Save £70 on festival-ready Ninja cool box that keeps things chilled for 5 days
A cool box is the ideal way to keep your food and drinks fresh whilst at a festival, with Ninja's FrostVault promising to chill everything for up to five days – and it's on sale
Festival season is officially upon us and with Glastonbury set to kick off this week, now is your last chance to make sure you've got everything you need. One absolute staple is food and drink, especially with how costly it is to buy both whilst actually at the festival.
However with temperatures continuing to rise a cool box is the only way to make sure your food and drink stays fresh and cold during your entire festival experience. Whilst most coolers last a few hours or maybe a day, the Ninja FrostVault Hard Cooler promises to keep your things chilled for up to five days – just the right amount of time to get you through your festival.
Although it's usually priced at £199.99, it's currently on sale on the Ninja website, slashing it to £129.99, saving you £70 on the 28 litre box, whilst the larger 47 litre box is slashed from £249.99 to £229.99. Both the grey and white colour options are on sale too, so you can pick one that matches your festival aesthetic.
The 28 litre box comfortably fits up to 48 cans (with no ice) or 26 cans with ice inside the main compartment, and has an additional integrated dry storage drawer at the bottom to keep things cool and dry without having to dig through ice. The FrostVault cooler keeps everything at a food safe 4.5 degrees, and retains the ice for up to five days.
The Ninja FrostVault Hard Cooler is even so sturdily built that you can use it as an additional seat whilst you're sitting around your campsite. It's not just festivals and camping it's great for, though; you can take it on picnics or days at the beach, use it as an outdoor fridge whilst hosting in the garden or even take it on road trips to make sure you've always got a cold drink and fresh food.
The main drawback is that it can be heavy to carry once it's filled up. Ninja does also do a wheeled version of the FrostVault for £249.99 for a 28 litre box – although the larger 42 litre box is currently on sale for £199.99, down from £279.99.
You could also pick up the YETI Roadie 32 Wheeled Cool Box for £350, which has free next day delivery on Amazon for Prime members. You can also get the smaller YETI Roadie 15 Cool Box in eight colours for £172.
However Ninja shoppers have been singing the praises of the Ninja FrostVault Hard Cooler. One wrote: 'Brilliant cool box, went camping with it for the weekend and it was still chilled after 3 sunny days!'
Another agreed: 'Nothing to say but awesome piece of kit..never seen anything quite like this..oh so versatile..practical..take anywhere including hotel rooms that don't have a fridge or cooler.'
One did find complaint with the weight, writing: 'I'm a little confused why this vault costs £200, it's so big and so heavy and awkward and that's before you put 7 L of ice in and then try and get a few cans in It's just essentially a big plastic box If I could send it back I would Sorry Ninja.'
However others loved it, saying: 'Keeps stuff cold really well, as long as you fill it with enough ice/cooler packs. One handed open, cooler drawer and drain hole are the killer features which make it excellent. The divider/chopping board is also a smart idea, although it stops my large ice packs fitting in horizontally, so I haven't been using it much. I'm becoming a bit of a ninja fanboy at the minute, everything I get from them I love, always smart design and good quality.'

The Livarno Home Double TopCool Duvet has landed in Lidl stores just in time for the heatwave, and it's a total game-changer for sweaty summer nights. Designed to keep you cool and comfy, the ultra-light duvet features a micro-fine cover that cleverly regulates moisture and body temperature. It's ideal for double beds, with a soft and fluffy polyester filling that still feels cosy without the stifling heat. It's also machine washable at 60°C and perfect for spring and summer snoozing. And best of all, unlike noisy fans or pricey air cons, it costs nothing to run. The duvet retails for £10.99 and is only available in Lidl stores. Stock may vary depending on your local branch so it's worth giving them a quick call before making the trip. Price check The £10.99 price tag makes it one of the cheapest cooling duvets on the market right now. On Amazon, a similar 'Cooling Blanket for Night Sweats' also costs £10.99 – but there's a catch. Stop Making This Air Conditioning Mistake: How to Slash Your Summer Energy Bill Delivery will set you back another £6.99, bringing the total to £17.98.

