It comes after one savvy shopper was left beaming after browsing the aisles in her local Home Bargains, when she spotted the brand new 5-Piece Kids' Travel Set on shelves.
Thrilled with her affordable find, Catherine Jacinto Dela Cruz took to social media to alert others to the purse-friendly set, leaving many totally stunned.

The Home Bargains set is available in three styles - so if your little one can't get enough of sharks, rainbows or camo print, you're sure to find something that's just right for them.
It won't burn a hole in your wallet either, as it's priced at just £19.99, which we think is a real steal.
Holiday packing tips
Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday.
1. Write a list
Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase.
Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack.
2. Involve your kids
Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list.
'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.'
3. Try a hack or two
She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip.
"Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver.
'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes.
"These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked.
"I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived."
4. Decant beauty products
Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller.
Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive.
5. Get organised before you come home
Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes.
'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person.
"Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."
And it's clear that Facebook users were left beaming with the high-street find, as Catherine's post has quickly racked up 121 likes and 72 comments.
One person said: 'I got one of them for my son and he loved it.'
Another added: 'That looks good.'
Meanwhile, a third tagged a friend and commented: 'If you see this, let me know.'
Not only this, but one parent mentioned a loved one and beamed: 'I want these for the kids!'

Venice is humanity's greatest stage for vulgarity and excess
To get into the elevated mindset appropriate for dealing with a city of legendary beauty, look at this superb passage of Victorian prose: There rises, out of the wide water, a straggling line of low and confused brick buildings, which, but for the many towers which are mingled among them, might be the suburbs of an English manufacturing town. Four or five domes, pale, and apparently at a greater distance, rise over the centre of the line but the object which first catches the eye is a sullen cloud of black smoke brooding over the northern half of it, and which issues from the belfry of a church. It is Venice. For John Ruskin, who in 1849 wrote those words in his magnificent architectural guide to the city, The Stones of Venice, it was a place both of immense beauty, but also of immense ugliness. Both were a consequence of Venice's history of great mercantilism. In medieval times, the rich had built awesome Gothic churches (which Ruskin loved) to the glory of God; from the renaissance onwards they built sumptuous Baroque palazzi and the occasional church (which Ruskin detested) to the glory mainly of themselves. Even before Venice became a byword for the wonders of antiquity it had become a stage for vulgarity, where the rich went to show off. Its long history invited such behaviour: another 19th-century English aesthete, Walter Pater, referred in his 1873 book The Renaissance to 'that feverish, tumultuously coloured life of the old citizens of Venice'. In recent years, certainly since the dawn of the 20th century, it has become a place where the opulent go in order to be seen in the finest surroundings, the architectural magnificence of which they are far less discriminating than Ruskin to appreciate properly. However, it shows them and their friends off in an environment of elevated taste and sophistication, and with an ultra-romantic tinge, with as much feverishness and tumultuous colour as they wish. So it is no surprise that the world's leading merchant of our times, Jeff Bezos, proprietor of Amazon, should have chosen La Serenissima for his wedding this weekend to Lauren Sánchez, the broadcaster and writer. The details of this event might boggle the minds of those not used to the excesses of the mega-rich: Sir Elton John (who apparently can nip in from his apartment in the city) and Lady Gaga as the cabaret; a brace of grand pianos being shipped in by gondola; regiments of security guards; alleged block booking of the Cipriani, one of the city's most luxurious hotels, at £2,700 per room per night; bringing an estimated economic benefit of around $30 million for the city's entrepreneurs. It may be small change for Mr Bezos, but many grateful traders await a symphony of ringing cash registers. Doubtless he and his bride chose Venice for romantic reasons, but they perpetuate a tradition of excess dating from Roman times. The city's wealth was generated from ports established in the lagoon in the 5th and 6th centuries. Soon