The viral £12 tiny fan that's quite literally saved my life this summer - and other hand-held fans you NEED as temperatures continue to soar in the UK

With the UK on track for one of the hottest summers in recent years, those of us who run hot will be seeking out any way to stay cool. Being a hot and sweaty person is not only inconvenient, it makes life unbelievably miserable. Over the years, I've tried almost everything to - literally and metaphorically - keep my cool in summer. From ice water and coffee to cool clothes and even bringing ice packs on the train - these either didn't work or were too much of a nuisance to carry around. I have the powerful Shark TurboBlade fan at home, but could never find something good enough for travelling. As soon as temperatures creep above 20C, I start to worry about how I'm going to keep cool, especially on public transport and at the office. I've tried handheld fans before but always found they weren't effective and ran out of battery in a few hours, leaving me hot and uncomfortable. That was until I discovered this lightweight handheld fan from John Lewis, which was recommended to me by a friend who could see I was suffering in the sun. After trying it out, I immediately went online and bought myself two in different colours and after using them almost every day for the past two months, I can safely say I will be buying more. I'm not the only one this has made an impression on either. The ANYDAY fan currently has over 2,000 five-star reviews on the John Lewis website. It comes in four colours: White, Sage, Lake Blue and Sunburn John Lewis ANYDAY foldable handheld fan £12 Shop Does this fan stop me from sweating completely? Of course not - but it does mean I can take action before I completely overheat and most importantly, it's completely portable. The John Lewis fan is without a doubt my top handheld pick, but if you're looking for something slightly different these similarly powerful handheld fans have received rave reviews online.
