Report When Christmas Stock Comes In

We had a thread like this last year and I thought it was a good idea.

I don't mean the usual items that you can get all year round but to post when shops get their main christmas stock in.

I've noticed John Lewis has started having a few christmas bits online, but nothing is actually in stock yet.

Nicole & Collie, Me too!

I've already racked up a huge basket. Am not sure how I can justify it all this early on.

I work for Thorntons and we've got some of our Christmas stuff out this week Blush

Just wanted to say..... I can't get the Matalan Christmas link out of my head! Grin

Partybugs · 13/09/2015 20:25

Omg.. That was heaven.. Thanks for the matalan link x

I was in Matalan today (looking for Christmas things of course Grin ) but they only had a few Autumn flannels, nothing Christmas.

I love the Matalan link too and plan to get the Sherpa fleece (if they have the right size) and a couple of the red stag plates.

Sleepybunny · 14/09/2015 11:25

Also loving the matalan link! Saving it for a thorough browse during DDs nap, glorious!

Our local Range is almost fully stocked with Christmas decorations, chocolates, advent calanders etc. I'm ashamed (not really Grin) to say that I bought a couple of decorations and a log basket.

Co-op also has Christmas chocolates, boxes of Quality street and mince pies in stock.

Chips when are you due? I'm 30 weeks and the Christmas planning is also cheering me up no end!

Skweeeeeee

TobleroneBoo · 14/09/2015 11:32

My local Matalan had the beginnings of winter stock, if you like. Plenty of homely bits that could be used as gifts and fairisle blankets but nothing actually Christmassy. I popped in after I saw the link on here, there was some lovely bits online - this was Saturday.

MrsJorahMormont · 14/09/2015 11:40

Next had Christmas cards and wrapping in store yesterday. I was a bit shocked tbh!

Buttercupsandaisies · 14/09/2015 17:02

Primark in Liverpool has adult Xmas jumpers in! They're fab too. No kids ones out yet but getting stock in dribs and drabs apparently.

John Lewis has their Xmas gift section downstairs (chocolates, biscuits etc) but the official Xmas section (with trees and decorations etc) isn't til end of sept.

SideOrderofChips · 14/09/2015 17:50

sleepy Im having him in 9 days!!!

Sleepybunny · 14/09/2015 18:43

Yay exciting Chips!

MTWTFSS · 14/09/2015 19:40

My local Tesco Extra has loads of Christmas food (Stolen, Mince Pies, biscuit tins etc)

Buttercupsandaisies · 15/09/2015 12:32

Just been to our local range store and it was like torture! All the Xmas isles are set up but roped off with ribbon as not completely finished -.so I could see everything but couldn't get to it!!

autumnintheair · 15/09/2015 12:57

any tk max/homesense action yet?

Buttercupsandaisies · 15/09/2015 12:59

My local TKmax had candles, figures and wreaths etc but all orange/autumn leaf type ones for Halloween! Very little Xmas stuff at all.

Taytocrisps · 15/09/2015 13:50

Thanks for the Matalan link. They have lots of lovely Nutcracker bits. I wonder if they ship to Ireland?

autumnintheair · 15/09/2015 14:44

What a delicious treat, thanks for the link and the Range have some good halloween stuff too.

Its begun!

When does Ikea go live?

MrsJorahMormont · 15/09/2015 16:13

OMG that kids' bedding on the Matalan link is gawjus! Love it!

GetTheFudgeOutOfRodge · 15/09/2015 18:12

I just got an email from Matalan saying the gold stag wall sticker I put a stock alert on won't be back in stock at all I guess it was last years stock?

IAmSashaFierce · 15/09/2015 21:11
