Wales Online2 days ago
Holidaymakers who are still stuffing or folding clothes directly into a suitcase are missing out on a hassle-free travel trick. Affordable, simple to use and a complete game-changer, now is the perfect time to uncover the transformative power of packing cubes.
These lightweight, zippered containers may not look revolutionary, but they are helping travellers to find those all important extra inches in cases, bags and even hand luggage. Available in various sizes, they can be used to keep everything together on the move.
With a variety of different types to select from, shoppers can 'bag' an excellent bargain via deal site Wowcher. Currently, new members of TopCashback can earn 100% cashback up to £15 on all online purchases at Wowcher, reducing the price of an 8-Piece Suitcase Compression Packing Cube Set from £16.99 to £1.99.
Significantly cheaper than a cup of coffee at the airport, this packing cube set takes the fuss out of packing. Each of the different-sized cubes and containers can be used to separate items by type (think tops, knickers, swimwear etc), by day or even by passenger, making it much easier to find on the go.
This travel organiser set includes a variety of different sizes for clothing, a makeup bag, a shoe bag, a flat bag and a drawstring bag that's ideal for efficiently sorting and storing travel essentials. Made from durable twill 290T fabric and PVC, the design features breathable mesh panels that help keep clothes fresh, along with water-resistant properties to protect contents from spills or moisture.
Two-way zippers and reinforced stitching offer a little bit of compression to help passengers stuff more in. Ergonomic handles allow for convenient carrying and handling during travel, and the cubes can be used to keep things nice and neat in hotel drawers, dressers and more.

Another purchaser remarked: "You had exactly what I wanted with all the info needed, so purchased a small case for the flight and packing bags for the clothes inside, great prices and you can have fast delivery too."

US government proposes easing some restrictions on drones traveling long distances

A new federal rule proposed Tuesday would make it easier for companies to use drones over longer distances out of the operator's sight without having to go through a cumbersome waiver process. The federal government had already approved 657 waivers to allow companies such as Amazon and major utilities to do this in certain circumstances, but the waiver process made it difficult. The industry has long pressed for the rule because being able to operate drones out of sight opens up a multitude of possibilities for their use. Being able to do this enables more use of drones for deliveries, inspecting infrastructure like bridges and power lines and other uses in agriculture over thousands of acres on large farms. 'This draft rule is a critical step toward enabling drone operations that will enhance safety, transform commercial services, and strengthen public safety with drones as a force multiplier," said Michael Robbins, president & CEO of the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International trade group. The rule spells out the circumstances drones can be used under while working to ensure they don't disrupt aviation and cause problems around airports, Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Bryan Bedford said. 'We are making the future of our aviation a reality and unleashing American drone dominance. From drones delivering medicine to unmanned aircraft surveying crops, this technology will fundamentally change the way we interact with the world,' Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said. President Donald Trump issued executive orders in June directing the Transportation Department to quickly get this rule out. The orders also included restrictions meant to help protect against terrorism, espionage and public safety threats. Drones are already used in a variety of ways, including bolstering search and rescue operations, applying fertilizer, inspecting power lines and railroad bridges, and even delivering packages. But the war in Ukraine has highlighted how drones could be used in a military or terrorist attack — a concern as the World Cup and Olympics approach in the U.S. There also have been espionage cases where drones have been used to surveil sensitive sites. And White House officials said drones are being used to smuggle drugs over the border, and there are concerns about the potential for a disastrous collision between a drone and an airliner around an airport.

