50 • Home shopping & entertainment Special delivery
A trip to the shops is currently restricted to essential items only, but that doesn’t mean you should forget about treating yourself. Mattie Lacey-Davidson suggests four subscription services worth considering
Teen Calm A new service created by mother-and- daughter team Cathy Wassell and her 15-year-old daughter Freya, who has autism. Each subscription box will provide a supply of goodies and offer a warm, welcoming, safe space where teenagers can establish a self-care routine, learn how to self-regulate, introduce calmness into their lives, enjoy a hefty serving of happiness and self- love, and even rediscover their lost confidence through this alone time.
