WITH Christmas fast approaching, it’s time that we all started thinking about gifts for friends and family.

And, of course, a little something to spoil ourselves never goes amiss. 

Here at Fabulous, we’ve had an exclusive look at all the fab Aldi goodies that will be hitting the shelves over the coming weeks. 

Here’s a selection of our favourites, from the must-have presents for kids to the beauty buys to add to your own list for Santa. 

PAMPERING

Aldi’s cruelty-free Lacura brand is well-known for creating some of the best dupes around, and the Christmas release is no exception. 

Make-up wise, there’s the return of popular favourites in store from 30th November, including the Lacura VitaBase Moisturising Primer priced at just £4.99, which fans say is an absolute dead-ringer for Bobbi Brown’s £52 Vitamin Enrichment Primer.

There’s also a new range of the Vitamin E-infused Luminous Lip Oils, which cost just £3.99. Shades Clear and Cherry have already flown off the shelves, while the new pink shade provides the perfect pop of colour for glam Christmas make-up. 

For eyeshadow aficionados, there’s the stunning Natural Radiance Eyeshadow Palette (£5.99) – available in colourways West Hollywood and Beautiful Glow – which have more than a passing resemblance to the £30+ Urban Decay Naked Basics ones. 

To remove all those cosmetics, you’ll be needing a stellar cleanser: we love the new Rose Cleansing Balm, which is ultra-silky on the skin and helps remove even the most long-lasting of make-up. 

And for those hoping for a new perfume under the spritz, there’s an absolutely fab range of fragrances on offer over the Xmas period.

Lacura’s new His & Hers Eau de Parfums are priced at £6 and come in stunning gold and silver bottoms. The men’s scent, Hiz Cozmo features notes of vanilla, patchouli and vetiver, while the women’s has playful hints of mango, bergamot and jasmine. 

If a little bit more of a splurge is in order, there’s also an uber glam LED Face Mask (£49.99) to upgrade your pamper routine. The light penetrates the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by penetrating deep within the layers and stimulating collagen production. 

TIPPLES 

Those of us who love a festive tipple will be absolutely spoilt for choice this Christmas. 

Ballycastle – Aldi’s creme liquor which tastes near-identical to Bailey’s – is launching in two brand new flavours, each less than half the price of their inspiration. 


The budget supermarket’s Blonde Chocolate Ballycastle County Cream (£7.99) is a decadent blend of rich double cream, caramelised chocolate and warming Irish cream, and is sure to be the ultimate crowd pleaser. 

There’s also a boozy take on an iconic Italian dessert – the new Tiramisu Ballycastle Country Cream (£7.79) – which tastes of velvety chocolate, rich coffee, sponge fingers and Irish cream, and comes in a whopping £10 cheaper than Bailey’s version. 

If you’re planning on hosting any Christmas parties this festive period, then Aldi’s premium pre-mixed cocktails are a fab choice for those not too taken by mulled wine. 

Priced at £9.99 each, they come in flavours: Salted Caramel Espresso Martini Cocktail; Chilli & Lime Margarita’ and Passionfruit & Pineapple Martini. 

All you need to do with each is serve over ice – although you can spruce them up a bit by adding garnish or a salt rim if you so fancy. 

And if you’re looking for a stunning gift for a gin-lover, then there’s of course a beautiful selection of gold flake ones perfect for any celebration. 

There’s a beautiful sweet pomegranate and cranberry liquor in a tree with a beautiful Chsitmas tree suspended in the bottle; an exquisite blackberry one complete with a star and snowflake; and the award-winning Haysmith’s London Dry Gin adorned with reindeers, all priced around £15. 

HOMEWARE

Aldi’s extensive home range includes everything you need to keep your house looking perfect while hosting over Christmas. 

To begin, there’s a range of stunning decorations, including super cute Candy Cane and Pathfinder Lights (£12.99) which bring a winter wonderland feel to the garden. 


If you’re looking to make rather more of a statement, the supermarket is also selling 6ft tall Xmas inflatables, including two giant candy canes perfect for surrounding your front door. 

Slightly more discreet, there’s £12.99 Festive Wire Figures, including reindeers and snowmen, that light up in ice and warm white shades. 

Candle lovers will be spoilt for choice: one of the most popular newbies is a bauble-shaped candle which can even be hung from the tree. 

Each piece burns for up to 30 hours, and they come in delicious variations of spiced orange and plum, lavender and musk and Christmas pudding, priced at just £2.79. 

There’s also two huge Hotel Collection XXL Wax Inclusion Candles (£24.99), which each burn for an astonishing 200 hours and would be the perfect centrepiece for festive meals. 

It comes in the long-lasting scents Paradise, with soothing tones of bergamot, amber and vanilla; and the festive staple Winter Spice. 

And of course, for those looking to stay cosy while avoiding flicking the heating on, there’s a gorgeous array of Luxury Softy Feel Throws (£9.99) available in light grey, dark grey and beige, perfect to go with any interior colour scheme. 

GIFTING 

Whether it’s a little something for a colleague or the latest tech for your kid, Aldi has you covered when it comes to purchasing presents this festive season. 

There’s a range of perfect Secret Santa gifts all priced under £6, which include a Ballycastle Trip Gift Set (£5.99) and a range of Haysmith’s Gin & Tonics which all come in adorable Christmas cracker packaging. 


For kids, there’s a super cute array of Christmas Squishees (£6.99) which also come in an XL size (£19.99) of course including a festive gonk perfect for cuddling. 

For music lovers, there’s an amazing pair of In Ear Bluetooth Earphones compatible with Siri and Google devices, and have up to 3.5 hours of playback time. 

At £16.99, they come in at just a tenth of the price of Apple’s Third Generation Airpods. 

And any pet lovers among us will know that there’s no way you can forget to treat them to a little something. 

There’s an adorable Reversive Festive Pet Coat (£5.99, sizes XS-L) which will be sure to turn heads while you’re on festive walks.
