Every year, solar lights and lanterns are all the rage, and it's not hard to see why. There's always lots of stylish options available, and whether they're lined along a path or used to upgrade a patio, they instantly set a warm, timeless mood for any outdoor gathering without having to splurge.

Plus, when it comes to using them, they're even more effortless-charging right in the sun before transforming a yard into a magical, glowing haven at night. In other words, they're sustainable and convenient in more ways than one, making them a total must-have that tends to sell out fast.

That explains why Aldi brought back its iconic solar lanterns to its Finds aisle a few weeks ago, and it didn't stop there. The chain went on to drop solar-powered string lights and solar garden bed lights, and now it's taking it a step further.

Any disappointed Aldi shoppers who weren't able to snag one of the solar lanterns before they flew off shelves the first time around are in luck because you're getting another chance-this time, in brand-new styles for even less.

A few weeks ago, Aldi brought its fan-favorite solar lanterns back to stores with dreamy flower and diamond decorative cutouts.

Next up, starting April 22, shoppers can soon browse a variety of Belavi Solar Geometric Lanterns.

Unlike the decorative metal lanterns, these Belavi lanterns have an open frame, so once they're set up on a patio, deck or balcony, their ambient glow is even more apparent.

They're also available in two unique colors-black and red-and geometric shapes-geometric or pyramid. The black is perfect if you prefer a neutral look that easily blends in, and the red is ideal if you're looking for an extra warm touch.

Both shapes share that open, airy design. However, the pyramid is slimmer, while the geometric is wider.

No matter which is your favorite-or if you decide to mix and match them for an eye-catching setup-each lantern has a convenient handle on top too. That way, playing around with where they look best is simple.

In style and function, it's easy to see why, time after time, these leave shoppers obsessed. They make upgrading spring and summer backyard hangouts cozy and seamless, especially at just $6.99 each. With an even better deal (the last round of lanterns were $7.99) and all of their perks, race to Aldi once these lanterns arrive in stores on April 22 and get ready to bring a dreamy backyard oasis to life.
