Aldi is selling an exotic garden ornament that may make you feel like you're on holiday
Credit: Aldi
Although Aldi is known mostly as a food retailer, they do sell other items from time to time.
As spring arrives and summer approaches and the UK is hit with a spell of warm weather, Brits may be looking to spruce up their garden.
Now, the discount supermarket chain seeks to provide the perfect answer.
Aldi is now selling a Moroccan-style garden light, called the 'Solar Marrakesh Lantern'.
It comes with one white LED light per lantern and it boasts a generous size, with a height of 23cm and a width of 22cm.
The detailed ornament is also available in two colours to suit different tastes or colour schemes.
It's also obtainable in either a copper or gold colour to give homeowners a sense of North African opulence.
The supermarket has set the price tag for an affordable £9.99 and it could be perfect for setting an intimate night-time ambience.
With round handles at the top of the decoration, it could be possible to even hang the light.
B&Q have a similar item which is available to buy from their online shop.

But its version - titled the Marrakech Solar Powered Garden Lantern - costs far more.
Although it's similar in size, with a height of 23.5cm and a width of 22.5cm, the item is only available in one bronze colour.
The homeware shop chain is advertising the light to be either a standing or hanging decoration.
However, B&Q is selling the decoration at over double the price of the Aldi version, at £24.95.

Five savvy ways to make your punnet of strawberries last longer
Plus, head to IKEA to pick up a stylish picnic blanket alternative for the summer SUN SAVERS Five savvy ways to make your punnet of strawberries last longer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WIMBLEDON tennis fans wolfed down more than 200,000 portions of strawberries – costing £2.70 each. The championships finished yesterday but you can still serve up some ace savings. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Make sure your punnet goes further with these tricks and recipes. WASH 'N' GO: Extend the shelf life of your punnet, £1.58 from Aldi, by washing the strawberries thoroughly first. Combine one part distilled white vinegar with three parts of cold water in a bowl. Swish the berries around to get rid of dirt and bacteria before removing and leaving to dry on a kitchen towel. Store your strawberries in an airtight container lined with kitchen roll, to absorb any moisture. SPEEDY PUDS: For a quick pudding, use your berries to whip up an Eton mess in minutes. Buy a pack of eight Specially Selected Gluten-Free Meringue nests, £1.25, and Cowbelle Light Real Dairy Whipped Cream, 250ml, £1.39, both Aldi. Crush up the meringue nests, add the whipped cream and then mix in your chopped strawberries. This should serve about five people for £4.22 — that is 84p a portion. SWEET TREATS: Turn your strawberries into a healthy snack or topping. Slice your berries, then air-fry on the dehydrate setting or a low heat for ten minutes. Store in an airtight container and sprinkle over pudding or cereal, or eat as you like. ICE IDEA: Use up your strawberries by blending with Just Essentials Fat Free Greek Style Yoghurt, 87p, and a dash of Vanilla Natural Flavouring, 79p, both Asda. Pour this into a lolly mould, reduced to £1 at Hobbycraft. Freeze and enjoy in the heat this week. STRAWBERRY SYRUP: Simmer any bruised berries with 2tsp of sugar for ten mins until it reduces, to make strawberry syrup.

Aldi store assistant shares 5 secrets to working there
Known for its eclectic Specialbuys aisles, among other things, Aldi has plenty of secrets to working there that the general public might not know about. Store Assistant Georgina Phillips has shared some of the quirks and surprises that come with the job at the UK's fourth-largest supermarket. Georgina shares: "This is a real perk in the retail industry. Our breaks are paid - so whether I'm eating lunch or enjoying some downtime in between shifts, I'm still earning. "Over the course of a year, it adds up to around £1,370 extra in your pay packet, which can make a real difference." Aldi workers get trained across the whole store, so one day they might be stacking fruit and vegetables, and on another day they'll be on the tills. Georgina adds: "That flexibility means every Store Assistant can perform whatever role is needed at that time - which keeps queues down and things moving fast." A post shared by Aisle of Aldi Specialbuys (@aldispecialbuysuk) Aldi has a number of measures to help run things efficiently, including having larger barcodes to help with scanning. Georgina explains: "Even shelf packaging is designed for efficiency by being ready to slot straight onto the shelves. It's part of the reason Aldi can offer such great value." Georgina says: "Not only is Aldi the best-paying supermarket, but from free same-day GP appointments to discounted gym memberships and a dedicated wellbeing app, the benefits make a real difference too. "If my toddler is ever poorly, I can use Aldi's digital GP service and get help within hours – which is faster than my usual surgery. A post shared by Aisle of Aldi Specialbuys (@aldispecialbuysuk) "And the generous 28-day holiday allowance means I get to plan beach days with the kids without the stress." Recommended reading: Love a life hack? Aldi launches new 'must-have' gadgets including robot vacuum Best Aldi July Specialbuys from Lilo & Stitch range to LED face masks Aldi Baby Event is back with savings of up to £50 on big brands, but be quick Working at Aldi and being trained across the whole store means staff are knowledgeable across a range of areas. Georgina says: "Ask me anything about the Specialbuys or wine picks and I probably know them inside out before they hit the shelves. "We're trained on everything in store, from the latest wine picks to the Super Six fruit and veg offers. "Knowing the layout and launches like the back of my hand means I can help shoppers find what they're after, and fast."
