Poundland shoppers race to buy £3 hanging baskets you can repurpose as lights, bird feeders or even bring inside
IF you are getting your outdoor space ready for summer, you might be tempted to visit your local garden centre and grab all the essentials.
Before you jump in the car though, you might want to stop off at Poundland as shoppers have found hanging baskets for just £3.
Even better, you can repurpose them in endless ways.
In fact, amateur gardeners can’t seem to get enough of the hanging baskets after they were shared on Facebook earlier this week.
Originally posted in the Gardening on a Budget group, one member revealed that she’d found the hanging baskets in Poundland but knew they could be used in so many ways.
Sharing a photo in the group, she wrote: “Found these in Poundland today. They’re meant to be hanging baskets but I’m thinking lights or bird feeders.”
It’s not hard to see why the gardener had instantly fallen for the accessory, as they had a chic spherical design and brass effect finish.
They even had a removable liners so you could use the hanging basket how you wished – not bad for just £3.
Unsurprisingly, others in the group also went completely potty over the garden accessory too.
One excitedly gushed: “Guess where I’m going tomorrow, lol.”
Some also said that they’d also been looking for similar garden accessories and commented that they’d make ‘lovely bird feeders’.
Another added that they were planning to use the hanging baskets in an alternative way, writing: “I’ve been looking for that for above my bed.”
However, not everyone was sold with some in the group complaining about the discount store’s prices.
Responding to a question about the price, a fourth complained: “In my Poundland there aren’t many things that are a pound.”
If you are still tempted to pick up the £3 hanging baskets though, you should also keep an eye out for the adorable plant pots currently in store.
The Pepco Wilson & Gregory Green Metal Garden Plant Pots come in a range of cute pastel shades, with little rope handles and will look great no matter the size of your outdoor space.
Perfect for adding small blooms, these could be hung along your fence for a splash of colour over the summer months.
Alternatively, you can pop them on your balcony or window sill, with the plant pots being durable enough to grow fresh herbs in.
Coming in either white, yellow, lilac or green, the pots cost only £2 so we don’t think they will stay on shelves for long.
You could also pick up the trug-style planters which are currently in stores for just £2.
Unlike other planters, the Pepco Wilson & Gregory Chest is ideal for smaller spaces and will help to keep your mini herb garden growing strong.
Even better, the wood design has been embossed with wild flowers to make you feel even more at one with nature.
With all these bargain buys, your garden will be blooming lovely in no time.
