Shoppers couldn’t contain their excitement over the affordable little find
A Primark shopper was stopped in their tracks after discovering an item find they say would elevate the experience of sipping on an ice-cold coffee or matcha. The small and affordable treat was deemed “perfect” for anyone with a similar habit.
The store’s Dome Cup with Straw comes in a clear version and one tinted brown. Both versions are listed online and cost £4 each. Primark bosses claim that the “stylish” design of this cup “adds a touch of elegance to your drinkware collection.”
TikTok user Mia found the cup in her local Primark. She claimed that it would be “the perfect cup”, adding that “iced coffee/matcha girlies should run to Primark”. The plastic cup, which holds 600ml, caused a flurry of comments online from interested shoppers.
One said: “I need it right now!” Another added: “How adorable is that!” A third wrote: “I can confirm this is perfect for iced coffees.” Someone else said: “I have this use it all time I love it!” And, a fifth added: “What?! I’m obsessed already!”
The cup isn’t available to reserve online using Primark’s click-and-collect service, which has rolled out nationwide following a successful trial in parts of the UK. The website does offer fans a chance to check stock based on what shops have in stock, but this could change quickly.
In other Primark news, shoppers have been divided over other items that appeared somewhat out of place in the home section during a heatwave. Some Primark fans were confused at the sight of ghosts, ghouls and pumpkins as Halloween “arrives three months early”.
It was quickly cleared up as Summerween, a quirky celebration of all things spooky that comes before actual Halloween in October. The trend came about following an animated Disney show in which residents of a quirky town loved the holiday so much they celebrated it twice – and fans brought that idea to life in the real world.
Shoppers noticed pumpkin-shaped dinnerware and autumnal scents. Throw blankets that might not be the most ideal for a heatwave were also spotted, but people were happy to take advantage and put items away for a few months.
For those firmly in a summer mindset, the clothing section continued to impress. One shopper found a “perfect for summer” midi dress for £26 and claimed on TikTok that it was “also perfect for weddings” when dressed up with accessories with its on-trend buttery yellow colour.
Also, another fan proved Primark was the perfect place for shoppers who didn’t want to spend a fortune on clothing. One of our shopping writers compared the new Embellished Bow Ballerina Flats from the retailer, which bear a striking resemblance to a style by brand Lola Cruz, but at a mere fraction of the price. Shoppers can grab the Primark version for just £16, while the designer version retails at a hefty £269.95 online.
