One homeowner has shown off her haul proving that you don't need a huge budget to transform your living space. 3 B&M's homeware is being praised for how chic it looks Credit: Alamy 3 A woman shared a video on TikTok showing off her latest haul Credit: tiktok/@reynoldsresidence It seems B&M is stepping up its game, offering chic pieces that give that modern aesthetic touch to your home. The homeowner, who is known as 'reynoldsresidence' on TikTok, shared her top picks she found at her local B&M store. She managed to get her hands on a small, ribbed candle in a speckled cup, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to shelves or coffee tables. She also discovered a wonderfully soft throw, priced at just a tenner, that "honestly feels like cashmere." Its two-tone, wave design makes it a versatile piece for draping over a sofa or adding comfort to a bedroom. Another standout find was a small woven basket, a mere £4, which she plans to use for flannels in her new bathroom. She also raved about a textured, cement-like decor piece for £5, suggesting it's ideal for holding a small candle and praising its "rugged and kind of neutral vibes." Candles and diffusers were clearly a focus, with the TikToker picking up a ceramic jar candle for £5, noting its "luxury on a budget" feel, and a glass candle and matching diffuser with striking white and brown stripes, each just £4. However, the "piece de resistance" of her haul was a statement lamp, costing £20. The lamp, with its neutral shade, textured base, and waved design, perfectly fit the bill. I restored a tatty £80 sofa I got on Facebook - trolls say it looked better before but they need to trust the process Shared on 5 June, the video from @reynoldsresidence has already amassed over 264,800 views and 96 comments as many people rush to share their thoughts. One wrote: 'There's bits in here that will give the expensive vibe and bits that shout B&M. 'The blanket and the basket shout B&M. 'No expensive house would have a star shaped basket or a pattern on the blanket. Plus that label on the candle shouts B&M.' A second added: 'Everything looks lovely! Not everyone can afford Zara.' 3 Loved that it looked similar to the Zara Home collection Credit: tiktok/@reynoldsresidence And a third commented: 'Loved the haul, definitely taking a look in my B&M tomorrow.' B&M has just dropped its new "Quiet Luxury" homeware range, and it includes a highly anticipated Stanley cup dupe among other chic finds. Perfect for kitting out your kitchen or grabbing stylish essentials for days in the office, the range offers sophisticated designs at budget-friendly prices. You can pick up a lowball glass with a 3D pink bow in the base for just £3. To complete the look, a set of six glass drinking straws, also featuring a bow detail and coming with a cleaning brush, is available for the same price. For those on the go, a glass travel mug with a bow pattern, reminiscent of the trendy Stanley cups, can be yours for just £3.

Why the latest Messi Stanley collab is smarter than it looks
Lionel Messi isn't just a soccer player. He's a global icon with a fan base that spans generations, borders, and social platforms. The kind of cultural pull most brands could only dream of tapping into. From Argentina to Miami, Messi moves with a level of influence that's hard to quantify. Whether it's a sold-out stadium or a social media post, he doesn't just play - he shifts entire conversations. He's the most-followed athlete on Instagram, with over 500 million followers, and one of the most endorsed names in sports history. And unlike many athletes, his appeal isn't divisive. Related: Stanley cup fans won't want to miss what just launched Messi is seen as a quiet, consistent, hard-working legend - a player who lets his performance speak louder than his presence. When you collaborate with Messi, you don't just get clicks. You get culture. You get family households, World Cup diehards, Gen Z hype, and international fans who treat his jersey like sacred cloth. So while Stanley cup loyalists are raising eyebrows, Messi fans are ready to click "add to cart" before anything even goes on sale. The brand officially announced the Messi x Stanley 1913 Striker Blue collection on July 14, with the global launch set for July 22. everyone is impressed. When the first photos of the Messi x Stanley 1913 Striker Blue collection hit the internet, Stanley fans, especially the cup-obsessed TikTok crowd, were quick to voice their disappointment. On Reddit, criticism came quickly. u/onedisneylover said, "Total pass for me." Another user, u/Dora_Xplorer, wrote, "It's a hard pass since I don't care about soccer/Messi at all." Some criticized the aesthetic, saying the blue-and-gold lightning bolt design felt out of place. Many missed the brand's signature neutrals. Related: Walmart and Nike: the collab no one asked for For a