No need for pesky batteries, cables or wiring.
Aldi's classy 'Solar Stainless Steel Bollard Stake Lights' cost just £4.99, over eight quid less per light than Value Lights' version, which costs £54.99 (£13.75 each) for a pack of four.
One happy customer described them as 'stately, but not overstated,' crediting the lights for allowing her to turn her garden into an 'elegant grotto.'
Built to last, the lights, which measure 7.5 x 7.5 x 57.5 cm, come with a two-year warranty- quite a show of confidence for an outdoor gadget.
Sue Newton wrote on Facebook: 'Love them, so stunning, welcoming and cosy- perfect for summer months.'
Carole Bining wrote: 'Love all the lights, it lets me sit there with my book and my little ones all evening long.
Linda Ann Speakman agreed: 'Gorgeous, so cosy with all the lights.'
Debbie Whitefeather added: 'Magnificent, really helped me with all my feng shui.'
Considering all the online excitement, shoppers are advised to pop down to the budget superstore quickly before they sell out.
The lights are part of Aldi's broader summer garden range, which also includes decorative lights, furniture, and lattice planters.
But as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone and you won't be able to find them online.
You'll need to head down to the middle aisle of your local Aldi if you want to bag one, and it's worth checking ahead using the store locator on their website to avoid disappointment.
What are Aldi Specialbuys?
Specialbuys are unique and exciting products that you can find exclusively in Aldi stores.
The products are launched in stores every Thursday and Sunday and can include anything from DIY items to beauty products.
You can pick up a leaflet in-store, browse online, or sign up to Aldi's mailing list to get a sneak preview of what is to come.
There are other ways to save at Aldi and it is always worth keeping a lookout for the many dupes that the retailer launches from time to time.
One Aldi worker recently revealed all the new beauty dupes that have landed in stores.
As well as dupes of branded food items, the retailer also has beauty products and fragrances that sell out as soon as they hit the shelves.

Tesco to shed light on sales as ‘awful April' bill hikes squeeze budgets

Tesco shareholders will be watching closely for signs that it is managing to fend off competition as the supermarket price war heats up and 'awful April' bill hikes eat into household income. The UK's biggest supermarket chain will unveil its financial results for the first three months of its financial year on Thursday. Tesco recently signalled that a price war was mounting within the sector, saying that it expects to make as much as £400 million less in profit in the year ahead as a result of what it called 'a very competitive market'. Asda has promised its biggest price cuts in 25 years under returning boss Allan Leighton, in a bid to revive the languishing chain. The rapid growth of discounters Aldi and Lidl in the UK has also driven more competition as supermarkets move to match some of their prices to low-cost alternatives. Tesco is expecting to generate a group adjusted operating profit of between £2.7 billion and £3 billion for the year to February 2026, down from the £3.1 billion made over the latest year. A group of analysts for AJ Bell said that, despite fears of a supermarket price war, Tesco's share price was close to a 12-year high. 'Asda's reboot under new chair Allan Leighton prompted such concerns but, for now, the competition seems relatively limited in scope, with a focus on Clubcard and loyalty scheme customers and loss-leaders that drive footfall,' they said. 'Mr Leighton claims he can see the green shoots of recovery at Asda, but the latest Kantar survey of market share in the UK grocery market suggests that Tesco, Aldi and Lidl continue to have both Asda and Morrisons for breakfast.' Asda is the UK's third-largest UK supermarket, behind Sainsbury's, but remains close to being overtaken by Aldi which has seen its share of the market grow steadily. Meanwhile, investors will be looking for an update from Tesco on how consumers are faring following the onset of higher bills during what has been dubbed as 'awful April'. Household bills including for electricity, water, phone deals, and council tax rose for many from the beginning of the month. Financial markets analyst Michael Hewson said trading updates from the UK's biggest retailers can give a strong indication of consumer trends and any signs of weakness in the UK economy. He said Tesco's Booker division – the food wholesaler – was the 'main drag' on its latest annual sales figures, 'largely due to weakness in its tobacco business, as well as the fast-food market serviced by its Best Food logistics brand'. 'This business supplies the likes of Burger King, Pret a Manger, Pizza Express, Zizzi, Nando's and Pizza Hut, and saw a like-for-like sales decline of 5.1% to £1.44 billion,' he said.

