Thrilled with her affordable find, Catherine Jacinto Dela Cruz took to social media to alert others to the purse-friendly set, leaving many totally stunned.

It won't burn a hole in your wallet either, as it's priced at just £19.99, which we think is a real steal.
Holiday packing tips
Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday.
1. Write a list
Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase.
Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack.
2. Involve your kids
Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list.
'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.'
3. Try a hack or two
She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip.
"Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver.
'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes.
"These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked.
"I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived."
4. Decant beauty products
Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller.
Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive.
5. Get organised before you come home
Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes.
'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person.
"Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."
And it's clear that Facebook users were left beaming with the high-street find, as Catherine's post has quickly racked up 121 likes and 72 comments.
One person said: 'I got one of them for my son and he loved it.'
Another added: 'That looks good.'
Meanwhile, a third tagged a friend and commented: 'If you see this, let me know.'
Not only this, but one parent mentioned a loved one and beamed: 'I want these for the kids!'

EasyJet completes huge rollout of new software in bid to improve efficiency

EasyJet has completed the installation of new navigation software on 54 aircraft, designed to enhance collaboration with air traffic control (ATC) and improve flight efficiency. The UK's largest airline stated the Future Air Navigation System-C (FANS-C) shares real-time aircraft trajectory information with ATC providers, enabling more efficient route calculations. This innovative system also allows controllers to relay instructions, such as "climb to 36,000 feet," via text rather than radio, thereby minimising misunderstandings and potential hold-ups. EasyJet said it has retrofitted the programme on all 54 of its A320 and A321 neo family planes. The carrier's new jets rolling off the Airbus assembly line are equipped with the technology as standard. EasyJet said the software has saved it 334 tonnes of fuel since it began using it in 2019. It said last month French ATC disruption was responsible for the majority of its delays this summer. David Morgan, chief operating officer at easyJet, said: 'Technologies like Fans-C are not only essential for the modernisation of airspace, they will be critical in helping deliver meaningful reductions in fuel, carbon emissions and noise pollution. 'To maximise the potential of these technologies, it's critical that airspace reform is finally delivered, and this means more direct routes to help reduce congestion and delays. 'The UK Government has taken positive steps to redesign UK airspace – we now need those plans delivered swiftly here and across Europe so we can properly harness these technologies and capitalise on the environmental benefits they will deliver.' The Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority are establishing a group of aviation experts to work with UK airports on modernising airspace. It is hoped this UK Airspace Design Service will launch by the end of the year. A radar-related issue was blamed for a UK ATC failure by provider Nats on July 30 which forced the cancellation of more than 150 flights, disrupting thousands of passengers.

I tested the new air fryer suitcase to see how practical it really is - this is how much I could fit in

There's an unusual travel essential Brits are refusing to leave behind on their holidays this summer - and no, it's not SPF or a passport wallet. According to new research, chips-obsessed Brits are taking their air fryers international – with one in five saying they've taken their favourite appliance away with them on holiday. Another one in five even claim to have removed clothes or toiletries in their suitcase just to make room for their bulky cooking gadget, while nearly a quarter of 25–34-year-olds admit to paying for extra baggage just to bring one abroad. And with 27 per cent of all Brits saying they'd take an air fryer on holiday if it were easier to transport, it's clear the kitchen staple is becoming a packing priority. Now, online electricals retailer AO has created a solution - the Frequent Fryer suitcase. The first-of-its-kind suitcase is crafted from brushed aluminium and finished with a transparent front panel perfectly moulded to fit a standard single drawer air fryer – handle and all. I was one of the first in the world to get my hands on this limited-edition suitcase, and tested it out to see just how practical it is. Spoiler alert: not in the slightest! While this suitcase may fit within airport luggage regulations, it's very clear immediately that this bulky thing is going to have to go in the hold if I'm taking it abroad. It's definitely too big to fit under the seat in front and, due to the air-fryer-shaped lid, there's no way this bad boy is getting in that overhead locker either. But the real test for this suitcase was how much I was going to be able to fit into it around the 4-litre Russell Hobbs 27160 SatisFry. Spoiler alert: not much! No matter how hard I tried, my Birkenstock sandals were an instant no-go, so I didn't even bother trying to get my trainers in. I managed to pack my pyjamas, a couple of pairs of knickers (and could probably have packed a load more) as well as two small tops, and a pair of denim shorts – just enough for two days. But when it came to my toiletries, I was forced to remove them from the clear case I always carry my minis in when I go abroad. Instead, I had to scatter them about the suitcase – risking them leaking on my clothes and, more importantly, the air fryer. It's available to buy on AO's TikTok shop from tomorrow, Tuesday 19th August, at 12pm When it came to the actual air fryer, it cooked my chips in minutes, and perfectly – and all it took was me pressing an automatic chips function on the front of the gadget. But once I wanted to pack my air fryer back in the suitcase, I quickly realised another disastrous problem with this invention – all my clothes were now about to stink of chips. I can't say I'm sold on the Frequent Fryer case – but if you really can't be without your beloved air fryer for a couple of days, you can buy one on AO's TikTok shop from tomorrow, Tuesday 19th August, at 12pm.

Flight attendant reveals the holiday hotspot with the worst passengers: 'It was just absolute chaos'

Life as a flight attendant isn't all glamorous stopovers and perfectly packed luggage. Frequently, it involves calming down mid-air meltdowns and handling passengers who've had one (or more) too many before take-off. One flight attendant has shared a harrowing story of an altercation that took place at 30,000 feet – declaring it the most traumatic flight of her career. It involved three groups on stag dos – outnumbering the four members of cabin crew. 'It was just absolute chaos, they were screaming,' 32-year-old Kristina Galvydyte told The Telegraph. 'Imagine a night out in any British town at midnight on a Friday. It was like that.' Of course, this wasn't a post-boozing brawl spilling out of a pub – it was mid-flight, on the way from Edinburgh to Alicante, in southeastern Spain. She shared that one group on board became 'verbally abusive' after cracking into their duty-free drinks – something that is prohibited. Following this, a fracas began when another group 'took offence', according to The Telegraph. Kristina witnessed her colleague stand between the groups while she was calling for assistance from the cockpit. And although the intervention worked, tension was high for the remainder of the flight. Police boarded the aircraft when it landed in Spain. 'It was the worst flight I ever had,' said Kristina. The incidents staff are forced to deal with are driving many to leave the industry. Ms Galvydyte worked for a UK-based airline – which she has not named – before quitting three years ago. She revealed that a friend still in the role wants a change, blaming 'the behaviour of passengers'. This incident from 2024 is an example of those that cabin crew are forced to deal with – and often police get involved when the flight lands And it's not surprising. Other unsavoury incidents she shared include being vomited on after a woman who'd drunk beer and taken medication vomited across her. Another time, a drunk passenger asked her to strip. She remembers colleagues working on a flight where a passenger overdosed from taking cocaine – which left staff traumatised and in need of compassionate leave. Flights to certain destinations are worse than others for disruptive behaviour, says Kristina, who lists Ibiza, the Canary Islands (Tenerife in particular) and Turkey as having potential for 'horrendous' shifts. And she adds that women can be just as bad as men: 'They target your appearance, your accent – they observe you. It was a woman who made me cry.'
