Once again, are top list of the most popular products is characterized by things we can wear. With Government rules relaxed, we shifted gears and started putting time and effort into our appearance again.

Looking at what shoppers searched for on PriceRunner.com instead of the products they clicked on, we were able to find a few strong trends last month. These were mainly different ways to entertain ourselves and several types of popular consumer tech.
Even though the new game Elden Ring launched on February 25th in the UK, it made a big splash in the gaming world. It even placed in the list of top 20 most popular seraches in February, despite only being available to buy for a few days.
We also saw early signs of spring, with power tool brands such as Dewalt and Milwaukee amongst some of the most popular searches last month. With hotter weather predicted in April, now really is the time to touch up your outdoor space in preparation for those lovely sunny days.
