Aldi's Wood Pumpkin Candle Is Giving Pottery Barn For Way Less

Pumpkin is back at Starbucks, the leaves have begun to change, and IKEA just came out with their new 2025 Fall Collection, so there's a good chance you have already begun your fall decor shopping. Still, there's nothing wrong with staying informed about what's out there — especially concerning budget buys that give off luxury vibes. In this case, the fall must-have Aldi's 25-ounce Pumpkin-Shaped Wood Candle for $20. It is currently being sold online, but some shoppers have found it at their local Aldi. That said, these stellar dupes tend to sell out pretty fast, so this is a good reminder to keep your eyes peeled for similar fall staples that could arrive in the coming months.

Aldi's candle went viral on TikTok and was only available in the U.K. at first. As of September 17, 2025, though, it's being stocked on Aldi shelves — as well as a similar Wooden Ghost-Shaped Candle – in U.S. stores as well. Although the Aldi website gives very limited information, the visual effect of these candles is very much giving Pottery Barn. Though the PB wooden candles are a different style, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to assume they come from the same collection.

Although it has a different design than the Pottery Barn Wooden Pumpkin Candles that are currently available this season, you also have to take into account the price. While Aldi has their candles listed at only $20, Pottery Barn is quite a bit pricier and ranges from about $60 to $80. You might not get an exact dupe, but you can definitely nail this style for less. 

If you aren't having much luck scoring the viral Aldi candle, At Home is offering a similar Pumpkin Carvings and Hayrides Scented Jar Candle this season. Both candles are 25 ounces, featuring a carved, wooden, pumpkin-shaped container. Between the two, however, Aldi comes out on top again with their candle, which rings up to be $10 cheaper than the $30 option you can find at At Home. If you're not sold on either of these and want something that has better cost-per-use and gives you a fun project to do at home, try making these DIY cinnamon stick candles to welcome in the fall season.
