An everyday garden essential has quietly become Amazon’s top seller – and spring weather is the key reason why

This is currently the best selling garden item on Amazon - and there's an important reason why.

People are buying grass seed in huge numbers because it's a great time of year to enhance your lawn - as the spring finally sets in.

According to Amazon more than 5,000 people have snapped up a box of Pronto Seed Premium Grass seed in the last month alone - so we're obviously still a nation obsessed with the perfect piece of lawn.

In the UK, the two best times to seed a lawn are March to May, and early autumn. And the 1.4kg box of Pronto Seed, priced at £14.49 will give most people enough to cover a small lawn twice a year.

Right now, as soil temperatures rise above about 8–10°C and there’s a bit more natural rainfall, conditions are ideal for germination.

Seeding a lawn is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to improve the look and health of your garden.

It helps fill in bare patches, thicken up thin areas and crowd out weeds naturally, creating a denser, greener finish.

Over time, fresh seed also strengthens the lawn’s root system, making it more resilient to foot traffic, drought and changing weather.

If your lawn is looking a bit tired after a long, hard autumn and winter, this should perk it right up long before it's time to get friends over and the barbecue lit.

It's important to follow the instructions closely for the best results - and a good seed spreader will pay off in the long runplaceholder image

Pronto Seed recommends you rake some light soil over the seed for the best germination, and you obviously need to keep the area moist for a while as the seeds germinate.

To make life even easier, it's worth investing in a seed spreader. Here's one on Amazon that we've tested and we really like.

e.l.f. Cosmetics

Matching foundation and concealer shades can be one of the trickiest parts of any make-up routine 😩 – but e.l.f. Cosmetics say their newly launched Soft Glam collection could make things much simpler.

The Soft Glam Base Covered Duo bundles the Soft Glam Satin Foundation with the Soft Glam Satin Concealer, both available in 36 shades 🎨 covering cool, neutral and warm undertones across fair to rich skin tones. The idea is simple – choose the same shade for both products and create a coordinated base without the usual guesswork.

Both formulas promise lightweight, satin-finish coverage that is buildable, crease-resistant and transfer-resistant ✨ – designed for everyday wear whether you prefer a natural glow or a more polished look.

Even better for shoppers, the duo is currently £10 with code FLAWLESS 💸 – saving £4 compared with buying the products separately.
