'Perfect' travel mug that 'keeps ice cold for hours' now 30% off
On hot summer days, nothing is quite as refreshing as an ice cold drink. But when the temperatures are really soaring, it can feel like ice melts in an instant and a once-cold drink becomes lukewarm and horrible in no time at all.
That's where a quality insulated tumbler comes in - they can help keep drinks nice and cold for hours, meaning buyers can have a refreshing icy beverage to sip on throughout the day with no risk of discovering a nasty room-temperature surprise.
Now, shoppers on the hunt for a tumbler that keeps drinks deliciously cold can get a 30oz Tumbler with Handle for £14.41 on Amazon, down 30% from £20.59. Complete with a handle and straw, the large cup keeps drinks nice and cold - perfect for a crisp soda, icy cold squash or refreshing water.
Crafted from stainless steel, the tumbler is coated in a colourful powder that makes it easy to spot from across a room. It has a screw-on lid to prevent spills, and a straw for easy sipping. Plus, the slim base allows it to fit into most cup holders - perfect for long drives.
If this style isn't calling out to shoppers, they could try the Ninja Thirsti 700 ml Travel Bottle for £34.99 from Ninja. This one promises to keep cold drinks cool for up to 24 hours, and hot drinks warm for up to 12 hours, and purports to keep ice frozen for up to two days.
Alternatively, there's the viral Stanley Quencher, which comes in a 0.89L capacity for £40 direct from Stanley. Available in a range of eye-catching colours, this one also has a straw and screw-on lid and double-wall vacuum insulation for cool drinks all the time.
However, shoppers are loving the Amazon deal on the cooling tumbler. One buyer said: "A great product and well worth the money, I have started drinking a lot more water due to my weight loss programme and this saves me regular trips to the sink to the fill my glass up also, if I put ice in it, it will keep the water cool for a good few hours."
Another added: "Great cup. Keeps my drink cold for hours. No spillages."
A third said: "So pleased with this item. It's leak proof, and keeps drinks very hot...I burnt my tongue still after 1.5hrs! Keeps cold drinks cold. Very impressed and a fraction of the price of the name brands."
However, some weren't as impressed, including one shopper who wrote: "Decent mug initially, I bought 3 however they are only right handed sip and one has just locked its lid on the cup and it's not budging no matter what so it's having to go in the bin. Now need to keep an eye on the other 2 in case they also do this."
Another said: "We have had this mug for about a month wash it and clean it regularly, and there is mold, forming around the lid where it seals off the liquid."

Dunelm shoppers rave over 'attractive' ottoman dubbed a 'brilliant storage solution'
'Very good quality and a gorgeous colour.' Tidying up the house can sometimes be a frustrating job, especially if you have a lot of items but a limited amount of storage space. For those who want to keep their home clutter free but don't want to ruin the aesthetic of their home with random boxes, Dunelm has just the solution. Renowned for their stylish yet practical homeware selection, Dunelm has a wide range of ottomans on their website that can be used for a variety of needs. As well as being a convenient place to store your household items or children's toys, these ottomans can also be used as an extra place to sit. One stunning piece we found on the Dunelm website is the Velvet Large Round Ottoman in a striking pacific blue colourway. Retailing for £35, shoppers have praised this piece of furniture for its sturdy build and versatility of use. Able to assemble 'in seconds', this velvet ottoman will become a stylish addition to your home that can seamlessly hide clutter, shoes, hair accessories and toys to provide a more peaceful living environment, reports Birmingham Live. On top of storing away clutter, the ottoman can be used as an additional seat, side table or foot rest depending on which room of the house shoppers decide to place it in. With dimensions of H 38cm x W 60cm x D 60cm, it can provide ample storage without taking up too much of the room. With no tools required to set up the ottoman, this budget friendly piece of furniture may just be the stylish storage solution many shoppers have been looking for. Velvet Large Round Ottoman £35 Dunelm Buy Now Product Description For those looking for something a bit wider that can be elegantly placed at the end of the bed, Dunelm is also selling the Velvet Rectangular Ottoman for £32. Available in bottle green, cream, grey and luxy navy, the ottoman boasts dimensions of H 38cm x W 76cm x D 38cm.

