ALDI has brought back its popular Christmas hampers for another year – and they look suspiciously like the much more expensive versions from Fortnum & Mason.

The discount supermarket has released its hampers for pre-order for Christmas and prices start at just £19.99.

A hamper from posh grocers Fortnum & Mason could set you back up to £1,000.

But Aldi’s products are not all at the cheap end: its most expensive hamper this year, the Specially Selected Exquisite Hamper, costs £99.99.

This is the same price as Fortnum & Mason’s Christmas Express Hamper, although the Aldi product contains three bottles of wine and a bottle of champagne.

For a hamper with similar products in at Fortnum & Mason, you would have to spend around £175.

The Aldi hampers have proved extremely popular in previous years because they offer such good value compared to many competitors.

But it may be worth shopping around – Aldi sells each item included in the hampers in store, so it may be cheaper to make up your own box.

Prices for each of the individual products are yet to be released.

As well as food-based hampers, Aldi is offering a “pamper hamper” for the first time this year.

This contains a luxury candle, a clay mask, hot cloth and glow tonic, as well as a bottle of prosecco and chocolate truffles.

It also has a new Christmas Favourites hamper, which includes contains florentines, fudge, nougat, mint creams and a bottle of shiraz.

At just £19.99, it’s the cheapest hamper in the range.

There are seven hampers available in total: the Specially Selected Exquisite Hamper (£99.99); the Christmas Feast Hamper (£79.99); the Specially Selected Luxury Hamper (£59.99); the Pamper Hamper (£39.99); the Specially Selected Treats Hamper (£34.99); the Festive Delights Hamper (£24.99) and the Christmas Favourites Hamper (£19.99).

Shoppers should order by December 19 and the cost includes free Christmas delivery.

Aldi has begun teasing shoppers with its Christmas treats, including a giant pig in blanket that's over 6ft long.

It's also selling a shimmery candy can gin liqueur – perfect for a festive tipple.

The discount supermarket is opening lots of new stores, and is currently on the hunt for area managers.
