If you haven’t already started buying presents, especially for your wife, girlfriend, daughter, mother or a friend, then you better get your skates on.

If you have ever had a lump of chewing gum or anything sticky attaching itself to any piece of clothing, your first reaction is always ‘That’s ruined now!’ Fear not. Put the item in the freezer over night and by morning it will just peel away. I know this to be true as I did it myself on my best Nicole Farhi knitwear jumper over the weekend.

You know how it is, put on a wool skirt, or dress for that matter, over a pair of nylon tights and the inevitable static builds up causing the skirt to cling and start creeping up the legs.

Well simply fold the skirt or dress and put it in the fridge for five minutes and hey presto, static free!
