One for the girls!   We have mouse mats at our desks, now here's a heat protecting mat for your hair straighteners.  The mat is designed to protect your surfaces from the heat of straighteners and hair dryers.  The black (or pink) mat is a convenient size and what's more it changes colour when your straighteners are hot - a very handy safety feature.  My teenage daughter put it to the test and it was an instant hit.  No more standing them upright against the wall in her bedroom!  It's not a bad price either at under £10 and could prove a nice stocking pressie if you are thinking that far ahead.

The Gripeze is a heat resistant, non-slip silicone glitter mat designed for all hot hair tools and helps protect surfaces from heat damage up to 250C.  The mat is designed to grip most surfaces as well as the straighteners or tongs.  After use you can unplug your straighteners and leave them on the mat to cool down, or roll them up in the mat with the band provided.

It's a worthwhile investment to prevent damage to your carpet or dressing table - perhaps every mum should consider this mat an essential for teenage daughters!

Gripeze is available for £9.99 included P&P from  www.parmagray.com
