High street brands we miss the most in the UK ranked
Buying the latest outfit and taking it home in a snazzy carrier bag was a small joy that made the long queues and crowds bearable. Fast-forward 20 years and the decline of our high street has been inevitable due to the rise of internet shopping and Covid-19. Dozens of banks have shut in recent months, and brands such as Topshop, BHS, Debenhams and Woolworths are now a thing of the past. We all hold nostalgia around what we once loved about our high streets, and now, data has analysed the shops us Brits miss the most. Experts at Liquidation Centre analysed search data revealing the top-searched brands. Top 10 high street brands shoppers want back 1. Debenhams 2. Dorothy Perkins 3. Toys R Us 4. Cath Kidson 5, Thorntons 6, Mothercare 7. BHS 8. Woolworths 9. Miss Selfridge 10. Blockbuster According to the data, it appears that Debenhams is the retailer that most consumers want to see back on their high streets, with a huge 499,000 average monthly online searches. UK High Street Shops That No Longer Exist Boohoo bought the brand and its website in 2021, but didn't buy its high street stores, which eventually closed down. Fans of the brand may be pleased to hear that Boohoo has changed its name to Debenhams, reviving the popular 247-year-old brand. Unfortunately though, physical stores are not expected to return. Could the UK high street ever make a comeback? Sarah Fleming, spokesperson at NerdWallet UK, said: "The UK's retail sector has been hit hard over recent years. Recommended Reading: "The businesses on the high street that will succeed, will be investing in growing their online brand presence across the 'bricks and clicks' online search landscape - the ones that invest in PR, Brand, AI optimisation and social media. "It's why we're seeing such a resurgence in businesses capitalising on Tiktok trends: from M&S's viral launch of the strawberries and cream sandwich that launched in tandem with Wimbledon; to Tesco following suit and releasing a birthday cake sandwich after seeing the success M&S garnered online. "To survive, businesses need to think creatively, about how they grow their businesses away from the physical world and integrate with the online one to stay afloat."

'Comfortable' 4 seater garden set drops from £139 to £65 but sale ends soon
'Beautiful. Sturdy and comfortable than suitable for a smaller space.' Dunelm's huge clearance sale will soon be coming to an end, which has seen thousands of must-have products get their price tags slashed up to 50 per cent. Those who have had their eye on something will need to be fast as the event is set to finish at midnight on August 18. For shoppers looking to upgrade their garden furniture to provide comfortable seating for friends and family, Dunelm has a variety of popular sets available both in and out of the sale. However, for those wanting to save a bit of money, we have found the perfect set. The Dunelm 4 Seater Garden Dining Set usually retails for £139, but shoppers can now snatch it up for £69.50. This set comes with everything a household could need, including four chairs, a table and a parasol to stick in the middle so families can enjoy a meal without the sun's glare. Crafted to ensure full flexibility for your outdoor space, this garden dining set consists of metal furniture that will withstand various weather conditions, including the wind and rain. However, for times of the year when it is too cold and gloomy to be outside, Dunelm recommends using a cover to further protect the furniture so it can be used for many years to come. Along with its sturdy design, many shoppers have praised the chairs for being comfortable to sit in, which is a must for making the most of the warm, summer weather. Perfect for a warm coffee in the morning with a good book or dinner and drinks with loved ones, this dining set provides shoppers with more than enough space to entertain and ensure a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Alternatively, for those wanting to add a pop of colour to their homes, Argos has dropped the price of Habitat Cali 4 Seater Metal Patio Set in yellow. Normally retailing for £150, shoppers can now buy it for £100.50 in the clearance sale. This set includes a table, two single seats and a double sofa. For those looking for something smaller, Amazon has reduced the price of the URBNLIVING 3pc Outdoor Garden Furniture Set. Now £69.99 (RRP £89.99), this rattan set consists of two chairs with cushions for added comfort as well as a table. Back to Dunelm's four seater garden set, many shoppers have praised it for how comfortable and stylish its design is. However, there were mixed opinions on how easy the set is to assemble. One satisfied shopper said: "An excellent table chairs and parasol set. Found it very easy to erect and getting it at a discount price bonus. Staff where very helpful and Dunelm delivery were great can't say enough about the whole experience brilliant. Would give it more than five stars." While another five-star reviewer added: "Garden set absolutely beautiful looks lovely in the garden. It was easy to assemble." However, one shopper grumbled: "Lovely colour (grey). Putting the chairs together WILL test your patience and I have plenty patience for any flat pack!! OK for the sale price." While another customer commented: "Lovely patio set for the money. Hard to attach stretcher on the back of the chair without strong help is the only fault." As a few people noted about struggling to assemble the chairs, Dunelm has since added an instruction video to its website to help make the process easier. This can be found with the product images. On the flip side, a top reviewer praised: "Beautiful. Sturdy and comfortable than suitable for a smaller space." While a sixth customer said: "Very stylish, light and practical. Seats are comfortable for prolonged seating time. Easy wipe/dry. Excellent value for money." There isn't much time left to get the Dunelm 4 Seater Garden Dining Set for half price.

