But now, TK Maxx has cashed in on the incredibly popular trend - and have even released their very own version of the viral hot air balloon lights that sent shoppers wild just days ago.
One savvy shopper was recently left gobsmacked when browsing the aisles in her local TK Maxx, when she spotted the brand new affordable finds.
Eager to alert others to the purse-friendly products, Catherine Jacinto Dela Cruz took to social media to give a close-up look at the chain's new products, which start from just £3.99.
Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 835,300 members, Catherine uploaded a picture of the large selection of solar lights and simply penned: 'Solar powered lights at TK Maxx.'
Not only can shoppers now get their hands on a pack of 10 Glowworm LED Metal Diamond String Lights for just £3.99, but there's even a Colour Changing LED Solar Crackle Ball on the shelves too.
If you really want to add style to your outside space, shoppers are sure to be stunned by the solar powered Spiralight, which is priced at just £7.99 and if you ask us, is the perfect garden feature for balmy nights.
As well as this, there's also a pack of 100 Firefly String Lights, that are bound to brighten up your space and leave your guests (and eagle-eyed neighbours) impressed.
But that's not all, as there's even a pack of four Fairy Mushroom Stake Lights, that will turn your garden into a lush oasis in a matter of seconds.
As part of TK Maxx's £12.99 and under range, shoppers will also find a pack of Triple Starburst String Lights, as well as a Starburst Stake Light.
Also in this range, shoppers can nab the Eureka Festoons, which are great for adding colour to a dull space.
Beautiful garden pieces in Home Bargains that'll transform your outdoor haven
There's also the Eureka Orbs, that are brilliant for those looking to ensure your space feels luxe.
And if you thought that was it, prepare to be open-mouthed when you see the SkyRunner String Lights.
Not only do they look strikingly similar to the hot air balloon solar lights that sent many wild recently, but they have also been hailed as 'perfect for adding a burst of colour' to your home or garden.
How Does TK Maxx Flog Designer for Cheap? TK Maxx follows an off-price business model to get designer products for cheap
It buys merchandise from various brands and designers at a discount and then sells it to customers at lower prices than traditional retail stores
The selection at its outlets often includes overstocked items, last season's styles and goods from cancelled orders.
The Gold Label is a premium collection of designer and luxury products offered by TK Maxx.
If you love designer clothes, this is the tag you want to look out for on pieces.
The hot air balloon string lights are currently available to buy from B&Q for £18.99, but those on a budget will be pleased to know that they are part of TK Maxx's £12.99 and under range.
They are said to provide "decor by day" and "light by night" and are spot on for those looking to create a "unique statement".
Not only does the "intelligent technology" ensure the lights automatically switch on at dusk and then off at dawn, but they can be hung from trees or fences for the ultimate, magical effect.
But you'll need to move fast if you want to get your hands on these purse-friendly buys, as like everything in TK Maxx, they will be available while stocks last and are sure to sell out fast.

Is It Time To Give The Divisive Jeans A Second Chance?

