Aldi enthusiasts are in for a treat as the supermarket’s coveted Hotel Collection XXL Inclusion Candle makes a comeback, this time with new rectangular editions. The hefty 4.5kg round scented candle is up for grabs at £24.99, while the 1.1kg rectangle version comes with a £15.99 price tag.
These statement candles promise to transform any space into a festive haven and offer a touch of opulence without breaking the bank. Customers have a choice between two fragrances – Winter Spice and Scandinavian Forest.
Last year saw Aldi aficionados quickly snapping up the XXL round candles, and 2024 welcomes the addition of the rectangular variants to store shelves. However, these candles are an in-store exclusive and, true to Aldi’s Specialbuy nature, once they’re sold out, that’s it.
Aldi claims its XXL candles can deliver upwards of 200 hours of aromatic bliss accompanied by a snug, inviting glow. The supermarket giant took to social media to announce the return of the popular candles, posting an image on Facebook with the caption: “Ask and you shall receive.”
Eager customers didn’t hold back in the comments section, with one shopper exclaiming: “I’m running”, and another declaring: “I NEED this for my Christmas table!” Despite their luxurious appearance, these candles come with a much more palatable price tag than similar high-end versions, reports the Manchester Evening News.
For those looking to economise, Aldi’s showstoppers offer a saving of around £70 when compared to similar products from upscale retailer, The White Company. Priced at £24.99, Aldi’s Winter Spice Hotel Collection XXL Wax Inclusion Candle is a bargain next to The White Company’s Winter Indulgence Botanical Candle, which costs a steep £95.
This means Aldi shoppers could save a whopping £70. Other home fragrance options available at Aldi include the store’s enchanting Starry Candle (£3.49) or Diffuser (£3.49).
Customers can choose from either peppermint and pine, cinnamon and patchouli or orange and cove. Each is encased in star-printed, coloured glass.
Or, for something truly festive, customers could opt for the Nutcracker Candle (£2.99) and Diffuser (£2.99). These are adorned with nutcrackers and available in a choice of peppermint, clementine or festive frankincense.
