Psst — in case you didn't know, Amazon has a "Most Wished For" section chock-full of both viral and on-the-rise products users have added to their own wishlists and registries. Here are just a few picks we have our eyes on: 1. A handy portable car vacuum if your toddler's favorite game is to throw their Cheerios all over the backseat and then grind them into the cushions and floorboards on their way out of the car. 🙃 It comes with three detailing attachments (a flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle attachment). You also get a carrying bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle! Promising review: "Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house; however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October, my husband and I went to the ocean, and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" — Julia Bright Price : $37.90+ (available in two colors and two styles) 2. An outdoor rocking papasan chair I can only assume is the gateway to the best nap you've ever taken in your life. Promising review : "The color — beautiful! fabric — soft but durable for outside weather. Inside or outside chair and so comfortable you can absolutely curl right up with a blanket and fall asleep. It’s gorgeous but a small hassle putting it together. Once together — my favorite outside chair!" — Leslie Albano Price : $199.99 (available in three colors) 3. A lidded charcuterie board sure to make you the envy of any potluck!!! When they're not making wow-worthy assortments, though, reviewers also use it to store cut-up fruit and veg for the week. Promising review : "I bought these for a party and it was so easy to prep them and pop them into the fridge with the lid on. Same goes for staring leftovers afterward. It was also great to use for fresh fruit we cut up to enjoy all weekend. Looks lovely and is solid quality. " — AmJam Price : $28.34 . 4. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion — an affordable pick that TikTokers are also tripping over themselves to get as they swear it moisturizes and smells as good as much more expensive options from brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing. " — Dragonheart Jo Price : $8.98 5. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows because you haven't replaced yours in ohhh, three or four years? If they have sweat marks and unexplained stains... they're a lost cause, boo. Promising review : "I’ve been on the hunt to buy a down pillow like the ones I slept on at the top-rated Loews Hotel in Philly. This is that pillow! I’ve bought pillows online many times but nothing compared. This is the first pillow I’ve ever bought that didn’t hurt my neck or make me regret spending the money. I will absolutely be ordering another set! Absolutely the comfiest pillow, you won’t regret it. I never write reviews but just had to because I know the search for pillows is difficult when you can’t feel them. I promise you won’t regret it! " — Amazon Customer Price : $59.99+ (available in two sizes; clip the coupon for 20% off this price!) 6. A long-handled weed puller that allows you to rip up unruly plants without bending, pulling, or kneeling — something your bad back says no to anyways. Based in Oregon, Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a family-run small business dedicated to helping you while gardening. Promising review: “Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given my husband, and I bought our first house and knew nothing about caring for a yard, and boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get.” — JG Price : $39.99 7. A veggie chopper so you can dice up an onion without fear of losing a digit. Yes, I've watched Gordon Ramsay YouTube explainers on how to do it with a knife, but there's a disconnect between my head and my hand, okay?? Fullstar is a small business established in 2017 that specializes in kitchen gadgets. Check out a TikTok of their veggie chopper in action. Promising review: "This is the best of its kind. It cuts great and is very sturdy — I had been using a lesser model. I even cubed chicken breasts today plus cauliflower, onions, and more. I was a chef for 30 years and I love this so much I had to review straight away! " — david fasnacht Price : $29.99 (available in four colors) 8. A portable "washing machine" sure to come in handy if you have any camping or backpacking trips on the horizon. The bag weighs just 5 ounces and packs down to pocket-size, but it'll give you a machine-quality wash nonetheless! Promising review : "I recently took this bag with me to Morocco for a two-week trip. I wanted to pack lightly since I knew I would be moving around the country almost every day. I ended up taking a small carry-on with this included. This bag was great! So easy to use, and really cleaned clothing well . Everyone else in my group used it as well and were so impressed by how easy and well it worked. It was so helpful for us to wash our clothes after we got stranded after an earthquake in a place with no power. I will be taking this with me on all future vacations, no matter where ." — Amazon Customer Price : $55+ (available in two colors) 9. A NutriBullet baby food maker so you can not only meal prep for yourself every week, but your kiddos too. What's included: One 200-watt motor base, one blending blade, one 32-ounce batch bowl with lid, one 12-ounce short cup with handles and re-sealable lid, six storage cups with date ring lids and storage tray, one silicone freezer tray with lid, and a recipe book Promising review: "Wow this thing is amazing! So nice to have a way to make homemade baby food. The little freezer tray freezes them to perfectly pop out and into one of the fridge containers. I can pre-make, then freeze, pop them out, put them in a baggie, and get out the flavor I want when I'm ready . 