Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The Wrath of Grapes, pounds 7.99
Although the sub-title of this pocket-sized gem is The Hangover Companion, it is not a guide to how get one - after all, we all know how that's done. Instead, it's a step-by-step guide to avoiding them without having to give up drink. And should a heavy head and heaving stomach slip through the net, there is a whole chapter devoted to dealing with your hangover. First off is correct identification: have you landed yourself with a "monster maker" or a "time traveller" - or is it a "slow burner"? The final chapter is a spectacular collection of hangover cures including the legendary Hair of the Dog and the alarming Hangman's Blood.

The Winter Chills & Misery Kit, pounds 25+pounds 6p&p
Once again pockets across the country are stuffed with snotty loo paper, and offices are full of people who should be at home, tucked up in bed. The best way to ensure that ailing workers stay at home with their germs, is to send them one of the Gluttonous Gardener's wonderful mini hampers. The Winter Chills and Misery Kit is of course the most appropriate. The crate contains a bottle of whisky, a couple of lemons, cloves, cinnamon, a jar of honey and a glass from which to glug it.
