Shoppers are giving the Home Bargains’ hot air balloon lights an added edge & you’ve probably already got what you need
THEY’RE the solar garden lights that are sold out across the country.
But some of the shoppers who were lucky enough to nab one of Home Bargains’ hot air balloon lights have been taking to social media to show how they’ve given the garden accessory an added edge.
Veronia posted on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to show how she’d updated hers, by popping a little Lego figure inside the basket.
“This is what we’ve done to ours,” she wrote alongside the pictures.
One snap showed a bearded man inside the basket, while the other had a hat-wearing figure inside.
“How cute!” one person commented on the post.
“Why didn’t we think about this?” another wrote, tagging a mate.
“Oooooh this is cute!!!!!!” a third said.
“I’ve been waiting on mine coming, I’m going to do this, ha ha love it!” someone else commented.
“Love this idea,” another wrote.
“There’s an idea!” someone else said.
“I have bought one and looks amazing when it’s on,” another added.
“You should get the kids to bring their Lego next time,” someone else commented, tagging their friend.
As another wrote: “Love it – I want one even more now!”
“I was totally thinking about doing this!” someone else said.
However, the popularity of the lights means that not everyone has been able to get their hands on them.
“So cute, can’t get any near me in Swansea!” one wrote.
“I just ordered mine online from Home Bargains, £4.99 they are!” another said.
“I looked on Wednesday and was lucky they had four left.
“Got 2 for me and 2 for a friend.