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!! So easy to clean and use. I adore this thing!" — Shayla Hudson Price : $49.99 10. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller ready to put your regular old lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out. Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Price : $19.99+ (available in three colors) 11. And a dog-grooming vacuum so you can give your pup a salon-worthy grooming right at home and save yourself some $$$ Promising review : "I have a Great Pyrenees. If you know, you know (send help). This photo is after about 20 minutes, mainly focusing on her bum area. She still has a bunch left, but holy cow am I impressed!! This little thing is AMAZING. And it’s a lot quieter than I expected. My girl is still a little timid with it but she will get used to it in no time. The only thing I wish is that it was slightly bigger. I obviously have a very large dog with a LOT of fur, so I had to stop to empty it several times. But that being said, it’s still fantastic!" — Amazon Customer Price : $69.99 12. A roll-on sunscreen sponge if you can't stannnnnd greasy hands — especially when you're surrounded by sand. Just fill it up with your SPF of choice and use the roller ball to easily apply it. It's so simple that kids can even get in on the action. Reviewers recommend using a more watery sunscreen; if your preferred sunscreen is quite thick, this may not work for you. And JSYK, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) says most adults need about an ounce (the equivalent of a shot glass) of sunscreen to cover their face and body adequately. Promising review: "Not just for kids. I told all my friends it's awesome. Pricey, but better than wasting expensive sunscreen in globs. This makes the sun screening process much less messy and not as much of a drudgery. They even have replacement pads available so the ergonomic container can be reused indefinitely . Consider one to keep at home and one packed to travel. MAKES A GREAT GIFT FOR KIDS. They can almost apply sunscreen on their own with little assistance." — Bette Henry Price : $13.58 (available in seven colors and a two-pack) 13. A smudge-proof, transfer-proof lip stain masque that goes on blue and then peels off to reveal a natural matte shade that lasts for up to 10 hours! Promising reviews: "I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute, and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful . It’s true to its word about the 12-hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! Do you like lip stains? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." — Brandy Price : $17+ (available in 30 shades) 14. COSRX's Snail Mucin Repairing Essence which addresses dullness and dehydration with — yes 😌 — 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Thanks for sharing the goods, friends! 🐌 Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help kick my all of stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing , rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!" Promising review : "So I have been using this for a month and I have to say — AMAZING . It really has helped my dark spots, which are also tied to my hormones. So the fact that it lightens them and keeps them from getting dark again during my period is a testament to the power of this stuff. Plus, this stuff just keeps going!! One pump is enough for my face, or two for my face and neck. Because of this it will last! It works amazingly well and considering how much you get, this is an amazing product. I highly recommend it." — JH Price : $16.75 15. Solar-powered light-up flowers sure to add some whimsy to any outdoor space. And since they're cordless, you don't have to worry about being in proximity of an outlet. Promising review: "I’ll be purchasing more of these lights! They are unique and very pretty. Bright white color! Reminds me of fireflies floating around!"