It’s not really an exaggeration to say that people go mad for hanging egg chairs.
As many shoppers and interiors enthusiasts will know, whether it be Aldi’s Rattan Hanging EggChair – which has been seen in the homes of cleaning influencer Mrs Hinch and Stacey Solomon, and is no doubt one of the budget supermarket chain’s best-selling items – or in this case, B&M’s equally-popular version Siena Hanging Egg Chair, these unique chairs are near impossible to get your hands on and often end up selling out, both online and in store.
When they do come back in stock, they usually get snapped up within minutes too, which is proven by the fact that the Siena Hanging Egg Chair is out-of-stock on the B&M website.
But if you’ve not had much luck in securing the best seat in the house for yourself before, at least now your cat can, as B&M as has today announced that it’s launching a Rattan Effect Pet Egg Chair.
Teasing the launch of the new feline egg chair in a post of its social media accounts this morning, B&M said: “You’re all fans of our sell-out egg chair, so now we’ve launched a new version…. for cats.

“This rattan effect egg chair is in stores soon (some lucky people have already picked one up) so don’t miss out.”
The chair is already proving popular with budget shoppers online, having racked up thousands of interactions and comments in only a few hours after being shared on social media, so it looks like plenty of people are looking to treat their feline friends this Christmas.

The Rattan Effect Pet Egg Chair will only set you back £55.
B&M’s cat egg chair comes after also Aldi released a feline version of its viral egg chair all the way back in May.
The chair doesn’t currently appear to be listed on B&M’s website as of yet, and according to the retailer, hasn’t actually launched in store either even though some people have already got their hands on it, so you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled.
Don’t forget to be on the look-out on the B&M website, in your local branch, and also keep an eye on social media for more updates.
KFC have launched their own perfume – oh, and a new burger
Danny Jones
Fast food giants KFC have launched their very own perfume in one of the weirdest marketing stunts we’ve seen in a long while.
That being said, we definitely want a bottle.
KFC‘s fried chicken-themed fragrance launches next month and is fashionably named ‘No 11 Eau de BBQ’, a nod to their newest menu item, the Ultimate BBQ Burger, which we also want in our possession as soon as humanly possible.
The franchise’s new signature scent launches in just a week’s time and, yes, you can genuinely buy it along with the new burger for a limited time only.
The UK-only release actually sold out when it came to pre-orders but Brits will be able to get their hands on another batch when the second lot drops on 7 May.
Promising a charcoal and smoky wood-scented aroma that immediately transports you to your mate’s back garden as he turns cheap burger patties into overly blackened dry pucks of meat that you definitely would’ve cooked better if you were in charge, the stunt is also helping raise money for non-profits.
Available in 100ml bottles and for just £11, 100% of the proceeds of every sale will go towards the KFC Foundation, which supports grassroots organisations empowering young people to unleash their potential and build a positive future in local communities across the country.
As for the burger that inspired it, the special edition menu item is a nod to BBQ season gradually approaching and they’ve even made a nod to our famously reliable British weather and its attempts to derail the art of outdoor grilling in a new advert.
KFC perfume and a new burger? Christmas has come well early this year.
The Ultimate BBQ Burger has already launched and will be on the menu until 9 June, priced at £6.49 or £9.99 for a box meal which comes with the burger, a regular mini fillet, regular fries, BBQ sauce and a drink.
And don’t worry, it’ll be available on delivery too — we know we’ve had problems with that when it comes to specials in the past.
As KFC’s No 11 Eau de BBQ perfume, you can wait in the online queue like everyone else HERE and let’s just say you’ll be fighting us and plenty of other Mancs for every last drop.
River Island reopens Manchester Arndale store – and it’s unrecognisable
Daisy Jackson
River Island in the Manchester Arndale shopping centre is ready to reopen after a major makeover, and it’s bigger than ever.
The stunning space now spans 13,947 square feet and comes with interactive fitting rooms where you can order extra sizes on an iPad, self-checkouts, and a limited-edition collection exclusive to the Arndale.
The huge shop’s refurb follows a similar move at their Trafford Centre store, where River Island moved into the former Topshop unit.
Now, the three-storey store in the heart of the Arndale has been given a lick of duck-egg blue, and transformed into a beachy paradise.
Officially throwing its doors open this morning, Thursday 25 April, with Lucy Mecklenburgh cutting the ribbon, the huge shop is already welcoming hordes of shoppers.
Over the weekend, you’ll spot plenty of activations to celebrate River Island’s relaunch.
There are people carrying gigantic shopping bags handing out scratch cards with different discounts on, a Spin the Wheel with prizes, free coffees, a pop-up flower cart and loads more.
And the first people to spend more than £55 on each day between 25 and 28 April will receive a limited-edition tote bag.
