Mixed berry tart, from Le Pain Quotidien
Start the weekend as you mean to continue it - with a sweet treat. These lovely tarts from Le Pain Quotidien are packed full of delicious berries so hey, they are positively healthy, right? If your tooth, however, is not of the sweet variety, Buy of the Day thoroughly recommmends breakfasts at the cafe chain - the bread basket is carb-lovers heaven.
Thursday
Echo Touch gloves, £25, from Vandshop.com
It's not easy owning modern technology. Now that the winter is here, and gloves are a must, what's the iPhone owner to do? Stab with increasing frustration at an unresponsive screen or take off your glove and bare your delicate digits to the biting wind? No! For Buy of the Day has the answer (don't we always?) - we've discovered these amazing gloves by Echotouch. The clever design incorporates two tiny patches of "eLink" fabric on the index finger and thumb of each glove which make using a touch screen as easy as without any gloves at all. They also come in a huge variety of fetching colours and are genuinely stylish - the technology is discreet enough to pass a a design feature. Top marks.
Wednesday
Bamboo makeup brush set, £14.99 by EcoTools at Shop Vegan
Those of you who are cultivating moustaches in the name of charity (see below) will need some good grooming tools to tame those whiskers. This set is also perfect for those with an extensive morning makeup routine. With bamboo handles, cruelty free bristles and recycled aluminium ferrules (now there is a word you don't see so often on Buy of the Day), it's a product with impeccable eco-credentials, and very attractive too.
Tuesday
Cord shoes, £39, by TOMS Shoes
Buy of the Day has spent the last week or so doing comedy double takes, and uttering to itself, "that facial hair better be for charity". Yes, it's Movember, the moustache-growing worldwide charity event. Not being endowed with luxuriant whiskers (no sniggering at the back thank you) Buy of the Day is limiting itself to these lovely gold moustachioed shoes by TOMS. In addition to their usual "one for one" promise to donate a pair of shoes to a child in need for every purchase you make, they will also be donating to the Movember charity. Keep your facial adornments subtle, and on your feet.
Monday
Skin rescue oil, £33, from the Organic Pharmacy
This lovely, gentle nourishing oil, containing extracts of chickweed and evening primrose is designed specifically for very dry skin. Unfortunately now that is officially British Winter Time (at least at Buy of the Day Towers it is - if you are reading this on your iPad on a beach in Tahiti then go away and get a life) that might include rather a lot of us, as the cold and central heating does its worst.