— Dooleydoes Price : $16.98 for a pack of two 16. A gorgeous ceramic-coated cookware set if your $5 Ikea pots and pans gave you exactly the performance you paid for, so it's time for an upgrade. What's included: 1.5 qt. saucepan with lid, 2 qt. saucepan with lid, 3 qt. saucepan with lid, 5-quart stock pot with lid, 7.5-quart steamer basket, 8-quart stock pot with lid, 8-inch fry pan, 10-inch fry pan Promising review : "This set is amazing and well worth the price. These are enamel glazed and have not chipped, peeled or scratched. They heat evenly. No need for cooking spray when making eggs. I cannot express how satisfied I am with this purchase ." — ARH Price : $299.99+ (available in two styles and nine colors) 17. A Hatch Baby alarm clock — with a sleep training setting and soothing white noise — if you love your little one more than anything in the world, but you could both stand to get some additional shut-eye. The clock and nightlight can be controlled anywhere via an app on your smartphone. As far as sleep training goes, it allows you to program colors and sounds to let your little know when it's time to go to bed vs. wake up. Promising review : "I was having trouble sleep training my baby and this has been a game changer! There are different sounds you can change it to and you can also change the lights. The versatility is amazing. It also displays the time, which is very helpful. The size is great to give a nice ambiance to the room. Very easy to change the volume. You can change the sound setting with just a tap! Works miracles for helping your little ones sleep better at night ." — Jasmine Freeman Price : $59.99 18. A plug-in insect trap that can contend with mosquitoes, gnats, moths, and fruit flies because if they're not eating you alive, they're messing with your plants and produce and you won't stand for it!!!! Promising review : "This really works for us! We live in the country, LOTS of little bugs where we are. Originally bought this to catch the houseflies that have been really bad the last two summers. And while this has helped with that, the majority of bugs it catches have been little things following the light into the house at night, little grass bugs, MOSQUITOES, little flying things, and so on. It works SO well, I have been changing the little sticky thing every two weeks or so, which seems like a lot, but it gets full of bugs! Definitely would recommend if you are out in the country like me!" — Cait Keene Price : $19.97 19. A Barbie-pink collapsible wagon with more uses than you can count on your fingers. Bring it to the beach, use it to lug groceries, let your toddler take a cat nap in it when you're at Costco... the list goes on. Promising review : "My wife and I are really enjoying not having to pull our backs out while bringing in groceries. We'll be taking this to the farmers market and the beach. Also comes in handy hauling chicken feed and pet foods. Overall, it performs as needed, very easy to handle even on our rural property's terrain, very well built and comfortable to pull. " — HistoryBuff1974 Price : $149.99 (also available in six other colors) 20. An under-sink organizer so you can make the absolute most of your cabinet space. Use it to store claw clips, extra bottles of shampoo, or whatever else desperately needs a home. Promising review : "Whoever designed under-the-sink cabinets needs a stern talking to. Thankfully, organizers like this exist! They seem small, but they hold a LOT. I was able to fit everything under my sink in them, with enough cabinet room left over to declutter my counter! While they’re by no means high-end, they are sturdy and very well-made. They slide in and out smoothly, and make organization a breeze. My husband saw the finished product and immediately wanted a set for himself!" — LadyLoLinda Price : $24.99 (also available as a set of two) 21. An internet-beloved Ninja Creami if your favorite foods are ice cream, gelato, smoothie bowls, milkshakes, and sorbets. 😊 Whether or not you want to amp up their nutritional value with protein powder is entirely up to you! See it in action on TikTok here . Promising review: "I bought this to make sorbets and dairy-free treats. This is the best machine, and you will use it after summer. All you need is a can of fruit, and it whips up the best sorbet! This is better than any sorbet I have found except in Mikonos. The possibilities are endless with this machine. I love that you can add candy or fruits to make your own blizzards. Everyone in the family loves it and requests their own. Recipe book included is easy to follow and no hard to find ingredients. You do have to freeze the base for 24 hours, but it’s worth the wait. Definitely order extra pints because it’s so easy to make you will want to make extra flavors." — Krista Price: $199 (available with two different pint sizes) 22. A stainless-steel Owala water bottle so you can stay hydrated whether you're a Pilates devotee, CrossFitter, or just love a leisurely hot girl walk. It has a built-in straw and an open spout so you can sip or chug. Check out the Owala FreeSip water bottle on TikTok ! Promising review: "This is the second one I have purchased. I love this water bottle for the ease of drinking. The built-in sipping feature is a game changer, and I appreciate being able to close the top and keep the mouthpiece clean, unlike bottles with exposed straws. Don't ever change the design! " — Jill Price : $22.99+ (available in 16 colors and 4 sizes) 23. Anua's Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil which goes after blackheads and general congestion so aggressively, some reviewers even say you they can see 👀 the dirt and dead skin get flushed out. Promising review : "WOW GUYS!!!! This pore-cleansing oil is AMAZING!!! My cousin told me about how it went viral on TikTok, so I thought I would try it, and it’s been working wonders. I have tried so many face washes and nose strips, but with this, my blackheads and pores are shrinking tremendously. It also smells good and makes my skin very soft. I use it right after I get out of the shower while my pores are still warm and opened up — then I rub circles with two squirts of the oil on my face for about a minute and rinse it off. This is a miracle worker!!! Goodbye blackheads!!" — SK Price : $17.69 24. A Simple Modern tumbler if you're looking for an option that will keep your drink cold for hours on end and don't really care about the name brand. 