Aldi launches 'must-have' Christmas tree decorations but Britons must act fast as 'once they're gone, they're gone'

The collection also includes decorative versions of heated airers, pressure washers and kayaks, all available for a limited time as Aldi Specialbuys.

Aldi's unique baubles have arrived just in time for the Christmas tree decorating season, with half of Britons expected to have their trees up by Sunday, December 8, according to Aldi's survey of 2,000 Britons

Each decoration represents one of Aldi's most successful Specialbuy items, with the air fryer range being particularly popular since its introduction back in 2021.

The winged heated airer has seen remarkable success, with nearly 70,000 units sold over the past two years.

DIY enthusiasts have also made the pressure washer and petrol chainsaw consistent bestsellers for three years running.

The inflatable hot tub decoration reflects another customer favourite, with the actual product repeatedly selling out whenever it appears in Aldi's middle aisle.

The Specialbuy baubles have been crafted using 3D-printed resin and hand-finished with glitter and gemstones.

Research by Aldi found that the supermarket's Specialbuys truly strike a chord with shoppers.

Indeed, over three-quarters of Britons admit to making unplanned Specialbuy purchases during routine food shopping trips.

What's more, 90 per cent of shoppers revealed that they browse the middle aisle during their weekly shop, whether they make a purchase or not.

These shopping patterns demonstrate the enduring popularity of Aldi's ever-changing Specialbuy range, from gardening equipment to kitchen gadgets.

With 64 per cent of shoppers "looking forward to visiting to visit the middle aisle when they shop", the supermarket hopes to translate this interest into love for its festive baubles.
