Nevertheless, consumers declare their Amazon garden light purchases a success, stating: "I bought these so that we'd have something that looks pretty and lights up where our steps are in the garden.

Amazon's solar lights that 'look like real flowers' are the 'ideal way to add colour' to your garden
Solar powered lights cost nothing to run, and shoppers are hailing these realistic looking flower-shaped solar lights ideal for adding colour to your garden on a budget As the weather begins to warm up, solar-powered lights are becoming an increasingly popular choice as they don't require any complex electrical installation and cost nothing to operate. Amazon shoppers have discovered an 'ideal way to add colour into the garden', choosing ' attractive solar delphinums ' that automatically twinkle with fairy lights as night falls. Each pack includes two flower lights, available for £17.99. They come with sturdy garden stakes that help prevent them from tipping or being blown over. According to Amazon customers, the lights are 'well made' and 'look like natural plants'. This makes them a subtle addition to the garden, blending in seamlessly whether it's day or night. When fully charged, they can illuminate for 10 to 12 hours continuously. Dunelm also offers a charming range of garden lighting. The Sophie Robinson LED Outdoor String Solar Lights are priced at £25, with shoppers saying they 'love them sparkling in the garden at night time'. Over at Lights4fun, a set of three flower-shaped LED Solar Stake Lights can be picked up for £29.99. Amazon's Floral Solar Garden Lights are also available for £17.99. These solar lights add a soft, romantic glow wherever they're placed whether along pathways, nestled among greenery, or even as a focal point on a balcony or patio. Many reviewers note they are weather-resistant, including one who shared: "Came across these beautiful flower-shaped solar lights and bought them recently. "It is very easy to install and works perfectly fine. Looks pretty in the garden as if it is real flowers. Solar component charges well and it lasts longer than expected. The lights glow brighter and nicer. It withstood several rains so far but have to wait and see for its longevity." Another satisfied customer wrote: "Pretty set of two lights in the shape of delphinium flowers. Each light has its own solar panel that flips down from its ground stake pole so they can be placed anywhere in the garden, reports the Express. "The solar panel gets charged up easily by sun light, even on overcast cloudy days it absorbs enough energy to power the lights during the evening and nights. There are little LED fairy lights, which light up in a choice of steady or flickering lights to enhance the purple colour of the artificial flower design. I like that the lights come on automatically after dark so I don't have to remember to turn them on each day." Still, not everyone was sold on the price point, with one reviewer commenting: "I think that what they are could be cheaper." However, another five-star review offered high praise: "Absolutely love these solar delphinium lights. They add such a lovely touch of colour to the garden, even in the daytime. "At night, they light up beautifully and last for hours after a full day's sun. Very easy to set up and they've held up well in the rain. I've placed them near a small memorial space and they bring a really peaceful glow. Highly recommend."

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