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And I also found a festive decorated pouch of dog treats for our dog (doesn't go out of date until Feb 2020 either 😊)in my local supermarket this morning!

I bought myself a haribo advent calendar from B&M plus some walnut whips for dh's stocking.

@NoWordForFluffy how do you know which one is for my bed 🤣. Actually mine was the elf one 😆which I ordered before seeing the lovely one in next for my daughter . I think I may have to return it and get the same one as my daughter 👍😆. She has a grey colour scheme in her room so thought that would go nicely. 🎄🎅🏼

Oops! 😂😂

I bought one from Matalan for our bed in similar colours.

We have grey walls as well.

2 tins of shortbread and 2 bottles of magherita from m&s. 2 initial sacks for the kids from Matalan, 1 for the cat and wrapping paper

A gingerbread candle from home bargains. I bought small one just to test how it is.

OMG, Christmas is ages away! I don't want to think about until Novemb
er

@Jolonglegs, then I suggest you stay off the Christmas board. The clue is in the name!

a serial killer coloring book (yes, really)

Tell Me More !
My DD is doing Law+Criminology and is unnervingly obsessed with Serial Killers.
Where is it from?
TIA

Went to B&M for a lamp shade, came home with a fluffy glow in the dark unicorn duvet set and millions ice cream sundae set to stash for DD.

@NoWordForFluffy that's a nice duvet as well. I have ordered another of those duvets from Next for myself and will return the Elf one when I receive it 🤣. Also it does make me laugh when people moan about us talking about Christmas when they have obviously searched and entered the Christmas posts 🤣🤣. I love reading them all,but the trouble is it just gets me more excited and impatient for Christmas 😆🎄🎅🏼 x

@70isaLimitNotaTarget my dd is obsessed with true crime too and I’ve found this for her which looks amazing and has great reviews.

A tub of heroes and quality street on offer at tesco - not sure I have the will power to not open them before December, never mind Christmas

Some lego duplo sets for ds

I got 3 packs of caramelized almonds, a large bag of pretzels and 2 packs of Thornton s double chocolate sticks all from Lidl. And a whole side of salmon and some honeyed parsnips for Christmas/Boxing day.
Essential Christmas snack stashing is under way!

How much was the salmon, Mama?

Some more stocking fillers [santa] lots of toiletries and Kaspa icecream vouchers

Tshirt arrived for bass playing DS. Says "Lord of the Strings".

@03joystir59 you do know you can hide the Christmas threads don't you

Some of us have to budget so spread it out over the months

Chocolate oranges for stockings (99p in Lidl) and a rub of Celebrations and miniature heroes (£3.50 each in Tesco)

I'm busy stashing baking and cooking ingredients at the moment.

I'm going to buy some nets of citrus (I'll raid the reduced sections!) and grate the zest / juice and freeze so I can just grab them from the freezer!

I picked up my annual Matalan order yesterday. I was told the pyjamas are in tomorrow, if anyone is planning to get them!

Some cat earrings fro BIL's girlfriend from this website

I may have also bought myself some and an AS IF necklace to channel my inner Cher Horrowitz.

Yu Gi Oh Card Advent Calendar for Son No. 2

Christmas Shower Curtain.

They are A Thing

I do Christmas Loo Roll (a mix of The Snowman from Aldi or Wilkos) and something from M&S , usially silver stars or snowman

And Christmas hand towels
And hand wash

But even I draw a line at toilet seat covers and pedestal mats

Why do people post here just to tell us how much they don't like talking or thinking about Christmas??

Anywho I have only bought 2 things so far, a Stabilo highlighter set for DD, comes with fluorescent ones and pastel ones which she's been after, in a desk stand for £12.99. Other purchase is an Amazon Fire 8 tablet with a 32gb memory card that I got for £45

Just pre ordered the l.o.l glam doll mc swag... it’s been out of stock for a while so been checking everyday till and luckily just managed to get it.

I bought 4 chocolate oranges today in my defence they were on offer for 75p in Tesco. It would have been rude not to right...
