But one savvy shopper has proven that you haven’t got to splash the cash if you’re looking to give your outdoor haven an instant glow up.
A woman named Sally Gardner shared photo evidence demonstrating how she managed to make a statement in her garden using nothing but a cheap purchase from Home Bargains.
And the best part of all? It costs under a tenner.
Taking to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she shared a snap of the striking solar panel lights that illuminated at night to give a delicate ambient light.
The lanterns, which can be added to a patio or table top, feature an antique rustic effect and offer a traditional look to fit any garden aesthetic.
Alongside the image, chuffed Sally penned: “Bought from home bargains £9.99 for large solar lantern and £5.99 for small one on the fence.”
The post has since racked up a whopping 3,200 likes and almost 1k comments from very impressed social media users.
