Home Bargains worker reveals store's ‘secret' Halloween theme three months early – and shoppers are loving it
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE'S still three months to go until Halloween, with plenty of summer nights to enjoy beforehand. But shoppers have already started thinking about spooky wares for this year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A Home Bargains worker revealed the store's 'secret' Halloween range for this year Credit: Alamy 2 The retail giant is honouring cult flick The Nightmare Before Christmas Credit: Alamy And they've been pleading with retail workers to find out what frightful ranges we can expect for 2025. Posting on the Home Bargains Appreciation Society Facebook group, which boasts 180,000 members, one hopeful person asked: "Soooooo any HB staff want to anonymously tell us what the Halloween theme will be this year……." Their Halloween wish was quickly granted as an anonymous employee was quick to oblige. They revealed: "It's been released onto [our internal retail network] .. a lot of very happy Tim Burton fans is all I can cowgirl too." The same member of staff later confirmed the movie in question is The Nightmare Before Christmas and gave shoppers a sneak peek at the inventory list. The Tim Burton movie, which was released in 1993, tells the story of Jack Skellington, the pumpkin king who rules over Halloweentown. But he becomes jaded with spooky season and kidnaps Santa in a bid to bring some festive cheer, to disastrous consequences. Now Jack and his pals, like Sally and Zero the ghost dog are set to be filling the shelves at Home Bargains in the months to come. The Halloween range will have everything from decorations and kitchenware to clothing and homeware. Fans of the cult flick will be able to pick up tiered pumpkins, string lights and a shadow light projector. Mum slams Home Bargains for selling 'gruesome' Halloween prop next to children's costumes in 'city in the midst of a knife crime crisis' For outdoors, you can fill your garden with a Jack Skellington inflatable and stake lights. There will also be kids and adult hooded blankets up for grabs as well as plush pyjamas for all ages and slippers. To give your home a Nightmare Before Christmas makeover, you can even bag dinner plates and bowls, duvet sets, a Jack cushion and printed throw. But you'll need to wait until the Halloween range hits the shelves for prices. Impressed by the Nightmare Before Christmas news, one shopper gushed: "Oh I'm here for this." But another was stunned by the revelation, and wrote: "Only management team are meant to know at this point & are told not to tell anyone, even family members. There are some early items out atm though." Meanwhile, another Home Bargains employee said: "Yeah I just see the PDF file…look fun this year."

Gwyneth Paltrow reveals which costar she would MARRY - and it's not ex Brad Pitt
Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to tough roles, but even she got a little flustered by a game of 'Marry, F***, Kill' when faced with a particularly swoon-worthy trio. On Tuesday's episode of The Goop Podcast, the Oscar winner, 52, was challenged to choose between three of her most iconic (and attractive) costars: Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., and Timothée Chalamet. 'This is impossible,' the mother of two, who is the subject of a juicy new biography by Amy Odell, laughed. 'This is like, there's no way I can answer this.' But after some playful hesitation, Paltrow leaned into the challenge. She ultimately chose to 'marry' her longtime Marvel costar, Robert Downey Jr., with whom she's shared the screen in several Iron Man and Avengers films. 'I would marry Robert because we would just laugh so much and have such a fun, weird life and travel,' she explained. 'And, anyway, I'm already, basically, I am married to him in movies, so what's the difference?' The decision between the other two wasn't quite so easy. 'Who am I gonna f**k you guys — Jude or Timothée Chalamet?' she mused aloud, clearly torn. In the end, she opted for Law — her costar in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004), and Contagion (2011) — noting that a tryst with Chalamet, 29, would feel a bit uncomfortable due to their age gap. 'I think my children would kill me if I did that,' the Goop founder joked. 'It's like robbing the cradle.' Before giving her final answer, the star playfully managed to dodge making any eliminations in the podcast game. 'I'm not gonna say. Both. I'm gonna marry all three,' she declared. 'I'm gonna marry and f**k all three. How's that? I'm a modern woman. I'm not killing anyone,' she declared. Last fall, Paltrow and Chalamet recently sparked buzz while filming Marty Supreme, a project that raised eyebrows for its steamy scenes. 'I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie. There's a lot — a lot,' she told Vanity Fair in March. Despite their onscreen chemistry, Paltrow referred to Chalamet with a mix of admiration and maternal warmth as she described him as a 'a thinking man's sex symbol.' 'He's just a very polite, properly raised — I was going to say kid. He's a man who takes his work really seriously and is a fun partner,' she told the outlet. Meanwhile, in real life, Paltrow is happily married to producer Brad Falchuk, whom she wed in 2018. When asked what she loves most about her husband, she gave a very heartfelt answer. 'I think just how unconditionally loving he is,' she said. 'He is like, there's this, like, wellspring of love from him all the time. I never feel like he's over me or, like, annoyed.' Prior to meeting Falchuk, Paltrow dated her former costars Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck and was married to Chris Martin, whom she shares kids Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.

Iris Law puts on a leggy display as she steps out with a pal in NYC
Iris Law put on a very leggy display as she dressed down for a casual day out with a pal in New York City on Monday. The 24-year-old model looked sensational in a baby pink vest and skimpy white polka dot shorts. The daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost completed the stylish look with a pair of black strappy flats and a chic brown leather bag. Incredible Iris: Iris Law put on a very leggy display as she enjoyed a casual day out with a pal in New York City on Monday Iris added a diamond statement necklace, a matching bracelet, and a stack of rings to accessorize the already stylish ensemble. Her outing comes just days after she flashed her bottom and went without a bra as she shared a cheeky insight into her summer. The model took to Instagram last Monday to share a collection of summer snaps. Included in the post was a racy snap of Iris wearing a burnt orange silk wrap dress, which showcased her bottom. In another, Iris went without a bra for a mirror selfie in a red T-shirt paired with silver sequin shorts and chunky black sandals. She accessorized with an array of glitzy diamond jewelry and oval spectacles, as well as a floral shoulder bag. Elsewhere in the post, Iris looked effortlessly stylish as she headed out for the day wearing a navy boat-neck graphic t-shirt. Iris paired the T-shirt with a low-rise denim mini skirt, dark green crew socks and yellow and green trainers, as well as a brown leather shoulder bag. She also shared a selfie while wearing a baseball cap which read: 'Poser. You think you can pose? Name every position.' Iris recently spoke out to clarify her relationship with DJ Tommy Gold after the two sparked romance rumors during an outing in London's Notting Hill outing earlier this month. The model was seen with the London-based DJ, who bears a striking resemblance to her ex Trent Alexander-Arnold. The pair were seen browsing stalls at the famous Portobello Road Market, where they paused to pick up some flowers in the seemingly romantic setting. However, Iris has now addressed the speculation and insisted that Tommy is her 'bestie', taking to Instagram on Sunday to clarify their relationship. Reposting a picture of their day out, Iris wrote: '[laughing face emoji] sorry guys but that's bestie.' Iris last sparked romance rumors in October when it was reported she was growing close to her ex Pa Salieu again after her split from England footballer Trent. She had been tapping the heart button in response to social media posts by the rapper, just a month after his release from a 33-month jail sentence for violent disorder. She also commented on his latest post, writing: 'Fiya'. The pair were first seen together in October 2021, and relationship rumors were sparked in April the following year. It is not known when they split.
