Next selling 'pretty' solution for 'corners with no plugs sockets'
The Confetti Glass Rechargeable Wireless Table Lamp from Next requires no plug sockets so shoppers can take it to any room in the house
Customers at Next have discovered a nifty way to brighten up any dark corners in their homes, and it doesn't involve the hassle of painting or breaking the bank on home decor. The popular Confetti Glass Rechargeable Wireless Table Lamp from Next comes in at £45.
The lamp features an elegant speckled white glass shade topped with a sleek brushed gold base, and there's no need for plug sockets thanks to its rechargeable design via a USB cable. Customers are raving about its versatility, with one satisfied buyer calling the 'lovely little lamp' perfect because it's 'cordless so can go anywhere', highlighting how it eliminates any messy or unsightly wires.
Although users will need to recharge the table lamp occasionally, Next claims it only takes five hours to charge for a full eight hours of use, a detail that buyers agree isn't troublesome. One content shopper shared: "Delighted with this purchase."
Another customer mentioned: "My daughter bought me the vase to match. It's not a bright light but is adequate for my small hallway. It does need charging periodically but this has not been a problem. It is admired by visitors."

Product Description
With its expensive appearance yet £45 price tag, the stylish table lamp adds elegance without costing the earth - two can be had for less than £100, presenting themselves as ideal bedside lamps, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Echoing the sentiments of many, one particular customer enthused: "I bought this lamp for the corner of my lounge which has no electric sockets it's a beautiful lamp the light it gives off is really bright and it is easy to charge and it last for hours so impressed I have bought another one."
There seems to be a bit of debate over just how dazzling this lamp is, with some folks finding its glow good and others deeming it a tad too bright, leading them to drop a star from their rating. If you fancy something similar but distinct to the Next contender, consider the Cassia Pressed Glass Rechargeable Touch Dimmable Table Lamp from Dunelm. At £40, this one also boasts a nifty three-stage touch feature, letting consumers tweak the ambience to their liking.
Then there's the Ayla Origami LED Rechargeable Wireless Lamp from Dusk, which is currently on sale for £35 making it the budget-friendly pick of the bunch. One buyer said: "This lamp is perfect for the areas that don't have socket outlets but need light. Easy to charge and lasts quite a long time. Also, very stylish."
However, if the Next lamp is preferred, rest assured, customers confirm it is easy to piece together and is 'very pretty'. One reviewer declared: "Great lamp. Bigger and more substantial than expected. Once charged, it lasts a reasonable time. Throws a lovely pattern on the ceiling too. Glass is a nice weight not flimsy. Love it." And yet another fan divulged: " Great little lamp for corners that have no plug socket, really pretty and easy to charge up."

