Families love the look of the new 99p item that they think is perfect for children
Home Bargains shoppers say they are ‘obsessed’ with a new 99p item that they love for children. The discount retailer regularly impresses customers with its stylish yet affordable homeware, and the latest trending product is no exception.
Parents are loving a new 99p ‘besties’, short for ‘best friends’, mug that’s available in pink or blue. Whether shoppers want to buy the mug for their children to use during family breakfasts or for children to give as a gift to their best friends, the mug could delight kids who love matching with their mum and dad or strengthen bonds between children and their siblings and friends.
The small ‘besties’ mug went viral when it was featured in a video shared on TikTok by @Magsfinds, a page that shares ‘cute toddler hauls.’ Showcasing the new designs, the shopper wrote: “Mums run to @Home Bargains for the cutest mugs for your little one, obsessed.”
Shoppers loved the video, which racked up over 130k and 4k likes. Responding to the post, commenters had lots of ideas for how to use the mug, from ‘sleepovers’ to ‘push presents’.
Sharing their idea, one fan commented: “For sleepover tea and biscuits time!” A second response read: “I need to go home bargains asap.” Another viewer wrote: “WE NEED THESEEEE.”
Someone else shared: “Omg I call them my little besties all the time, must have!!” When @magsfinds replied: “Honestly they’re so cute, only 99p aswell,” they agreed: “So affordable.”
In another comment, a viewer wrote: “Due in March so I’ll get a little bestie for next year.” @magsfinds replied: “Aw congratulations mama, I would buy one and store it away,” and the keen shopper said: “Yeah might just have to make self a nice little push present if she doesn’t come before Mother’s Day might encourage her to come.”
There was more praise from a commenter who wrote: “So cute.” In response, @Magsfinds said: “I agree, they need to do an adult version,” and someone else said: “They do.” @Magsfinds added: “Ahhh I haven’t seen it, I need to go back.”
Shoppers interested in the mugs are advised to check their local store. Customers can locate their nearest Home Bargains here. While the mugs aren’t available on the Home Bargains website at the time of writing, the retailer sells a selection of mugs online.
The options include the £2.99 Breakfast Club Mug and the £2.99 Croissant Time Mug, which have both proven popular with shoppers on social media. Both mugs could be ideal for adding a touch of fun to busy mornings.
The product description for the croissant mug states: “Enjoy your favourite hot drinks in style with the Croissant Time Mug, a cosy ceramic mug featuring a soft cream finish and a charming croissant-shaped handle. Perfect for relaxed mornings and everyday use.”
