The budget retailer has become a hot spot for gardeners and DIY whizzes looking to transform their garden this summer.
From adorable garden decor to affordable garden furniture, the store has everything you could need.
And one woman has found the 'cutest' buy to add to your garden that will add a pop of colour and invite birds to our garden.
Rachael Coy took to social media with her latest find, a Mailbox Bird House.
The adorable red structures come in different mailbox shapes and feature a cute statue of a robin on top
Rachael shared pictures of the two she picked up, adding: "Cute little mailbox bird houses/feeders!
"Home Bargains £3.99 each!"
While the garden must-have is advertised as a simple bird house, Rachael decided to add some bird feed inside and it worked perfectly.
It was the perfect addition to add a fun twist to your garden for a budget-friendly price.
She shared the purchase on the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, which boasts over 2.6 million members.
'I need these,' cry Home Bargains fans as 'cutest' viral PJs return to shelves.mp4
People loved the garden accessory and couldn't wait to grab it for themselves.
One person wrote: "I want one of these."
Another commented: 'Omg love them."
"They are lovely!" penned a third.
Top 5 Spring Gardening Jobs

Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives.
1. Clean your garden
Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech's Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.
2. Weeding
Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round.
3. Hedge maintenance
Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.
4. Composting
Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.
5. Look after your lawn
Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Oh those are cute."
"Got mine today, so cute,' claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: 'I'll have a look," for their next visit to the store.

To apply for a council home, you need to fill out and hand in an application to your local authority. To find your local authority, simply use the Government's council locator tool on its website. Once you have access to your local council's website, it should offer you guidelines on how to complete your application. After applying, you'll most likely have to join a waiting list. Bear in mind, even if you are put on a waiting list, this doesn't guarantee you a council house offer. Your council should also offer you advice on how to stay in your current home and solve any issues you might have, such as problems with a private landlord or mortgage. You are eligible to apply for council housing if you are a British citizen living in the UK providing have not lived abroad recently. Each council has its own local rules about who qualifies to go on the housing register in its area, but it is based on "points" or a "banding" system. For example, you're likely to be offered housing first if you: are homeless live in cramped conditions have a medical condition made worse by your current home are seeking to escape domestic violence Once you are high enough on a council's waiting list, it will contact you when a property is available. Some councils let people apply at the age of 18, while others let you apply even sooner at 16-year-olds. EU workers and their families and refugees may also be eligible. A council house is reached through a points system, so depending on your housing needs, you may be considered low priority. The council will contact you about any available property once you are high enough on the waiting list. There is no limit on how long you can expect to be on the waiting list. Mia's council house has since taken the internet by storm, leaving fellow Facebook users totally divided. Whilst many liked the greenery, others weren't so sure of the look - which they dubbed living in ''a jungle'' and even ''a cannabis farm''. One troll said: 'Wow that's a lot of greenery plants. Like a jungle in there.'' ''How long does it take to water them all?'' another wondered. ''More plants than Garden Centre!!'' a third chuckled. A fat hit back at the critics, writing: ''Wow. I am speechless at the amount of plants. Absolutely breath taking. Your home is beautiful and the plants are incredible.'' ''No swap to offer but just wanted to say I love how much your home looks like a jungle fairy tale!'' a fan added.
