I took a risk & ordered a pushchair from Shein – it's half the price of a popular pram, looks fancy & is easy to unfold
A BARGAIN hunter has revealed that she took a risk and ordered a pushchair from Shein. Clara, a first time mum and self-proclaimed ' Shein addict,' claimed that not only is the travel pram super easy to unfold, but it looks incredibly fancy too. 3 3 And to top it all off, it's perfect for those on a budget, as it's super affordable and half the price of a very popular travel pram that's loved by many mums around the country. Posting on social media, the mum-of-one proudly showed off her latest Shein purchase, leaving many gobsmacked. As she held up her Shein pram, which has a one-hand fold, she wrote: 'Just a girl with her Shein stroller.' Clara then added: 'Only £70 yes please.' Not only this, but she also confirmed: 'My son loves it, I love it.' The savvy mum's Lightweight & Compact Travel Stroller was once £103.28, but is now just £75.48. She claimed that it's great for 'easy travels ' and is very 'fancy.' She praised its 'great cover for the sun ' and was impressed with the peek-a-boo window which provides 'extra air flow for those hot days.' Not only does the pushchair have an adjustable seat and footrest, but it also comes complete with a mosquito net and a rain cover too. Underneath, it has a large storage basket, and it's even got four shock absorbing wheels and swivel front wheels too. I was horrified when I realised the £5 Shein pencil cases I bought for my kids contained hidden knives It is said to be suitable for newborns to children aged 36 months, with a maximum load of 15kg. Clearly overjoyed with her bargain buy, which is strikingly similar and £74.52 cheaper than the popular Joie Baby Pact Pro Stroller, which was once £200 but is now £150 from John Lewis, Clara described the Shein pram as her 'best purchase.' Her TikTok clip, which was uploaded under the username @ claramiceli132, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 474,600 views, 21,400 likes and 204 comments. Social media users were gobsmacked with Clara's Shein buy and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'It's actually really nice! Was not expecting that.' What is Shein and is it legit? Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world. The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M. The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu. Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam. But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews. There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag. Another added: 'You took one for the team on this and I love you for it.' A third commented: 'You're the hero we all needed. God bless you queen.' Meanwhile, someone else asked: 'Have you taken the little one out in it to see if it's sturdy?' I had this four years ago to take on holiday - it's the best stroller I've ever bought TikTok user In response, Clara wrote back and confirmed: 'Yes, gone out three times so far and it's great! If you're living in the UK, you know what the roads are like.' At the same time, one mum gasped: 'You are telling me that I paid €700 for the Joolz Aer+ stroller just because of the folding option when I could have just bought one from Shein??' To this, Clara responded with a crying emoji and simply said: 'Yes.' And it's clear that it's not just Clara who was happy with this Shein buy, as one mother beamed: 'I had this four years ago to take on holiday - it's the best stroller I've ever bought and still have it now in my car boot.'

I swear by a £12 buy from Dunelm to make your home look bigger – it's renter-friendly and my hack avoids a DIY disaster
A DIY enthusiast has shared a super simple and affordable trick to make any room in your home look bigger. So if you've got a small pad but are on a mission to give it a glow up, then you've come to the right place. 2 And don't worry if you don't own the property, as this handy hack is renter-friendly, with limited damage to walls. Posting on social media, a DIY guru who posts under the username 'Home Embrace', regularly shares tips and tricks to transform properties without having to break the bank. In one clip, the content creator explained how creating a DIY mirror wall will not only add style to a space, but will make it look bigger too. The DIY fan used a £12 Dunelm buy for this simple project, which was one of her first overhauls after moving into her home. Sharing her renovation idea, which gave her dining room an impressive overhaul whilst on a budget, the savvy woman uploaded her clip with the caption 'This was one of my first DIY projects when I moved in. Not only does it look great but it made the room [look] bigger.' The bargain hunter then acknowledged that her hack cost her just £60 in total, as she reflected: 'Now, my wall was looking really, really bland and it was time for an upgrade, so I got these over the door mirrors from Dunelm and also these command strips because these walls are freshly plastered, but this is also the perfect renter-friendly hack. 'Now, after everything was up, I absolutely loved it.' However, the young woman explained that you must follow her advice to avoid a DIY disaster, as she stressed: 'But, if you wanna know whether the command strips are actually strong enough for the hold - this fell down about a year later.' As a result, she added: 'The main tip here is that you need to leave the command strips up for 24 hours before putting the mirror on.' Showing off the finished result, the woman beamed: 'Once you do that, you'll find that it lasts and since then, I've had no issues.' I found a £150 mirror for £27 in HomeSense - it transformed my room (1) As well as her DIY mirror display, the woman also gave the wall a fresh lick of paint, using the shade Pale Olive in a matte finish from Homebase. What was once a plain white wall has since been totally transformed and we think it looks fabulous. DIY fans beam And it's clear that many others do too, as the TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ home_embrace, has quickly racked up 56,500 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 827 likes, 24 comments and 466 saves. DIY fans were impressed with the straightforward and effective hack and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts. One person said: 'This is stunning.' Another added: 'I'm glad I found this today!'

At $150 off, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is the stylus-powered phone to get on a budget
Motorola may have a new stylus-powered phone in the form of the latest Moto G Stylus 5G (2025), but if you're a bargain hunter looking to score a great deal on a phone with a built-in pen, you'll likely go for its predecessor instead. We agree it sounds a bit odd to choose the previous model instead of the more refined, newer generation, but as deal hunters, we care more about the price-to-value ratio and are often willing to pick an older device if it's the better buy. In the case of the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024), we believe it fits the bill perfectly. $150 off (38%) Amazon has knocked $150 off the stylish Moto G Stylus 5G (2024), bringing its price down to just below $250. With dependable performance and a vibrant display, this deal offers excellent value. Don't wait—save while you can! Buy at Amazon Since it's an older device, you can often find it at great discounts at retailers like Amazon. In fact, it's currently $150 off there, meaning you can get this capable device for just under $250. That's a pretty awesome deal if you ask us. After all, the mid-range Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset and 8GB of RAM are still enough for our friend here to deliver reliable performance and handle daily tasks with ease. On top of that, its 6.7-inch pOLED screen offers a 2400 x 1080 resolution, providing a pleasant viewing experience without breaking the bank. And although it's not among the best camera phones, its 50MP main sensor still captures good-looking photos with vibrant colors. The main drawback of the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is, sadly, Motorola's weak update policy. It should receive Android 15, but that's where major OS updates stop. On the positive side, the phone is expected to get security patches through 2027. So, if not rocking Android 16 and beyond isn't an issue for you, don't hesitate — grab this stylus-powered phone at a great price today! Switch to a 2-month Total 5G or 5G+ plan with Total Wireless and score this foldable deal. We may earn a commission if you make a purchase Check Out The Offer
