So it's pretty much a done deal that Home Bargains' new version of their viral hot air balloon solar lights are also going to be a sell out success.

The budget retail giant delighted gardening fans with a ground stake version of the pretty decoration for £3.99 earlier this year.
And now, Home Bargains bosses have given the solar light a "cute" upgrade for summer.
The Heart Shaped Hot Air Balloon Solar Lights come in a pack of two and are priced at £5.99.
Store bosses say: "Add a whimsical touch to your garden with the Firefly 2 Heart-Shaped Hot Air Balloon Solar Lights.
"These charming solar lights feature a beautiful heart-shaped hot air balloon design, perfect for creating a cosy, magical atmosphere.
"With a built-in rechargeable battery, they're energy-efficient and ready to shine when you need them most.
"The lights are easy to install—just set them up in your desired spot, and they'll automatically turn on at dusk.
"Plus, the flame LED effect adds a warm, flickering glow, making these lights the perfect decorative touch for any outdoor space."
The lights haven't arrived in stores yet so you'll need to be quick to snap them up online.
And some shoppers have already been lucky enough to bag them.

We recently shared how fans are racing to Home Bargains to snap up a "fabulous" plant that will give their flowerbed a colour boost - and it's only £2.99.
And the cheap plant is even renowned for reseeding each year, meaning you're getting great value for your money.
Posting on the BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, one bargain hunter shared a snap of her garden buy.
Julia said alongside the snap: "Fabulous snapdragons, Antirrhinum, 20 in a pack for £2.99 at Home Bargains."
This works out at just 15p per plant.
Unsurprisingly, Julia was so impressed with her find that she picked up two packs.
Antirrhinums are cheerful annual plants, guaranteed to brighten up flower borders and containers.
Commonly known as snapdragons, they are hailed by garden experts as easy-to-grow, old-fashioned cottage garden plants, beloved by children and bees.
They come in a variety of colours and heights, and therefore can be grown in a variety of situations.
