Nativity set

[princessbear80]

I’m hosting Christmas for the first time ever this year, and getting very excited! One thing I’d like to add to my existing decorations is a nativity set. Any favourites anyone could recommend? Or ideas for homemade ones (maybe knitted)? I’d love to see photos if you have them but appreciate it’s probably a bit early for that!

Lakeland are keeping us all in suspense!

No sign of it today...

It's in stock on lakeland.de but they only ship to Germany.

That's a shame UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername . They are missing out on a lot of UK custom! Hope it's out soon...

I'm glad I saw this thread. I've been awaiting a proper look at this Lakeland one and was worried I'd missed my chance. I want a new advent tradition. Sounds like they'll be getting more.

Dammit Lakeland what are you playing at?!?

Can anybody tweet them? Or put a post on Facebook? (I don't have Facebook.)

I'm trying to resist. I'm starting to feel a little over-invested after checking for it every day, and on their international sites. If I get it after all this, it had better be absolutely fantastic!

Ok, I gave in and emailed again. I'll let you know...

They have said this:

Ah, thank you. I've found this now and it's due into stock from 8th October 2018. The product reference number is 40910 and we'll update our website as soon as it's available - thanks Heather

I collect these ones

They are the size of a Playmobil figure, but def not a toy and always far above DD’s reaching potential when she was small.

My FIL built me the stable.

Thank you UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername and KavvLar . Will keep an eye out for that date!

Just tried putting ' 40910' in the search bar and it comers up with, ' No search results were found for 40910.' Hopefully it will come up soon, or when it's live someone can post a link?

Thanks !!!! Just got one I'm so chuffed

Thanks GreenthoughtInAGreenShade ! Trouble is at that price I can't afford one. They had a smaller price before it disappeared then came back.

Has the price gone up? I didn't realise

Ordered : ) I've no plans to buy any other christmas decorationy stuff this year; the collection is pretty much complete.

yeah, right!

I've justified it by the thought that it will last 20 years so that's about £3 per year

yes, that’s my justification reasoning too NotSuch

My mum has the Willow Tree set. It cost her a bloody fortune but it does look impressive!

I really wanted the lakeland advent stable but I thought when it was originally posted that it was £25 ish. I can’t bring myself to spend that much 😢

I have the Willow Tree set and it is absolutely beautiful. It is my fave Christmas ornament despite not being religious at all!

Can see someone has already posted about the lakeland set. I was all ready to buy one and then they more than doubled the price. Can't justify the spend now. Anyone seen anything similar elsewhere?
