Amazon shoppers have left rave reviews about a solar-powered light that you could easily mistake for real roses. With summer on the way and the evenings staying lighter, these Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights could be "lovely" and "charming" addition to your garden.
Solar powered artificial flower lights are described as "well made and sturdy", with an "elegant" appearance. According to Amazon, the Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights look so real they could pass for living flowers in your garden. Plus, the petals and leaves are flexible and can be adjusted to your desired position.
No wiring is needed, and Amazon says the setup is easy. All you have to do is place it where you want that gets direct sunlight. It will take between six to eight hours to charge during the day to give off "gorgeous" ambience at night for ten to twelve hours.
As the Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights feature a waterproof design, they are suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. In the review section, one shopper keeps the lights inside her home during winter and puts them back outside when the weather improves.
If you'd prefer a light-up tree rather than flowers, B&Q is selling this 4ft Cherry Blossom Tree Outdoor Decoration for Garden, which comes with 128 solar-powered LED bulbs. The tree costs £27.99, is available for home delivery and is said to " surely impress your visitors." The tree is yet to receive any reviews, however.
There are multiple different colours to choose from

Meanwhile, Amazon's Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights so far have an average customer rating of 4.4 stars out of five, with the majority of reviews overwhelmingly positive. In one five star comment, Carmen said: "Bought as a light for a memorial patch I'm doing in my garden for my late mum. Pink was her favourite colour. It's perfect."
Jamie said: "Very pretty looking in the daytime and lovely at night with the lights." Emzie said: "I love this item. It's nice and bright too. The stick could be bit thicker so make it more sturdy. But overall lovely."
Ali said: "These lights are very pretty on our balcony, especially at night. They look so nice that I have ordered some more. There are three roses on a stem and they look really attractive." Nell said: "Love these roses. I have them in front of a garden mirror and in the evening when they light up they reflect in the mirror. Absolutely beautiful."
Many people say the roses look 'real'

Maria said: "These are AMAZING... I love these and stunning when it get dark these light up and look great" Dolly said: "Looks like a real rose, it looks really pretty at night and is very bright, good quality, good price and size."
Syliva said: "Look very real had loads of comments. Even better at night." Another said: "I bought this for my neighbour and she decided to put it in her kitchen window. It is truly beautiful at night and she absolutely loves it. Will be transferred to the garden through the summer."
However, not everyone was pleased with their Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Light purchase and claimed to face problems after a few months. Steve said: "Not bad for the price but after a while the red leaves faded." Marcel said: "After a few months, it simply doesn't shine as bright as before." Wendy said: "Lights up but looks very very plastic."
Nia said: "It was lovely and bright at first, but within a few months the colour was all washed out and the petals falling off, and it stopped working completely after 18 months, which was really sad as it was bought for a memorial."

The sport rightly has a reputation for being a pricey pastime to take up, but there are ways to cut costs. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up PAR FOR THE COURSE: Many courses offer reduced rates for playing later in the day and into twilight. Clubs often have other off-peak hours when it is cheaper to tee-off. Or start off with a nine-hole round rather than the full 18 to save.

Check sites such as Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace, as well as charity shops or car boot sales. You can also buy used balls. Search eBay and Amazon for balls that are not box fresh. PITCH & PUTT: Many big parks have mini-golf courses that you play with one club and a putter and it's a great way to get a taste for the game. The equipment is supplied and costs are normally very reasonable. Or try an indoor golf venue where you can have an evening out playing golf, with food or drinks — again all equipment is supplied and it's a novel way to enjoy the sport. 7 We reveal ways to cut the costs of playing golf Credit: Getty DJ Khaled gets golf advice from Rory McIlroy All prices on page correct at time of going to press.

