In the cold winter months, life can be hard. People start to wear entirely too many clothes, adopt the expressions of particularly miserable trouts and go about their business mumbling about the ﾑbloody weather' all the time. Fact: winter makes people miserable.

Picture the same people six months later, grinning as they saunter down the street in board shorts and flip-flops. People just seem to like the summer better.

So how do you get through another miserable winter without slipping into a miserable malaise? Well, you could take three holidays a year. Or, you could invest considerably less money in our small and portable Light Therapy Pad.

The Pad works by addressing the problems related to Seasonally Affected Disorder (or SAD), which is the condition that makes us so damn ratty in the winter.

This small and portable gadget (only 20cm long) can be used anywhere a mains plug is available, and is better than LED versions as it does not create "spotting" in your eyes.
