B&M / Home Bargains / The Range

[RumpoleoftheBaileys]

I know this is AIBU, but posting for traffic.

Which of them would be the best to take a few 10y olds to buy sleepover supplies? So PJs, trinkets, etc?

Many thanks.

B&M for sure

The range

You won't get pj's for a ten year old in any of them, but homebargains would be my pick.

B&M but it depends partly on what is on your area. There are a couple of huge B&Ms near us but not sure if any do children's pyjamas.

You'll get sweets and snacks, maybe a nice blanket, games...

The Range is the more expensive of the three

Home bargains is the elite. Ours does stock kids pjs too. And ohhh the snacks.

B&M - more sweets and rubbish sleepover food than the Range. They do Xmas PJ'S in ours. There is also toys and stationary. My 9 and 11 year olds enjoyed a good old mooch the other day.
The range is better for craft sets. Our Home Bargains isn't as big as our small B&M so not as good.

You could get plain big T-shirt's and fabric paint or pens instead of PJs. I've had a sleepover where they decorated pillowcases with fabric pens which was a hit.

Just checked the website. B&M pjs go up to age 13.

Ahhhh no clear consensus as yet! Thank you so much all though.

Also - loving any ideas to keep them busy!

Why do you need new PJs and trinkets for a sleepover?

The home bargains near me has pjs similar to this in at the moment, they’re like a silky type of material with an eye mask included. There was a girl of around 11/12 begging her mum to buy them for her when I was last in 😂. They have nice bath bombs, sheet face masks etc in too.

If you'd asked this last year you would have been flamed because it was all the people going to The range and B and M bargains that were spreading covid! (It apparently didn't circulate in JL or waitrose )

B&M or homebargains. I love both but prefer home bargains. I’ve been to both this morning and came away with a bag of random shite.

These two shops make me very happy 😂

I would go for the Range or B&M because in our area Home bargains is small so you wouldn’t get everything. I think the Range is nicest but not sure if it sells pjs.

Presumably for fun and because she doesn’t have a stick up her arse.

I bought my 10 year old PJs in home bargains yesterday! The children's ones went up to age 13-14 and they do adult ones too.

I'd say home bargains by a country mile assuming you can get to a reasonably sized one. They sell sleep masks, beauty hair bands, face masks, snacks, pamper products, nail polishes, craft kits as well as Pjs

I'd go to a big Asda instead

PJs were £4.99 btw and I bought Friends themed ones but they had quite a few options.

B&M and Home bargains are next door to each other where my sister lives. I spend £'ssss every time I visit her in both shops.
B&M would probably be better for sleepover supplies.

It was actually because they were using the “we sell food” loophole to get round the closure of stores selling non essentials. This worked particularly well for them during the pre Christmas closures and they mopped up a huge amount of retail spending whilst other non food retailers, particularly small independents really struggled losing that trade.

I saw a hot chocolate kit with lots of toppings. Part of the Christmas gifts in Tesco I think

Massive new Home Bargains near us, I would go there over B&M as our ones a bit of a dump.

They have the PJs the poster above mentioned, you could get them some face masks, bits to do their nails, they have loads of games/stationery and so many snacks, treats and drinks other than that I wouldn't provide too much else, girls that age will just get on with it.

@BoredZelda they sell toiletries, cleaning products and food they were very much entitled to be open

Actually now PP shows that pic they had pyjamas in home bargains recently, adult ones, but may fit a teen. I noticed ladies, not sure about men.

I'd say Home Bargains too....ours is jam packed full of face masks, foot sock mosturiser doodaahs, little make up kits, tiny colour hair sprays, bobbles
Lots of fancy biscuits and chocolates too...and buckets of fake moams and the like

Also sure it does jimjams too
