It comes after Brits were urged to act fast and grab a popular garden item that flew off the shelves last time.
Taking to their TikTok page ' homebargainsofficialuk ', the retailer shared a video of their 'adorable Highland cow' that fits perfectly in their garden.
The Highland cow, nicknamed Hattie, can fit nicely in the corners of your garden.
'HATTIE'S BACK'
When Home Bargains released this line earlier this year before selling out, people were even placing them around their home.
Even better, the budget retailer is selling the cute objects for £9.99.
They also have larger ones selling at £24.99 as well.
Captioning their video, Home Bargains wrote: 'Last time she sold out fast. Don't blink. Hattie's back.'
And the Highland cow, which comes in different colours and flower themes, has got people excited that they are back as many people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: 'I need 4 of them RIGHT NOW.'
Whilst others tagged their friends in the comments section to share the good news.

May gardening jobs
The Sun's Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared the tasks you need to crack on with in May.
GARDEN growth can go from nought to ninety in May, depending on the weather. The last UK frosts are generally seen at the beginning of the month, so all of a sudden there's so much more to do and grow.
Plant out dahlia tubers
It's a joy to finally plant out your dahlia tubers. Remember how big they can get - and space accordingly - anything up to half a metre apart.
It's a good idea to put your support stakes in now instead of trying to work around them.
And make sure you include lots of well rotted manure or decent compost to feed it and then mulch to keep it moist and suppress weeds. They generally start blooming in July.
Final feed to Spring flowers
You can give a cheeky feed to all your remaining tulips and daffodils.
Although the majority of bulbs aren't guaranteed to come back year after year any more, as long as you've left them to die back naturally there's a good chance they'll have stored enough energy to come back again. Tomato feed is fine.
Tie up climbers
Your clematis, honeysuckle and rambling roses should be well on their way by now - try to use plastic free string to tie them back into their support, or tuck them round each other to make sure they don't sprout off in crazy directions.
Feed the lawn
It's not too late to give your lawn a good feed.
Whether you use granular or liquid, it can give it a good boost to see it through the harsher summer months.
While mowing, don't go too low with your cut length yet and never take more than a third off the grass height.
Get creative
It's also time to get creative with hanging baskets and pots.
Trailing pelargoniums, which a lot of people call geraniums, and Begonias are a good, low cost way of getting lovely returning blooms throughout the summer in your baskets.
And pots can be planted with spring bulbs.
Don't forget the greenhouse!
Give your greenhouse a good tidy and clean the glass inside and out.
The improved light will help plants grow quicker inside and tidying is good for the soul.
You can just use a household white wine vinegar and water solution - or even neat if you're feeling spendy - which gives a really good shine.
