Aldi's Solar Mosaic Water Feature was launched last year as part of their Garden Portofino range, which was inspired by Tuscany.
But the £49.99 feature is back this year, and shoppers have been saying they are getting Moroccan vibes from the device.
The water feature has a background of mosaic tiles and a stone-effect finish and runs on eco-friendly solar power.
This means you don't have to worry about wasting any water or using electricity to power it.
It also comes with screws so you can attach it to an outside wall.
Shopper Lilith showed how she snapped it up for her garden and loved the 'peaceful' effect.
On her @lilith666xo account, she raved: 'If you're a water sign girly and feel at peace by the sound of water then girl RUN to Aldi cos I'm obsessed with this.
'I just wanna sit in my back garden ALL THE TIME NOW.'
Lilith said she had spotted the Solar Mosaic Water Feature last year, but hadn't been lucky enough to snap one up.
She said: 'This year when I knew they was coming in I waited outside af 8am and my local store only had 2 in stock.'
Many shoppers seemed desperate to get hold of one for themselves, with one saying: 'Omg I love it! I need to grab one!'
A second wrote: 'ALDI??? Girl I thought u were in Morocco.'
Meanwhile, one said: 'My mum bought one the other day and it's gorgeous!'

We also shared how Aldi is selling a nifty gadget that's £20 cheaper than the B&Q version and perfect for sorting your garden for summer.
The multi-functional tool will have your yard ready for BBQ parties and paddling pools in no time.
Aldi is selling an environmentally-friendly Electric Weed Killer for just £14.99.
It works as a hot-air blower which gets three jobs done as one single gadget.
On the Aldi website it states: "Grab yourself a multi-functional hot-air blower which performs as a weeder, BBQ lighter and hot air gun for removing paint and varnish to conquer all those garden tasks this year."
The 2000-watt machine has no harmful chemicals as it simply spits out hot air, killing the weeds.
8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden
Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots.
Tricyrtis
A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'.
Penstemon
I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes.
Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata'
With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it
will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade.
Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue'
A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your
garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period.
Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem'
If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers.
Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange'
A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days.
Rosa 'Noisette Carnee'
A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November.
Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel'
I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.

‘Taking it too far' fume shoppers as they hit out at ‘Mrs Hinch mums' over Aldi toys – but not everyone agrees
Some people have defended the toys GREY MATTER 'Taking it too far' fume shoppers as they hit out at 'Mrs Hinch mums' over Aldi toys – but not everyone agrees Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT was the homeware trend that everyone seemed to fall in love with. Velvet sofas, 'Live laugh love' signs and grey EVERYWHERE - with many people citing cleaning guru Mrs Hinch as their home decor inspiration. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 An Aldi middle aisle buy has left shoppers divided Credit: Alamy 2 People have claimed the grey toys are 'utterly depressing' But shoppers have blasted the trend for going "too far" after spotting "super depressing" grey toys in Aldi. The 100-pack of ball pool balls is currently priced at £4.99 in the bargain supermarket, and is available in grey or pink. After seeing the middle aisle buy in her local store, one woman fumed: "Unless babies/toddlers are colour blind, I'm not sure why you'd make toys colourless? "Taking the grey aesthetic too far. Do toys clash with your living room scheme? Plain weird." Her post on the BARGAIN LOVERS - Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More Facebook group, which boasts 841,000 members, quickly racked up a flurry of comments. Many people appeared disappointed by the "utterly depressing" toys due to their lack of colour and hit out at parents for prioritising their interior aesthetic over colourful buys for the kids. One said: "My living room is black, white and grey, but all my girls toys are ALWAYS going to be colourful. It's not fair to deprive a baby of colours for your own aesthetic." "You buy toys for kids. I don't know many kids who'd prefer these boring balls", chimed in a second. A third fumed: "Very bland, like a lot of beige nurseries." A fourth claimed: "So many triggered beige baby mums. By the time they're old enough to be using a ball put properly they can see colour just fine, it's super depressing." Parents race to Lidl for middle aisle bargains including 2 in 1 sandpit for £29 "Yep, made totally to match decor not for child enrichment", added a fifth. Meanwhile a sixth echoed: "Agreed. Couldn't live in a grey and silver house. Find it utterly depressing." Other social media users, however, have defended the grey toys and insisted their colour doesn't ruin the fun. "Really not sure why it matters, kids will still play in amongst them no matter the colour", insisted one. A second wrote: "It's really not that deep, and a plastic ball is a plastic ball." A third suggested: "Too much colour can be overwhelming and overstimulating. Probably the same reason so many people choose the neutral tones to decorate also." Someone else admitted: "I'm not going to lie. I'm the parent that has bought this in the past because it goes with my living room. Not really ashamed of it either." "Maybe just me, but I'm sorry if it don't match my living room I ain't buying it", agreed a fifth. And a sixth echoed: "I got grey to match my house. Looked gorgeous in our home and it mattered to me that it looked nice because that's who I am. Let people do what they like without judgement maybe?"

The best Aldi beers to buy, tried and tested
Aldi was named Drinks Retailer of the Year for the seventh year on the trot at the Retail Industry Awards in 2024, which can partly be attributed to its wines – for reasonable prices it delivers some excellent summer sips – but it also has a growing reputation for beer. You will find a good mix of well-known labels (Corona, San Miguel and Stella Artois, for example) along the aisles, nestled between own-brand replicas (an approach echoed at Lidl) that deliver the same level of quality but at a considerably lower price – as I discovered in a tasting of the supermarket's most commonly available brews. In fact, I found almost all of the dupes to be equal to, if not better than, their big-name equivalents. The only exceptions were the Rossini Lager (not a patch on Peroni) and the Harper's Brew Co IPA, which, while being a drinkable beer in its own right, can't hold a candle to St Austell's Proper Job, a true modern classic. You will find my tasting notes for both bottles below. While Aldi offers more lagers than anything else, as you'd expect, it does have an excellent set of options for ale drinkers – just surpassing Lidl's range, in my opinion. Traditional brews such as Abbot Ale and Shepherd Neame's Bishops Finger sit alongside high-quality craft cans including the irrepressible William Bros Brewing Co's Magma Hazy. I tested all of the following beers blind, so neither my own bias nor even the snazziest of packaging was able to influence my reviews. Here I share my recommendations for the best beers to buy at Aldi – as well as flagging those which aren't worth a pour.
