Mum praises £2.50 Aldi lights that have made her garden 'sparkle'

Summer has arrived in the UK, and it's always a good time of year to take a look at your garden and see how you can make it look better for guests.

However, buying garden decor can sometimes be expensive - which is why you might want to take a look in Aldi, as one mum has hailed a simple buy that has 'transformed' the look of her outdoor space. Even better, they only come in at £2.50 each. 

The budget retailer is known for its impressive home and garden finds which are often hidden amongst the aisles.

Manchester Evening News writer Emma Gill says she 'absolutely loves' her affordable buy, because they are 'excellent value for money' but still look great.

Raving about the Aldi Solar Mini Spiral Lights, she said: "I love the design of them and how they can be scattered about the garden and hung off everything from trees, to hooks and parasols.

"You get four in a pack for £9.99, so, at less than £2.50 a light, that's really good value for money and, while they're described as 'mini' they're actually pretty big, around eight inches tall to the top of the handle.

"I bought the warm white LEDs, and hung them in trees, but you can get multi-coloured ones too."

If these don't match the vibe of your garden then don't worry - there are countless other decor and lighting items that you can pick up from Aldi for an affordable price.

Emma also picked up the Solar Geometric String Lights for her garden, which £6.99 for a set of 10. She said: "I hung them on the fence alongside a garland and some plants and it's made such a big difference to see that area glowing at night. They're also ideal to hang from trellis, trees and parasols too.

"The packs were among a range of garden lights available at Aldi."
