Aldi $3.99 gift set to fly off shelves: Last-minute Christmas buys

It's December already and if like me you thought you'd have all your Christmas shopping done by now but haven't, Aldi has come to the rescue with their last-minute gift ideas for the whole family.

I must confess, I love nothing more than wandering down those middle aisles at my local Aldi to see just what I might 'need' from their specials buy section, but this year, that specials buy section may be my saviour.

For him

Aldi has a range of grooming products for men that don't only look good but are available for all men's needs. The Premium Wet and Dry Shaver, $39.99, can trim or give a close shave whether he prefers to groom at the sink or in the shower (where his hairs can neatly wash down the drain!).

Does your hubby prefer a shaved head? Well their Head Shaver, $29.99, is designed to smoothly negotiate the curves of his scalp and looks good in the bathroom too.
