From Designer Beauty Dupes To Luxe Kitchenware and Clothing, Aldi Has Great Gift Ideas For Everyone On Your List

And at a brilliant price too...

December, a month synonymous with eating, drinking, partying and generally being as merry as humanely possible, often sees our wallets feeling the strain. And when it comes to the dance of gift-giving – arguably the month’s biggest event thanks to Christmas Day - the challenge lies in finding presents that sparkle without causing complete financial frostbite. However, tis also the season to be savvy and as the festive bells ring and the yuletide spirit takes over, there's one brand doing its bit to make your pay check go further at this crucial point in the year – Aldi.

Forget the hustle and bustle of crowded high streets and endless online scrolling; this year, save time and pennies by heading straight into your nearest Aldi to discover the spectacular Special Buys that wait in its infamous middle aisles. These limited-time, one-of-a-kind offerings have garnered a devoted following - and for good reason too. From unique home decor to quirky gadgets and gourmet treats, as well as designer beauty dupes that offer all the same luxury (and ingredients lists!) as the originals for less, the variety is as impressive as the affordability, with Aldi proving that you don't have to break the bank to make your loved ones feel special. And with the supermarket giant rotating in a new wave of goodies on a weekly basis, it gives you even more opportunities to find the perfect gift for every personality on your list.

So, what are we at Closer Loves asking for from Santa this year? From hydrating serums to revitalising masks, there are more than a few beauty gems that will make a luxurious addition to any skincare routine. There’s a lipstick and lipliner kit, for example, that could match the quality of Kylie Jenner’s line any day and will definitely be featuring in a Gen Z sibling’s stocking this year. There’s also a £4.99 men’s fragrance, Pure Noir, which smells like a double of a designer scent that would otherwise set you back £188 – an amazing gift for brothers, husbands and dads.

A quick stroll over to the homeware section sees seriously chic own brand candles for £3.99 that would give Jo Malone a run for its money, perfect for mum, while anyone who loves spending time in the kitchen will appreciate affordable cast iron cookware that just goes to show you don’t always have to fork out on Le Creuset to kit out your cupboards with the good stuff.

Still got plenty to buy but not looking to spend high? Scroll on to discover the Aldi festive Special Buys worth heading into store for. Whether you're shopping for the trendsetter, the foodie, or the tech enthusiast, you’ll find something to impress everyone – at prices that will impress you.

With subtle, but glamorous scents of bergamot and oud, this perfume is incredibly moreish - and a fraction of the price of similar brands on the market.
