Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Aldi’s Specialbuy section is a regular treasure trove of things we never knew we needed, and this fire globe is no exception.
With the weather promising to take a turn for the better – after all, the only way is up since the April snow showers – what better time than now to start pruning our gardens?
Hot tubs, garden furniture and even pizza ovens have made it onto the coveted middle aisle, but this new addition is definitely a head-turner. Sitting somewhere in between a Love Island hangout centrepiece and a Harry Potter-style prop, this is no ordinary firepit, but a decorative ornament sure to make a statement in any garden.
So far, key buys have included the coveted hanging egg chair, an inflatable hot tub and even a kamado barbecue that rivals the Big Green Egg models (£1,295, Biggreenegg.co.uk), and this fire globe looks like it’s already well on the way to joining these Aldi fan favourites.
So, keep reading below for everything you need to know about the latest garden must-have from the supermarket.

Gardenline oxidised fire globe: £94.99, Aldi.co.uk
As fire pits go, this one is quite ornate compared to the regular modern bowl-style options, which makes it the perfect addition to an old-school English garden. Decorated with a woodland laser-cut design, it’s equal parts whimsical and practical, leaving just enough space to squeeze a stick with a marshmallow in there – a true fireside essential.
Made from oxidised steel, it should be plenty hardy, but it also has a warranty of three years, just in case. At 66cm x 50cm, it’s compact enough to be slotted into most seating arrangements.
The globe simply lifts off for any wood or kindling to be added. Of course, just be careful not to get too close once it’s lit.
At under £100, we’re pretty impressed. It even looks mighty similar to some of our top fire pits.
