I’ve had a really good year with product tests after not really getting on any last year which shows you need to keep trying and not give up!

My youngest LOVED the Savse baby foods which encouraged me to try their adult smoothies. We also tested sunscreen which proved to be a great brand and I was lucky enough to get something for me - Liz Earle skincare. I’ve continued to buy and use the hot cloth cleanser and it replaced my regular brand.

Things I’d love to try would be a mattress although I know there has been a test so we are unlikely to see another one. I’d love to try or read about a test on high-end hair products to see if they are really worth it, most notably a Dyson hairdryer or Cloud Nine straighteners.

I would like to try some beauty products, as I always find it hard to choose as there's so much out there these days to try.

I have enjoyed undertaking the not\rtcoast 500 this year

Well I've signed up and following on Twitter.
Looking forward to hearing from you

I would like to test the amazon echo as I am fascinated by how it works x

I'd love to be a tester this next year

Enjoyed taking part in the surveys posted this year.

I followed and retweeted

I have tested some make up products but i would really like to test the dyson hairdryer.

I’d like to test any baby/toddler snacks, as am running out of ideas!

I would love to product test perfumes, holidays and gadgets!

I'm now following your insight twitter feed.

I’d love to test the Nest thermostat

Followed @MumsnetInsight and retweeted. My twitter handle is @Earlybird2013

Following over on twitter :) Best wishes for whatever it is you decide to do next!

Following on mumsnet and retweet Odeon post. I would love to test carpet cleaners - are there any good ones out there that really work and are not fiddly to use?

I would love to test a holiday package or car, i mean who wouldnt!? But i enjoy testing everything and anything i am lucky to! xx

I'd love to product test books and one of those air-fryers. Think that's wishful thinking though!! Oh yes to the Dyson hairdryer. Would love to see what the hype is all about.

Well if we're dreaming, i'd love to product test a holiday :) somewhere nice and sunny. Oh and a Robot hoover!

I have tried out the my first Savse foods with my baby and they were great. We also tried out the birds eye food and the recipe ideas were much better than I expected them to be so we now keep some in the freezer. We’ve also tested Aveno baby lotion and use that all the time now. It smells incredible.

I enjoy all Baby related product tests and would love to try out a new carrier for my baby or a new bed for my ds. Personally a dyson hairdryer would be amazing.

Thank you so much to the mumsnet team, every time we’ve had a product to test it’s been exciting and the team have always been fab at communicating with us.

I got a copper stone pan for christmas and it was amazing. Would love to test some exercise equipment to lose weight ready for my 2019 wedding :)

would love to test baking stand mixers, sewing machines or make up foundations

I'm looking forward to trying out some of those new 'smart home' products such as lighting - hoping they will help me out, alexa sounds like a lovely lady? ;)

Would,love to test the Dyson hairdryer. Having a big mop of hair that takes ages to dry would,like to see if it’s as good as the hand dryers in public loo’s!

I would love to test the dyson hairdryer of any beauty products :)
