ARE you loving Winter Love Island? I am more wowed by the amazing villa than the buff contestants.
If January feels a bit dull, here is how to inject some reality TV-inspiration into your home without “mugging off” your finances.
Lazy days: Need something comfy to watch your favourite show on? So it isn’t summer…but you can still kit out your sitting room with brightly coloured beanbags inspired by Love Island.
Kids will love them too. Wowcher has two different sizes and three different colours available from £25 — usually £49.99. They will be useful come summer.
SAVING: £24.99
Cuppa load of this: Those Islanders love a morning cuppa — and if you are anything like me, you have been eyeing up the printed reusable cups they use.
You can grab the eco-friendly bamboo cups, by Cambridge, from Amazon. My favourite is the flamingo print, £10.57 for a set of four — far cheaper than popular Ecoffee bamboo coffee cups, £8.38 each at nisbets.co.uk.
The villa also has a Salter jug kettle, currently £31.99, down from £36.30, on Amazon — to copy their cuppa style.
SAVING: £22.95 on four
Towel-tally worth it: I am loving those personalised Love Island bottles.
But you can also get big, fluffy towels with the same Love Island-inspired monikers.
Grab yours from eBay for £7.99, was £9.99 — cheaper than those sold on etsy.com for £14.99.
SAVING: £7
Light up for less: If you are still missing the glow of your Christmas lights, you can dress up your home with string ones just like those in the Love Island villa.
They are sure to brighten your mood.
Head to Groupon, where you can currently nab four strings of 50 LED solar-powered fairy lights for just £14.99, usually £59.96. Bargain.
SAVING: £44.97
