You can kit out your kitchen and pick up the perfect travel mugs for those days in the office with B&M's new "Quiet Luxury" range.
The new collection is officially hitting shelves, with the shop announcing the highly-anticipated launch in a TikTok video.
"We've been teasing this collection for a while and are soooo pleased to say it's finally landed in stores," the caption read.
B&M went on to share "a snapshot of what you can pick up" in the video.
New collection
Shoppers can pick up a lowball glass with a 3D pink bow in the base for just £3.
They can further class up their drink with a set of glass drinking straws, which also feature a bow detail.
The pack of six is available for just £3 and comes with a cleaning brush.
And for the days when you're on the go, another £3 will get you a glass travel mug with a bow pattern.
This includes a sealed lid and straw for enjoying on your daily commute.
Or you can opt for a large white metal mug with black bows printed on it.
Shoppers are racing to B&M for Molly-Mae's latest collection & there are some incredible scents for less than a fiver
Bearing a remarkable resemblance to the popular Stanley cups, this buy is sure to set you back a lot less.
And for a cosy night in, you can pick up a cream ceramic mug with a black bow pattern.
Shoppers can further extend the bow pattern into their dining ware too.
There are cream ceramic bowls available, each with a large black bow detail.
And for just £2.50, you can pick up a plate with the phrase "Living the dream" written on it, accompanied by more bows.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen.
Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
Or for just 50p extra, you can opt for a plain cream plate with black lining and bow detailing.
Shopper reactions
B&M customers shared their excitement for the new items in the comments section.
"Love love love," wrote one impressed viewer.
Another shopper said they were "obsessed" with the new buys on offer.
A third person tagged their friend, saying: "We need to gooooo."
More B&M buys
Other B&M shoppers picked up toys for as little as £1 as they already look ahead to Christmas.
And the retailer also recently launched its own Specialbuys sale to rival Aldi.
One shopper used B&M buys to transform their rental garden on a budget.

From Margiela to Marni: OTB's creative shake-up may just be the beginning

In a season of notable reshuffles across fashion's creative directors, the news of Meryll Rogge taking the helm at Marni might appear subdued compared to the drama at more headline-grabbing houses. But make no mistake, her appointment is a quietly significant moment not just for the Milanese label, but for its parent company, OTB, which has been carefully retooling its creative assets. The Italian fashion group, long considered a quieter sibling to Kering and LVMH, is now executing what can only be described as a calculated creative overhaul, starting with Maison Margiela, and now Marni, with Jil Sander waiting in the wings. The biggest headline of this week has been the appointment of Meryll Rogge as creative director of Marni. Her arrival follows the June departure of Francesco Risso, whose intellectually maximalist vision may have earned cult status but never quite translated into market momentum. Rogge, a Belgian designer trained at Dries Van Noten and Marc Jacobs, represents a sharp pivot: minimal where Risso was expressive, architectural where he was romantic. OTB appears to be recalibrating its brands for cultural longevity over fleeting buzz. Rogge's Marni promises a return to the label's modernist roots, playful but poised, less runway theatre and more wardrobe intelligence. It's a move that could reawaken a customer who drifted away during the previous tenure, especially if backed by a refined retail and merchandising strategy. This appointment comes just days after Glenn Martens's couture debut at Maison Margiela, a show so technically sophisticated and creatively explosive it has already been declared the triumph of the couture season. That Martens was given the freedom to push boundaries speaks volumes about OTB's willingness to take meaningful risks. But just as crucial is the follow-through: Martens' success gives the group breathing room to execute subtler changes elsewhere. Next up is Jil Sander, where Simone Bellotti, formerly at Bally and Gucci, will unveil his first full collection later this season. His quiet appointment this spring barely made headline compared to the Anderson and Grazia Chiuri shift at Dior, precisely the kind of soft launch that suits Jil Sander's DNA. The label has long catered to the purists of design, and Bellotti will need to balance its ascetic heritage with renewed relevance. Taken together, these appointments aren't just creative reshuffles, they're strategic recalibrations of brand identity across OTB's portfolio. This is not a conglomerate chasing TikTok moments. It's playing a longer game: building houses with distinct, durable codes in an era when many brands blur into sameness. Financially, OTB remains a mid-size player compared to the giants of luxury, but the group is betting on a future where creative substance wins over hype. If executed with discipline, the Rogge-Martens-Bellotti trifecta could represent a turning point—not only in aesthetic terms but in growth potential. Because, as any seasoned observer will tell you, brand equity isn't just built on marketing campaigns and headlines, it's built on consistency, clarity, and creative conviction.

B&M shares slide as margin woes overshadow a good summer

Concerns over B&M European Value Retail's struggling grocery and household goods division, and pressure on margins, outweighed an otherwise solid sales performance in the first quarter. While warm weather and strong sales of garden furniture helped group revenue rise 4.4 per cent year-on-year to £1.41 billion in the 13 weeks to June 28, shares in the discount retailer fell more than 12 per cent on Tuesday — their lowest level since November 2016. Investors reacted sharply to the finer details. Like-for-like sales in the core UK business rose just 1.3 per cent, while fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sales — which includes snacks, cleaning products, baby care and toiletries — were in decline over the period. • Why B&M is the new middle-class shop of choice The company also flagged a squeeze on trading gross margins due to deflation in average selling prices across some general merchandise categories, though it expects this pressure to ease in the second quarter as new, higher-margin ranges are introduced. Analysts at Panmure Liberum said: 'Despite favourable trading conditions and soft comparatives, today's performance was, in our view, somewhat disappointing and does little to ease fundamental concerns around the health of the FMCG grocery channel.' The analysts were 'surprised by the softer tone around gross margin performance in that category. On this basis, fears of a potential margin reset may persist, keeping earnings volatility elevated — we suspect like-for-likes will struggle to maintain momentum for the remainder of the year.' Deutsche Bank also labelled the results 'disappointing'. Founded in 1978, B&M operates 777 B&M stores and 343 Heron Foods stores in the UK, as well as 135 B&M stores in France. Like others in the discount sector, it has faced intensifying competition and consumer pressure from the cost of living crisis, with both factors hitting profit margins and spending habits. • What's in Tjeerd Jegen's in-tray at B&M? Heron Foods posted a slight 0.4 per cent year-on-year decline in sales during the quarter, though momentum was stronger in France, where revenue rose 7.6 per cent, with like-for-like growth of 1.1 per cent. B&M said UK general merchandise sales increased on both a like-for-like and total basis, with particularly strong performances across garden, toys and DIY, despite price deflation. While FMCG sales remained negative for the quarter, the group said performance in health and beauty and cleaning categories had improved in June, 'following the improvements made in operational execution'. Work was continuing to strengthen its overall FMCG proposition, its bosses said. Tjeerd Jegen, the newly appointed chief executive, said: 'While B&M UK's like-for-like sales are growing, I see a significant opportunity and requirement to sharpen our commercial and operational execution as we move towards and beyond the golden quarter. 'Looking ahead, my focus is on building on our strong foundations, leveraging our market position and continuing to deliver exceptional value for our customers.' Jegen, a former Tesco executive, took over from the interim chief executive Mike Schmidt last month, following the departure of Alex Russo after three years in the role. The group said it remained on track to open 45 gross stores over the full year. Eighteen gross new B&M UK stores were opened in the first quarter. Half-year results for the 26 weeks to September 27 will be published on November 13, when B&M will provide full-year profit guidance. Shares in B&M, which have almost halved in value in the past 12 months, retreated another 7.2 per cent, or 18½p, to 239¼p in late-afternoon trading on Tuesday.
