A product description reads: “This isn’t any old sleep mask; this is a contoured eye mask.

“It’s a must for us.”
Shoppers can also get their hands on a selection of cosy looking earmuffs for £5 as well as a selection of adorable bow hair clips and cute phone cases.
Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?
JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.
- They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They “do very little advertising”
- While their clothes offer the “latest trends”, they “don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
- And lastly, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores”. This includes things like asking “suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf”.
For more information about how Primark keeps their costs so low, and are able to deliver such amazing bargains, visit the Primark website.
And no Christmas would be complete without stunning scented candles and a selection of beauty essentials.
Showing off their new collection on the official Primark TikTok account, the fast fashion store said: “There’s a gift for every vibe and budget.”
And if you’re looking for something a little more expensive, Primark’s range of Boyfriend Pyjamas are the perfect gifts to unwrap on Christmas Day.
The budget retailer uploaded a video of the new ‘boyfriend’ sets, which include a shirt and trousers in numerous designs.
And the best part is they won’t break the bank at just £15.
Primark wrote: “The pyjamas everyone’s dreaming of this holiday season. Boyfriend Pyjamas.”
First up was a pair of red pjs that looked perfect for a Christmas day photo – and could be bought as matching pairs for the family.
The second pair was a grey and white striped pair and the third was a navy set with little silver stars on it.
MAFS fans point out huge issue after Sacha shares concerns about moving nearer to husband Ross
MARRIED At First Sight’s Sacha and Ross have baffled fans with their ongoing issue about where to move.
On Monday night’s episode, the home stay week continued with Sacha bringing Ross to Walsall to visit her family.
Sacha was determined to show him the highlights of the area in a bid to make him move there from Manchester.
However, Ross has reservations as his daughter, Blue, is currently living in Manchester and he didn’t want to be too far away from her.
With Sacha wanting to remain closer to her family, it seems the pair have hit a roadblock in making their relationship work.
However, this came as a bit of a shock to viewers – especially when they discovered that Walsall and Manchester is only about an hour-and-a-half drive down the motorway from each other.
As a result, some are accusing them of playing up the issue, wondering why they don’t move somewhere in the middle to make things work.
They also thought they were blowing the issue way out of proportion.
Speaking on X, one fan wrote: “For a bit of context, Walsall and Manchester are a 1 hr 40 mins drive apart – I drive 1 hr 20 mins (each way) to work, twice a week. It’s really not the dealbreaker they are making it out to be!”
“Being from the North of Scotland, I thought the distances Ross and Sacha were talking about were enormous!” said another,
“Then I googled it and realised Manchester and Walsall are a 1 hr 40 min drive apart! That is absolutely nothing!”
“Get a grip, it’s literally down the road… it’s not another country Sasha!!!” said a third.
A fourth joked: “Last time I looked Manchester was 90 mins from Walsall. Not 3 flights, a visitors visa and a malaria injection away.”
“For the love of God it’s like 70 miles from Manchester to Walsall. This is NOT A BIG DEAL,” said a fifth.
“Why don’t Ross and Sacha get a place in between Manchester and Walsall (like Stoke on Trent)?” noted another.
“Then they’d only be an hour from each place. That’s doable, no?”
The pair’s marriage hangs in the balance of the decision, with the final commitment ceremony coming up quickly.
Currently, it looks like nearly all the couples are hanging on by a thread, with Kieran and Kristina returning to their homes alone, and Polly and Adam spending the entire time arguing.
Things didn’t look much brighter for Luke and Amy, who seem to be unable to get through a single conversation without triggering an argument.
A dinner with her friends resulted in Luke declaring himself “a single man” much to the anger of Amy.
Nathan and Lacey appear to be the only couple who could go the distance at this moment in time, with the pair getting closer by the day to the approval of Lacey’s mum.
Married At First Sight UK continues tomorrow at 9pm on E4.
I won over £400k on the Postcode Lottery while my neighbours scooped just £6k with nifty trick – I have a guardian angel
A POSTCODE Lottery player who won more than £400,000 while her neighbours got just £6,000 says she has a “guardian angel”.
Retired antiques dealer Innis Gamble, of Fenham, Newcastle, scooped the largest share of the £3.2million prize.
She and husband Dave are now set on completing their bucket list – starting with trips to New York and Thailand.
Innis said: “The world has opened! I’m walking on air. I’m literally floating at the moment and Dave is holding me down, so I don’t float away.
“This money will change our lives forever. I really do feel like I have a guardian angel now.”
She celebrated after her postcode, NE4 9XU, was announced as the winner of October’s Postcode Millions prize on November 2.
And 390 of her neighbours shared the remainder of the multi-million-pound prize, each netting cash prizes ranging from £6,146 to £36,876, depending on the number of tickets they played with.
She won a substantial amount more by purching a lot more tickets – meaning a higher reward if she struck it lucky.
