Next's 'pretty' table lamp ideal for lighting up corners without plug sockets

Next's 'pretty' table lamp ideal for lighting up corners without plug sockets

Daily Record07-05-2025

If you have an area with no socket which needs a bit of brightening up, this lamp can help
If you live in a house with a dearth of plug sockets you'll know the struggle. Extension cables are needed just to get that electricity supply to where you want it to be, and that can result in an unsightly jumble of wires in your room.
It means that lighting up some corners can be more difficult - but Next have a stylish and practical solution to that problem. Their Confetti Glass Rechargeable Wireless Table Lamp not only looks great, but it doesn't require a plug socket to bathe your room in light.
You can transform your space for just £45 with this lamp, which features a white glass shade and a brushed gold base, perfect for adding a touch of luxury to your surroundings.
And it can be moved around too without faffing with cables because once charged, the lamp will emit light for five to eight hours, according to the retail giant.
It comes with a USB charging cable and one buyer said the "lovely little lamp" is versatile as it can be moved to any room in the house easily, reports the Liverpool Echo.
It's 20cm wide and 23.5cm tall while the brass base is 11cm across and boasts that the LED non replaceable bulb saves 90 per cent energy and therefore cuts electricity costs too.
Another rechargeable lamp with a similar look to the Next option, is the Cassia Pressed Glass Rechargeable Touch Dimmable Table Lamp from Dunelm. It's retailing at £40 and also comes with a three-stage touch feature so users can set the mood accordingly.
There's also the Ayla Origami LED Rechargeable Wireless Lamp from Dusk. It is the most affordable out of the three as it is currently on sale for £35 - and you can take another 15 per cent off when using the code EXTRA15 at checkout before midnight on Thursday, May 8.
But, for shoppers who still have the Next Confetti Glass Lamp is still top of the list, note that other customers say it is "easy to assemble" and "very pretty".
Someone wrote:"I bought this lamp for the corner of my lounge which has no electric sockets, it's a beautiful lamp the light it gives off is really bright and it is easy to charge and it last for hours. So impressed I have bought another one."
And another person agreed, adding: "Great little lamp for corners that have no plug socket, really pretty and easy to charge up."
A third shopper said: "This lamp is perfect for the areas that don't have socket outlets but need light. Easy to charge and lasts quite a long time. Also, very stylish."
There is, however, some debate over the brightness of the lamp. Some customers found it "a bit too bright" with one knocking a star off their review as a result.
Homewares deal of the week
With summer on the horizon, you'll be wanting to spend more time in your garden relaxing.
To help keep you protected from harmful UV rays, a stylish parasol can really refresh your outdoors space. Fortunately, Asda has just bought back its sell-out item that shoppers can't stop raving over.
The supermarket's highly coveted Riviera Stripe Parasol was so popular when it first launched in 2024 that it apparently "sold out in nine weeks." Now, it can be yours for just £59 when you buy it here.
The supermarket's summer garden staple is said to "bring a slice of the Riviera into any garden" thanks to its trendy striped canopy and intricate tassel edging that offers a "boho touch" to the design.
It's not just a stylish addition to your garden, as the FSC-certified wood pole has a lean function that allows you to tilt the canopy whenever you feel the position sun shift. Meanwhile, the polycotton canopy is said to be "weatherproof", making it suitable for unpredictable UK summers.
Since the Riviera Stripe Parasol sold out within just over two months last year, it's expected that it will be popular once again this year. It's also no surprise to hear that it has managed to amass glowing five-star reviews on the George at Asda website.
One delighted customer wrote: "I'm blown away by how amazing this product is. I've been wanting to get a patterned parasol with a boho touch for a while, but unwilling to spend the £150+ that they normally are. I thought I'd give this one a go, but didn't expect much for the price.
"It is exactly what I wanted. Furthermore it also tips and has a lovely case. It is stylish, good, waterproof fabric and looks like something you would get from a much fancier, 'bespoke' store. I could not recommend it more."
The Riviera Stripe Parasol can be bought online at George at Asda for £59 here.
Shoppers will have to remember to recharge the table lamp every so often, but customers confirm that charging the lamp isn't an issue, with one person saying: "Delighted with this purchase. My daughter bought me the vase to match. It's not a bright light but is adequate for my small hallway. It does need charging periodically but this has not been a problem. It is admired by visitors."
Someone else said: "Great lamp. Bigger and more substantial than expected. Once charged, it lasts a reasonable time. Throws a lovely pattern on the ceiling too. Glass is a nice weight not flimsy. Love it."
The sophisticated table lamp has an expensive feel to it, but priced at £45, shoppers can snap up two for under £100. They could be a good option as bedside table lamps.

