Bobbi Brown and Laneige slashed to under £5 in ‘holiday-ready' deal
Shoppers preparing to jet off on holiday this summer will no doubt be on the hunt for the perfect products to pack in their suitcase. Traditionally, buying individual versions of mini products has proven costly, but Boots latest beauty box saves customers more than £80 on suitcase-ready beauty essentials.
The health and beauty retailer's Get Holiday Ready Bag is filled with glow-enhancing favourites, hydrating heroes, and mood-boosting fragrances - all of this for a fraction of their individual costs. Valued at £124.50, the edit is priced at £32, which means each item averages out at £4.57 apiece.
Whether you're jetting off to a tropical destination or planning the perfect staycation, this selection has all your summer beauty needs covered. Inside shoppers will find seven travel-friendly essentials, boasting cult classics and luxury minis to help you hydrate, shine, and spritz your way through the summer.
Even better, it all comes in a stylish, reusable zip pouch – ideal for keeping items safe whether you're lounging by the pool or relaxing at home. It's the perfect size to store a book, sun lotion, jewellery and more, keeping them protected and together.
The edit includes brands that will impress beauty enthusiasts, such as Milk, Laneige, Bobbi Brown and MAC. Fragrance fans are also catered for with Sol de Janeiro and Floral Street, reports Bristol Live. There's also a shimmering body oil from fan favourite Rituals, which hydrates skin while providing a stunning glow.
In other news, LookFantastic is offering the Summer Heroes Edit for £45, which, considering it's valued at over £150, means a stunning saving of £105 for buyers. The exclusive bundle includes six beauty gems, including four full-sized items from high-end brands such as Sol de Janeiro and ESPA.
Space NK also has an exciting haul, inspired by the viral TikTok trend, 'the everything shower'. The luxury edit of bath, body, and haircare costs £70 and is worth £165, boasting names like Sol de Janeiro, Living Proof and Alpha-H.
The Boots set appears to be one of the most wallet-friendly on the market this month, save for their £29.99 Fresh Faced Favourites edit. And if past editions are anything to go by, it's likely to sell out rather quickly.
However, it's important to note that because these boxes are pre-curated, there's no room for personalisation. This could mean that buyers may find they don't like one or two items, or that some of the contents aren't suitable for their skin type. Therefore, we always recommend checking out the full contents before hitting 'add to basket'.
Here's what's inside the Boots Get Holiday Ready Beauty Bag:.
Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek in Werk 6g.

Why ‘extreme day trips' are the new horrendous holiday trend
Reading the words 'extreme day trip' conjures, for me, the vision of an adrenaline-fuelled excursion somewhere in the UK. You know: skydiving in St Andrew's, say, or bungee-jumping in Bangor; coasteering in Cornwall or paragliding in the Peak District. It turns out I'm woefully behind the times. The term refers to the latest heinous holiday concept – one that I'm convinced may be the single worst trend to ever grace the world of travel. The idea is simple, albeit horrifying: travellers fly to a destination, tick off a jam-packed list of activities, and fly back again, all within the space of a day. It has gained traction on social media, where, for example, the hashtag #extremedaytrip has clocked up thousands of posts on TikTok. A Facebook group called Extreme Day Trips, meanwhile, has attracted more than 327,000 members ready to swap experiences for just how far a person can reasonably fling themselves in a 24-hour period. And then there's a site where community members share their one-day itineraries from the UK, including timings, tips, tricks and prices. Now, the practice has officially gone from fringe to mainstream: tour operator Tui has launched an extreme day trip to Lapland for its winter 2026 programme, departing from 11 UK airports. The 'Search for Santa' itinerary is, for want of a better word, ambitious. Holidaymakers will be served a full English breakfast during the 3h 30m (approx) flight before arriving in Kittila, Finland, around midday. They'll grab snowsuits and boots, head to an 'ice village' to see the ice hotel and ice bar, hop on a sleigh ride pulled by reindeer, switch to a husky-led sled ride, go for a trip on a snowmobile, meet a Lapland local who'll impart stories and legends about the area, engage in some arts and crafts, take a journey through snowy woodland to meet Santa and his elves, and warm up with a hot juice by the campfire before returning to the airport. Oh, and on the plane home, they'll be served Christmas dinner. I'm exhausted just writing it, let alone doing it; God knows when you're supposed to fit in going to the toilet. It's like they took all the elements that make up a brilliant, bucket-list adventure and condensed them down and down until what's left is the vacation equivalent of an undiluted Ribena. It is too strong, too intense – and no, it does not taste good. As an adult, the prospect is headache-inducingly overstimulating. The very notion of subjecting a child to all that in under 12 hours makes me want to lie in a darkened room. Yes, each activity sounds fun in and of itself. But it won't be when suffocatingly stacked atop the others, like too many sardines squished into a single tin. In fact, I'll 'fess up: I've even been on an 'extreme day trip' myself, many years ago, whizzing to Qatar and back in under 24 hours for work. Please believe me when I say it was one of the least pleasurable travel experiences of my life thus far. And then there is, evidently, the climate factor in all this. We know by now that flying is far from green – taking just one long-haul flight accounts for more carbon emissions than individuals in many countries will be responsible for in an entire year. In 2023, aviation accounted for 2.5 per cent of global energy-related CO2 emissions, and the sector is only set to grow: the number of annual flights in Europe is expected to increase by 52 per cent in the next 25 years. Efforts to de-carbonise flights, meanwhile, are moving at a glacial pace – though perhaps that's a poor analogy, given the rapid speed at which glaciers are now melting due to global warming – with little sign of improvement. In fact, planemakers Boeing and Airbus both recently suspended the development of next generation, low emissions airliners – a fact that has further called the promise of 'net zero aviation', already exceedingly sketchy, into question. I stopped flying at the tail-end of 2019 due to the climate crisis. While I don't expect everyone to follow suit, and nor can I swear I'll never get on a plane again, my research and experience over the past five years has taught me one key principle: if you are going to catch a flight, make it count. Taking fewer trips and staying for longer is the sustainable name of the game if we're considering people and planet when arranging our travel plans. Travel with intention, take your time, explore more, spend more – you'll have a better experience personally, and your holiday will be of far greater net benefit to the destination you're visiting. Extreme day trips are the very antithesis of this: in and out, with few of your tourist pounds making it into the hands of locals. Meanwhile, that return flight to Swedish Lapland will have dumped 822kg of CO2 into the atmosphere, according to Atmosfair's carbon calculator – the equivalent of 205 round-trips from London to Paris via the Eurostar. Look, I know we're time-poor – but having a rich experience doesn't come from trying to cram a week's worth of holiday into a single day. It means slowing down enough to appreciate every moment; luxuriating in the sights, sounds and smells; and, yes, leaving enough time in the schedule to occasionally go to the toilet.

