7 Surprising Gifts for People Who Are Obsessed with Aldi

It’s a jarring realization when you come to terms with the fact that you’ve got a favorite burner of the stove (come on, you’ve seen the meme) or a drawer organizer that brings you joy. So the path to adulthood is complete when your weekly grocery shopping trip evolves from a mundane chore to an obsession. Aldi, that understated and quirky grocer, has quite the following, and I’m sure there’s a disciple among your friends and family. If you’re searching for a gift this season for someone who ends every sentence with, “Can you believe it’s from Aldi?” you’ve come to the right place.

Here are seven surprising gifts to give your quarter-toting, bargain-seeking friend.

Every successful Aldi shopping trip starts with a quarter. Give your secret Santa a special place to keep her Aldi Quarter — a handmade little holder that clips right onto a keychain. We also love this one that looks like a shopping cart and these understated, monogrammable leather ones.

If your special friend always tosses dinner salads with Aldi’s Specialty Selected dressings or happens to rave about the Southwestern Salad Kit, she’ll need a beautiful serving bowl to use in 2020. Throw in a bagged salad or a bottle of dressing to round out the gift.

When Friday night pizza comes from Mama Cozzi and not a delivery driver, your friend has officially become an Aldi obsessive! Help her toss that rickety pizza wheel in favor of a stainless steel pizza chopper.