🤷♀️ It also comes in a bunch of pretty pastels, sooo it's really a no-brainer. Many reviewers said they find themselves drinking more water when they have a straw, and the fact that it's so dang cute doesn't hurt either! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "I finally decided to hop on board the hype train for these big tumblers and am already obsessed with my Simple Modern one! I opted for the mint green color and it's as pretty as I'd hoped in person. The fact that this has both a straw and a handle means I end up carrying it around with me and drinking WAY more water than I did before. BTW! I highly recommend getting straw covers to protect against dust and germs — as pictured above, I got cute cloud ones (like these ), and they work perfectly!" Promising review : "If you have been wanting a Stanley cup, believe me, save yourself some money and get this cup! You will end up with a better cup than the Stanley! I have dropped/tipped over this cup a couple of times and only a couple of drops of water come out. If I did that to my Stanley, water got everywhere! And this cup keeps the water so cold. And if you purchase silicone straw toppers, it keeps the water even colder! Also, it fits in my car cup holder, and my Stanley really didn’t . Love this cup!" — Amazon Customer Price : $26.99+ (available in two sizes and 43 colors; also available in a style without the handle ) 25. An eight-tier plant stand with built-in grow lights so you don't have to pick which of your babies gets access to your one and only sunny windowsill. Promising review : "Plants are happy for the light they get indoors and it looks great... building was a little confusing for me, but if I can build it, anyone can because I’m clueless when it comes to hardware. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" — Ozzi Price : $95.98 26. An all-in-one K-beauty balm that does the work of a lip balm ✅ , eye cream ✅ , neck cream ✅ , primer ✅ , and face mist ✅ ! Man, I love a multi-use product that not only saves me time... but saves me MONEY. Promising review: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!! ! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me, will def try the others!" — Kristy Price : $22.99 (available in six styles) 27. A pair of magnetic fridge shelves you can slap to the side of your fridge and not have to think about again. It's a great option for renters since you don't have to go drilling any holes or YouTubing any videos on how to use a stud finder. Promising review : "I highly recommend this product! We struggled with finding the best place to keep my husband’s many, many spices and seasonings and we didn’t want something that sits on the counter as we are already short on counter space. I also didn’t want something that hung on the wall above the stove as it would get greasy and gross from cooking splatter. These magnetic shelves are the perfect solution, fit plenty of containers without worry of any falling out, and the magnets are very strong but not so strong that I feel it’s damaging my fridge. They’re also very easy to remove/clean when needed and reposition if necessary. Highly recommend." — Michelle N. Price : $21.99+ (available in sets of two, four, and six and in 14 colors) 28. Catrice's "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — a hyaluronic acid-enriched color-adaptive formula that neutralizes bluish under-eye shadows and dark circles. Tap it on with your finger or a sponge and you'll suddenly look like you slept a full eight hours! The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Check out a TikTok of the brightener in action. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T. Price : $6 (available in two shades) 29. Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Bum Jet Set — the most cost-effective way to try out the brand's viral bum bum cream, moisturizing shower gel, and body fragrance mist. The beloved trio brings your at-home pampering to the next level with exfoliating mango- and banana-derived acids, firming guaraná extract, and moisturizing fermented sugar. Promising review : "This is a great product for people who want to dip their toe into Sol De Janerio products like me! I always see this all over my social media and was wanting to try it without clearing my bank account. The lotion is long lasting and very moisturizing! I love to carry the mini perfume in my school bag wherever I go! Lastly, the body gel is a nice touch to an everything shower." — Lea Price : $30 (available in three scents) 30. Some 100% bio-based face wipes , as they're just the ticket if BeautyTok has convinced you to ditch regular towels which — even when