As part of my job, I spend hours scrolling through websites, tracking what's trending and what people are adding to their baskets. One morning, I stopped in my tracks - there they were again: M&S was selling a pair of jeggings with 11,870 reviews, a 4.4-star rating, and 75% of shoppers recommending them, already running low in stock. Jeggings defined a particular moment in fashion history. Picture this: Spring 2010, they were the skinny-fit staple you wore with a Chloé Paddington slung over your arm and an Alexander McQueen scarf looped around your neck. But while they promised the stretch of leggings with the look of jeans, many fell out of love with them because they weren't as comfortable as we hoped, never mind the the endless adjusting and inevitable elastane fatigue. But the day we never thought would come has arrived, and, now, they've been reimagined. Today's versions are softer, more sculpting, and cut from fabrics that lift and flatter, with elasticated high waistbands for ease. One M&S reviewer summed it up simply, saying they had 'waited for these to come back into stock' and that they love 'the fit'. According to Megan, a stylist at Silkfred, the jegging's enduring appeal comes from 'comfort and ease of movement while still giving you the streamlined look of denim.' She describes them as 'polarising' because they sit in the 'in-between space of jeans and leggings' and can instantly conjure memories of the early 2010s - the era of over-styled club looks, heavy eyeliner, and dodgy digital camera snaps. Still, she pointed out that for anyone who loves the feel of leggings and wants skinny silhouettes back in their wardrobe, jeggings are 'an incredibly practical option.' On whether we're seeing a genuine revival, Megan links the resurgence to fashion's wider knack for anything nostalgic, saying that with retailers like M&S reintroducing them, more brands are leaning into the late-2000sand early 2010s aesthetic. She doesn't expect them to dominate denim trends - 'we never saw a jegging on the runway' - but said the rise of comfort-first dressing and body-contouring styles is helping them find their audience again. While Megan believes jeggings will always carry a nostalgic edge, they can be rendered a classic style if worn in minimal ways. Her advice? 'They can look timeless when styled in a minimal, elevated way. Perhaps a dark indigo wash or black jeggings with a crisp, oversized shirt, a blazer, and pointed flats. The key is keeping the rest of the outfit simple and avoiding the over-styled early-2010s look we remember from their first heyday.' In short, jeggings may never reclaim their 2010 peak, but in fashion, no trend is ever truly gone for good. 1. M&S, Ultra High Ankle Leather Jeggings 2. M&S, High Waisted Jeggings Indigo Mix 3.

Boden's £140 'versatile' jacket stylish for summer and autumn now £56

Boden shoppers have been raving about a 'versatile' jacket that is stylish for both the summer and autumn seasons. The Holly Collared Knitted Jacket is currently on sale, with its initial retail price ranging from £130 to £140 down to as little as £52 to £56, which means shoppers can save as much as £84. The jacket comes in three different colours - navy and ivory (was £140 now £56), warm ivory (was £130 down to £52) and strawberry tart red (was £130 down to £52), with sizes ranging from 6 to 22. The Holly Collared Knitted Jacket comes with gold-tone buttons, which adds a touch of elegance to the clothing. It also comes with a neat, boxy cut, creating a regular, easy shape that isn't too tight. You could style this jacket with a pair of trousers, skirt or dress for any informal or formal setting.

Elsewhere, Joanie's Soft Tailored Blazer, which comes in eight different colours, was £99 but is now as low as £39.60. But for a jacket with a different style, you could purchase the Per Una Pure Cotton Embroidered Gilet for £49.50 at M&S. Back at Boden and the Holly Collared Knitted Jacket has received a rating of 4.5 out of five stars and 66 reviews. One happy reviewer said: "Fits perfectly. Very good quality and looks fantastic". While another had one issue with its sizing, they were overall happy with their purchase. They said: "This is a fabulous jacket and excellent quality. I purchased size 12 and body wise it fits me perfectly but I am short so it may be too short for a taller lady. Sleeves are too long for me but I will shorten them". Meanwhile, another shopper described the jacket as "very chic" with "Parisian vibe" and said they would be "stylish in summer and autumn". They added: "Gorgeous button detail. Bargain in sale too. Thank you Boden. Very happy indeed". Unfortunately, not everyone was pleased with their purchase. One customer reviewed: "Lovely jacket and beautiful colour. Unfortunately the style didn't suit me, so I sent it back. The return/refund was quick and easy." And another shopper said: "I ordered this thinking it was more of a cardigan, my fault as it does say jacket. It is quite heavy and felt a bit stiff and uncomfortable. Also quite short in the body so unfortunately not for me I returned it." But others praised the jacket for its versatility. "Such great quality and I can wear it with jeans, smart dress and as a jacket with lots of other clothing," one remarked. And another said: "Beautiful knitted jacket! I have worn with jeans and kitten slingbacks as a casual outfit but could definitely wear with smart navy trousers, very versatile. "The knit is beautiful and a good weight to it, very good quality as usual from Boden. The fit is true to size."