brand built on clean lines and cozy vibes, this collab landed like a curveball. But it wasn't all negative. u/Em086 chimed in: "That blue and gold combo is gorgeous." And u/recyclethatusername added, "Well, my 11 year old is hyped." Still, the disconnect is real. This drop wasn't built for teachers lining up at Target or influencers building aesthetic pantries. It's for Messi fans: young, global, and sports-driven. This is Stanley's second collaboration with Lionel Messi, but it's more than just a repeat. It's a clear sign the brand is shifting from viral cup craze to long-term cultural player. By partnering again with one of the most influential athletes on the planet, Stanley is making a strategic play to reach a new kind of customer: younger, international, and sports-minded. It's a deliberate pivot that expands their identity beyond pastels and pantry aesthetics. More Retail: Ulta Beauty makes surprise huge expansionNike eliminating some classic sneaker modelsLululemon's pricing change sends an ominous sign The Striker Blue collection isn't just a bold design choice. It's a signal that Stanley wants to live in locker rooms, stadium sidelines, and morning just in the hands of influencers. From the Mate Mug to the Flip Straw Tumbler, every item in this collection speaks to movement, mindset, and daily performance. And by rooting the drop in Messi's Argentinian heritage and lifestyle, the brand adds a layer of authenticity many product collabs miss. This is the same brand that evolved from rugged camping gear to TikTok must-have. Now, it's setting its sights on becoming a global lifestyle brand, one where performance and culture go hand-in-hand. Stanley isn't just riding a trend - it's playing the long game.

'Get this shit the f**k off my Screen!': NHL fans rip Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's screen time during Stanley Cup final
Photo byThursday night's Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final was supposed to be all about the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. But when pop icon Taylor Swift and her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce showed up at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, the spotlight quickly shifted. With the couple shown multiple times on the broadcast—including right after a key Panthers goal—viewers grew increasingly irritated. For many NHL fans, the constant celebrity focus felt like a distraction from the high-stakes hockey on the ice, and social media backlash followed swiftly. 'Football was enough'—NHL fans snap as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hijack Game 4 spotlight When Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk scored a power play goal during the game, TNT's cameras immediately cut to Swift and Kelce in the crowd. Taylor Swift was seen celebrating, while Travis Kelce high-fived a nearby fan. The timing of the shot—and the repeated cutaways that followed—sparked a wave of frustration from fans watching at home. 'First goal in a Stanley cup game and the first thing you pan to is TAYLOR SWIFT IN THE CROWD??? Get this shit the F*******K off my screen,' one furious viewer ranted online, capturing the sheer frustration felt by fans who tuned in for playoff intensity—not pop culture cameos. 'Every other scene is either a Florida goal or Taylor on TV,' another fan posted, pointing out how frequently the camera kept returning to the couple—even during crucial game moments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The couple was even seen spending time with hockey royalty—Wayne Gretzky—which only added to their screen presence. Earlier in the evening, a helicopter was spotted flying above the arena before puck drop. According to a report by WPTV-5, it hinted that a high-profile guest might be in attendance. But few expected Swift and Kelce to dominate the visuals throughout the night. 'Get her away from the game,' one hockey fan posted online, clearly tired of the off-ice distractions. Some viewers, especially in Canada, were even more direct in their criticisms—calling out Sportsnet for what they felt was excessive coverage of celebrities rather than the action on the rink. 'Sportsnet, do you actually think NHL fans want to see these two overexposed celebrities?' a viewer wrote. 'Football was enough, now As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dominated the broadcast, NHL fans called for more hockey, less Hollywood The Stanley Cup Final is the biggest stage in hockey, and for many fans, it's sacred. While celebrity appearances aren't unusual in sports, Thursday night's coverage crossed a line for viewers who felt the game was being upstaged by off-ice star power. As social media lit up with complaints, the message was loud and clear: fans came to see goals, hits, and saves—not Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on repeat.
