Report When Shops Get Christmas Stock In/Christmas Shops Open

[MamaPain]

I don't know if we already have a thread like this, but in my attempt to organise Christmas I was thinking we should have a pale where we can let others know if Christmas stock has come in.

I often end up missing it and then find it has been pillaged by the likes of you lot savvy shoppers before I've even thought about going.

So if you spot new christmas stock online or in-store, alert the thread.

I love it! Will definitely be sending someone out for some of the bedding then.

M&S stores will be opening their Christmas shops on Thursday October 9th.

Thought you were going to say this thursday. I might set a reminder in my Calendar for that one. I love their 3 for 2s.

Also from what i understand IKEA starts on 1st October 2014.

Not on the high street Christmas section has gone live.

For those who are interested lots of the Pottery Barn Christmas stuff is available, although some cannot be shipped outside of the US so you may need to use ReShip or similar.

Wilkinson had their gift sets out and a small selection of toys today.

Boots are filling their shelves now with their Christmas collectio. Some very cute Christmas themed baby clothes.

Lidl have their mini stollen, gluwein, Xmas puds, mince pies and pannetone in. Need to stock up as last year it was all gone by Christmas week

Dobbies and my local independent garden centre are mid christmas changeover.
The range in swansea was setting up some stuff last weekend (though no prices yet)

Mamas and papas Christmas shop is open.

Tk maxx had their Christmas decorations when I went in yesterday.

M and S 3for 2 Christmas shop online now! I'm sure there will be more to come as there are no gifts as such just the cards, paper, decoration but still worth a look!

How many lots owrth a drive?

Quite tempted by this M&S bedding set ...

too much for me but is utterly gorgeous.

delicious

beyond was a double aisles worth in my store. I'm going to stock up early this year as I left it too late last year and when I went back the aisles looked like they had been stripped by mnetters locusts. Lots of of kids fancy dress in too

I don't know if this has been mentioned but home bargains have some Christmas decorations and wrapping paper in. They also have the gingerbread house kits in

Next Christmas home now open. And in the bed linen section they have polar bears and moose prints ...

I know someone previously mentioned Matalan online, but they have their stuff in store now.

I know someone has already mentioned The Range, but I just wanted to say that they have lots of storage items for Christmas decs, trees and gift wrapping. I have a rectangular bag that zips completely open, stores both rolls and flat packs of wrapping paper, and has pockets for tags, tape, scissors, bows and ribbons, and gift bags. It's great, rolls stay rolled, everything easy to find and undamaged. Somewhere handy to store all those bargains bought in the sales until the next Christmas, where you can find them! Last year they had circular wreath bags as well.

FWIW it's worth (apologise if I'm duplicating info.) I was in Costco Leeds today specifically to get a box of their wonderful glass baubles and there were none although there was a full aisle of ornaments, ribbons and the usual pre-lit stuff.
So goodness only knows what's happened to the beautiful baubles!

Oh god, percey the polar bear head in next christmas I love it.

Place marking to see when/if anyone has news of Manchester/Trafford Centre Christmas shops, like selfridges, Kendals etc.

I hate Christmas too early, but my uk trip this year is last week of October so I need to do some chrimbo shopping!

whereyouleftit might be worth waiting for a m&S home event and you could get the duvet for 30% off?
