People were divided over the items – with some claiming they were arriving ‘to early’
B&M shoppers might feel like they missed a few weeks of the year when they see the latest homeware range. However, some were fully embracing the spirit of the new seasonal items, and they’re not particularly summery.
Posting the the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, Ashleigh found a whole display of the newly released products on a shelf in her local B&M branch. However, they stood out against the paddling pools and other ‘hot weather’ items for a glaringly obvious reason.
They are all autumn-themed, with many items in the shape of one particular vegetable – pumpkin. The wreaths, cushions, and throw blankets might seem a little early, given that it’s not even August yet, but, some shoppers seemed just as thrilled as Ashleigh to be able to stock up and plan their seasonal decor in advance thanks to B&M’s latest collection.
The pictures Ashleigh uploaded from around her local B&M showed a huge door wreath adorned with red, orange, and yellow leaves and pine cones. There was also a £10 boucle throw blanket in a rich pumpkin orange shade and £6 decorative pumpkins to add to displays around the home.
Ashleigh also found a variety of scented candles for the upcoming cooler months, including the classic pumpkin-spiced latte and caramel apple latte in small tins. Some bigger options included an Apple pie-scented dish candle for £4 and a tiny toadstool tealight holder for £3.
People raced to the comments to have their say about the new items. One loved the wreath and said: “I am HAVING this!” Another wrote: “I love them colours!”
A third commented: “Never too early! Love those candles!” Someone else put: “Can’t wait for this season!” A fifth fan added: “The pie candles are gorgeous. Hope they smell nice too!” And, one more said: “Ready for these and cosy nights in!”
Not every item is showing online, as it appears to be very new to B&M. It would be best for shoppers wanting to get their hands on items to visit the closest branch and scout out the collection in person.
Others were less than thrilled to see them. One put: “Let us have summer please!” Another posted: “It’ll be time for the Christmas bits soon!” And, a third person commented: “Getting earlier every year this!”
B&M isn’t the only place getting into the autumnal spirit early as, recently, shoppers at Primark issued their own ‘code orange’ alert after spotting ‘fruit’ for sale in stores. Not your typical produce, this was also a display of autumnal homeware, including pumpkin-shaped and scented items.
Some claimed the brand was “wishing away” summer, while others were 100% here for the early arrival of the next season. TikTok use Abby captioned her now viral video, as: “Never too early for us autumn gals!”
