What have you purchased today for Christmas?

[ysmaem]

Now that we're well on the way to Christmas I thought we could share what we've purchased in preparation for the big day!

I love writing down what I've bought to keep my mind organized and I also reading what everyone else has bought too for ideas and inspiration.

Today I've bought
Festive cutlery holders
Kids festive pyjamas
Personalised cheese board for my step dad
80 Xmas cards for the kids to give to their class mates
And I also found a festive decorated pouch of dog treats for our dog (doesn't go out of date until Feb 2020 either 😊)in my local supermarket this morning!

Perfume and star hairslides from Next. Peter Crouch paperback for husband from Tesco.

Today I bought some Christmas cards and Lush bath bombs for kiddiwinks stockings [santa]

Today I bought a personalised Bug Hotel for DD (6yo) and a 1000 piece Jigsaw (a vintage scene, lots of people in 1960's dress walking along a seafront) for my DGM. I also got a Hey Duggee fleece blanket for DS (1yo).

It isn’t Christmas but bought a Gin snow globe from M&S that I read about on this thread so thank w whoever posted

@MinisterforCheekyFuckery, where was the bug hotel from, please?

Tonight I bought a pair of Dad's Army socks and a Dad's Army mug for dd's boyfriend for his stocking

Theboywonteat where did you get your frozen 2 costume? Tonight I've just bought the new one from matalan. I was torn between that one and the sainsbury's one, i liked the husband from sains but the dress better at matalan. Couldn't justify the Disney store one as she is 3 1/2 and is a muck magnet.

Headband not husband. Doh

Glitterberry J2Os!

Fluffy this is the one I got. They come in lots of different colours and sizes.

Just brought trainers and shorts for DP on sportsdirect.com
Yes strange but at least 4 pairs of his shorts gave up the ghost this year.

Have ordered a rose-gold powerbank for DS - shipping from China could take up to 2 months... 3 books and I CD for uncle (Coltrane's My Favourite Things, Bill Cunningham: Fashion Climbing, Sarah Schulman: People in Trouble and How to Murder Your Life by Cat Marnell).

Couldn't resist getting a copy of the Coltrane CD for myself too

Not a present but these for my tree. A toy hoover for my friends little boy and a gymnastics bag and beam for DD2

I ordered Christmas decorations too. Tonight I've ordered frozen Anna, elsa and olaf from M&S for my granddaughters bedroom christmas tree.

Just brought DP and DS 2pk pj bottoms (matching 😂) and dd princess pjs off Sainsbury’s

Today I bought a little Advent Christmas tree, a cute little glass bird Christmas tree dec at garden centre ditto a star that lights up [battery timer] for tree in front garden.
Present wise I have bought 2 tins of coffee bags, a yoga mat and book to go with it, a pair of earrings, car air freshener , a journal called" letters to my daughter" for one of my DD's to write in the funny things DGD2 comes out with, some packets of seeds, a roll of cellophane with gold baubles on it for doing hampers.
That's about it I think.

Where did you get the gin snow globe from @Starlight456 -did you buy it in store? I want some but can’t seem to find it online...thanks.

@sarbear1980 the Gin snow globes I bought I store. They were in with all the alcohol in food section. Shop assistant said they had sold loads

@Starlight456 I better get a search on in my local shops then!! Thanks.

I have bought a second-hand bike for oldest son.

I've bought my dd a bratz snow lodge (£10 new from ebay) watching a few winter themed dolls to go with it. she's really into LOL dolls and I refuse to pay £30 for the big ones that are basically revamped bratz nor £250 for the lol snow lodge that is huge and a ridiculous price!

some pusheen badges for dd1 stocking (also ebay!!)

I’ve just bought dd1 some customised Converse (you get 15% your first order on their site too) and a mouse mat.
