What’s actually trending
Pulled from this week’s Shopping.co.uk click data. Brief notes on the ones worth a closer look.
Cooling and fans
The category nobody talks about until it’s hot. UK shoppers are clearly prepping. The current top picks span every price point.
Shark TurboBlade Multi-Directional Cooling Fan - £180-£250 depending on colour, currently 28% off. New for 2025, and the air-movement performance reviews are strong.
Dyson Cool CF1 desk fan - around £199, 20% off currently. Compact, bladeless, the entry-level Dyson. Worth comparing across retailers because Dyson kit varies more than you’d expect.
Dyson AM07 Cool Tower Fan - £299, 14% off. The mid-tier Dyson tower. Strong noise reviews.
Shark ChillPill 3-in-1 Fan, Mist & InstaChill - £120, 8% off. Cooling fan with a mist function and a phone-controlled chill setting. The novelty pick of the category.
If your home gets warm in summer and you’ve been putting it off, this is the week to look. Plenty of retailers running cooling-category sales already.
LEGO collectibles
LEGO consistently outperforms in spring/early-summer click rates - graduation gifts, Father’s Day prep, summer projects.
LEGO Star Wars Death Star (75419) - around £837 across UK retailers. The high-ticket LEGO of the year, and demand is steady.
LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr (10333) - £400. The Tower of Sauron, 5,471 pieces. Strong gift-search traffic.
LEGO Gremlins: Gizmo - £90. Smaller, novelty, popular with the “I want something LEGO but not a huge project” audience.
Trainers and summer kit
Three trainers in the top 30 this week. Not a heat-of-summer pattern - more “I need new shoes before holiday season.”
- Nike P-6000 in grey - £79 (size-dependent)
- New Balance 740 - £45
- adidas Adizero Evo SL - £85, 25% off
A few oddities
The trending data picks up some genuinely-strange items each week. Two worth noting:
Wet & Forget Mould, Lichen & Algae Remover - £19, 2-litre. UK shoppers are clearly cleaning patios and walls for summer. Bigger category than you’d expect.
Freestyle Libre 2 Sensor - £45. Continuous glucose monitor, increasingly popular outside the diabetic community. Driven by recent press coverage on metabolic health.
What the trends say
Two things stand out from this week’s data.
First, the cooling category is real. UK retailers shifted into “summer prep” mode about three weeks ago and shoppers are responding. If you’ve been thinking about a fan, an air purifier or anything cooling, you’re not late - prices haven’t peaked, and the discount activity is healthy across both Dyson and Shark.
Second, June is the new October for LEGO. The Star Wars and LOTR sets get strong gift-search traffic in the lead-up to Father’s Day and end-of-school-year. Worth knowing if you’re thinking about a present.
What’s coming next week
Two events on the radar that will likely shift trending patterns:
- Father’s Day (21 June) is three weeks away. Expect grooming, audio and tools to climb the charts as gift-buying ramps up.
- Amazon Prime Day is now officially confirmed for 23-26 June - starting two days after Father’s Day. Categories that historically discount hard (audio, smart home, kitchen) will likely surge in click-rate over the next three weeks.

Final word
Trending data isn’t a buying guide - it just tells you what other people are looking at. Sometimes that signals genuine value (the cooling category right now). Sometimes it’s just a viral moment (the algae remover). Either way, the rule is the same: check what a couple of other UK retailers are charging before clicking buy.
