We asked our team to share what’s on their new-season wish list
Summer, we see you. To celebrate the change in the season, we’ve compiled a handy edit of newness across our Beauty, Home, Tech and Fashion categories. From an exclusive LOEWE fragrance and just-landed Completedworks jewellery, to an ice-cream maker and our viral handheld fans, each product has been carefully selected by the team. So, consider this your definitive list of the best new-season essentials, made for summer and all guaranteed to become instant favourites.
“LOEWE’s latest scent takes its original Aire Sutileza fragrance on a summer holiday – combining the notes of pear and jasmine, which fans love, with lemon and Italian bergamot for a more vibrant and feminine scent. As the temperature rises, I’m reaching for Fenty Beauty’s Fenty Skin Dew N Plump Hydrating Nectar Face Mist. This hydration hero smells delicious, plays well with makeup and, most importantly, gives you bouncy, dewy skin in just a spritz. Finally, Guerlain’s beautifully packaged limited-edition, glow-giving bronzing powder creates a natural, healthy-looking finish for summer complexions.”

“For me, an outdoor lantern is a summer hosting essential; this one gets bonus points for the remote control that changes between the seven different-coloured light settings. Next, the BBQ: with its distinctive design, the Kamado Joe Classic is a game-changer. I love that the Automatic Fire Starter (AFS) button offers one-touch ignition, meaning you can skip the fire-lighting struggle. And when summer nights get warm, I look for bedding that’s natural and breathable. Beyond being comfortable, this 100-per-cent cotton set is light and fresh. 10/10.”

“Long summer days and a new Garmin watch make for great workout motivation. Garmin is undeniably one of the best fitness tracker brands out there, and this Cloud Blue smartwatch has incredible features and battery life. After all that running, I deserve a treat: enter Ninja’s CREAMi Deluxe for an ice cream and/or frozen marg. Also a great addition if you like to host. Lastly, our foldable handheld fan is set to be this summer’s must-have accessory (again). I still can’t believe it’s only £12. It makes commuting, festivals and holidays a breeze.”
– Ellen North-Row, senior technology category planning manager
“Beautiful and unique jewellery brand Completedworks has landed at John Lewis and I couldn’t be happier. These delightful hand-twisted earrings, exclusive to John Lewis, are crafted in London. For an instant Men’s style upgrade, I love these G.H.BASS slingback loafers – they’re foolproof and summer-friendly. Finally, for little ones, I challenge you to find anything sweeter than Mini Boden’s strawberry swimsuit. Adorable!”
