Iconic 90s perfume that 'always brings back memories' under £29 on Amazon
Take a trip down memory lane with the retro Tommy Girl perfume.
There's no denying the power that a childhood perfume can hold. Despite there being an array of stunning scents to choose from these days, many of us like to revisit an old favourite.
One retro fragrance Amazon shoppers currently can't stop boasting over is the "crisp" Tommy Girl Eau de Toilette. Unlike many designer brands, it's fairly affordable, with a 100ml costing just £28.95.
It is also available in a smaller 50ml bottle for just £22.45, although it is beginning to fast sell out, with Amazon advising there are only "13 left in stock" at the time of writing.
Launched back in 1996, Tommy Hilfiger's iconic scent quickly became one of the designer brand's most beloved fragrances. In fact, it even boasts a male counterpart, Tommy, which has been praised as a "timeless classic" for under £30.
Meanwhile, Tommy Girl remains a firm fan-favourite for its blend of fruity and floral notes that are said to "capture the freedom and optimism of an American road trip."

Product Description
Its main notes are bergamot and spearmint, with florals including jasmine, rose, and iced tea making up its heart notes. It then ends on base notes of musks and sandalwood, adding a warm finish to the fresher scent.
The bottle itself is also iconic, boasting simple sinuous curves and a transparent glass that is distinguished by its simple silver cap and minimalist logo.
Retro scents often remain 'on trend' no matter how old they are. One that many millennial women will remember rushing out to buy is Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy Eau de Parfum (100ml), currently just £39.50 at Boots.
Another legendary perfume that often sells out is Vera Wang's Princess Eau de Toilette, with a 100ml bottle of the famed heart-shaped bottle now on offer at The Perfume Shop for just £23.99.
Beauty deal of the week
Beauty fans looking to get a golden glow will know the benefit of tanning drops.
One bottle that has "blown away" shoppers is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops - and they cost under £11 a bottle.
Ideal for those who don't want to go through the hassle of using a tanning mitt to prevent patchiness or orange-tones, these "lightweight" drops can be easily mixed into your favourite moisturiser for a flawless glow.
Since the drops offer a "buildable" bronzed look, many reviews have suggested that one of the positives is the ability to "control" the depth of their tan, unlike other products that deliver just one specific shade.
Enriched with skin-loving ingredients hyaluronic acid and coconut water, these Garnier drops also work to keep your skin "intensely moisturised" day by day.
Of course, with the reputation Garnier's Natural Bronzer Face Drops have earned, it's no surprise they have 4.2 rating based on over 2,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers call them a "little bottle of magic" for a "natural sun-kissed glow."
One purchaser said: "Blown away! I'm not a phaffer. I generally don't bother with things like tan and bronzer. But this little bottle of magic changed all that! I love it! I pop it on with my moisturiser and a couple of hours later I am actually glowing!
"I've been asked repeatedly if I've been on holiday, lost weight, got a new person, had a facelift or found a genie in a bottle. I'm so scared of running out I've stocked up!!"
Shop the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops for £10.67 on Amazon here.
Owing to its popularity, Tommy Girl is still a popular choice for those looking for some nostalgia, as it has managed to earn a 4.6 rating based on over 5,000 Amazon reviews that say it "brings back memories" and "lasts all day."
One devoted fan said: "Loved this fragrance in my younger years and glad it's not been altered. The fragrance Brings back happy memories and still great value for money."
A similar shopper agreed: "I liked this as a teenager and love it as and adult. Sprayed it and all memories came flooding in. Must buy. Clean crisp scent."

One who found the scent more on the mature side argued: "I am a woman who prefers to wear masculine clothing, and this smells too much like an old lady. If that's what you're going for, this is the one for you."
But someone praising its longevity said: "When I was still working, before retirement, this great scent lasted all day and into the evening! Not so strong that people around start sneezing and coughing! Perfect scorching summer and chilly winter! I have used this for years, and am so glad that Amazon still carries it."

