A good department store should make it easy to discover completely different products in one place. Rackhams does exactly that, bringing together fashion, beauty, homeware, electricals, garden products and everyday lifestyle essentials from a wide range of brands and sellers.
Here are four different finds currently worth exploring.
Love Urban Beauty 82 Piece Vegan Makeup Kit
For anyone who enjoys experimenting with colour, the Love Urban Beauty 82 Piece Vegan Makeup Kit offers plenty of variety in one organised vanity case.
Available through Rackhams, the set contains more than 50 eyeshadow shades arranged across nine colour palettes. The collection ranges from softer neutral shades to pinks, blues, greens and darker tones, making it easier to create both everyday and more expressive makeup looks.
The set also includes nail polishes, lip glosses, blushers and application tools, so it works as more than just an eyeshadow collection.
The products are vegan, EU compliant and PETA-certified cruelty free. The current listing positions the set as an accessible starter collection as well as a potential gift for someone beginning to build a broader makeup kit.
The pink vanity case also helps keep everything together instead of leaving dozens of individual makeup products scattered across drawers or a dressing table.
Best for: makeup beginners, gifting, experimenting with colour and creating a complete starter collection.

Lancaster Sun Beauty Satin Dry Oil SPF50
The Lancaster Sun Beauty Satin Dry Oil is designed for people who want high sun protection without the heavier feel sometimes associated with traditional sunscreen lotions.
The SPF50 formula available from Rackhams uses a lightweight oil texture that melts into the skin and leaves a satin-like finish rather than a greasy residue.
It also leaves a subtle shimmer, giving exposed skin a more polished appearance during warmer weather or holidays.
The 150ml formula is designed to provide broad sun protection while supporting hydration. Lancaster also describes it as helping promote a deeper-looking tan with less sun exposure.
As with any sunscreen, it should be applied generously before sun exposure and reapplied as needed. No sunscreen can provide complete protection from UV radiation, so shade, clothing and limiting prolonged exposure remain important.
Best for: holidays, summer days, beach trips and anyone who prefers a dry-oil sunscreen texture.

Living and Home Adjustable Arch Floor Lamp
Lighting can completely change the atmosphere of a living room, and an arched floor lamp offers a useful way to bring light directly over a sofa, chair or reading area without installing a ceiling fixture.
The Living and Home model available through Rackhams combines a long curved metal stand with a dome-shaped shade and a marble base.
The height can be adjusted between approximately 130 cm and 180 cm, helping the lamp work with different furniture arrangements. Shade sizes of 25 cm and 30 cm are available, with colour options including orange and white.
A foot-operated floor switch means the lamp can be turned on and off without reaching behind furniture, while the downward-facing shade directs light toward the seating area below.
The marble base adds visual weight and helps balance the long arched profile, allowing the lamp to extend over furniture without needing a table or wall-mounted fixture.
Best for: reading corners, sofas, living rooms, bedrooms and home offices.

Smeg KLF05 Retro Mini Kettle
For smaller kitchens or anyone who usually prepares only one or two drinks at a time, the Smeg KLF05 Mini Kettle combines compact proportions with the brand’s distinctive 1950s-inspired design.
The model available through Rackhams has a 0.8-litre capacity, which is enough for approximately three cups. Its smaller size can also help reduce the temptation to boil much more water than is actually needed.
A 1400W heating element provides fast boiling, while the concealed element makes the inside easier to clean.
The kettle also includes a 360-degree swivel base, a balanced pouring spout, a manual lid that opens to approximately 80 degrees and automatic shutoff when the water reaches boiling temperature. Anti-slip feet help keep it stable on the worktop.
At around 20 cm high, it is particularly useful where kitchen counter space is limited.
Best for: smaller kitchens, couples, home offices and anyone who likes retro-inspired appliances.