freshly laundered — can harbor acne-causing bacteria. These are 100% USDA-certified bio-based, meaning they're made entirely from plant-based materials and better for the environment than your regular disposable wipes. Clean Skin Club is a small business that launched in 2019 to create innovative natural skincare products. Promising reviews : " Starting in my 30s, I had developed some acne, and not just around that time of month . I read your bath towels can develop bacteria every few days if they're not washed, and so putting that on your face can cause acne. That's why I bought these towels! I use them after my skincare routine on my face, and then again, to clean up our sink (yay for double use)! They have cleaned up my skin significantly , and I highly recommend these!" — Jaclyn O "I’ve dealt with mild acne and terrible scarring since I was in 8th grade. I’m 30 now. I haven’t had one pimple since I’ve switched to using these. I use the same towel for about 3–4 days, which is 6–8 uses, so it’s not even necessary to use a new one every day / every use. They’re really wonderful." — Dami Price : $17.05 for a pack of 50 (also available in other pack sizes) 31. And a daisy choker if you're always on the hunt for delicate but unique jewelry. PS: It's handmade! The necklace comes from SmileBelle , a small California-based jewelry maker. Promising review : "It’s a very pretty, simple necklace. I love it!! I’ve worn it every day since I bought it which has been for about a week now, and I can officially say it’s durable and great quality. No weird green stains on my skin. I also have a bad habit of sleeping and showering in my jewelry, and it’s withstood all of that so far." — Tracy Price : $9.99 Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Luke Littler pleads for former Man United star to return to the club in now-deleted Instagram post after Red Devils man's error in Europa League win over Viktoria PlzenProsecutors seek to drop criminal case in ‘major victory’ for Trump
Seattle Seahawks receiver is DK Metcalf is just fine when he doesn't have the the ball because it means he gets to showcase his blocking skills. “I just look at it as a sign of respect that I’ve gained from other defensive coordinators and just continue to do my job with it as blocking or being a decoy,” the two-time Pro Bowler said. While opposing defenses have keyed in on Metcalf, other aspects of Seattle's offense have surfaced during its four-game winning streak. The run has the Seahawks (8-5) sitting atop the NFC West heading into Sunday night's game against the visiting Green Bay Packers (9-4). Geno Smith's new top target is second-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who needs 89 receiving yards for his first career 1,000-yard season. Smith-Njigba has 75 catches for 911 yards and five touchdowns, while Metcalf, often dealing with double coverage, has 54 catches for 812 yards and two scores. Metcalf says he feels the pride of a “proud parent or a big brother” when it comes to Smith-Njigba's success. Seattle's offense also got a boost from the ground game in a 30-18 victory over the Arizona Cardinals last weekend . Zach Charbonnet, filling in for the injured Kenneth Walker III, ran for a career-best 134 yards and two touchdowns. The Seahawks face another hot team in the Packers (9-4), who have won seven of nine. Green Bay's two losses over that stretch have come against NFC-best Detroit (12-1), including a 34-31 victory by the Lions on Dec. 5, which means the NFC North title is likely out of reach for the Packers. The Packers are well-positioned for a playoff berth, but that almost certainly won't come this weekend. They would need a win, a loss or tie by the Atlanta Falcons and a tie between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. Metcalf, who learned to block from his father, former Chicago Bears offensive lineman Terrence Metcalf, says he tries to take blocking seriously to set himself apart from other receivers. His priorities are simple when he's getting double-teamed and the ball goes elsewhere. “Trying to block my (butt) off and trying to get pancakes on defensive backs,” he said. Love heats up When the Packers surged their way into the playoffs last season, quarterback Jordan Love was a major reason why. He had 18 touchdown passes and one interception during Green Bay's final eight games. During the last four games of this season, Love ranks third in the NFL with a 118.9 passer rating with six touchdowns, one interception and a league-best 10.3 yards per attempt. “I always feel like I can put the ball where I want to — and that’s part of it, too, having that confidence to be able to throw those passes,” Love said. “There’s always like I said a handful of plays that might not come off or be in the exact spot that you wanted it to or the throw might be a little bit off. So, that’s where you’ve just got to try to be at your best every play, be consistent and accurate as possible.” Passing fancy Green Bay’s pass defense has been picked apart the last two weeks. First, it was torched by Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins in a Packers win. Next, it allowed Jared Goff to complete his final 13 passes as the Lions rallied to