Home Bargains' £10 garden animals have 'creepy' feature some shoppers love
The discount store has upped its effort in the garden section as Brits prepare for the warmer weather
Home Bargains is dividing fans when it comes to the latest viral garden decoration hitting shelves. Some people have said they love the concept - but other can't ignore it's "creepy" feature that becomes obvious once the sun goes down.
As the warmer weather draws closer, Brtis will be getting their gardens ready to make the most of the summer sun. This can sometimes mean a major makeover after months of winter neglect but a few simple decorations could be enough to make all the difference.
Lately, Home Bargains has proven to be the affordable place to go for items that don't break the bank but maintain style and personality. In recent months, the store has provided hit after hit with its £20 grass-covered animal topiaries, massive range of dazzling solar lights and more.
But, the latest animal-based creation has the fandom divided. Some can't wait to add it to their outdoor spaces whilst others firmly want it left on the shelves.
The latest solar light comes in two unique forms. Standing at 24cm tall, shoppers can pick from the Novelty Solar Light with Animated LED Eyes in either frog or snail form for £9.99 each.
The hypnotic lights claim to "brighten up your garden" with "animated LED eyes that come alive at night." Home Bargains claims that the critters add "a touch of joy and whimsy" to gardens - but not everyone agrees.
When sharing a clip on TiKTok of the lights in action, shoppers made their feelings known. One joked: "Imagine that in the pitch black of night! Creepy!"
Another wrote: "Don't know how I feel about those eyes!" But, it wasn't all bad - some even felt the need to 'adopt' an army of the bright-eyed creatures.
A third commented: "OMG I need that frog in my garden. Going to run to Home Bargains!" Over on the Instagram version of this post, someone said: "I love these little frogs - so cute!"
And, a fifth person posted: "Going to get a few of these for all around the garden. I'm frog obsessed!"
Despite the difference of opinion, solar lights are proving to be a popular addition to lots of gardens this summer. As no wiring or batteries are required, it makes these eco-friendly and cost-effective lights a no-brainer for most gardeners.

Joining presenter Jordan North on Capital Breakfast this week, the Dance Moms star said: "You know what's interesting? As hectic as life is, and as much as that noise goes on, I feel like Christopher and I discovered this beautiful house together. "And this house is earthquake proof, and it's fireproof, and bulletproof. "And you know, we discovered this house and found the keys, and we took the keys and locked ourselves in, and now it's like... You know what I mean? I feel like that with myself, I feel like that with him." Jordan then quizzed JoJo on whether she had found her 'happy place' with Chris. The US star gushed: "Oh my god, absolutely! We're having the best time. He's just the best! "I was saying this to my parents the other day. Like, I'm decently nice; he makes me look like I'm mean! "And I'm like known for being nice, that's the thing. People say to me, 'Oh, you're so nice'. "He makes me we want to be nicer, because he's such a nice human. He's the best egg in the batch!

Yesterday JoJo said she is "shocked" at how close the pair have them have become in such a short amount of time. Speaking to Billboard, JoJo said: "It blows my mind that 30 days ago I would never have even imagined that I would be friends with Chris Hughes, that's the weirdest thing, much less be one of the closest people too me now in my life who I would die for. "I think its a combination of the shared experience but also in Big Brother, you have no phone, no outside communication, no distraction, nothing. "You only have each other. I love connecting and I love people and when someone comes into your life and you enjoy it, you can tell." LOVED-UP TRIP JoJo's interview comes fresh from a cosy weekend she spent with Chris and his family in the Cotswolds. The YouTuber shared their time together on social media, which included a series of loved-up snaps with the Love Island hunk. In one of the snaps, Chris could be seen picking his girlfriend up and carrying her, whilst in another they held hands. JoJo described holding her boyfriend's hand as "the one thing that can make everything better". She also shared pictures of the pair enjoying breakfast and cups of tea as she relaxed at Chris' family home. MISSING HER MAN JoJo, who fell for Chris in the Celebrity Big Brother house, said she struggled to go back to normal life without Chris when she returned to the US for a month. But now the American star, who hails from Nebraska, plans to spend more time in the UK. The couple also spent time together when JoJo was in England for her tour. The happy couple drove fans wild with an intimate backstage moment in a post to TikTok when the pair were seen hugging each other, holding hands and putting bracelets on each other. 4 JoJo spent a cosy weekend with Chris and his family in the Cotswold's at the weekend Credit: Instagram/Chris Hughes

World's sexiest volleyball star Kayla Simmons goes topless on beach as fans say ‘never been jealous of ocean until now'
KAYLA SIMMONS went topless and swam near sharks in her most Jaws-dropping photoshoot ever. The former university volleyball star modestly claimed she was just "playing mermaids". 19 Kayla Simmons lapped up both the sun and Instagram likes as fans foamed over 'one of her hottest' photoshoots Credit: 19 The fearless star went for a plucky dip Credit: 19 Fans believe Kayla was some-fin special Credit: 19 Admirers were awed by her boldness Credit: But her 1million Instagram followers believe it was more about thrills than gills as she dazzled on the beach and underwater. One admirer reflected: "Never been jealous of the ocean until now." Another fan claimed the social media sensation had "a smile to launch a thousand ships". Kayla's nautical but nice snaps included her lying on the sand in a bikini that was minus its upper half. She was also seen in a short video wading into the sea, still without a top. And once she plunged under, marine lovers might reckon some of the exotic sealife she was snapped with - including huge fish - was almost as impressive as Kayla's free-spirited dip. But woe betide anyone whispering that to her army of enthusiasts. One fan raved: "One of your hottest sets... so stunning Kayla!" Another wrote: "Everything about this is incredible." A third simply stated: "Most beautiful woman in the world." Kayla Simmons films herself in sauna wearing just a tiny bikini as 'world's sexiest volleyball player' sends fans wild And a fourth posted: "I love your natural beauty." A few observers did worry about what looked like sharks just metres away - with Kayla even seen swimming towards one such beast. And when she was asked where the snaps were taken, she replied: "First photo is Hawaii." That Pacific island state is home to around 40 types of shark - but nearly all those varieties are safe to humans, with bite attacks very rare. So Kayla probably felt safe beneath the surface being... "snapped". The part-time mermaid also proved she's a full-time marvel on Instagram - as she rapidly clocked up thousands of likes for her assortment of aquatic pics. A glimpse into her life on dry land! 19 Kayla played volleyball for Marshall University - although usually not in this outfit Credit: Instagram / Kaylasimmmons 19 She has built up a huge following on social media 19 On TikTok and Instagram she has a combined 1.8m following Credit: Instagram @kaylasimmmons 19 Kayla still plays volleyball occasionally and pulled off a trick shot with her bum Credit: INSTAGRAM @kaylasimmmons @outofsystemofficial 19 Kayla revealed how she keeps her peachy rear in perfect shape Credit: Instagram/kaylasimmmons 19 It's not just volleyball Kayla can play as she impressed at Top Golf 19 She regularly wows her fans with bikini snaps Credit: Instagram 19 Kayla 'gave a new meaning to sideboob' in this upload Credit: Instagram/Kaylasimmons 19 Kayla loves the beach Credit: Instagram @kaylasimmmons 19 Kayla gave this dog an eyeful Credit: Instagram @kaylasimmmons 19 And this little kitten didn't know where to look Credit: Instagram/kaylasimmmons 19 Kayla shared a collection of steamy photos to her Instagram from her summer trip around Europe Credit: Instagram/Kayla Simmons 19 Kayla lives a glamorous life Credit: Instagram/Kayla Simmons 19 She shared this seriously busty snap on Instagram Credit: Instagram @kaylasimmmons
