B&M shoppers are wishing they knew about 'genius' £2 item sooner
Holidaymakers swear by the 'brilliant' £2 B&M item that's so 'genius' people are annoyed they didn't think of it first
Most sunseekers will agree that a relaxing holiday is just as much about the hotel as it is about the destination. Beautiful sandy beaches often feature high on the checklist, but so does a nice hotel room.
Relaxing on your balcony after a day at the beach is pure bliss. For many holidaymakers, it's the perfect time to enjoy a glass of wine or a similar tipple. Well, one B&M shopper has found a £2 hack that made her recent hotel stay that much better, and she amazed social media users after sharing the "genius" tip online.
Posting on TikTok, blogger Amy Hobbs @amyhobbsss impressed thousands of viewers with her idea. "Holiday hack: bring a cheap plastic wine glass with you (£2 from B&M) so you can enjoy a crisp rosé on the balcony not in a mug from the room," she wrote.
In her video, Amy showcased B&M's £2 wine glass, and she enjoyed a glass of rosé as she sat on her balcony, taking in the view. Clearly impressed by her results, her caption said: "Wish someone told me to do this sooner!"
Social media users echoed this sentiment, and they couldn't believe they'd not thought of the idea before. While some commenters suggested asking the bar for a glass and ice, Amy claimed she'd asked the staff, but they declined to give her a glass.
Praising the idea, a viewer replied: "Omg this is genius!" A second social media user said: "Brilliant idea." Another fan commented: "Ok this is so simple that I'm actually annoyed that I hadn't thought of it. Genius!! Added to holiday list! Thank you!"
Someone else shared: "I always do this." A different viewer said they use a folding wine glass from Asda. Sharing another recommendation, a holidaymaker added: "I take mines and fancy straws to enjoy a cocktail."
Elsewhere, a fan of the idea tagged a friend, writing: "Should decorate them one night before we go and make our playlist." Amy replied: "This sounds like a dream!"
Most retailers offer a selection of drinkware for shoppers keen to use the trick. B&M's website advertises a Simply Summer Colour Wine Glass 4pk—Blue, which is currently on offer for £1.25.
Other options include a Palm House Embossed Wine Glass - Green for £2 or a Scallop Wine Glass - Pink for £3. There's also a £2 Crackle Wine Glass, which is likely the glass Amy showcased in her video. B&M shoppers can locate their nearest store here.

AMY Childs has sparked concern after revealing her latest home renovation plans. It comes off the back of a tough week for the TOWIE star, who revealed her wedding to fiance Billy Delbosq had been cancelled - and the reason why. 6 Amy Childs has sparked concern among her fans after posting a home renovation update Credit: Getty 6 She captured her partner, 42, and eight year old daughter Polly exploring her new outdoor pool Credit: TikTok 6 Fans suggested the swim space was 'too deep' and posed a threat to her four kids Credit: TikTok Mum of four Amy, 34, has also been fighting the comments on body-shamers and confessed the real reason she has lost so much weight. Yet now she has been bombarded with comments from Instagram followers fearing for her security. It came as she posted a video of her outdoor swimming pool being created in the grounds of her stunning Essex home. Billy, 42, and her eldest daughter Polly, eight, could be seen carefully clambering down the concrete levels as they explored the space, which is yet to be filled with water. In her caption, the ITVBe star wrote: "Moments like this is everything. "We are counting down the days. Thank you for making our dream turn into a reality." Yet some were more concerned about the apparent depth of the pool - and this posing a threat for her offspring. One took to the comments to bluntly write: "No need be so deep with 3 kids." A second put: "Please get security around it like a gated area etc x" 'Gutted' Amy Childs 'cancels wedding to Billy Delbosq' after fan backlash over extreme weight loss A third quizzed: "That pool looks so deep? It's taller then Billy, why so deep? Will be lovely for you all in summer months, asl ong as you are happy, is what matters." Another then wrote: "I wouldn't have a pool with young kids." Yet others were quick to share in her happiness, and one wrote: "Living the absolute dream." A second posted: "Going to be amazing Amy." Who is Amy Childs? Amy Childs was born June 7, 1990, and is a reality star, model, businesswoman and