the Venetian government was regularised. The first properly documented doge, or ruler, Orso Ipato, was elected in 726, his rule ending when he was murdered by his opponents. He was the first of many doges to be killed, and some lasted only a few months, even if allegedly dying from 'natural causes'. By the 15th century the doges made little pretence of moral example, not least because many obtained their position through bribery. Some had dubious pasts. Michele Steno, who ruled from 1400 to 1413, was very nearly executed as a youth for insulting the incumbent doge. By medieval times the city was a serious maritime power, creating some Bezos-style magnates of that age. It became a major entrepôt between the advanced trading nations of Europe, and Byzantium and Asia, a vast version of the multiplicity of Amazon warehouses one sees globally now. Just as Mr Bezos is now the planet's top merchant, economic historians reckon that by about 1300, Venice was the richest city on earth. The fruits of those riches are the appropriate backdrop to the Bezos/Sánchez nuptials. In the 15th century successive doges used the spoils of war with Turks and Egyptians to line their, and their supporters, pockets, establishing valuable monopolies. They engaged in increasingly ostentatious displays of wealth. By the early 16th century lucrative public offices were bought and sold, rather than being awarded on merit. Financial scandals and insolvencies became routine, as did the creation of a class of the grotesquely rich, and some great families conspired against others. Doubtless Mr Bezos hopes and believes that his own newly-minted chumminess with the Trump dynasty will be more enduring. Although Venice has been the scene for many fine parties over the centuries – indeed I have had the pleasure of going to a couple – perhaps the Bezos wedding might prove the most extravagant since the coronation in 1597 of Morosina Morosini-Grimani, dogaressa to Marino Grimani and immortalised by Tintoretto. Doges' wives were not normally crowned and, indeed, only one more ever was, 97 years later. Yet in the spirit of competition that so often infused the Venetian rich, Grimani decided that his wife's coronation should be the finest ever. There were processions of gondolas and a series of feasts for ambassadors, various European royalties and ecclesiastical dignitaries – the leader of whom, the papal nuncio, conferred an ornamental golden rose blessed by the Pope on the dogaressa, on His Holiness's orders. One can imagine just such things, or the modern equivalents, happening this weekend. The palazzi and churches were the product, over centuries, of the city's plutocratic dynasties trying to outdo each other in their opulence. Spending in this way, rather than re-investing and innovating, were indicative of the city's decadence (Ruskin saw it illustrated by the move from 'Godly' gothic to heathen baroque in the 16th and 17th centuries) and economic decline. From being a great trading centre, Venice had, by the 18th century, become notable mainly for its tourism – a key stop on the 'grand tour' undertaken by many young European, and later American, aristocrats and grandees. The main point of the city became either cultural or sybaritic pleasure, with its people generally undertaking low-paid work in what we now call service industries rather than arranging profitable shipments of goods. The massive tourist trade – with between 25 and 30 million people a year – is literally wearing out the city, in its perilous waterbound state: but that is unlikely to worry Mr Bezos, his bride and their partying friends this weekend. The problem is that the ancient structures have endured centuries of physical impact on their foundations, and the Bezos gang are merely following in an ancient tradition. It is only a shame that the great Venetian painters of old, such as Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto or Canaletto are not around to capture in oils the events of this weekend. But for the costumes, they would instantly recognise a climate of extreme wealth, serviced by a class for whom riches are only a dream, just as in centuries past. There are numerous examples of indulgent behaviour by the rich in Venice that long precede this weekend's. One of the most outrageous practitioners was Luisa, Marchesa Casati Stampa di Soncino, who rented the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni on the Grand Canal that is now the Guggenheim Collection. In the Marchesa's day, the house had gold verdigris staircases, a menagerie and an aviary (which included albino blackbirds) and peacocks trained to sit on windowsills. Naked under her fur coat, she would cruise in her private gondola with her pet cheetah, ocelot or borzoi, and then take them for nocturnal walks through St Mark's Square (the cheetah was sedated as a precaution). At her balls and parties she would dress in extravagant costumes, sometimes as a sun goddess, or as the Queen of Sheba, and have Nubian servants covered in gold. She once drugged a boa constrictor and wore it as a necklace, as one does.
