I’m a money-saving pro, Home Bargains’ £4.99 buy is a must-have for kids’ parties & it can be reused as a toy afterwards
A MONEY-SAVING pro has shared her top find from Home Bargain in recent weeks.
The £4.99 purchase is not only ideal for kids’ parties and will go down a treat with all of the guests, but it can also be used long after.
Social media’s Ashleigh, who runs popular TikTok account Ashleigh Money Saver, introduced her followers to a multi-coloured cardboard sweet stand.
The sweet shop themed stand, which is bright and fun, also comes with 12 striped bright coloured paper bags that can be filled with sweets and placed inside.
Ashleigh explained: “If you’ve got a birthday party coming up, then this sweet shop stand from Home Bargains is an absolute must-have.
“It’s only £4.99 and you can make a pick & mix sweet stand, using all of these sweet treats you can pick for just a couple of pounds as well.”
She continued to sing the product’s praises, as she said: “It comes with 12 bags that you can fill with your own pick & mix.
“And the stand is really easy to put together. It literally only took me a couple of minutes.
“It’s so simple, you just pop it all into place.”
Once she demonstrated how easy it was to put together, Ashleigh described it as “beautiful and fun.”
She then added the main event – the sweets made up of multi-packs she’d bought in store.
These included strawberry straws, which she cut in half to fill up the bag, and a gummy selection.
She continued: “Strawberry laces are a really inexpensive way to fill in the bag.
“A gummy mix like this has a really good mix of different types of sweets.”
She went on to say: “This would be great for children’s birthday parties, Easter parties or anything else.”
But the best bit is that when the party’s over, the fun doesn’t have to stop there.
Instead of storing the sweet stand in a cupboard for it to never be seen again, you can give it new life.
Ashleigh continued: “Or you could even reuse it as a child’s play toy afterwards if you wanted to.”
And it turns out it’s very long-lasting, as other social media users revealed.
As lots of people flocked to the comment section and said they “loved” the cool design, one person told Ashleigh: “I bought this two years ago and still use it for every birthday for my daughters.”
