B&M's 'massive' new £12 outdoor candle helps 'repel mosquitoes'
Shoppers looking to banish mosquitoes from their garden might like B&M's 'massive' candle With more warm weather on the way, plenty of Brits will be enjoying the sunshine in their gardens. Unfortunately, the summer months also see some gardens flooded with mosquitoes, leading to an increase in itchy bites. Many shoppers invest in citronella products, hoping to help ward off insects. The Spruce explains: "Citronella candles are moderately effective at repelling mosquitoes but only in the immediate area surrounding the candle. The closer you are to the candle, the less you will be the victim of a mosquito bite." As such, homeowners are advised not to rely solely on the products: "You should think of citronella products, including tiki torches, as just one layer of protection against mosquitoes. Citronella candles do not keep mosquitoes out of your yard and they do nothing to prevent mosquitoes from multiplying." Nonetheless, they're popular with shoppers who often use the candles alongside other measures, such as bug repellent. One option could be B&M's new "massive" £12 candle. The candle certainly impressed one shopper who showcased the candle on a Facebook page for 'Bargain Lovers'. The post said: "Massive citronella scented glass candle spotted at B&M." As seen in the post, the Paradiso candle is purple in colour, and it is citronella scented. The product tag says it has 120 hours of burn time, and it is for outdoor use only. Replying to the post, someone praised: "I need to get one of these." A keen shopper said: "I like this." Another wrote: "This is nice," and the friend they tagged agreed, writing: "That is nice." While the candle is not currently available on B&M's website, there is another option. For £1, there's a Mini Glass Citronella Candle With Cork Lid, available in white or yellow. The product description says: "This useful Mini Glass Citronella Candle With Cork Lid is a must have for your garden this summer. Keeps away irritating bugs and insects. Part of the Simply Garden trend." Elsewhere, Home Bargains offers a selection of citronella products, including candles and reed diffusers. For instance, there's a £9.99 The Outdoor Edit Earthed Long Wooden Citronella Candle. The product description says: "Light up your outdoor space with The Outdoor Edit Earthed Long Wooden Citronella Candle! This charming wooden candle not only adds rustic flair but also keeps those pesky mosquitoes at bay, making your evenings more enjoyable." There's also a £7.99 The Outdoor Edit Citronella Ceramic Candle Jar, £1.99 The Outdoor Living Collection Torch Citronella Candle, £1.49 Citronella Tealights 24 Pack, and £1.99 The Outdoor Living Citronella Reed Diffuser 100ml. The product description for the diffuser says: "Transform your space with The Outdoor Living Citronella Reed Diffuser! This 100ml beauty not only fills the air with a refreshing citrusy scent but also helps keep pesky insects at bay, making it perfect for any indoor or outdoor setting."

Shoppers say the accessories add a touch of 'summer sunshine' to their spaces Interior design enthusiasts are embracing the cheerful spirit of spring with the latest home decor trends that bring a burst of colour and whimsy to their living spaces. This season's must-have items include enchanting hot air balloon lights and adorable garden characters, adding a touch of fun and vibrancy just in time for the warmer weather. Also creating a buzz amongst shoppers are vibrant wreaths that adorn doors with style and elegance. Earlier in the year, Home Bargains impressed its customers with an affordable £9.99 floral wreath. Now, those who missed out have another opportunity to beautify their entryways with equally attractive faux fruit wreaths, making waves this season. In a release announcing the arrival of this "stunning" new decoration, available in two distinct designs, each priced at £9.99, Home Bargains introduced The Outdoor Edit Mediterranean Orange Wreath and The Outdoor Edit Mediterranean Lemon Wreath. Whether one has a penchant for citruses or sun-kissed lemons, these wreaths promise to "add a touch of summer sunshine" to any home, as expressed by the retailer. The product description highlights the exquisite craftsmanship of the wreaths: "This stunning faux foliage creation, adorned with vibrant fruit, is perfect for indoor or outdoor use (...) Add a touch of summer sunshine to your home with our Mediterranean Wreath!", reports the Mirror. Decorated with lush faux foliage and vivid fruits, the wreaths capture the essence of the spring and summer seasons. They are recommended for styling behind doors or as a kitchen statement piece, embodying the seasonal feel with their textured charm. The Mediterranean-inspired decor has been a hit with shoppers. Blogger Liyana Lifestyle highlighted the orange wreath in a product round-up on her Instagram after a recent trip to a Home Bargains store. She also featured some of the wreaths and similar decorations available in stores in one of her popular YouTube videos. Liyana spotted "really nice" heart-shaped wreaths, with red, white, and purple options available. Sadly, not all of the heart wreaths seem to be available on Home Bargains' website at this time. However, both the orange and lemon wreaths can be bought online. Alternatively, shoppers who are keen on fruit-themed decor might prefer similar designs from different retailers. For instance, Robert Dyas sells an OHS Home Artificial Hanging Orange Wreath for £19.99. With faux oranges and orange blossom, the wreath is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Debenhams also offers an OHS Orange Wreath for £11.99, reduced from £31.99. The product description reads: "The OHS Orange Wreath brings a burst of citrus-inspired charm to your home decor. "With vibrant orange oranges paired with lush green leaves, this wreath captures the bright, fresh essence of a sunny orchard. "Perfect for welcoming guests at the front door or adding a lively touch to any room, this wreath provides a long-lasting and maintenance-free option to brighten up your space."
