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And I also found a festive decorated pouch of dog treats for our dog (doesn't go out of date until Feb 2020 either 😊)in my local supermarket this morning!

@IceCreamConewithaflake if don't mind me asking what did you get and where? ☺️

A load of cleaning bits ; gloves, cloths, a scrub daddy, empty spray bottles etc and a nice cleaning caddy from Home Bargains. I'm making a cleaning gift hamper for our 23yr old daughter. I'm putting everything in caddy to display it. Sounds odd, but she's going to love it (she makes her own cleaning solution) she loves stuff like this and I've always made her kooky little hampers. We've got her pjs and book just need to get her sweets and giving her money.

The kids' dairy free selection boxes (for anyone who also needs these, Mini Moos sell direct from dairyfreechocolates.co.uk).

A car. Our car is falling into pieces and we didn't want to drive down south for Xmas with it.

Just a dinky initial keyring for grown up DD from a little indie shop to pop in her stocking.

Four post it note books buy one get one free. = £4 from neon sheep
Then set of 4 nice pens on offer at wilco. = £1.75
And I have four token gifts for my friends for under £1.50 each.