Featuring 20mm thickness foam, this practical storage box is comfortable to sit on or rest your feet against. Back to Dunelm's round ottoman, shoppers have awarded it an impressive 4.6 star rating, with one shopper admitting to buying two when it was down in the sale. A delighted five-star reviewer said: "Brilliant storage solution for toys. Looks very smart and really handy as a footstool. Very sturdy as well." While another shopper left a mixed review, writing: "I've given this ottoman four stars; I like the size (excellent for storage of things that get in the way ie hairdryer, tongs etc). I also like the double purpose of this item; storage and stool, if needed. "I'm not so keen on the fabric. It's not a true 'velvet' and that spoils it a little for me; I would have paid much more for true velvet & I would have been happy to do so, however, overall this is a useful addition to my bedroom and the price cannot be beaten." A third customer wasn't happy with the size, writing: "Very sturdy, comfy and attractive, easy to assemble, but decided it was too large for our lounge." Despite this, a top reviewer also commented: "Bought two ottomans in the sale, lovely quality, excellent value for money and ideal for storage, a side table and a foot stool, great purchase." While another praised: "Very surprised what a lovely pouffe this is for the price. Very good quality and a gorgeous colour." To buy the Velvet Large Round Ottoman, click HERE.

I'm obsessed with the £3.99 Lidl middle aisle holiday buy that is taking over hotel pools this summer
DIP IN I'm obsessed with the £3.99 Lidl middle aisle holiday buy that is taking over hotel pools this summer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE'S a trend sweeping family hotel pools this summer - and no, I'm not talking about sun lounger hogging. At my TUI Village hotel in Turkey last week, I spotted more than a hundred 'water hammocks' that were identical to the one I bought from the Lidl middle aisle in June. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Lidl's £3.99 middle aisle buy is the holiday accessory of the summer Credit: Lidl The pool accessory works like a lilo, with inflatable tubes at each end and a mesh in the middle where your body lies. On a trip to Spain last month, the story was the same - the water hammock reigned supreme at the hotel pool. A straw poll of parents lounging by the pool in Turkey showed that the majority of them also picked theirs up for £3.99 from Lidl - the Blue Crivit Water Hammock. However, a decent proportion also bought theirs from Amazon, where a two-pack in pink and blue will set you back £15.99, or alternatively, John Lewis is selling a chic palm print version for £9.60. I only bought one in the Lidl flash sale, but I'll be stocking up on more next year because they make the perfect foreign holiday lilo. Why? Because the fact that most of it's mesh - not bulky plastic - means that it's super lightweight and packs into a tiny space in the suitcase. Gone are the days when I reluctantly shell out a fortune abroad, because I didn't have the space or kg allowance to take an inflatable on the plane with me. I could easily take three in a suitcase and barely notice them in the bag. The minimal inflatable space also means a: far less time to blow up, b: it takes up a lot less space in the hotel room and is easy to transport to and from the pool or beach, and c: there is less surface space for punctures. Speaking of travel hacks, 2025 was also the year that I finally tried out packing cubes, and I can't believe it took me so long. On a 14-day multi-stop trip to South Africa in April, there was no way I could do my usual unpack-the-moment-I-check-in routine, given that we were staying in eight different places. So I bought a few sets of 12 for £9 from Amazon, and everything was painstakingly divided up into different cubes - one for my son's T-shirts, one for shorts, one for my sweaters... and so on. 2 The water hammock is great for family holidays, because it's much smaller and lighter than your average pool lilo Credit: Getty It made the experience so much simpler, because everything was easy to find within 3 seconds of opening up the suitcase - with no rifling around. Since then, I've reverted to emptying the bag as soon as I arrive if it's a one-stop holiday, but anything with more than two locations or less than three nights will have me reaching for the packing cubes from now on.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE'S nothing worse than getting through a load of laundry to find half your items now need ironing.

You can even set the gadget to continuous steam output via a sliding switch for added ease. Expert opinion And as well as saving you time, laundy experts recommend steamers to help protect your fabrics too. "Steamers are generally safer for a wide range of fabrics," Ava Wilson, Chief Editor at Unclutterer, told Ideal Home. Wake up to a weed-free lawn for months thanks to Aldi's £10 gadget that pulls them out without bending or kneeling down "They are particularly recommended for delicate materials like silk, wool, and cashmere, as they don't apply direct heat or pressure." And the Silvercrest buy is available at a fraction of the price of other versions. The Philips Steam & Go Plus Handheld Clothes Steamer is available for £58.82 from Amazon. Amazon also stocks the Rolipo Clothes Steamer for just £35.87 and the Jack & Rose Travel Steamer for £51.24. Meanwhile, the Russell Hobbs Steam Genie is available for £27.66 from Amazon.

Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock. More middle aisle gadgets The handheld steamer is one of many gadget deals hitting the middle aisle this week. And Lidl shoppers can pick up another garment buy that will extend the life of their favourite wardrobe items. A handy electric gadget is hitting the Lidl middle aisle for a fraction of the price of Screwfix.
