So, what happened to tinsel?

[Bearsinmotion]

Did I miss the memo? Nowhere sells tinsel any more. I haven't looked at buying Christmas stuff for at least a decade ages until this year, and tinsel seems to be completely passé! When did that happen?!

From what I saw yesterday it has ALL moved to a b&m home bargains near me.

Hahaha!!!

Yup, it's all moved to Home Bargains - it's tinsel town at the minute

My local Wilkos had every possible colour of tinsel in today, plus the £shops and any local tat shops you may have.

Deffo home bargains

There were a few tinsel options at Blooms.

There's some at Dunelm Mill.

fab tinsel at Wilkos, several lengths fell into my basket.

also lots on ebay.

it is all nice and thick these days, none of the meagre stringy stuff I fondly remember from my youth.

Yes, Wilkos!

The range had loads today too

I drove past a £ shop that was chokka with tinsel.

I must say, I smelled some tinsel in Dunelm Mill and I wasn't enamoured.................

Bah, no Wilkos or Home Bargains near here. May have to venture further afield! We do have a Dunelm Mill, but I am trying to avoid that as I want to buy all the Christmas tat throws, cushions etc!

They had some our Tesco Extra store today, not a huge amount but some nice colours. Almost brought some but decided against it, wish I had now as DD loves tinsel and wants to cover the house in it!

bears oh I always want all that Christmas stuff, the pillows, throws, bedding all look ace, then I realise I'll have to either store it all year or have penguins in my lounge in summer.

I got Xmas cushions last year and just bought an Xmas pudding doorstop. Sorry for hijack. I love tinsel, 99p store usually has it

Hmm, all I found was "tasteful" expensive pine garlands, obviously shopping in the wrong places! Looks like I need to go to Dunelm Mill for some penguin cushions

B&Q had tinsel this week as I was manhandling it

I love tinsel, Love the smell, the noise, the flutter the effect.

Garden centres seem to have it in their Christmas sections around here.

It was garden centres I was going to - they had a couple of bits (PS6 each!) but only silver and gold

There's loads in tesco. In EVERY colour!

Gah. Went to Dunelm and it was still only three colours, red, silver and gold. Will try Tescos next!

I am sure Matalan had some because I was tickling ds with it. :D
Didn't notice colours or range though
I also love tinsel and don't care if it's not particularly classy.

We have not had tinsel on the Christmas tree since our brainless cat swallowed some. We did not realise until she was, um, having some difficulty passing it. It was a bit like starting an outboard motor...

I saw the biggest tinsel display with the most colours I've ever seen in the Christmas shop at Gates Garden Centre in Rutland.
