Last updated: 20 April 2026

By Stiv · Design, technology and personal finance

We will be honest: a few of us at CoolCuration got back into LEGO during lockdown and never really stopped. What started as a mindful distraction from doomscrolling turned into a proper hobby, and it turns out we are not alone. LEGO sets for adults are booming in 2026, with sets designed for grown-ups now making up over 15% of the entire range. These are not toys. They are weekend projects, stress relievers, and display pieces that genuinely look good in your living room. Here are six sets we have built, loved, or have on our wishlists right now.

If you’ve ever visited Charleston Farmhouse near Lewes, you’ll know the vibe is not “generic gift shop”. It’s full-on Bloomsbury energy. Painted walls, pattern on pattern, and that sense that art and daily life should be the same thing. So when WoodyAndSpud ceramic dogs are the best sellers there, it’s not a random fluke. They just fit.

What billionaire perfume actually smells like is one of the internet's most persistent late-night search queries. So we looked into it. The honest answer? Nobody really knows. There are no confirmed endorsements, no verified interviews, and no "signature scent" launches from the world's richest people. However, that hasn't stopped millions of us from wondering. In this post, we break down what we do know, what we can reasonably guess, and why a parody fragrance might be the closest anyone gets to smelling like a billionaire.

Cool Factor: 4/5

This LastSwab review has been a long time coming. At CoolCuration we're big fans of anything that shrinks our carbon footprint, and a reusable cotton bud that replaces up to 1,000 disposable swabs sounded almost too good to be true. Spoiler: it's not. The LastSwab by Danish brand LastObject is one of those quietly brilliant inventions that makes you wonder why we ever settled for the single-use version. Here's how it holds up after extended use.
