“Get ready!”

Hi Strands fans. Unfortunately, today I failed to figure out what the theme of "Get ready!" meant.
That's despite quickly finding the word GROOM along the right-hand side. I thought this would refer to weddings, but upon finding no related words, I had to use a clue. This revealed COMB in the top-left corner, and I realized this was about personal grooming and not the toasting of nuptials.
That, at least, made the rest of the puzzle a breeze. I found BRUSH in the top-right corner, and that created a path down the middle that began "in". I was able to extend that to spell the spangram of INTHEMIRROR.
That, in turn, revealed another word in the gap on the right-hand side: PREEN. Another answer was isolated in the bottom-right corner in the form of STYLE.
Two answers were left to find on the left-hand side. BEAUTIFY was in the bottom corner (somewhat annoying, as I'd previously found 'beauty' as what I thought was a decent clue word!), which just left PRIMP above it to complete the puzzle.

“You're putting me on”

Hi Strands fans. I don't think I'd have had any idea what the theme of "You're putting me on" related to, if it weren't for me seeing the word SOMBRERO spelt across the bottom of the board straight away.
That set me up nicely, and I quickly began listing all the types of hat I could think of (I would have tried for the spangram, but I noticed the letter 'H' wasn't anywhere to be seen).
I found BOWLER on the left-hand side above SOMBRERO, with BERET in the top right. I then spotted FEDORA to its left, with BEANIE in the corner.
With that, I'd cleared enough space to finally see the spangram: TOPGEAR, written across the board from left to right.
Two words were left to find, muddled together on the right side. I found DERBY spelt backwards up the side first, and that just left TOQUE to complete the puzzle.