There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. Here are some that we recommend: Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of. More ways to beat the heat Lidl's duvet isn't the only sizzling summer bargain doing the rounds. Home Bargains is currently selling a Pifco Cordless Neck Fan for just £4.99 – a total steal compared to pricier versions at John Lewis and Dunelm. The fan has been flying off shelves, with one model, the Pifco Hands Free Wearable Fan, already sold out online in both black and white. Parents are loving the Pure Baby Clip-On Stroller Fan, available for £3.49, while Pifco Mini Handheld Fans are going for just 99p. And if you're looking to stock up, you can grab a three-pack of Water Mist Spray Fans for £5.97. Heatwave essentials As the UK braces for temperatures up to 33°C, shoppers are scrambling for ways to stay cool without breaking the bank. Over at B&Q, a fan costing under £50 is getting rave reviews from customers who say it's 'so quiet you can barely hear it' – perfect for light sleepers. Meanwhile, Dunelm is selling a colourful Mini Handheld Fan for just £1.50, and has slashed 20% off its temperature-regulating duvets. With the heat ramping up and cooling products flying off shelves, now's the time to grab a bargain before they're all gone. If you're trying to work out which is the best hand held fan to buy ahead of the anticipated UK heatwave, we've reviewed the products from a range of high street retailers to find our favourite.

Pretty, profane or pulled up? How socks became cool
On a bright summer's day recently I found myself facing a quandary. Choosing a top and trousers to wear wasn't a problem, but my whole outfit was in danger of being derailed by a mis-step: the wrong socks. Should it be a pair that matched the rest of my outfit, or with a pattern that stood out? Did a frill look fussy, or bring just the right amount of detail? Was the fact they didn't have a four-letter word on them going to expose me as woefully out of touch? The only thing I was certain of is that they should be on show. Yes, the young and the fashionable have known this for a while, but for the rest of us it's taken time to notice the sock's shift to centre-stage. Maybe it took seeing Natalie Portman wearing black socks with high heels, or Lauren Laverne posting pictures of her 'Fucking Legend' socks on Instagram. Almost 20 years since Sock Shop closed in the UK, hosiery has suddenly been returning to the high street – and online specialists have been popping up too. The independent retailer Socktopus has seven shops around the UK but has plans to add more – it sold 640,000 pairs last year and expects to sell 1m this year. Marks & Spencer says sales of women's socks are growing each year, and the accessory is increasingly on offer as a souvenir: at Glastonbury and Wimbledon they make up part of the merchandise collection. My Guardian colleague Jess Cartner-Morley says socks are fashion's 'hottest topic of the decade', while Lynne Hugill, a senior lecturer for the BA in fashion at Teesside University, says 'people of both genders are embracing socks with all kinds of footwear – whether it's flat shoes, a sandal or now a heel'. At M&S, where hosiery is a stock in trade (19m pairs of women's socks are sold there every year), the menswear director Mitch Hughes says there is a 'strong appetite for statement socks' among male shoppers. '[Socks have] had a 2025 glow-up, left behind their functional underdog status and are now attention-seeking and stylish – a key style contender within a man's wardrobe and definitely not an afterthought.' Happy Socks, a sock maker that launched in Stockholm in 2008, has taken part in four international fashion weeks in the past year. 'We did Berlin as our own show, but for Copenhagen, Paris and New York we partnered with designers who came to us and said: 'Hey, we need socks on our runway. Can we work together?',' says the chief marketing and design officer Fiona Murchison. 'That shows the move into the fashion world – if they're on the runway, then, of course, it trickles down.' While shrinkflation has been a big issue in consumer goods, the opposite has hit socks. No-show trainer socks are out, and fabric is slowly rising up the shin. 'We've extended that length higher than the average retailer,' says Murchison. 'Which only the most in-tune sock buyer would maybe notice, but it's an important shift for us because while ankle socks are staple, we see this growing enthusiasm for higher lengths.' The look is highlighted with a word or detail near the cuff. This means 'people are more inclined to pull it up that little teeny bit more,' she says. 