Aldi's Christmas homeware range, featuring a £4.99 Novelty Gravy Boat that resembles a £45 Le Creuset alternative, arrives in stores this Thursday, November 5. The full collection includes nostalgic and vintage homeware alongside baking essentials, with prices starting at £1.99.
Aldi's Festive Gravy Boat
The Novelty Gravy Boat, priced at £4.99, comes in Christmas Tree and Gingerbread House designs. Aldi's description says: "Whether you're pouring delicious gravy, hearty pan juices, or creative dips, this charming gravy boat brings effortless style to your table and helps you serve with perfect control."
The product has not yet received customer reviews.
Comparison with Premium Alternatives
Aldi's gravy boat is similar to a £45 Le Creuset version sold at John Lewis. The Stoneware L'Etoile Christmas Collection Heritage Sauce Jug is currently reduced to £33.75 on the John Lewis website.
Cookware specialists at Art of Living praised the premium gravy boat, noting that "it is genuinely inspired by the winter star that has long guided people home, not just a generic festive pattern". They added that it "is genuinely sized for serving a table's worth of sauce or gravy at once, rather than individual portions".
Another option is the Spode Christmas Tree Sauce Boat & Stand, costing £38.85.
Availability and Urgency
As with all Specialbuys, customers will need to act quickly, as "once they're gone, they're gone".
