Shoppers race to Home Bargains for ‘adorable' garden decor that's actually ‘too nice to be outside'
HOME Bargains has been sending shoppers into a frenzy this spring with its adorable garden decor - from the viral hot air balloon solar lights to heart-shaped wreaths. But it appears that the discount retailer has outdone itself with an "absolutely gorgeous" new addition. 4 And it's so cute, in fact, that many people are displaying it inside their home instead of outdoors. The £24.99 Hattie the Highland Cow figure stands at around two feet tall and has been designed to survive the unpredictable UK weather. Its product description reads: "Bring a bit of countryside charm to your garden with our gorgeous Jardin Hattie The Highland Cow! "This adorable cow adds a fun, rustic touch to your garden, balcony, or even indoors. "Made to last, Hattie is built to handle the outdoors while still looking adorable. "Her unique design makes her the perfect conversation starter and a lovely addition to any spot in your home or garden." Unsurprisingly, shoppers have already been racing to get their hands on the cute cow. Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook, which boasts 2.6million members, delighted Lyn showed off her new buy as she said: "I couldn't resist buying this beautiful Highland cattle £24.99 at Home Bargains. "He's too nice to go outside so he's in my living room, looks pretty good." Other shoppers have agreed that the highland cow makes the perfect home decor. Aldi's Affordable Garden Gadgets: Potting Bench & More! One said: "I got mine for my birthday he sits nicely in my front room." "This would look lovely in your sitting room", someone else told a pal. A third gushed: "Omg S saw this yesterday, I def need one. I adore highland cows." "He'd look ace in the hallway", insisted a fourth. A fifth added: "I have one as well they are just fabulous." Meanwhile, a sixth chimed in: "Oh my gosh that's absolutely gorgeous." And if £24.99 is out of your price range, there is also a slightly smaller version available for £9.99. Both figures are currently sold out on the website, however, so you'll need to leg it to your nearest Home Bargains to pick one up. While you're in store, there's also a pretty garden solar you might want to keep an eye out for. Especially if you'd like your outdoor space to feel like "the cutest thing ever" in time for those BBQs and sunbathing sessions. And it will look perfect on your garden, pathway, patio, or driveway.
