Shoppers across the UK are on high alert as Home Bargains confirms the return of a hugely popular Easter product that vanished from shelves last year. The retailer has brought back its Giant Surprise Filled Egg, a bumper hamper packed with Kinder chocolate treats, sparking a frenzy of online checks and early orders.
The Hunt for the Viral Easter Egg
Excitement began when a shopper named Claire posted in the popular Bargains Lovers Facebook group on January 7, 2026. She alerted fellow bargain hunters that the coveted item was making a comeback, writing that it "will 100% sell out again this year." Her prediction seems prescient, as the product page, though live, is already showing as out of stock online at the time of writing.
The giant plastic egg, priced at £12.99, contains an assortment of popular Kinder products. Inside, shoppers can expect to find treats like Kinder Bueno, Happy Hippos, and Kinder Surprise Eggs. The value of the contents has been a major draw, with fans arguing it would cost more to buy the items separately.
Shoppers Determined Not to Miss Out
Last year's rapid sell-out has left a lasting impression, motivating customers to plan far in advance. Reactions in the Facebook group reveal a determined audience. One user stated they are "checking most nights to see if they are back in stock," while another lamented missing out previously, saying, "They looked so good last year but I missed out!"
Some who succeeded in purchasing the hamper in 2025 are planning to buy again. One shopper who bought three last year commented on the egg's reusability, noting, "I might refill them or just buy more as they're worth it with what you actually get in them." Another added, "I got two last year and with multi-pack bars like Bueno, there’s no way you can make them yourself cheaper."
Availability and Other Home Bargains Deals
While currently listed as out of stock online, more units of the Giant Surprise Filled Egg are expected to be made available via the website. The eggs are also anticipated to arrive in physical stores across the UK soon, though stock will be limited. Home Bargains advises that not all seasonal items are available for online order, with some being in-store exclusives.
In other news from the discount retailer, beauty shoppers are also benefiting from significant savings. Home Bargains is running an online-only deal on Schwarzkopf salon haircare, offering products like the Volume Boost Perfect Foam for under £5 – a saving of over 70% on the original price. The Bonacure Repair Rescue Conditioner has also been slashed from £17.55 to just £4.99.
The return of the giant egg highlights the intense consumer demand for seasonal bargains that offer perceived high value. With Easter still weeks away, the scramble for this £12.99 chocolate hamper is already well underway, proving that some retail trends are almost guaranteed to repeat themselves.
