For those planning to spruce up their homes in time for the upcoming festivities, a trip to Home Bargains might uncover an impressive gem that mirrors a far pricier alternative.
The discount chain is famed for its wallet-friendly range of home decor, outdoor furniture, food and drinks, and even beauty products.
If high style without the designer price tag is what you’re after, Home Bargains’ latest addition could be the treasure you’ve been hunting. TikTok user @tabbybellx was amazed to find the Bordeaux Luxury Scented Candle at her local branch.
Housed in a large speckled glass jar, it boasts a warming wintry fragrance of ginger, grapefruit, and rose.
She instantly noted its uncanny similarity to the Baobab Collection’s White Pearls Candle, which fetches an eye-watering £230, reports the Manchester Evening News.
But bargain-hunters rejoice, as the Home Bargains variant is a steal at £14.99 – also sizeable enough to invoke that snug home vibe without wreaking havoc on your finances. Although the essence may differ, both candles offer a very similar look for those keen on a luxe aesthetic.
Highlighting her find while joking about the candle’s half-filled appearance, Tabby said: “The only thing I will say it, why is it only half filled up? But I guess I can’t complain for £14.99.
“They had one with black speckled but I went for the all white just for Christmas time, for winter, it looks so cute.”
Shoppers were quick to fill the comments with their astonishment at discovering such a fantastic alternative to the pricier Baobab candles. One shopper said: “As someone who spent £700 on Baobab candles.. I wish i’d of waited just a year longer.”
Another was eager to act: “Okay I’m running to home bargains tomorow! need the black speckle one immediately.”
Meanwhile, a third shared their own find: “They have a matching diffuser too! I grabbed it last weekend.”
A fourth simply wrote: “Love this sooo much.”
