'I went shopping in Aldi with £10 - and I found the perfect Christmas gift'

Aldi-lover Amber-Louise Large set herself a challenge - to see how many Christmas presents £10 could buy her in her local Aldi. The store's middle aisle is filled with weird and wonderful items which could make perfect Christmas gifts. The MyLondon writer wanted to see how many presents a tenner would get her in the supermarket - and was amazed.

Amber-Louise found several options, including the perfect Secret Santa gift for any Jo Malone fan, and something she'd love to be given. She said: "I don't usually enter Aldi's middle aisle armed with a purpose. I let the aisle speak to me, like some sort of supermarket medium, and tell me what I need - a sausage roll maker or a candle twice the size of my head.

"Every week is something different and it can be a bit of a gamble as to what you will face in Aldi's mystical middle aisle. One week it could be power tools. The next week it could be beauty dupes. The following week it might as well be magic beans. I'm in need of a bit of magic right now.
