Dunelm shoppers are obsessed with new £39 parasol that's perfect for the heatwave

Daily Mirror27-04-2025

Dunelm's latest release, a stunning 2.7m Cream Crank Parasol, is causing quite the stir among shoppers just in time for the forecasted heatwave. It's perfect for those lazy, sun-drenched garden days and features a lush cream palette with sleek black accents, all neatly crowned with a user-friendly crank handle to make setting up your slice of shade a breeze.
Saying goodbye to complicated setups, customers are loving how"easy to put up and down" the parasol is, not to mention its luxurious look that seems straight out of a "Mediterranean" escape.
It's worth noting that additional weights are needed to keep it steady—they are not included, but don't fret, Dunelm conveniently sells a Set of 2 Leanover Quarter Parasol Water Weights for a reasonable £35.
With summer on the horizon, this parasol has become a hot commodity online. It boasts over 150 positive reviews and earns an impressive 4.7-star average.
One satisfied customer shared their excitement: "As the sun is now starting to appear I decided to invest in a parasol for the coming months. This is exactly what I was after at a great price too. I ordered the cream. Highly recommended.", reports the Mirror.
And in their glowing five-star feedback, another purchaser enthused: "I love this! Its large, so easy to put up and down, and fits perfectly in my garden giving me privacy and shade. Excellent value for money in my opinion.", as noted by the Liverpool Echo.
One happy customer gushed, "Super parasol, chic and Mediterranean look. Excellent parasol. Easy crank to put up, also with tilt. Really attractive in cream. Looks stylish."
Another chimed in with their approval, stating, "Great umbrella, lovely colour, great size looks very Mediterranean."
However, not everyone was as pleased, with one shopper giving it a three-star rating and remarking: "It's a good size, but the handle to wind it up doesn't work."
If you're looking for alternatives, Dunelm has the Sophie Robinson Block Print 2.45m Parasol on offer for £79, featuring a fringe detail and floral pattern, plus a two-side tilt function for perfect shading.

Sainsbury's drops designer-looking 'Mamma Mia' clothing range from £5 for summer

Mamma Mia! fans may want to take a trip to Sainsbury's, where the new summer collection blends Grecian tones with floaty silhouettes Though a new Mamma Mia! is not officially confirmed yet, there are strong rumours of its production currently underway. So if the excitement of a third film has got you feeling all summery, you may want to take a trip down to Sainsbury's to get your wardrobe ready for the trip (virtual or otherwise) to Greece. With prices starting from £5, there's something for everyone. And though the full summer range at TU isn't all blues, whites and floaty shapes, we've spotted plenty of pieces that feel like they were grabbed straight from Amanda Seyfried or Meryl Streep's Mamma Mia! wardrobes. Here, our fashion team has found the Grecian-inspired gems from the new-in section... What to shop from Sainsbury's TU summer collection Blue Textured Plunge Swimsuit Shop it for £16 With its flattering plunge neckline and on-trend textured finish, this one-piece is designed to turn heads (poolside or beachside). Crafted with added stretch for all-day comfort, it's the ultimate holiday hero – just add oversized sunnies and a spritz in hand! Floral Linen Look Co-ord Shorts Shop them for £18 Made from pure cotton in a luxe linen-look fabric, they're designed with a relaxed elasticated waist and drawstring fastening for ultimate comfort. The delicate blue floral print adds a touch of elegance, making them perfect for sunny strolls or seaside lunches. Pair with the matching co-ord for an island-inspired look. Blue Scuba Scalloped Edge Bikini Shop the top for £10 Shop the matching bottoms for £7 Adjustable straps and a gold-tone clasp at the back keep things comfy and secure, while the matching bottoms complete the sun-ready look.

The launch of the summer collection comes as news hits about how Sainsbury's shoppers could be starting to see the end of an era for a classic supermarket symbol. The retailer is experimenting with new electronic labels to make it easier to change the price and allow staff to remotely update prices via computer, eliminating the need to manually replace traditional paper tickets. As such, you might not see the Sainsbury's logo labels much longer. "We are trialling electronic shelf-edge labels in a small number of our stores," a Sainsbury's spokesperson confirmed to The Grocer. When pressed by the Mirror for more details about the rollout, the chain stated there was "nothing further" to add to what had already been reported.

Coronation Street hunk Adam Rickitt and GMB host wife's new life in Sicily as they splash out on Mediterranean home

FORMER soap hunk Adam Rickitt and his Good Morning Britain star wife Katy have made a huge property investment overseas. The couple have long dreamt of a life in Sicily and now they have made it a reality after remortgaging their UK home and splashing the cash of a Mediterranean holiday home. 6 6 Adam and Katy confirmed last week that they had sealed the deal on snapping up their dream pad in the sun. The 47-year-old revealed it would be their "home from home" with a view to spending an increasing amount of time there. Katy and Adam's main base is in Knutsford, Cheshire with their two dogs but it seems they could be ditching the luxury county for life in the sun full-time if plans come to fruition. Former soap star Adam and his journalist wife have set up their own side hustle in Cheshire but have plans to move the business to Sicily in time. Their craft beer and artisan gin bar called Dexter and Jones has become vital in their lives but they could adapt they sunshine life to include their business. Speaking all about their European dream, Katy wrote on Instagram: "What the hell just happened. We are giddy with excitement! "After a ceremony much like a signing of the wedding register we are the proud owners of a tiny slice of heaven in the island we've come to know as the Happy Place: ortigia! "After years of obsessively binge watching @aplaceinthesunofficial I still never thought I'd be lucky enough to do this, and maybe we are actually crazy as we've remortgaged our own house to do so!" Katy continued: "But we came to the conclusion that life is too short and being able to save up the date nights and escape here when life gives you a breather rather than having to always plan ahead just felt like the ultimate dream … and worth accepting that the bulldogs will always own the only sofa at home for. "We will give you all a proper tour very soon but for now we are off to go and shop for paint and hoovers in the sunshine!! How crazy is that?!!!" Hollyoaks and Coronation Street star Adam Rickitt strips totally naked for charity calendar Adam also spoke about the decision as he wrote online: "We did a thing!! "It's been a lifelong dream to have a Sicilian not not a it is ours!!!" In the accompanying snaps, the celebrity pair showed off some of their brand new home. Adopting a traditional European feel, it was adorned with exposed stone walls and white-wash features. It also came complete with built-in seating areas and a stunning outdoor terrace - perfect for the pair to host their family and A-list pals. 6 6
