The lamps come in two snazzy designs - each designed to bring a touch of colour and fun to your space.

One is bright yellow sunflower, with the LED disguised as the centre of the flower head.

And the other is an elegant blue butterfly perched on a log.

In the second design, the lamp is embedded in the model wood, and illuminates the butterfly from below.

The garden lights are powered by solar, so there is no need for any clunky mains supply.

Even better - the lights are automatic.

That means they will turn on at dusk, at just the right time to add a glow to your garden.

And the power from a day in the sun will last between six and eight hours - easily long enough to see you through the evening.

Despite the light price tag, the lamps have all been lovingly hand painted on artificial stone.

They aren't huge - measuring about 10cm by 10cm - but that makes them perfect to tuck away in a cranny.

The lights, available in stores from April 17, would be perfect to place around the edge of your lawn or patio.

If they end up on your patio, then you can use another gadget from Lidl to keep the slabs looking pristine.

Lidl's Parkside Long Reach Heat Gun/​Weed Burner is perfect for making sure your garden slabs look in tip-top shape, before any guests arrive for BBQs or garden parties.

If the cracks between your patio slabs are littered with weeds, the handy gadget can be used with an extension handle for "environmentally friendly weed removal."

Arriving in stores on April 10, it is priced at just £14.99, and can also be used for a variety of DIY tasks.

Some of the tool's uses include heating, moulding, stripping, and for use as a BBQ lighter.

The product comes with a variety of accessories, such as a cone nozzle for weed removal, a barbecue nozzle and an extension handle.

It also has ergonomic handles with non-slip grip, and a fold out stand for cooling down after work.

In comparison, Bosch's heat gun is priced at £174.99, making the Lidl version £150 cheaper.
