With more warm weather on the way, many homeowners are planning garden parties and outdoor gatherings. For friends and family, the sunshine offers the perfect excuse to get together, especially when it’s warm enough to sit outside. But the cooler evenings might prompt some guests to head indoors earlier than they would like.
In good news for B&M shoppers, the bargain chain could have an £18 solution for party hosts who want to make the most of their garden. The retailer is selling a Fire Basket that customers can use to keep warm all evening.
The product description explains: “Add some warmth and atmosphere to your garden with this contemporary Fire Basket. Easy to set up, it’s ideal for hosting parties or relaxing outdoors in the evenings. A modern addition to your outdoor space. Easy to empty and clean.”
B&M says the fire basket measures approximately W38 x D38 x H38cm, and it is for domestic use only. The description stated that store availability is limited, so shoppers may need to be quick if they want to secure one.
Alternatively, shoppers could browse the options available from other retailers. For example, Dunelm sells a Portable Fire Pit with Lid for £45. The high street store says the item is ‘ideal for picnics, bonfires, beaches, and parties.’

The description adds: “Bring extra warmth to outdoor get‑togethers with this handy fire pit, designed to set up quickly wherever you need it. The foldable legs tuck away neatly, helping you save space when it’s not in use. Its lightweight build makes it straightforward to carry, whether you’re heading to the beach or settling in for an evening in the garden.
“A secure lid is included to help keep things tidy before and after use. Perfect for picnics, bonfires, parties and everything in between, it’s a great way to enjoy time outdoors. Built for easy use, it lets you focus on relaxing with friends and family.”
While Dunelm’s website allows customers to leave feedback, the new product has no reviews at the time of writing. However, shoppers looking to read reviews before making a purchase might be interested in the Cosiscoop Fire Lantern Table Top Heater, which is currently on sale from £99 to £79.20.