Clock is ticking to grab £60 off Ninja Doublestack XL Air Fryer in limited-time deal
Clock is ticking to grab £60 off Ninja Doublestack XL Air Fryer in limited-time deal An air fryer has become a household essential, and now shoppers can snap one up for less This massive air fryer makes cooking healthy meals a breeze (Image: Amazon ) Air fryers have quickly become an essential for every household. They are known to make cooking healthy meals easier, quicker and efficient for everyone as they cut cooking time back hugely. However, it can be expensive to invest in a good quality one and shoppers often find themselves doing without. Now, they are in luck as they can snag the NInja Double Stack XL Air Fryer for £209.01 down from £269.99 on Amazon. The Ninja airfryer is said to be 30% slimmer than the AF400, helping save space on shoppers counters. Despite the smaller footprint, it has an extra-large 9.5L capacity - enough to cook for up to eight people - and can cook up to 55% faster than a fan oven (tested on fish fingers and sausages). READ MORE: Save £300 on 'fantastic' rattan garden corner sofa and footstool READ MORE: Amazon shoppers hail game-changing portable Ninja blender as 'best little blender ever' It features two drawers and two meal racks, giving shoppers four cooking levels. Rear-positioned fans also help ensure even cooking and crisping across all levels and the unit is said to use up to 55% less energy than a traditional oven - based on sausage cooking tests using the air fry function. With the air fryer comes six cooking modes - max crisp, air fry, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate. It includes two 4.75L drawers, two non-stick crisper plates and two racks. All parts are completely dishwasher safe and it comes with a 2-year guarantee when registered. For other options of air fryers, shoppers could also try the Breville VDF131 Halo XL 9L Air Fryer in Silver for £90 which uses 360 degree air circulation and 99.5% less oil than standard 3L Breville fryers, is said to be ideal for family meals as it offers 65% more cooking capacity, and has six pre-set options. Another choice is the PHILIPS 3000 Series NA352/OO 9L Dual Basket Air Fryer for £129.99 from Currys. This fryer has a 9L capacity, eight preset functions, non-slip feet, dual baskets and two independent cooking zones. Shoppers can cook all sorts of foods at once in this air fryer (Image: Amazon ) Shoppers have rated the Ninja air fryer a high 4.7 out of 5 stars, however, from a total of 2,010 on Amazon. One shopper said: 'I love air fryers and I really love this one, it takes up less room than my last one. Yes it's a big investment but it's so versatile, well made and you have the security of having a well known and established quality brand. You can cook almost anything in it, it's easy to clean, saves a fortune by not using the oven, and the energy efficiency is great. Controls are easy to navigate. The top drawer tends to cook quicker than the bottom drawer which is fine. I would highly recommend this to anyone, small families, large families, absolutely great products.' Another wrote: 'This thing has absolutely no business being this good. It's like having a tiny kitchen wizard on your counter who somehow knows how to make chips better than you ever could. The 9.5L size is a game-changer — you can actually cook for real people, not just two sad potato wedges at a time.' 'I have cooked roast potatoes for a roast, perfect. Chips are crispy and not dried out or hard. Fish cooked well as well as chicken items. Can't wait to try everything else, possibilities are endless,' said another buyer. Some did share opposing opinions, as one shopper said: 'This is not the best. In fact I'm really disappointed with it. This is the second ninja we have purchased the first was brilliant couldn't fault it but this takes twice as long to cook anything.' Article continues below 'I am disappointed with my purchase, it has not functioned correctly for some time now,' said another. However, for £60 off a great quality option, the Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer could be a perfect buy.

Stanley's viral tumbler is 40% off — its lowest price ever right now
Keeping a reusable water bottle (that you actually like and sip from) on hand is one of the best ways to get your daily water intake high. And when those scorching hot days roll around, you may want a bottle that's particularly known for keeping water cold and refreshing. Enter: Stanley's viral Quencher Tumbler — the uber popular reusable water bottle, known for keeping drinks cold for hours, is currently 40% off on Amazon, which also happens to be its lowest price ever. Both the 30- and 40-ounce tumblers are almost half off so it's the perfect time to cash in on the trend. The Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler, often referred to as just 'a Stanley ' has double-wall insulation properties and a stainless steel, BPA-free interior that helps keep drinks like water ice cold for up to 11 hours, according to the brand. I've tried out the Stanley myself and I often put ice water in it before going to bed and wake up to ice cubes in almost full form in the morning. Plus, I love that the bottom of the bottle is compatible with many cup holders, including the ones on the treadmill at my gym. The tumbler, which is available in a 30-ounce handled version, is available in a long list of colors and designs, including many limited-edition and themed ones. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a commerce editor at NBC Select, where I write about deals and sale events on reusable water bottles and other everyday accessories and small home appliances. I found this deal by look across retailers and brands online.

Krispy Kreme to give away free glazed doughnuts on June 6
The company wants to reclaim their title "as the OG of the glazed doughnut". Therefore, they are encouraging customers to bring 'Faux-G doughnuts' into a Krispy Kreme store, which they can "upgrade" to an original glazed doughnut for free. A "Faux-G doughnut" is defined as being a glazed doughnut from another shop that could be seen as an "inferior imitation". A post shared by Krispy Kreme UK (@krispykremeuk) Customers will need to bring their "Faux-G doughnut" into a Krispy Kreme store or show proof of purchase (such as with a receipt) to claim their free original glazed doughnut on Friday, June 6. The offer will only be available for one day, with it being limited to one redemption per person. Guy Meakin, Krispy Kreme UK President, said: "They say imitation is the ultimate form of flattery, and we have seen many copies of our iconic doughnuts over the years. But we all know a dupe is rarely as good as the real thing. Nothing compares to the melt-in-your-mouth experience of a fresh Original Glazed. "This National Doughnut Day, we're inviting everyone to taste the difference and remind them that when it comes to doughnuts, there's only one OG. A post shared by Krispy Kreme UK (@krispykremeuk) "We want doughnut fans to enjoy the best of the best, so turn your backs on the dupes and stick with the original. We're excited to see the reactions as people upgrade their 'Faux-Gs' for the real deal." As part of the campaign, rapper Lady Leshurr has released her brand new single, Run This Glaze, which is a diss track playfully calling out 'imitators' of the Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts. Krispy Kreme is an American company that was set up back in July 1937 by Vernon Rudolph. It started in North Carolina, seeing steady growth over the decades, with it opening its first store in the UK in October 2003. This original store was situated in the Harrods department store in London before it shut in 2011, with there now being 120 locations in the UK. As part of an April Fool's Day campaign back in 2017, Krispy Kreme claimed they were going to change their name to 'Krispy Cream'. As reported by The Mirror, this was to avoid the issue of Brits not knowing whether to pronounce 'Kreme' as 'cream' or the more French-sounding 'crème'.

At the time, the company said after "much consideration", Krispy Kreme has taken the decision to rebrand in the UK and distance the UK franchise from its US counterpart. The Shannon Corner store in London did actually roll out a store rebrand to try and sell this, before it was eventually revealed as a joke.
