‘Run to Sainsbury’s for the best garden lights’ shopper says as she shows off her haul – with prices as low as £1.50
AS the warmer weather has finally arrived, most of us are looking for ways to maximising our time in the garden.
Now you can chill out after hours, as Sainsbury’s have launched a range of solar lights that cost less than £3.
Unsurprisingly, the new accessories have been a huge hit with amateur gardeners.
In fact, influencer Florence Grace made an entire TikTok about them after spotting the lights in her local Sainsbury’s.
Showing off the supermarket’s display, there were endless accessories to choose from including bird feeders, lanterns and plant pots.
However, the first item she picked up was the Home Solar Marker Light – which comes in a stunning shade of gun metal grey.
Perfect for adding to flowerbeds, these lamps are made of stainless steel and glass making them robust enough to withstand the worst of the British weather.
As the solar powered light have no cables or batteries to worry about, they can also be easily added to a pathway.
If you are looking to enjoy your garden after the sun goes down, these little lights start from just £1.50 meaning they won’t break the bank.
Even better, the garden accessories are currently part of an offer which allows shoppers to pick up four garden items and get the cheapest free.
Alternatively, those wanting a more natural look could also pick up the Solar Rock Lights from the retailer.
Just as the name suggests, the solar lights have a faux rock surround and will easily blend into your garden or flower beds.
Come sunset though, it emits a bright white light which will help you enjoy your garden even into the early hours.
Though the TikTok star managed to pick these up for just £3, Sainsbury’s currently have them on their website for £5 each.
Finally, we would also recommend the Solar Lightbulb Lanterns if you still want to add some light to your outdoor space.
Like the other items we’ve featured, these powerful bulbs are solar powered so can be used straight out of the box without any extra batteries or cables.
According to the product description, they also have a ‘handy hanging mechanism’ meaning that they can easily be added to a fence or tree ready for when the sun goes down.
Starting from just £4, we absolutely love these hanging lights that give bright white light in the evenings.
Having browsed what was on offer at the supermarket, Florence Grace grabbed four of the solar rocks for her garden and later shared her find with her followers.
She also urged others to do the same, writing in the caption: “Run to Sainsbury’s for the best garden lights.”
With so many options available in store and online, we can’t wait makeover our garden with these stunning accessories.
