It has been back on our TV screens for almost a month now, and I think it is safe to say on behalf of everyone else in the UK – we are HOOKED!
Love Island series 8 is here and we are all seriously invested in all of the latest contestant shenanigans, dramatic recouplings, shock dumpings, and blooming romances.
And if you want to get in on some of the villa action yourself, we’ve handpicked some of the Love Island favourite items that we think will be just your type on paper…
Spruce Up Your Garden
Fire Pits
There’s nothing that says drama like the love island fire pit!
Now we’re not suggesting you should get your graft on around a fire pit at home (unless you want to, obvs), but if you want the Love Island nostalgia at home, then a fire pit from a retailer such as B&Q is your best bet.
Gather your friends on the weekend and enjoy food, drink, music, and laughs around a fire pit in your own garden and feel like you’re right there in the villa.
Fire pits also have tonnes of benefits all year round. They extend summer evenings, make use of the garden in colder months, a space to enjoy family time, create a focal point in your garden, save money on energy costs, and they’re affordable.
Solar Fairy Lights
Feel like you’re in your own island villa oasis with some string fairy lights from a store like Lightbulbs Direct – their choices are endless!
Whether you’re hosting a BBQ or getting the girls around for the season finale, fairy lights are the perfect addition to any garden.
They look great along a fence or wall or a pergola if you have one. Solar lights are also a great, affordable option that doesn’t cost you a penny to run and can help extend your evening into late into the night.
Get The Look
Clothing
For the 2022 summer series, Love Island has decided to opt for a more sustainable clothing company to partner with in eBay.
Their clothing is from a variety of different brands such as ASOS and Boohoo that you can buy through eBay or the brands themselves. But the clothes the contestants are wearing are actually pre-loved! And don’t they still look just as fabulous?
So if you’ve taken inspo from some of the Love Island contestant’s evening outfits or swimwear this summer – then head over to eBay where you can shop similar pre-loved items!
Personalised Water Bottle
The infamous personalised water bottle has been a favourite for Love Island fans for years now. But buying your own from the official merchandise shop would set you back £15 plus delivery fees!
For a like-for-like version, take a look at Etsy where you can pick up a personalised bottle for under £10. Or better still, why not buy a cheap one from your local supermarket or one you already have and then buy a sticker vinyl to add to it?
Personalised Phone Case
“I’ve got a text!”
Probably one of the most exciting lines in every Love Island episode, feel like you’re laid on the day bed in the villa with your very own Love Island case.
These, again, can be purchased through the official merchandise shop. Or for a cheaper phone case option, head over to Amazon, eBay or Etsy.
Washbag
Those personalised clear washbags are every girl’s best friend in that Love Island villa! And if you’ve seen the state of that dressing room, then you’ll know why they need to be labelled…
If you’ve got a holiday booked this summer, then a washbag from a retailer such as Boots is an essential to carry all of your toiletries and makeup.
A clear one is a great way for you to easily see what you have without having to get it all out and you’ll be the envy of all of your friends on your next girl’s trip.
Personalised Suitcases
A hard-shell luggage set will make you the envy of all holidaymakers when you jet off to your summer holiday this year.
Or for one that is bound to stand out on the luggage belt, why not go really Love Island with a personalised case?
If you’ve recently got married, then a super cute idea could be to get matching couples ones with your initials. For a girl’s holiday or hen do, cases personalised with your names will let you travel in style.
These can be expensive if you buy them through personalised gifting websites such as Not On The Highstreet. But for a more budget-friendly option, look for luggage sets in the sales and then make or buy your own vinyl sticker!
