If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to add a bit of lighting to your garden or front path, solar lights are the way to go. They’re cord-free, don’t suck up electricity, and you can quite literally set them up and forget about them because the sun does all the battery charging for you. And right now, Dollar Tree has LED stake lights that are making waves among shoppers because they’re beautiful, bright, and look so much more expensive than just $1.25.

“I’ve tried a lot of the Dollar Tree solar lights and I think, by far, these are my favorite,” TikTok user @ash_mack said in a recent video showing off the lights in action. “These are the shattered glass solar lights. They are so high quality — I thought they were plastic at first. When I picked them up, I was shocked they were $1.25.”

She continued, “My issue is that I only picked up two and I know they’re not going to be there next time I go!”

The crackle glass creates an artistic shadow that kind of mimics moonlight through trees. And they’re small, but powerful — and bright enough to light up your pathway or front step to make sure you and your guests are as safe as possible.

“I bought four … I should have bought several more,” one reviewer wrote on Dollar Tree’s website. “These look so good in my flower beds! Great buy!”

Another person wrote, “If you came here for reviews, BUY THEM and a few extras in case!! Sooo sooo good! Nice , heavy duty, and LED bright!!! You won’t get better quality for the price. Trust me!! They’re that good!!”

Head to your nearest Dollar Store to grab a bunch of these lights while they’re in stock and shed some light on your outdoor space without blowing through your summer budget.

If your local store is sold out or you don’t live near a Dollar Store, you can also nab this nearly identical one from Walmart. It’s more expensive, but it has great reviews and is available for delivery or pickup.