Samsung shoppers rush for 30p a day Galaxy Watch7 deal

Samsung is having a busy period, launching a new range of folding phones this summer, as well as introducing the Watch8 to its smartwatch line-up. However, the release of the new watch has led to a price drop for last year's model, the Galaxy Watch7, which remains highly competitive in 2025. The Watch7 can be purchased directly from Argos starting at £239, but there's an opportunity to acquire the watch for pennies per day if bought through Sky. The website offers the 40mm version of the Galaxy Watch7 for a monthly fee of £9. This deal is based on a 36-month contract, meaning customers will pay a £95 premium compared to buying the watch outright. However, the contract carries a 0% interest rate with no hidden mid-contract price increases. Samsung markets this smartwatch more as a fitness and wellness companion than a traditional smartwatch. While it still displays time and phone notifications, it also provides comprehensive activity and biometric tracking. Runners and cyclists will value the improved dual GPS system for more precise tracking during outdoor activities - perfect for uploading to Strava or Komoot. The included heart rate sensor, ECG, and blood pressure monitor all contribute to daily health and fitness monitoring, reports the Manchester Evening News. Samsung has also developed an algorithm that utilises data to provide users with an 'energy score'. By analysing heart rate and sleep data, it can give owners a rough idea of how energised they might feel on any given day, aiding them in deciding whether to go for that run or not. If you're not so bothered about all the additional health tracking features and just want a basic smartwatch, the Nothing Watch Pro 3 might be up your street. It's available at Amazon for £99. Alternatively, some shoppers swear by the Amazfit Active 2, which has plenty of the same fitness tracking features for a smaller price tag. It's on sale at Amazon for £109.90 instead of the usual £129.90. Reviews for the Galaxy Watch7 are beginning to flood in on Amazon, with the device earning a 4.3-star rating so far. One customer titled their review 'best smart watch on the market at the moment', as they said: "Value for money, it's a no-brainer, especially if you find it at a discounted price." Another customer wrote: "Great piece of kit. I've previously owned many watches, including Apple watches. I have to say this is the best of the lot. It works great as a health tracker, too. I love the health app, too." Meanwhile, a third user added: "The strap is really comfortable and big enough for a large-wristed chap like myself." However, some purchasers say the timepiece is hampered by disappointing battery performance. They said: "So far it's been a good watch. Light, stylish and with all the features you can expect from a modern smartwatch. "But as I mentioned, the battery life lasting 2 days is just rubbish, so fed up with the charging hassle," reads one review. Another agrees, stating: "It is not so much the battery drain which is the issue for me as I can squeeze 2 days use out of it (with a lot of the features switched off). The major issue I have is the time it takes to recharge. "My watch was at 37% this morning, when I put it on the charger, it told me that it was going to take over 1 hour and 30 minutes to fully charge. No use for me."

Tefal steamer that makes clothes look 'fresh and smart' 45% off on Amazon

The Tefal Pure Pop clothes steamer is now £29 Handheld steamers have become a popular choice for quickly removing wrinkles and refreshing clothes without the hassle of an ironing board. A handy tool for quick wrinkle removal, the Tefal Pure Pop Slim Handheld Clothes Steamer is now available at a substantial discount on Amazon. The steamer is currently priced at £29 on Amazon, down from its usual £49.99, offering a 42 per cent saving. Available in coral, pink, yellow, and green, it's designed to quickly refresh clothes without the need for an ironing board. The Tefal Pure Pop heats up in just 15 seconds and delivers 20g of steam per minute from its 70ml detachable water tank. Its reversible pad features a velvet side for delicate fabrics and a lint removal side to tackle pet hair. The steamer works both vertically and horizontally, making it easy to refresh clothes on the hanger or handle tricky areas like collars and cuffs. Compact and lightweight, it comes with a travel pouch, making it ideal for on-the-go use. Alternatives to consider include the Morphy Richards Express Steam Handheld Garment Steamer, which has a 4.5-star rating from 80 reviews and is currently priced at £29.99. And the Russell Hobbs Steam Genie Essential Garment Steamer with a 4.4-star rating from 357 reviews at £28.00 on Argos. The Tefal Pure Pop holds a solid 4.3 out of 5 stars from 1,944 Amazon reviews, reflecting strong overall satisfaction. One user praised its quick heat-up and ease of use, saying it "easily gets creases out of clothes with little effort" and calling it perfect for travel. They added that it "really refreshes clothes and makes them look fresh and smart after packing." The small water chamber required frequent refilling, but this was seen as a benefit for portability. On the downside, one user said: "Great heat up time and durable. Helps remove wrinkles as an iron does and great to use and transport. Only problem is that you need to hang it up straight to use - it's annoying and need two people whereas with the iron you can just lay it flat on a bed. Don't recommend." Another reviewer noted it works well on trousers and jackets that can be damaged by traditional ironing but cautioned that it's not ideal for creating a perfectly crisp shirt. Still, they found it useful and valued especially at the discounted price. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

A fourth person said it "completely changed the way I travel," removing creases quickly and efficiently, comparing its performance to a regular iron. They called it "highly recommended for anyone who wants to look sharp on the go." Another reviewer was less impressed, writing: "Pretty average to be honest. It does get rid of some creases but it will not replace an iron. It doesn't leak, it stores enough water for 1 or 2 shirts and then needs a refill. A longer lead would be useful as well. Easy to use." If it's a quick, travel-friendly steamer you want, the Tefal Pure Pop is worth considering with its strong ratings and handy features.