Jacket worth £130 that is 'like wearing a sleeping bag' under £40 at Debenhams
Summer won't last forever, so take advantage of this Debenhams deal while it's available. With multiple hot spells this year, we'd be forgiven for thinking that summer will last forever. However, as the season draws to a close, autumn isn't too far away. That means it's almost time to begin thinking about wrapping up a bit warmer when outdoors, so there's no harm in looking for any deals that might help save some money ahead of the new season. This is where Debenhams' massive sale has come in handy, offering up to 70 percent off its fashion product category, which includes the popular Regatta 'Elender' Longline Puffer Jacket that is selling fast. Currently described as "popular" on the retailer's website, it can be bought for just £39, although it is worth a staggering £130, meaning shoppers are saving a mammoth £91 in total off the RRP. When the cold winds and rain eventually head our way in the coming months, this long-line jacket offers protection from the elements thanks to its premium insulation filling and waterproof coating. Regatta 'Elender' Puffer Jacket £130 £39 Debenhams Buy here Product Description Meanwhile, its long-length, snuggly hood and collar helps to keep the wearer fully shielded during the colder weather, with some reviews saying that it is so comfy it is "like wearing a sleeping bag." It's finished with inner lycra cuffs, two handy lower pockets with concealed zips and a full zip fastening along the front. Owing to its popularity, the Regatta Jacket is fast selling out in multiple colours, although the cream and black options still have quite a few sizes from an eight to 20 left in stock, although this does depend which one you buy. Ahead of the colder season, there are a few alternatives worth checking out to be prepared, such as the £65 Black Shower Resistant Padded Hooded Coat from Next that offers a short option. M&S might be a good place to check for some deals as well, with the Puffect II Hooded Padded Coat, exclusively available online, now on offer from £133, down from its regular £190.

Meanwhile, the 'Elender' Jacket has rave reviews on the Regatta website, averaging an impressive 4.8 rating from shoppers who say that it is "totally waterproof" and "so warm and toasty." One five-star review read: "Amazing coat it's like wearing a sleeping bag. Finally a coat that keeps me warm on the school run. Huge pockets to keep all your stuff in. Lovely colour." Another shopper echoed: "Lovely warm coat. Like wearing a sleeping bag. Great on cold days." Someone else added: "Excellent long coat, perfect for the cold weather, totally waterproof." Fashion deal of the week We might not want to admit it, but summer will soon be coming to an end. That means getting our wardrobe ready for the autumn season, and one affordable jumper from Next is already proving to be quite a hit with fashion fans who say that it has been "beautifully made." The firm is currently offering its Blue Stripe Layered Long Sleeve Collared Gold Detailed Button Jumper with Wool and 100 percent Cotton Shirt for £1.50 in its clearance sale. Described as 'effortlessly stylish', this blue striped number boasts a chic collared shirt underlay and a cosy 'soft touch' knit. The design also includes elegant gold-tone buttons on the shoulder and a neat collar, plus it's easy to care for being machine washable. Available in an array of colours and patterns, it can be bought in regular and petite sizes through X-Small to X-Large, though certain sizes are beginning to sell out. One satisfied customer shared: "I purchased this lovely shirt and jumper combination for a video interview, and I was really pleased with how it looked. "The bright white, soft cotton collar gives it a smart appearance and the jumper is made from a beautifully soft wool." The Blue Stripe Layered Jumper with Wool and Cotton Shirt is available for purchase from Next at a price of £19.50. While it doesn't have many negative reviews, one shopper left it four stars, writing: "Coat is longer than I expected. I'm 5'4" tall but helps that I can unzip it at the bottom up to my knees, so not a problem. It's lovely and warm. The hood is a nice size as some people have said it was too small. Ideal for me." However, someone else impressed with the jacket said: "My favourite coat, nicknamed the duvet coat now as it's so warm and toasty! I wear it everywhere I can! The length is so nice and I'm tall! The hood is a good size not too big, the colour is lovely! Defiantly recommend!!"