Innis, who was diagnosed with stage 4 skin cancer last year, couldn’t believe her windfall after already beating the odds as she recovers from melanoma, which was at an advanced stage.
She is waiting on the results of a third scan carried out just days ago – after two previous checks came back clear.
She said: “I’m grateful to be alive. It started with a freckle on my arm which changed shape, so I thought, ‘I’ve got to go to hospital and get it checked.’
“I had surgery to cut out the cancer from my arm but in October last year tests showed it had spread to my armpit, chest and stomach.”
Innis, who bears an S-shaped scar on her left arm, then started immunotherapy treatment for the cancer, which was successful.
She added: “Thankfully, it worked and I’m still here. I had my last scan last Saturday. I haven’t had the results back yet, but my last two scans have been clear.
“And now this has happened. I’m just waiting for the alarm clock to go off because it doesn’t sound real yet.”
Innis, who owned an antiques shop, had looked to the sky while she held her £402,919 cheque.
Later, the mum-of-two said: “Unfortunately, I’ve experienced a lot of loss, and I was simply thanking everybody.”
She also credits her husband Dave for saving her life after eight years of feeling lost following the passing of her previous husband.
Innis said: “My life’s been up and down for years, many years, and Dave has saved it.
“I lost my previous husband 15 years ago, and I was alone for eight years, and I couldn’t have been any lower until I met Dave on a dating website.”

Innis, who married dad-of-one Dave in New York’s Central Park in 2016, added: “It was meant to be. We are going to enjoy this.”
Dave, who works as a complementary therapist, said they wrote a bucket list together and now plan to start ticking it off.
He said: “It’s perfect timing when you get to our age. You build up a little bucket list, and we wrote one together. It can all happen now.
“We got married at Wagner Cove in Central Park and it was the best day ever and we’d love to go back.
“We stayed on Seventh Avenue in a honeymoon suite on the 73rd floor with balconies and its own kitchen. We might even see if we can stay there again.”
Innis, who reminisced about taking a horse and carriage ride on their wedding day, added: “We’ve got to go back to take the horse a carrot. We forgot the carrot the first time round.”
Innis and Dave also plan on taking a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Thailand, but before then Innis plans on writing a book about her life.
Innis, who ran her antiques shop in Norton called Yesterdays with her late husband, said that much like antiques, her life consists of lots of stories.
Adopted at birth, Innis found her birth mum, brother and sister 52 years later and said she’s always wanted to tell her story.
She said: “I think I’m entitled to write a book.”
The couple both care for Dave’s mum, Marcella Cook, who turned 102 on 2 September, and plan on celebrating together with a bag of chips.
Fury as woke museum slaps trigger warning on wildlife photos because some show predators attacking prey
A MUSEUM has added a trigger warning to a wildlife photography exhibition — as it features snaps of predators attacking prey.
Sheepish visitors are told they should prepare to see images of “animal death” they may find “distressing”.
The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery shows work from the contest’s 60-year history.
Photos include lions delivering killer blows to crocodiles and a tiger carrying a dead monkey by its head.
The museum says to expect “exceptional images that capture fascinating animal behaviour, spectacular species and the breathtaking diversity of the natural world”.
But it warned: “Visitors may find some images distressing due to animal cruelty and animal death.”
The exhibit, on loan from London’s Natural History Museum, opened last month.
Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke fumed: “This is an example of lowering the education levels of society based on a decision made by a few woke people on inflated salaries deciding how everyone else should live their lives.
“I don’t understand why people going into an exhibition about the natural world need to be warned about the natural world.
“They are being wrapped up in cotton wool and it’s not preparing anyone for how the real world works.”
A contest spokesman said: “Some of the images can be confronting for visitors, so we understand why some of our touring partners may wish to communicate this.”
Sir Keir Starmer wants new security deal with EU to help nab Channel people smugglers
SIR Keir Starmer wants a new security deal with the EU to help nab Channel people smugglers.
The PM slammed our current post-Brexit agreement, saying we can’t access Euro intelligence on the gangs.
Speaking at the Interpol general assembly in Glasgow, he said UK investigators should be in charge of tackling gangs across Europe, but it hasn’t happened since we left the EU.
He told reporters: “I’m very keen to get the UK into a leadership position, particularly in relation to smuggling and putting people into small boats across the Channel.”
He added: “All of the European countries value what the UK has to offer.
“They know that we’ve very good intelligence.”
The PM opened the annual global policing conference calling for greater international cooperation and intelligence sharing.
He said: “People-smuggling should be viewed as a global security threat similar to terrorism.”
The PM added: “We’re working with Italy to dismantle supply chains of maritime equipment, combat illicit financial flows and strengthen investigative capacities and data sharing.”
A “bi-lateral co-operation treaty” is also in the pipeline with Germany.
A total of 9,400 people have been returned to their home countries since Labour took office — mainly to places deemed safe.
