Alongside the larger panda, shoppers can also pick up a smaller version for just £9.99, a saving of £20 off the regular price.
Home Bargains teased: 'You need this panda in your garden," and cheekily warned, "Warning — this panda will judge your garden gnomes."
Fans quickly flooded the comments section, raving about the new addition.
One excited shopper wrote: "I need a panda," while another said: "Omg, I love these pandas."
A third added: "Probably the cutest garden gnome I've ever seen!"
Others shared their excitement after getting their hands on the bargain.

Several fans tagged their friends, encouraging them to join in the panda craze.

These cheerful, self-seeding plants were hailed by gardening fans as a "fabulous" find and perfect for brightening up flowerbeds from June to October.
Home Bargains also delighted green-fingered customers by launching the Jardin Perfect Garden Watering Globes, a genius gadget available at just 99p for a pack of two.

Trustees to close Knighton and District Community Support
FUNDING concerns will result in a Powys charity that has provided vital support to its local community for more than 30 years being shut down. The trustees of Knighton and District Community Support have announced that, 'with great regret', the charity will be closed down in the coming weeks. Following a revelation earlier this month that the charity was struggling to secure its future, an emergency public meeting was called by its trustees. That meeting was held at Knighton Community Centre on Monday night, August 18, where chairperson Yvonne Moses announced that the trustees had come to the decision to close down Knighton and District Community Support. Chairperson Yvonne Moses said: 'It is with great regret that the trustees have agreed to close the charity, but all the trustees will be ready to work with any new volunteers who come forward to start a new group to run the transport scheme.' The charity runs a community transport scheme that helps people who haven't got a car, can't drive or have medical appointments to attend, as well as shopping trips and much more. The charity has been subsidising these journeys using money from grants and their furniture barn. The charity's furniture barn, which has provided steady income over the years, will close at the end of September and the office will shut at the end of October. It is still hoped that volunteers can be sourced in order to salvage the community transport scheme, although that is far from guaranteed. A packed audience crammed into the community centre on Monday, with the meeting called to clear the air, following what it called several misleading social media posts that appeared online at the beginning of August. 'The charity is not making as much money as in the past and this is mainly due to the lottery grant finishing and falling sales at the furniture barn,' Jake Moses, the charity's finance manager, was quoted as saying, in a post that appeared on the Knighton (Powys) Open Forum Facebook page on Tuesday. 'The charity has been running the barn and a shop but can no longer afford to do this. One of the reasons being in October 2024 the van used to collect furniture and bigger items to sell in the barn went out of use. 'Another reason was with the rise in online market sites and people having less money many were trying to sell items instead of donating them. 'The trustees are responsible for money owed if the charity continued and went into debt. 'The charity has tried to raise money by applying for grants and starting a gofundme page which brought in a few hundred pounds.' Yvonne thanked everyone for their support over the years and said a special thank you to the staff and volunteers who have worked hard for years. Nick Venti, from Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations (PAVO), said the organisation would support any new group that is formed to take on the transport side of things. Knighton and District Community Support initially announced on August 4 that it would be closing down the transport side of the charity due to a lack of funding. However, further evidence revealed the very future of the charity was under threat. Charity chiefs said they have tried desperately over the last six months to secure the future of the transport service, but to no avail. The Knighton and District Community Support project was formed by the churches in Knighton in 1994 and formally constituted as a charity in 1997.

My plan for a wealth tax
Reading Careless People, an exposé of life within Facebook written by a Kiwi, it occurred to me that one potential advantage that the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand have over the US is we do not unthinkingly idolise the very rich. Americans sometimes find this confusing: it always irked transplanted American bankers in London that local employees were eager to make a few million quid, but lost interest beyond a certain threshold. Once they had a rectory in the Cotswolds, an Aga, two labradors and a Range Rover it was game over, you win. This is because the US is more of a money/power economy, whereas the Commonwealth countries are to a greater extent prestige economies. We shouldn't bemoan this, but turn it to our advantage instead. Here's how. It's a wealth tax. But wait. Traditionally the proponents of a wealth tax have implicitly attacked the wealthy. I think a better line of attack is to highlight people who should be really wealthy but aren't. At the moment, I think it unlikely that Sir Tim Berners-Lee is cruising round the Med on a 600ft megayacht crammed with bikini-clad supermodels. Nor is Sir Stanley Whittingham (co-inventor of the lithium-ion battery) sunning himself on an inflatable flamingo in an infinity pool overlooking Hvar. We don't even know who invented chicken tikka masala. All three have made many billions, perhaps trillions, of pounds – unfortunately, for other people. I once met the daughter of one of the four British and Australian men instrumental in the discovery and creation of penicillin. As I remember, she did live in the Cotswolds. I didn't see any evidence of a Range Rover, though. In a truly just world, she'd have a brand-new V8 Overfinch conversion, with light-up wheels. In short, any debate about wealth is meaningless unless we acknowledge that it is perfectly possible to create wealth without extracting it and that, correspondingly, it is also possible to extract wealth without creating it. Economists don't get this. So we have shovelled billions of dollars into the maw of Facebook without any evidence that the company is capable of enacting a single new idea. It's mostly extractive. Mark Zuckerberg is a big digital Duke of Westminster, without the redeeming charm or style. By contrast, I know Elon Musk's politics are a bit dicey, but he does keep trying new things. To be honest, if he invaded Poland I'd probably move there. But here's the thing. For every great idea you can monetise yourself, there are 20 that you can't – and it is these ideas which create wealth. So what's the plan? Well, if rich people are so brilliantly inventive (and some of them are), call them out at their own game. Instigate a wealth tax but hypothecate 25 per cent of the proceeds to an innovation fund. With 5 per cent, you retroactively reward unrecognised wealth creators: it would be nice to give Sir Stanley a Bentley, say, or an all-female bodyguard unit like Colonel Gaddafi (he may not actually want these things, admittedly: what you got there is a disturbing glimpse inside my imagination). With the remaining 20 per cent you instigate a prize fund worth billions to reward people for ideas which are impossible to monetise – the Harrison 'Longitude' Prize for the 21st century. If they are so clever, the rich can then earn their money back. I myself have an idea which would reduce needless GP visits by 50 per cent while costing nothing. If you can get a Rolls-Royce Spectre past NHS Procurement, it's yours. Out there somewhere is someone who knows a far better way of fixing potholes, solving the house-building crisis or reducing innumeracy. This is what we need to grow the economy, rather than a magical brainfart from Rachel Reeves.
