With the UK set to hit temperatures upwards of 30°C this coming week, many of us are looking for ways to keep cool, calm and collected whilst we work.

A quick search will return a bunch of great gadgets that promise to help you survive the office sauna. From fancy fans to air conditioning units, options are plentiful and many of them, like the Dyson Hot+Cool Jet Focus Fan, are certainly very cool.

But at £399 a pop, they are also very expensive. Let’s be honest, that's a lot of money for six days of British summer.