victory. It won’t get any easier this week. Smith is second in the NFL in attempts, completions and passing yards and is fifth in completion percentage. “It’s been a remarkable turnaround for him in terms of just where he started,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “It’s not always where you start, but where you finish. And it tells me a lot about the person in terms of his resiliency and ability to fight through some adversity. He’s a dangerous quarterback.” The potential return of former All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) could help the Packers. Fashion forward Will the Packers break out their head-to-toe white uniforms? The last time Green Bay wore the winter white look was in a 24-22 win over Houston in October. The Packers asked fans to weigh in on social media . As for the Seahawks, they'll be sporting their “Action Green” uniforms. Metcalf is a fan. “I would say this about the Action Green, I love them personally in my opinion, but the big guys hate them. I don’t know why, don’t ask me," he said. “Hopefully, the Packers wear all white, so it’ll be a fun-looking game.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
2025 calendar detail is freaking everyone outThe boss of the company behind biscuit giants McVitie’s, Jacobs and Carr’s has warned that the UK has become a less attractive place to invest. Speaking at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)’s annual conference on Monday , Salman Amin, the chief executive of Pladis, the firm behind the iconic brands, warned that Britain has become less attractive as a place to do business. He said: “Historically we’ve been super bullish on the UK. In fact, by far, the greatest investment across all of our countries over the last decade or so has come to the UK ... so we’ve been a very major investor in the UK.” But he cautioned: “We would like to continue to be a major investor going forward. It’s becoming harder to understand what the case for investment is.” Amin was the latest business voice to weigh in on concerns following Labour’s first Budget and its effect on Britain’s economy. While CBI director general Rain Newton-Smith warned tax hikes in the fiscal statement had made it harder for businesses to “take a chance” on hiring people , as the government prepares to announce big welfare reforms that aim to “get Britain working”. Writing in today’s City AM, Amin said: “Growth will only come when business and government fly in formation. By that I mean business and government need to deeply understand one another. “It is only by trusting and truly understanding each other’s perspectives that we will deliver a genuinely inclusive industrial strategy.” Chancellor Rachel Reeves used an appearance at the CBI conference to defend her government’s approach to business following a backlash against measures unveiled at last month’s Budget. Asked during a fireside chat with the Scottish Power boss Kevin Anderson whether she would “rethink any of the measures that you’ve announced”, Reeves insisted: “We’ve made our decisions.” She said: “It’s really important that the sums add up, and I’m determined to be the Chancellor that puts our public finances on a firm footing after all the instability that we’ve faced these last few years. “We’ve made our decisions. I’ve had lots of feedback on the budget, but what I haven’t heard is any credible alternatives to what I did to put our public finances on that firm footing.” Reeves also insisted she would not be coming back to the despatch box to announce plans for more borrowing or further tax rises. Asked if she could confirm there would be no more big tax rises on businesses, she said: “We have now drawn a line under the fiction peddled by the previous government. “We’ve put our public finances back on a firm footing, and we’ve now set the budgets for public services for the duration of this Parliament. “Public services now need to live within their means because I’m really clear, I’m not coming back with more borrowing or more taxes.” But Rupert Soames, CBI chairman, said despite some “helpful” measures such as the corporate tax roadmap, businesses have been “milked as the cash cow” in Labour’s Budget. Soames also highlighted the government’s plans to get people back into work, which he argued were “directly in conflict” with a Budget which makes hiring people “much more expensive” and the planned employment rights package which he said made taking on new hires “much more risky”. He continued: “It’s hardly surprising that business people are scratching their heads and asking themselves: ‘What really is the government trying to achieve, and how do these policies hang together?’” Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride commented: “Rachel Reeves has some gall to stand in front of business leaders and suggest that she is on their side. “Labour’s national insurance jobs tax will punish businesses across the country – making it harder for them to create jobs, driving down wages and discouraging investment. “Thanks to Labour’s choices, independent forecasts are predicting growth slowing, inflation rising and borrowing soaring. It is clear all she has delivered so far is a litany of broken promises.”
