parcel. I received my parcel two days later which was delivered by My Hermes. The parcel was well packed with bubble wrap in a small box and all items arrived intact.

What have I bought for our holiday and summer essentials?

I know that sun cream is very important but I didn’t get that as I already stocked up a few bottles at home. For sun protection, I bought Nivea’s sun protect lip gloss – in summer time, you get quite hot and your lips need as much protection as your skin. I also bought the Femfresh feminine care kit as it is necessary to keep the area nice and fresh. The last thing you need is to get an infection!

As for my children, they are prone to insect bites and with the rough and tumble, grazes are inevitable too. So I bought the bite and sting cream as well as some antiseptic wipes too. A big multi packets of tissues to wipe away all the sweat and dirt away. As children love to play in the garden, keeping the hands clean is very important. So I bought a few bottles of hand wash for one pound each!

Additionally, I bought shower cream and diarrhoea pills too as they are very useful as back up for camping! You don’t want to be caught out with no where to go!

Lastly, I did add a somewhat random product to my shopping basket which was a blood pressure machine! It only costs £15 and it is so easy to use and very handy if you have elderly at home.

I enjoyed this online shopping experience. It was a very smooth process and I was kept informed about my parcel. They regularly have sales or discounts too. I would recommend them to anyone.

    That Blood Pressure monitor is really good value I think- my partner’s parents live in the middle of nowhere and just paid £40 for one – they could have just ordered it from Chemist Direct and saved £25 and a long drive!