fashion designer. She shot to fame in 2010 by appearing in ITV2's reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex. She became known for her ditsy, likeable personality and briefly dated fellow cast member Kirk Norcoss. A particularly memorable scene involved her "vajazzling" Sam Faiers in a barbie pink-coloured salon. She left the show in 2011 and took part in Celebrity Big Brother, finishing fourth. She also took part in a fly-on-the-wall documentary, It's All About Amy on Channel 5. Two years later she competed in Channel 4's daredevil show The Jump and was the second person to be eliminated. She is now said to be worth around £5million through her fashion and beauty products. WEDDING WOE Amy pushed back her plans to get married due to "last minute changes", it was revealed this week. She is said to have been left "gutted" at the recent turn of events. Sources told Closer Magazine: "Amy has had to cancel her wedding and she's absolutely gutted. "There was going to be a show around it, following the run-up to their big day, but they've had to make some last-minute changes based on what's going on in their lives." The news came just weeks after The Sun previously reported how her "perfect" wedding plans were under threat. Amy shares two of her four children with Billy, who she first met in 2000. She referred to him as her "Prince Charming" after they set eyes on each other during lockdown. In 2023, the pair welcomed twins, Amelia and Billy, into the world after a "long and exhausting" labour - yet their marriage plans have taken a back seat. HUGE CONCERN Over the last few months, the reality star's shrinking frame has also caused some concern amongst fans. In a bid to put rumours of "fat jabs" to bed, Amy has finally opened up about her extreme weight loss, which has seen her shed two stone. Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: "People don't know what is going on behind closed doors. 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. 'She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack. 'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. 'There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress." Addressing fans who had speculated she had used medication to shed the pounds she said: 'I just want to be clear that, as I've said before, I'm not using weight-loss injections." 6 Amy also clappe back at body shamers this weekend as she revealed the real reason for her weight loss Credit: TikTok 6 The 34-year-old denied using weight loss jabs Credit: Instagram

Daredevil dressed as wizard ‘lucky to be alive' after SOMERSAULTING down hill as he warns cheese chasing is ‘dangerous'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A CHEESE chasing daredevil is flipping lucky to be alive after taking a brutal tumble down a steep hill. Heart stopping footage showing Ty Loerzer Fitzjones, 22, flying into the air and flipping into a somersault has been viewed more than 100 million times. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Ty only sustained minor injuries during the dramatic fall Credit: Dan Charity 8 Video shows Ty flipping his way down the hill at break-neck speeds Credit: Dan Charity 8 Ty was knocked out cold during his tumble Credit: Dan Charity Miraculously Ty walked away from the horror tumble with only cuts and bruises and was knocking back a pint in the pub hours later. Doctors were left astonished that he survived the fall without breaking any bones, or worse. He should have done it more Caerphilly but escaped with his em-mental health intact. Crackers music student Ty has been dubbed The Cheese Wizard and is being mobbed by stunned fans. Footage of his fall is quickly becoming a global sensation on TikTok and YouTube. Ty visited the cheese rolling event in Gloucestershire with pals last Monday, dressed in a long black cape and pointy hat. From Kilburn, London, Ty joined thousands of visitors from around the world who gather every year. He was determined to break the course record for the fastest descent in pursuit of a 7lb wheel of Double Gloucester. At the event, which dates back to 1826, fearless contestants aim to beat the cheese to the bottom of Cooper's Hill, even though it travels at speeds of up to 100km an hour down the 180m slope. Ty said: 'Years ago, growing up in France, I saw a Netflix documentary about cheese rolling and thought it looked like great fun. 'It was a glorious day, there was a really nice friendly atmosphere even though we had to wait an hour for The Cheese Master to start the race. 