Aldi's luxury men's fragrance for Father's Day is £137 cheaper than Burberry classic

Treat dad to a trio of luxury fragrances that cost just £6.99 a bottle. We're getting closer to Father's Day and some of us might be struggling for gift inspiration. Let's face it, dad's can often be difficult to buy for. A sure fire gift for any guy, no matter his age, is a luxury fragrance that he can use on special occasions. While they can often be pricey, Aldi has come to the rescue with its latest Specialbuys. ‌ Ahead of Sunday, June 15, the budget supermarket chain has said that its trio of men's fragrances are "back by popular demand". Although, as is the case with all middle aisle icons, they won't be around for long. ‌ Retailing at just £6.99 for each 100ml bottle, these fragrances for him offer a more budget-friendly take on designer brands, saving up to £130 compared to Burberry, Givenchy and Hugo Boss. The biggest saving can be found on the Lacura Iconic Man Eau de Parfum that has been described as offering a "bold and refined essence", with notes of pine, olibanum, benzoin, incense and a ground base note of cedar for depth and sophistication. This luxurious budget-friendly scent is said to be similar to Burberry's Hero Parfum, which comes in at a staggering £144 for the same 100ml bottle size, making Aldi's a whopping £137 cheaper. If dad prefers something with a herby touch, then there's the Lacura Ambition Eau de Parfum that "redefines modern masculinity", offering notes of cardamom, sage and French Narcissus that has been mixed with Madagascan vetiver, warm vanilla, and earthy cedar. ‌ As another 'dupe', Ambition has been compared to Givenchy's Gentleman Society, a deep, woody scent that would set shoppers back £107 for 100mls, making it over £100 more expensive than Aldi's version. Last, but certainly not least, the trio is finished up with "refreshing" and "invigorating" Lacura Island Oasis Eau de Parfum that will transport dad to an island escape thanks to aroma of sea salt, ripe coconut, lemon essence, cashmere wood and sandalwood. ‌ It offers another affordable option for bargain hunters, as it is said to provide a similar scent to the Hugo Boss Bottled Pacific For Him that comes in at £40 for 100ml, a £33 difference from Aldi's bottle. Aldi's trio of luxury fragrances for men is not the only gift that shoppers can buy for dad ahead of Father's Day, as the German discounter also recently brought back its viral Beer Dispenser for just £24.99. Suitable to use with beer can sizes 330ml, 350ml, 440ml and 500ml, it can be easily worked by using two AA batteries, while a three-year guarantee ensures shoppers are covered for any damages. ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The German supermarket has re-released the bladeless fan to help you keep cool - but it won't be there for long. The modern design bladeless fan has three speed settings, high, medium, low, plus three modes: normal, nature and sleep. You can customise your sleep with the various modes and tailor it to your own temperature needs during the day - and most importantly, for a good night's sleep at bedtime. There's a handy timer (from 1 – 12 hours), a seven colour LED lighting ring, fixed and oscillation function, swivel control and a remote control. Part of Aldi's Specialbuys, the chic Design Fan comes in at £39.99 making it much easier on the bank balance than rivals. Plus, with its bladeless design, it's safe around little people or pets. The sought-after accessory is also incredibly quiet and makes only 56 decibels of sound. Ready to fly off the store's middle aisles once again, the affordable, sleek gadget comes in £200 cheaper than the Dyson original and £30 cheaper than Lidl's own. Fans commented: "I LOVE the fan!! It comes with a remote, three fan speeds, can have the air coming in, going out or both... AND a timer. Happy girl right here!"

"Featuring three speed levels, a 0-12-hour timer, remote control, LED light display, four ice boxes and automatic air-swing, it's the ideal alternative to pricey air conditioning."
