Flash sale offers shoppers a gorgeous twice-blooming Magnolia tree for under £5
Shoppers looking to decorate their garden with a stunning array of beautifully coloured flowers that bloom twice a year can currently pick up a magnolia tree for under £5 Magnolia trees are a firm favourite in outdoor spaces across the UK. They are beloved for their vibrant display of colour and masses of tulip-shaped flowers that appear in a cloud-like bouquet twice a year. The flowers give way to bold green leaves that remain throughout the summer. If you've been wanting to elevate your garden with the iconic twice-flowering tree, but have worried it would make a dent in your wallet, look no further. Thanks to Gardening Express' end-of-season sale, shoppers can currently pick up a popular magnolia variety for the massively reduced price of £3.99. But you'll need to act fast, as there's no telling how long stocks will last. This sale, which has slashed the price of Gardening Express' lost label stock, is highly coveted due to the varieties it contains. These magnolias are best known and favoured for blooming twice a year—in Spring and late summer. These plants are not only robust but also low maintenance, producing an abundance of beautiful flowers. With little care required, these trees are perfect for everyone, from gardening novices to green-thumbed experts, as magnolias are quite content to be left to grow without supervision. The large goblet-shaped flowers, measuring 15-20cms (6-7inches), are truly a sight to behold. They grow on sturdy, compact shrubs or small trees, typically reaching heights of 2-3 metres (6-10ft) over time. If left unpruned, they can even double this height over a couple of decades. Fresh from the cold store, these bare-root trees are around 100-150cms (3-5ft tall). They're perfect to plant and establish this summer, with the potential to flower as early as next spring. They are ready to be planted upon arrival, whether you're adding them to a garden border or keeping them in a decorative planter on the patio. It is worth noting, however, that due to a mix-up with Gardening Express' supplier, they're unsure about the colours—shoppers who purchase a magnolia from this lucky dip could find any of the shades pictured or even something slightly different. If you'd prefer to shop elsewhere, or are happy skipping out on the £3.99 bargain price tag, take a look at this Magnolia Soulangeana, which is currently up for grabs on Amazon for an affordable £21.99. Or, you can find the same specimen at YouGarden for the reduced price of £19.99. Or, Gardening Express also stocks a Magnolia Soulangeana, which is selling for an affordable £17.95.

Home Bargains' new £6 bag that 'could pass' for £75 version
Fans of the affordable shop said that they have quickly become 'obsessed' with the 'new viral must have' If you're still looking forward to some summer days out during the last few weeks of sunshine and warm weather, a bag will be essential to carry all your belongings. If you don't want to splash out on something that could get dirty or ruined, Home Bargains has something new that's making waves online. The discount store shared an Instagram video from the clothing section in one of its stores and told shoppers there's a new £6 bag that "everyone will ask you about". It is sure to stand out with its bold colours and special features. The "sleek and durable" £6 Originals Rubber Tote Bag from Home Bargains is ideal for trips to the shops or even for a day out at the beach. Thanks to its "wipe-clean rubber material," it is even easier to clean than traditional bags made of cloth or other materials. On the Home Bargains website, the bag is described as a "go-to for stylish, easy-to-clean practicality". It is available in three different colours - white, hot pink and baby blue - and is "perfect for carrying all your essentials wherever life takes you". People were quick to notice the similarities between the Home Bargains version and a more expensive version directly from the popular footwear brand Crocs. The brand's £74.99 Large Tote Bag is made from a similar material to the iconic plastic clogs and features small holes across the entire pouch for personalising with extra charms. The £6 Home Bargains version does measure slightly smaller, being 35cm wide compared to Crocs' 44cm. But shoppers will likely be more than happy to compromise on the more compact bag that is £68 cheaper - and some made their opinions clear online below the Instagram video, who said they were "obsessed". One Home Bargains fan said: "Ooooh I sense a new viral must have!" Another added: "No because why do I actually want the white one!" A third wrote: "They are actually pretty good beach bags!" Someone else commented: "They are going to be everywhere now!" Some were getting a wave of nostalgia, with a fifth adding: "It's an 80's Jelly bag [alternative]!" Another mentioned: "I had one similar in early 80s for school!" And one more added: "These remind me of my Jelly bag from the 80s too!" In other Home Bargains news, fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of autumn - even though it is just the first day of August. The discount store sent shoppers into a frenzy online by teasing their seasonal range that's "coming soon" with some having a focus on the popular Gilmore Girls show. Home Bargains is not alone in embracing the upcoming cooler season. Primark recently caught attention online for introducing some pumpkins to shop shelves - as did B&M with its slow and subtle touches of autumn amongst paddling pools and summer essentials.
