\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Home decor is a hot topic already on many <\/span>social media<\/span><\/a> sites, and boucl\u00e9 (pronounced \u201cboo-clay\u201d) pillows are what\u2019s popping right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These pillows are made from a fabric which is a textured, curly or looped fabric, typically crafted from wool, cotton or synthetic fibres. They also have a distinctive, bumpy surface that adds a cosy, laid-back feel to any room.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to research from <\/span>Exploding Topics<\/span><\/a>, boucl\u00e9 pillows have been heavily featured on <\/span>TikTok<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a> posts.

2. Shilajit gummies<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Not everyone has given up on their New Year\u2019s Resolution of getting healthier. And for many shoppers, shilajit gummies have been added to their diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Put simply, these are chewable supplements made from shilajit \u2014 a mineral-rich, sticky substance found in the Himalayas and other mountain ranges. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, shilajit is believed to offer several health benefits due to its high content of fulvic acid, minerals and other bioactive compounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Unscented\/plastic-free baby wipes<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The sunnier weather equals more days out, and for parents with young children, baby wipes are a necessity to take care of any unexpected messes or accidents. Right now, baby wipes are making the rounds on Amazon\u2019s <\/span>trending products page<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, unscented and plastic-free baby wipes are getting a lot of attention, suggesting that more parents are looking for gentle, eco-friendly options that are kind to children\u2019s skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

With this, dropshipping businesses should leverage <\/span>search engine optimisation (SEO)<\/span><\/a> through specific search terms (e.g. \u201cbest baby wipes for sensitive skin\u201d, \u201cfragrance-free baby wipes\u201d, or \u201cplastic-free baby wipes\u201d) to increase visibility and boost organic traffic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, emphasising the product\u2019s gentle formula and eco-friendly materials in product descriptions and social media captions can help attract health-conscious and environmentally-aware parents looking for safe options for their little ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

4. Synthetic engine oil<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

With more outings planned, many people want to make sure their car is in top shape to handle the extra miles without any hiccups. And right now, synthetic engine oil is the answer for most shoppers on <\/span>eBay<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Synthetic oil is a man-made oil that helps to keep a car\u2019s engine running smoothly and protected. Synthetic oil has become a popular choice for drivers primarily because it handles extreme temperatures (both hot and cold), lasts longer between oil changes and resists sludge and buildup better than conventional oils.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider promoting the product on social media, such as by sharing informative video content showing how it protects car engines, and summer car care tips that show synthetic oil as a must-have for long drives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that synthetic oil may be classified as hazardous material. Therefore, you\u2019ll need to comply with shipping regulations, use proper labelling and packaging (e.g. UN-approved containers), and follow courier restrictions. The supplier you use will also need to meet UK safety and environmental standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

5. Whey protein powder<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Beach body season is in, and for those looking to improve their physique for the summer, this goes beyond just regular diet and exercise. After all, the UK\u2019s protein market was valued at <\/span>$3.1 billion in 2024<\/span><\/a>, and is expected to reach $5.2 billion by 2032.<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, whey protein powder\u00a0 \u2014 a supplement made from the liquid left over when milk is turned into cheese\u00a0 \u2014 has become a popular dietary supplement among Brits. Most products contain all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source for muscle recovery and overall fitness goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on our keyword research, we found that \u201cwhey isolate protein powder\u201d had a search volume of 3,800 on Amazon, with an increasing trend of +26%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Paddling pools<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing quite says the beginning of summer like pulling the paddling pool out of the garage. Or, if the old paddling pool just can\u2019t quite hack it anymore, it\u2019s the perfect time to get a fresh one for all those summer back garden splashes.<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems many Brits have the same idea to prepare for the upcoming holidays. Amazon\u2019s trending product page shows a spike in paddling pool sales, as families apparently look to upgrade for those long, sunny days ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n