'We are trying to get customers to buy less packaging'
And that can ultimately mean customers ordering a lower volume of products from the company, which was originally formed as a commercial stationery business by the late Lord Macfarlane of Bearsden shortly after the Second World War. Macfarlane provides packaging that helps high-profile retailers such as Dunelm, Currys, Lakeland and Halfords fulfil e-commerce orders, in addition to designing and manufacturing protective solutions for the automotive, aerospace, defence, and other sectors. It employs around 1,200 people across 40 sites. In an exclusive interview with The Herald, Mr Atkinson said it is 'often quite disconcerting for shareholders' to hear that 'one of the things we are doing is trying to get customers to buy less packaging, to make them more efficient and make them more sustainable'. He said: 'If you are a shareholder you are saying: 'you should be encouraging customers to buy more, shouldn't you?'. But in reality it is getting a lot more customers to buy less. So our objective is to get the existing customers to buy less and become stickier, and then obviously attract more and win new customers.' Mr Atkinson added: 'It's more about getting customers to use their packaging more efficiently. So it's not necessarily that we are, in all cases, giving them better value packaging. It's more that we are giving them a way of using their packaging in a more efficient way, or giving them better ways of packing their products. Because clearly if you are a customer like Dunelm or any of these guys, they have got products, we supply them packaging [and] those two have then got to be connected. 'If we can find a way of enabling them to use less labour to pack their products, that is a far bigger benefit to them than 10p off the price of a box, with labour costs and national insurance [contributions] as they are.' Read more: Mr Atkinson highlighted the benefits consumers are gaining from innovation in packaging, which have made it easier to return goods that are not wanted. 'If you find a box that is re-usable, that is easy to return and it saves all the hassle of finding another box and so on,' he said. 'If the packaging has just got a tear strip to open and all you need to do is put the goods back in, close the box and put tape round it, that's a far easier solution than if you have got to tear the thing open to get the goods out, then rebuild the box or find another box. That's about the [role of the Macfarlane] innovation labs and how we design the products.' Macfarlane's approach to innovation was one of a number insights provided by Mr Atkinson on the operation of a company that has routinely grown profits since he took the helm in 2003. As well as bringing more focus to its customer interactions, Mr Atkinson's early days at Macfarlane were spent consolidating a diverse business that had interests around the world, from 'Milngavie to Mexico' as he said in a previous interview with The Herald. Narrowing the focus to packaging distribution and the design and manufacture of packaging solutions, he put in place a growth strategy that has now seen Macfarlane undertake 22 acquisitions (and seven disposals) over the course of his tenure. Its recent £18m acquisition of Scottish firm The Pitreavie Group was the company's biggest since its purchase of National Packaging for £21.7m in 2001. Mr Atkinson said the pipeline of potential acquisitions remains strong, noting that it has 'only just touched the surface in Europe'. Following its acquisition of Germany firm PackMann around three years ago, a managing director was recently appointed to lead its expansion across the Channel. 'It's great to start off with a team of a well-meaning Brits, but you get to a stage where you need to have that experience,' Mr Atkinson said. 'So we brought in a new MD for Europe (Joost Meijs) at the beginning of this year, and he has added materially to our knowledge and our understanding of the European market, and the range of contacts and relationships he's got because he is steeped in the industry. He strengthened our approach to Europe in a very short space of time." Many potential acquisitions present themselves because company owners are seeking an exit to retire. 'There's one we are working on at the moment, which we've been working on for probably four years,' Mr Atkinson said. 'Because it's a retirement decision, you can't force it. They've done their plans. They've worked out, you know, what their numbers are in terms of their pension pots etc. And they know they're going to sell the business in 2028, so in that sense, what we're doing is courting them, building up a relationship with them so that when that date comes we are in the prime position.' Mr Atkinson has steered Macfarlane through several major political and macroeconomic events during the course of his 22-year tenure. He is aware that major government decisions, such as the recent increase in employer national insurance contributions and national minimum wage, cause a degree of uncertain among the group's staff, but said the firm strives to be as 'fair with people as we can'. 'We try as try as best as we can to give them security, to give them a degree of certainty, and a degree of fairness,' he said. 'And we are very open with our employees… we have regular dialogue sessions with all our employees to ensure that they're aware of how the company [is doing] and more importantly what the plan is going forward.'

'Powerful' Shark fan falls to record low price amid heatwave
Amazon shoppers are beating the heatwave with the Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan that's now cheaper than Shark's own price Amazon has undercut Shark's price for a cooling fan that's on offer for a record low price. The Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Cordless Indoor and Outdoor Fan has been reduced from £249.99 to £219. A similar deal is available direct from Shark, where the same fan is down from £249.99 to £219.99. Arguably the main selling point of the Shark fan is its misting feature, powered by the portable and removable MistPro tank. This can be filled with chilled water to enjoy a cool mist outdoors, with Shark claiming it lowers temperatures by up to 6C. The fan can be converted between pedestal and tabletop fan modes at the touch of a button. Simply press, lift away, and enjoy misting and oscillation in both modes. The FlexBreeze boasts five fan speeds and two SmartBreeze modes said to simulate natural wind patterns capable of reaching up to 20 meters. It also has 180° of side-to-side oscillation and a 55° tilt, allowing complete control of the wind direction. The fan can be powered through its main plug for continuous power or cordlessly with a battery life of up to 24 hours, with the portability allowing Brits to beat the heat around the garden. For those looking for a more budget-friendly fan, the JYMIPA Standing Fan (£95.99) has received no negative feedback from Amazon customers and is said to be 'whisper quiet'. Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan £249.99 £219 Amazon Get the deal here Product Description Those preferring a bladeless fan can opt for the Russell Hobbs Premium Tower Fan (£59) from Dunelm, which boasts a 4.9-star rating and a flexible seven-hour timer. But the Shark FlexBreeze has won over shoppers, racking up a 4.2-star rating at Amazon and a 4.8 at Shark. One five-star review says: 'The fan is extremely quiet even on higher speeds and acts as advertised, lowers temperatures without mist on, with the mist on outside it works even better. It's expensive but looking at the build quality I'm hoping it will last for years.' Another said: 'A good powerful fan providing a lovely breeze to keep things cool in the conservatory when the sun is out. The water mist is strictly for outdoors as the spray does generate quite a lot of large droplets that gather on the base plate and will also moisten any items nearby. The mist is perfect for those summer barbecues keeping the chef nice and cool. Kids love standing in front of it to help keep them cool while playing in the garden.' However, the same buyer added: 'Only drawbacks would have been nice to have more angle on the oscillation and the ability to adjust the height and not just the angle of the fan.' This happy customer said of the Shark FlexBreeze: 'A must have, whatever the weather. Just another SharkNinja product you never knew you needed. The fan is incredibly effective when used both with and without the misting feature. It's sturdy but easy to manoeuvre and the ability to run for hours off the rechargeable battery is a game changer.'
