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.
Your support makes all the difference.Coffee machines from Keurig, American department stores such as Macy's and novelty and seasonal candle maker Yankee Candle were among the most popular topics in last week's Google Insights trends in the category of Home & Garden.
Coffee machines from Keurig came top of this week's Google home trends. The American company, which sells a variety of coffee machines for work and home for upwards of $100, is currently guaranteeing delivery on time for Christmas. Keurig coffee machines are available to buy online or from retail outlets such as Staples and Breville throughout the United States and Canada.
American department stores Macy's, Home Depot, Lowes, HH Gregg and Garden Ridge were also popular search terms. As well as being a popular department store, Macy's is perhaps equally as well known for its annual Thanksgiving parade in New York. The parade features live music, floats and high school bands; this year's event featured Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue.
Outside of the US, internet users in the United Kingdom, Canada, France and Germany were searching for "Dyson." The brand, perhaps best known for its bagless vacuum cleaners, has released a series on innovative home appliances over the past year including the Airblade hand drying appliance, which won two awards from the Australian Facility Management Association, and the bladeless fan.
The tenth most popular search term, "Yankee Candle," relates to American firm the Yankee Candle Company which manufacturers scented, themed and seasonal novelty candles. The candles are available to buy in the United Kingdom, France and Germany at http://www.yankeecandle.co.uk, http://www.yankeecandlefrance.com/ and http://www.yankeecandlegermany.com/.