'I didn't have a plan but my girlfriend Lola sewed a chinstrap on my hat so I wouldn't lose it, and held on to my glasses so I wouldn't break them, and I just went barrelling off down the hill. 'I started running, thinking 'This is easy, I'm beating everybody' but then I lost my footing and suddenly there was a big drop, and that's when I thought 'Oh dear, this is not what I planned.' 'The next thing I remember is waking up in hospital three hours later in a compression suit and everything was a bit fuzzy.' 8 The clip of Ty's fall has been viewed millions of times on social media Credit: Dan Charity 8 Ty was rushed to hospital after the fall Credit: Dan Charity 8 After waking up in the hospital Ty headed to the pub Credit: Dan Charity When he came round after three hours, Ty was given a CAT scan and a number of cognitive tests. Astonishingly there was no sign of brain trauma, and he hadn't even fractured any bones. He was discharged without pain medication and headed to a nearby boozer where he was mobbed by tourists who witnessed his fall and were stunned to see him up and about. Ty commented: 'I've got a massive bruise on the top of my skull, cuts and scratches all down my arms and back, and I ache all over but I'm very grateful to still be here. 'I can laugh about the whole kerfuffle but it wasn't funny for my friends watching or my parents when they got the frightening phone call saying I was unconscious in the back of an ambulance. 'It's my first near death experience and it doesn't feel real yet. 'I definitely would not do cheese rolling again, I'm not going to push my luck. 'I wouldn't let anyone I love do it either, it's really dangerous and people are injured every year - it's not safe. 'It's very weird to think hundreds of millions of people around the world have watched me fall over, but I'm not embarrassed - I survived relatively unharmed.' 8 Ty escaped with only a few cuts and bruises Credit: Dan Charity

MASH cast now – Emmy Award winning star to one woman show
It was announced this week that Loretta Swit, who was best known for her work on M*A*S*H, had died at the age of 87, but here we look at where her co-stars are now M*A*S*H first started in 1973 and spanned for a decade and 11 seasons. The iconic show saw plenty of well-known faces rise to fame, being part of the series. The show was a comedy-drama which followed the staff at the United States Army Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War which was between 1950 to 1953. The programme drew audiences across the world, with the final episode in 1983 reportedly bringing in an audience of more than 125 million viewers. The main cast all reunited back in January 2024 as they got together for a two hour reunion episode where they reminisced on the show. Here's what the original cast are doing now. Loretta Swit Loretta Swit played the role of 'Hot Lips' Major Margaret Houlihan and appeared in every episode including the pilot and went on to star in Whoops Apocalypse, S. O. She went on to win two Emmys throughout her career as well as landing role in The Love Boat and Cagney & Lacey throughout the 1980s. Aside from this, Loretta didn't have an acting credit after this, apart from the film Play The Flute in 2019. However, she starred in a one-woman touring stage production of Eleanor: Her Secret Journey as Eleanor Roosevelt in 2013. It was announced on Friday, May 30, 2025, that Loretta had died at the age of 87. Her representative, Harlan Boll, claimed that the New York Police Department stated that the actor died of suspected natural causes. Alan Alda Alan Alda was Captain Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce, who was known as a prankster on the series. Alan's acting career went from strength to strength after M*A*S*H ended. He starred in a number of TV shows like The Blacklist, Horace and Pete, Marriage Story, Bridge of Spies and The Big C. His most recent work includes starring as Dr Arthur Amiot on Ray Donovan and as Solomon Waltzer on The Good Fight. Wayne Rogers Captain 'Trapper' John McIntyre was played by actor Wayne Rogers. However, he was one of the shortest serving actors as he decided to leave after three series. It was reported that he wanted to leave due to appearing as a supporting role rather than a main character. After leaving, Wayne starred in Murder, She Wrote, Once Upon a Murder and House Calls. He died in 2015 when he was 82 after complications from pneumonia. McLean Stevenson McLean Stevenson took on the role of Lt. Col. Henry Blake in M*A*S*H.