Next's 'smart' and 'comfortable' £20 linen top 'can be worn for all occasions'

Next is selling a T-shirt that customers are grabbing in 'every available colour' for summer. Shoppers have praised the affordable item, which is easy to "dress up or down" for any event. Available in six distinct styles, the Short Sleeve Boxy T-shirt with Linen ranges in price from £19 to £25. According to buyers, it has quickly become a "favourite" in this season's wardrobe selections. Next, experts describe it as offering a "relaxed fit" and presenting an effortlessly "easy summer look." The top's "comfortable" material, a linen blend known for its cooling properties, makes it a smart choice for warm weather. It also comes in sizes from six to 26. There are other alternatives on the market, such as Uniqlo's Linen Crew Neck T-shirt (£29.90) or Matalan's affordable Pink Stripe Linen Blend Top (£18). But, shoppers appear to have a clear preference for Next's 'stylish' top. Styles can be as bold or as simple as shoppers wish, including the solid black or crisp white editions at £19 each. Patterned varieties have a slightly higher price tag, like the Abstract Sunshine Print available for £25. Some prints, like the zebra-effect top or red and white palm tree pattern top, come in slightly cheaper at £20 each, reports the Mirror. Most options have earned a range of five-star reviews. (Image: Next) One customer said: "So comfortable to wear. Can be dressed up or down." Another added: "Lovely material for warm weather, good fit [and it] doesn't crease like some linen tops." A third shopper shared: "Lovely top. It can be worn for all occasions, had lots of compliments on this top." And another said: "Nice easy to wear linen blend top. Love the bright colour and pattern and button up back." Some shoppers had critisisms, like one who thought the top was "too thin". More feedback came from an online review which suggested: "Nice item but [it's] far too long. Nice looking but a little too large too." (Image:) Yet, more added to the positive reviews: "Lovely linen blend top. It buttons down the back and has two side slits. Great red and white pattern which looks fab with some white linen pants." Someone else put: "I've got them all now! [The tops] are comfortable to wear and they look smart as well." And, a thrid shared: "Love the colours, the buttons feature on the back makes it look more expensive and friends have commented how much they like it. Nice length, not cropped fits true to size."

Simba customers can bag £836 of 'free' gifts with any mattress

Customers can upgrade their bedroom setup with 'complimentary' memory foam pillows, mattress protectors and more We all know how crucial a good kip is for our well-being. While splurging on top-notch mattresses and bedding may seem a bit extravagant, it's an investment that pays off every night. With this in mind, sleep tech brand Simba has introduced a tempting deal that makes upgrading your sleep setup even more attractive. Currently, when shoppers purchase a Simba mattress, they can receive over £800 worth of complimentary sleep-boosting items, including pillows, mattress protectors, and a luxurious duvet. For instance, with a double, king, or super king Simba Hybrid mattress, customers will receive two complimentary memory foam pillows (priced at £218) and a mattress protector (valued at up to £169) - that's an additional £387 in value. If you're shopping for a single-size mattress, you'll get the same deal - but with one pillow instead of two. On the other hand, the Simba Luxe Mattres s (starting from £1,119) comes bundled with even more high-end complimentary items. If shoppers buy any double, king or super king Luxe, they'll be gifted a Hybrid 3-in-1 duvet, a mattress protector and two Hybrid pillows - totalling up to £836. As before, single mattresses are also included in the offer but come with one pillow instead of two, reports the Liverpool Echo. Additionally, the brand offers a 30-day trial and a 12-month warranty. If you're not familiar with Simba mattresses, its best-selling Hybrid Mattress is the most recognised. It has garnered over 100,000 five-star reviews for its 'supportive' five-layer design, which combines springs with memory foam. For those who prefer to browse before making a purchase, a wealth of other top-notch mattresses are available. Take Tempur, for example, which boasts NASA-approved technology in its designs that mould to your body shape, offering pressure relief exactly where it's needed. Emma Sleep also offers a tempting choice with its award-winning Hybrid Premium Mattress, which features three layers of advanced foam designed to optimise sleep by improving airflow, distributing weight evenly, and reducing motion transfer. Back to Simba, one chuffed customer said: "After spending a few weeks sleeping on the Simba Hybrid mattress, I can confidently say it lives up to much of the hype. It's a great blend of support and comfort, and the materials feel premium from the moment you lie down." Another chimed in with praise, remarking: "The mattress arrived on time with an easy delivery. It is super comfortable and folded out well. I was a bit worried when it was all crushed up in the box, but it is firm and has no dips. Also, the duvet and pillows are great so far and stay plump." However, not everyone is thrilled with their purchase. A disgruntled buyer expressed dissatisfaction: "It wasn't comfortable for me. No quibble return was provided, though, with mattress collection provided." Yet another enthusiast shared their devotion to the Simba Hybrid Mattress: "I love this mattress. We bought it for our first home, and it gave us a great night's sleep. Firmness is perfect for us - no sore backs. No more tossing and turning. Comfort level is 10/10." Investing in a mattress can be a big decision, but it could be the best thing you can do for your sleep health this year. You can browse the entire Simba collection here; the sale ends on June 19.
