Britons should act fast to avoid disappointment

As temperatures soar across the nation, Britons will likely be spending more and more time in their gardens.

To elevate your outdoor space, Aldi has brought back its popular Solar Hot Air Balloon Lights, priced at £6.99.


The decorative lights, which became a viral sensation following their 2024 debut, aim to "add a touch of magic to gardens".

Aldi has restocked the popular items as part of its Specialbuys range, alongside the rest of the supermarket's July Garden Range.


The lights come in four colour options - green, red, blue, and purple - and feature a realistic flickering flame effect designed to enhance outdoor spaces during summer evenings.

The lights have attracted significant attention on social media since their initial release last year, with customers urging friends and relatives to purchase them on sight.

"Shoppers have been obsessed with these lights since their launch in 2024, with fans even taking to social media asking friends and family to 'grab them' if they see the product in their local Aldi store," the retailer noted.

The solar-powered decorations form part of a broader garden lighting collection that includes new animal-themed options.

Among the fresh additions are Solar Hanging Monkey or Sloth Lights (£9.99), featuring warm white LEDs suitable for hanging from trees, fences, or parasols.

The wider July garden range encompasses various outdoor items beyond the lighting options.

Additional decorative pieces include LED Ball Lights (£14.99), Solar Crackle Stakes in four-packs (£9.99), and Solar Swaying Globe Stake Lights (£3.99).