'I wanted to spend less time on my smartphone so I ditched it for this classic device'
A woman on TikTok has invented a landline phone that connects to her smartphone and landline via Bluetooth in her attempt to minimise her screen time once and for all We all know Gen Z are unnaturally attached to their smartphones, with doom scrolling and brain rot on the rise, it comes as no surprise that social media has taken over their attention spans. But it seems that a fair few are keen to reverse their phone obsession and decrease their screen time by turning to an old classic. One TikTok user, @CatGPT went to the extent of making a retro rotary landline phone which connected to her smartphone via Bluetooth. As shown in the video, if someone was to call her, the landline phone "actually starts ringing and you can pick it up." The user mentioned in her previous video that she wanted to spend "less time on [her] phone and [have] no phone mornings" and "people went crazy over it" which is why she "decided to make a few [landline phones]". It comes after the now infamous Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay's girlfriend speaks out after his incredible haircut goes viral. She also revealed that if you pressed star on the phone, it would activate Siri, so you don't need to rely on memorising anyone's number. The creator disappointed viewers as by adding that she doesn't "know how long she would be selling them for" because she felt that it was "more like a fun side project than anything else," but urged viewers to "check it out for a limited time" using the link in her bio. In her caption, she confirmed that the retro phone answers FaceTime Audio and WhatsApp calls and, just "like the olden days", you won't know who's calling you. The video received over four million views and over 450,000 likes as well as many comments on how great the invention was. One commented: "Younger generations are fascinated with a simpler time." Another said: "Ship worldwide I BEG YOU." This is not the only example of Gen Z being heavily interested in the nostalgia. The Blackberry phone has seen its own resurgence on TikTok. Its hashtag has 136K posts with creators calling for its return, talking about their memories of their past BlackBerry phones and even finding and rebooting their own old phones. The BlackBerry was released in 1999 and resembled a school calculator, but due to the popularity of smartphones, BlackBerry was discontinued in 2022.

Abandoned UK zoo left eerily quiet with horrifying animal corpses left behind
An explorer who documents his discoveries online has revealed the moment he stepped inside an abandoned UK zoo that has been closed since 2022 - with some surprising discoveries along the way An urban explorer has shared footage of his eerie venture into an abandoned zoo where he found snake skins, animal moults and breeding tanks left behind. Daniel Sims, who goes by the name Bearded Reality online, visited the former Rutland Sanctuary Zoo in Oakham, East Midlands, earlier this month. The zoo has been closed since late 2022 due to rising costs, but Daniel found the site left in "amazing condition". The 36-year-old, from Huddersfield, found the zoo looking practically ready to re-open and host more animals, despite not being open for three years. "The whole site has everything left behind - apart from the animals, of course," Daniel, who shared the footage on TikTok and YouTube, said. "It is still in amazing condition, so it's surprising it just sat left and wasted. The site itself in areas looks a little run-down but has suffered very little damage, so it could easily re-open as another mini zoo or attraction with very little effort. "You can tell the previous owners put a lot of their heart and soul into this project, so it's a shame to see it like this. The rooms in the back were very interesting with all the incubators and breeding tanks left untouched from when the place closed, as well as notes of what animals were held here. "I was super surprised and pleased that all the tanks remained intact and not smashed, as I have been to similar places and seen this and reckon this is because of the place's location and the fact the area has a groundskeeper, which is good.' Inside, Daniel made discoveries including a long snakeskin, which he even touched in the YouTube video, as well as various moults from other animals. Also on the site were various cages and tanks left behind from the previous wildlife occupants. The closure of the zoo was announced on social media back in October 2022 by owners, Joanna and Jeremy. The post reads: "We are heartbroken to announce that we are having to close our doors at this time due to the energy increase crisis that has affected us in such a detrimental way. "We are forever grateful for all the support and love from all our friends, family and visitors towards each of ourselves and our charges. "Most importantly, to reassure everyone, all our animals are safe and still our highest priority to ensure they have a secure and safe full life ahead of them." While some areas of the abandoned site appeared a little worse for wear, with debris littering the ground, the explorer was stunned to find the zoo in good shape. Daniel added: "I was pleased to explore this place and get some photos before inevitably nature takes its course and the place starts to decay fully."