'It's a bit more important as a piece … a bit like wearing a giant necklace or something.' When we speak on Zoom, she takes off a sock to show me: it's from a collaboration with Awake NY and in a sports style with a little 'A' near the top. This rising trend isn't just true on bare legs. Lois Woodcock, the head of design at the athleisure company Gymshark, says: 'One trend that stands out is the growing love for crew socks, which are halfway between ankle socks and knee-high socks, particularly with our gen Z community.' Woodcock says these buyers are 'styling their socks very intentionally, often layering crisp white crew socks over leggings'. But while gymgoers may go for plain white, elsewhere there is a move towards pattern and detail. At M&S, female shoppers are looking for sheer, ribbed, lace and embellished socks, and there's 'a huge demand for playful details like ruffles and bows'. Happy Socks makes a huge choice of patterned socks, with this year's designs including tomatoes, hibiscus flowers and racing cars, although Murchison says fewer colours are being used across the range as it moves to be 'more fashion relevant'. Socktopus has thousands of designs, from the whimsical to the artistic, via the F-word. Popular choices include a range of capybaras in cowboy hats – originally suggested by a customer. The firm also makes Henry VIII and his wives socks, which Josie Starsmore, the creative director, is wearing when we speak. Starsmore says people love to come into the shops and try to 'marry the exact sock with the exact person'. Her husband and co-founder Nick (wearing frog socks), says, 'If people think the pattern on a sock looks anything like their dog, they come in and they say, 'You've got Billy socks!' because we've got a sock with a border terrier and luckily it looks like Billy.' In Socktopus branches, the sweary socks are concealed with cardboard. You can have a matching pair or, from an odd-socks pile, make up your own: you could have 'Cock' emblazoned in silver on black on your left leg and 'Twat' in gold on white on your right, or other family-unfriendly combinations. Nick says profane socks 'are quite interesting because the lady who is wearing a floral dress and has two spaniels and comes to our stand at Badminton Horse Trials, and the kind of younger customer at Comic Con, both love socks that say 'fuck off' on them.' Josie says her mum helped at a show and was originally disapproving of the sweary socks but, 'after the second day of asking, 'What is it about these socks that you like so much?', people were really opening up to her, saying it's almost like by wearing these socks to work or in a difficult situation or with my boss who I can't stand I'm having a minor rebellion.' She says: 'That really changed my mum's point of view because then she was like, my God, I actually think there's a real place for this, it's like a tiny little empowerment.' Shorter trouser lengths mean that socks are generally more on display than they were, and are a factor in their rising popularity. But the main reason we all have more time for socks, say those in the know, is the pandemic. 'What really moved it on is Covid,' says Hugill. 'We were looking for comfort, and it changed the way people dress for work. People got used to being at home and wearing their Birkenstocks or their sliders with socks.' The pandemic led to a decline in suit sales, and to the more general acceptance of trainers as office-wear, and so the traditional black or navy blue sock for men, and maybe tights for women, have been reassessed. The financial climate may also have played a role. 'I think there's an element of the lipstick effect,' says Murchison, referring to the theory that in economic downturns consumers look to low-cost indulgences. 'It's a very affordable element to change your outfit. We would consider ourselves, I suppose, a little bit more on the premium end, pricing wise, but nevertheless, you can buy a single sock for 12 euros. So it doesn't break the bank to change up a look.' Josie at Socktopus says rising costs elsewhere may be driving purchases among gift buyers. 'I think the £12 bottle of wine means we've benefited from an £8 pair of gift socks.' She suggests the kidulthood trend, with grownups embracing cute things, and social media have both helped drive sales of patterned and fluffy socks. The thing about socks is they're very inclusive, she says. It doesn't matter what size you are, or what age. That said, at a certain age, it's difficult to know how far to take it – both towards the knee and in terms of pattern. Cartner-Morley says that, generally, she thinks black-and-white socks look better than patterned with shorts or skirts or over leggings, but adds: 'I love a colourful sock if you just get a flash of it, for instance with loafers and trousers.' Of sweary socks, she says, 'I'm not a big fan of anything novelty-adjacent, but on the other hand, any sock that cheers you up or makes you smile is a good sock.' If you want to go for something plain but a bit different from the socks you wore at school, Murchison says solid colours have sold well. Red was in, but now things have moved on and the hot colour is a 'really poppy vibrant blue'. Or, to spruce up an outfit of a dress and trainers she suggests an 'extra fine … a kind of more dainty sock'. She says no one's too old for knee-length socks: 'If you wear a longer length skirt, then you wear it like a tight, basically. It's like wearing a pair of tights, but you can wear it in the summer.' Some will cleave to the no-show trainer sock which, after all, was for many years the agreed-on way to wear hosiery in the summer months and is a sock-drawer staple. Cartner-Morley says that in a recent WhatsApp group chat between friends, someone asked if it was OK to wear trainer socks with a dress and trainers to a party or if she had to wear socks as decreed by fashion. 'After a heated debate we decided that, so long as there wasn't likely to be anyone under 35 at the party, she was safe to wear trainer socks,' she says. Otherwise, I'm afraid there are no excuses. We all need to pull our socks up.
