...to buy Christmas presents from Aldi's wtf aisle

[yy558]

What the title says really. I really love Aldi and their wtf aisle every week. I've since converted my husband who is now equally if not more excited at the workshop range of goodies.

Anyways they've got some great pots, and candles and quilts which I think would make great presents but would people judge me as cheap? (Last year the Christmas desserts I've taken to my in laws have always gone down well and they only eat m and s)

Yes!!! My family always get stocking stuffers from Aldi plus one other gift eg a jumper, quite formulaic but it works.

Ah, the Central Aisle of Randomness. It's been a while ....

I did love how Lidl had a UK exclusive on Paris Hilton's latest beauty range 😂

It was very how the mighty have fallen

She was probably told by her people a "major UK retail chain bought the rights" and she has no idea that it's no John Lewis or even Boots

I'd proudly state it was from Aldi, to show your impeccable taste and cleverness at finding such good value.

What I love is that everyone - and I mean pretty much everyone - thinks that the Aldi and Lidl WTF aisles and rigorous scrutiny of their special deal drops every week - are their - and only their - guilty secret. Just like TKMaxx. 😀

YANBU.

Didn’t Giselle or a similar supermodel have a clothing range at Lidl? I’m sure I was deeply unimpressed with it as it was just stripy tops and skinny jeans type stuff.

@TitsalinaBumsquash lol at aisle of denial.

Every single time we go to Lidl DD2 says “shall we get a big trolley” and I always say noooo, we don’t need much, we’ll get one of those small ones.

Then I fill it to overflowing with stuff I never knew I needed , never take enough bags in with me, and DD2 gives me That Look and sighs...

And Lidl’s Cien skin range is bloody marvellous. I bought the serum skin food stuff recently and it’s lovely. £2.99. £2.99!!!

I love the random aisle in Aldi. In our house we call it the Gauntlet of Shite

I spent over £100 in Aldi the other day.

tbf, it did include a ceramic heater, smoke alarms and CO2 alarms as well as far too much chocolate and alcohol.

DSs first Christmas and Birthday presents were from the Aldi/Lidl wtf aisle...wooden rocking horse for Christmas and a wooden walker for his birthday.
DM got him a magnetic puzzle one year and my uncle some wooden chopping fruit.

Seems the go to present place in my family!

Ah, the aisle of wonder. YANBU, definitely. Have at it!

We call it The Aisle of Dreams.
And I don't think there is anything wrong with buying a present from there!

They did cookie jars a couple of years ago that played a song when you opened it, one song was who let the dogs out, wish i had bought it for my dad

Didn’t Giselle or a similar supermodel have a clothing range at Lidl? I’m sure I was deeply unimpressed with it as it was just stripy tops and skinny jeans type stuff.

It was Heidi Klum, she's had a few ranges now.

I LOVE Aldi. And i really rate some of their stuff, eg chocolate and plants. And their electronic stuff has a 3 yr warranty, which is excellent.

To be honest I don’t even thing the wtf aisle is that cheap! We often pick bits up as gifts!

I call it Dad's Aisle. Because one tim I made thw mistake of going there with my Dad. I did a 2week shop, plus a leisurely stroll round the Aisle of Crap, and paid. He was still circling the Aisle of Crap.

Living it called the WTF aisle

In the run up to Christmas I always get bits and bobs in there.

I've made up hamper boxes for people.

Various ones of:

Stationary
Slippers and cremes
Ski accessories
Books and small toys
Alcohol and glasses!

Central aisle of random crap here.

Cannot wait for Thursday!

My mum calls them the Aisles of Silly.

My mum calls them the Aisles of Silly.

Genius!

Needful Things Aisle.

I recieved aldi chocolate one xmas, I am happy with it and ate them all. I have seen people complain about cheap presents here though, I guess it's depends on who.

We call them the baskets of glory!!

The Aisle of Smiles.

The white chocolate Aldi truffles are lovely, and I got a beautiful rug from there the other day at a third of the price of another I was looking at elsewhere.

Love Aldi.

Those who have yet to discover Aldi can stay in Tesco/Sainsburys etc and leave the loot to us.
I love it all: price, quality, small size, speed of shopping, service from staff and the silly aisle(genius pp's mum)
