ALDI unveils whimsical return of garden delight after two years
- Replies 4
Gardening enthusiasts and kitsch collectors rejoice!
After a long two-year wait, ALDI Australia will reintroduce a beloved garden item bound to spruce up your outdoor space with a touch of whimsy.
These aren't just ordinary garden statues; ALDI's range features meerkats dressed in iconic costumes from the classic film The Wizard of Oz.
Starting on 25 September, you can add charm to your garden with ALDI's popular meerkat statues, priced at $14.99 each.
The return of these statues is a big deal for those who remember the craze they sparked in 2020.
Then, Woolworths offered a similar range of garden ornaments, igniting a nationwide trend for dressed-up meerkat figures.
With 35 characters, including Olympians, fairies, brides, and grooms, shoppers were spoilt for choice. Prices started from just $8.
Now, ALDI is bringing back the magic with its spin on the trend.
Although the selection is more limited this time, with only six characters on offer, the excitement is palpable.
Fans of the quirky garden additions have been eagerly awaiting the release.
Social media has been buzzing since ALDI Australia's official page teased the comeback with a photo of the statues.
Many ALDI shoppers expressed their delight at the statues' return.
Comments range from 'I didn't know I needed these in my life until now' to 'They're back!' and 'Time for some decorating.'
However, not everyone is on board with the meerkat mania.
Some have pointed out the similarities between ALDI's offering and the previous Woolworths collection, with a few even calling the statues 'terrifying' rather than charming.
'How weird looking are these?' one asked, while another noted, 'These look identical to the ones at Woolworths!'
Once these statues hit the shelves, they won't be around long.
ALDI's 'Special Buys' are notorious for selling out quickly.
With limited stock numbers varying across store locations, mark your calendars and plan to shop early to avoid missing out.
