Aldi has made baubles of its most iconic Specialbuys - here’s how to get your hands on a box
The perfect festive homage for Aldi fans


Aldi fans it’s time to rejoice - the supermarket has released a collection of Specialbuy baubles - that’s right, you can now put your favourite Specialbuys on your Christmas tree.
Are you a fan of an Aldi Specialbuy? I mean who isn’t - for the Ideal Home team, the middle aisle is a sacred place for finding the best dupes - which is a godsend when you’re putting together budget decorating ideas.
This Christmas Aldi has launched a competition, where one lucky winner can win six Specialbuy baubles. This collection of baubles contains fan favourites of the middle aisle, including the Aldi heated airer, Aldi air fryer, chainsaw, pressure washer, kayak and even a hot tub.
The baubles have been carefully crafted in 3D-printed resin and hand-finished with glitter and gemstones. Each design has been inspired by the supermarket's most popular items, for example, the air fryer that usually sells out within 24 hours after launching in 2021. Similarly, the hot tub, chainsaw and pressure washer also frequently sell out.
We all love a special buy, in fact, Aldi reported that 77% of Brits admitted to leaving with a Specialbuy after only popping in for a food shop. The bauble collection represents the nation’s love for a bargain, and while it may seem a little out there - we bet you’ve never thought to hang a kayak on a Christmas tree - this year we have seen hobby-themed baubles making waves as a popular Christmas decor trend.
This year, sleek and uniformed Christmas decor has taken a backseat as we’ve favoured nostalgia, bright colours and all-around playfulness.
I have to say, the baubles would make a great addition to any tree. They’re eye-catching and undeniably a talking point. Even if it’s not quite your style, these baubles will still put a smile on your face.