Can these five viral TikTok fashion gadgets REALLY solve every wardrobe crisis from fabric shaver to stretch belt?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TIKTOK is a goldmine for hacks - and right now, it's overflowing with gadgets that claim to solve every wardrobe crisis. As a fashion assistant, I'm no stranger to quick-fixes. I've always got a safety pin and double-sided tape in my bag - ready to rescue a hem, a neckline, or a stubborn zip. 11 Fashion Assistant Emily Regan puts some TikTok gadgets to the test and rates them out of ten Credit: David Cummings With over a million videos under #fashionhacks, my feed is full of weird and wonderful gizmos promising to make fashion mishaps a thing of the past. But are any of them actually worth your money? Here, I put them to the test to see which really work. Mini Stitch Gun, £15.99, Amazon 11 Mini Stitch Gun, £15.99, Amazon Credit: Supplied 11 Emily says the gadget which holds fabric in place is a game changer for her wardrobe Credit: David Cummings Being petite myself with a fuller bust, finding clothes that fit just right can be a challenge. The Mini Stitch gun first caught my attention on TikTok, where fans of the product hailed it as the 'ultimate fashion hack'. One video of the gun had over 41.5k views. It works by inserting a small, removable plastic stitch to hold fabric in place, perfect for closing button gaps, hiding bra straps, or temporarily hemming jeans. I was impressed by how quick and easy this is to use. This particular kit included helpful step by step picture instructions, five needle replacements and lots of extra fastenings plus a handy travel case. There's no need to apply a lot of pressure, you simply squeeze the trigger and the stitch is in. The stitch is made of plastic so it feels secure and holds all day. Although it was visible close up, it didn't show in photos. Nobody mentioned to me they could see it. This is a game changer for my wardrobe. Rating: 8/10 Impressed customers film themselves using the Philips GCO26 Fabric Shaver which has racked up over 1,000 five-star Amazon reviews Fabric Shaver, £9.99, Phillips 11 Fabric Shaver, £9.99, Phillips Credit: Supplied 11 This fabric shaver is really effective and will remove those dreaded bobbles on jumpers Credit: David Cummings Electric fabric shavers had a big moment a few years ago, and the buzz is back… pun intended. They became popular during Covid-19 as people took more of an interest in extending the lifespan of their clothes. I've only ever tried a super cheap one from the Poundshop, so I decided to give the more pricey £9.99 Phillips version a try. This one in particular was described as 'magic' by one user on TikTok, with another calling it a 'game changer'. One video recommending the model in question has also racked up over 50.3k views. It comes with picture instructions and 2 AA batteries. The cover for inserting batteries slides off without much effort but does stay put during use. Quite a few Tiktok users commented that it's important to remove the plastic cap, with some forgetting to do so and not finding it as effective. But once it's off, it's easy to use. Simply flick the on switch and gently glide the shaver over any bobbles to remove them. It's really effective and better than anything I've used before. Gone are the days of washing a jumper once and being ruined by dreaded bobbles, plus it works on sofas and soft furnishings too.

These ones were £5.99 for two on Amazon but I've seen them for as little as £1 each on Tiktok shop. Sadly the low price is reflected in the product quality. The plastic case broke almost immediately after I took them out of the packaging. That said, it does still do the job. Simply roll the sticky pad over your clothes and it picks up any unwanted dust, fluff and hair really easily. The adhesive pad is super sticky so it really clings to everything. To clear it, you just rinse the pad under water. You are supposed to remove it from the case, but I struggled to do this in fear of breaking it as it's so flimsy. The biggest problem I found was drying it. You can't use a towel or cloth as it's so sticky that it just gathers more dust. While it comes with its frustrations, I do think it's worth having. With a little product development, it could be a useful tool to have around the house.

I always fall between sizes so shopping for the perfect pair is a real struggle. Thankfully, I (or rather TikTok) has found the perfect solution with these genius removable no-sew buttons. They come screwed together, and whilst it takes a little force to pull both pieces apart (especially with nails - and mine aren't exactly long), that does mean they won't budge once screwed in place. To use, you push the pin through where you want the new button to go, snap the backing piece in from the back to create a new button and a tighter waistband. Plus, they're reusable, so if your size does fluctuate, like mine, you can easily move them without damaging your jeans. They come in gold and silver and there are many designs to choose from. Although slightly fiddly, once you get the hang of it, they're such a smart, budget friendly alternative to buying new jeans. Rating: 8/10 Elastic Stretch Belt, £8.95 for 2, Amazon 11 Elastic Stretch Belt, £8.95 for 2, Amazon Credit: Supplied 11 This elastic stretch belt helped create a clean tuck but was uncomfortable and didn't look nice Credit: David Cummings TikTokers deem this elastic belt to be the best solution for achieving the 'perfect tuck'. If you struggle with tucking and cropping your T-shirts and jumpers, or even if you have a top that's too long and, when tucked in, creates an unflattering bulky look around your waist, this product is designed to eliminate the problem. The adjustable band fixes around your waist, allowing you to securely tuck your top into it. The clasp is easy to use and the two pack includes a black and a white version, which is a plus, as they will work with any outfit. I was skeptical about this one, and personally I don't think it's worth nearly £9. Sure, it helps create a clean tuck, but the elastic was very uncomfortable around my waist after a few hours of wear. I think a regular belt could do the job just as well and would probably look nicer too. Rating: 3/10

Some of these affordable devices have proven to make a real difference, especially to those who favour convenience without compromising on style. I was especially impressed with the pricing of the products too. These are all budget-friendly alternatives to visiting a tailor or buying brand new products. So if you're navigating fluctuating sizes or want to refresh your favourite jumpers, these trending tools actually prove that most of the time, TikTok hacks do deliver.
