Primark has released a new range of festive home products, and there’s one item that’s caught the eye of pet owners across the UK.
Now that December has finally arrived, plenty of eager people up and down the country will be digging out the Christmas decorations and adding some festive cheer to their homes, but just as you wouldn’t forget to put up your tree or hang some fairy lights, we can’t be forgetting our four-legged friends either.
This is why Primark has launched a new Christmas tree-shaped tipi bed for pets.
The retailer’s dedicated home and interiors arm has added a number of new festive items to its range over the past few weeks that’ve been flying off the shelves – but nothing seems to have got budget shoppers and pet owners alike as excited as this.
In just a few hours after sharing, the Instagram post featuring the festive tipi bed began to rack up thousands of interactions and comments, and now, less than 24-hours later, over 22,000 people have liked the post, so it looks like they’ll also be sold out in no time at all.
“I need this so much – the cats won’t use it, but I need this in my house,” one enthusiastic shopper commented.

“So cute,” was a popular comment by others.
The Christmas Gifting Green Tree Teepee Pet Bed will set you back just £12.
This festive tipi bed comes after pet owners went mad on social media yesterday for a feline version of the viral hanging egg chair that’s currently stocked for just £55 at B&M.
Although you can’t buy the Christmas Gifting Green Tree Teepee Pet Bed online, it is listed as new and in stock on the Primark website, however there isn’t much information about it, and sizing isn’t disclosed either, so your best bet is to head to your local Primark store if you want to try and grab one.
Keep your eyes peeled and your fingers crossed if you’re looking to treat your pets this Christmas.
Everything inside the Sephora VIP goodie bags worth more than £1,000

Sephora opening in Manchester has been causing a bit of a stir, with more than 2,000 people queueing up this week to try and nab a free goodie bag.
And while the presents being handed out to the public are pretty impressive, it’s nothing compared to the VIP goodie bags given out at the store’s official launch on Wednesday.
A number of celebrities, influencers, press and other special guests were invited to have a sneak peek of the huge new shop at the Trafford Centre before its official opening to the public.
At the glittering celebration, VIPs were given a glimpse at the huge range of products on offer inside Sephora’s first UK store outside of London.
Those in attendance included actor and TV presenter actor Katie Mcglynn, TV personality Caroline Thomas, actress Alex Fletcher and radio one presenter Natalie O’Leary, Real Housewives of Cheshire, Love Island personalities, and professional footballer Courtney Duffus.
Special guests of Sephora were then sent home with the goodie bag to end all goodie bags, stuffed full of full-sized cult products.
And having totted up the value of everything inside, we can confirm that each goodie bag is worth more than a grand (£1092.93, to be exact). Wowsers.
Viral products inside include Makeup By Mario lipstick, Olaplex, Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, Glossier You perfume, and MorrocanOil hair treatments.
There are also TikTok sensations like the Dr Jart Tiger Grass treatment, which comes out of its tub green but magically turns beige on the skin, cancelling out redness.
And Tarte’s take on the revolutionary tubing mascara, which comes off your lashes with only water and a wipe, was also chucked in.
The most high-value items in the Sephora goodie bags were an Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream worth £64, Caudalie’s brightening serum at £52, and a Neom candle for £38.

Those who consider themselves to be pretty unlucky-in-love can now apply to take part in one of the most “unique” dating shows on TV.
Following the undoubted success of the first series – which has been airing on E4 for the past couple of weeks now, before concluding last Thursday (9 May) – Channel 4 has now put out a nationwide casting call for people to take part in the next series of its newest dating game show, Love Triangle.
And the show’s producers are calling on singletons from Greater Manchester to stick an application in.

Unfamiliar with Love Triangle?
Based off the US and Australian programmes of the same name, the UK version is a so-called “supersized” take on the show, and it seeks to “turn everything you know about dating on its head”.
In what is a first of its kind for UK television, the brand-new relationship format asks six courageous singles to reject all the conventions and pitfalls of modern app-based dating in favour of a “radical” new approach.

The six contestants will first choose a love match from two potential suitors.
One match embodies each single’s usual wants, type, and desires, while the other reflects their deeper and more “fulfilling” romantic needs.
After choosing one of the suitors to date, the other will then make a “shocking surprise return” to form a love triangle, and then, after dating and living with both suitors, each single faces a choice – they must pick one of their matches to “pursue lasting love”.
The casting call for contestants on the Channel 4 website reads: “In this unique relationship series reflecting dating in the real world, unlucky-in-love singles are matched with two potential partners, who each tick different boxes of their wants and needs, in the hopes of finding long-lasting love.”
To apply for the show, you just need to be 18 years of age or older, a resident of the UK, and crucially, single and “looking for love”.
