Christmas stuff in shops!!

[Friedbanana]

Wondered if people fancied updating on when they see Christmas stuff emerge in shops! I fancy doing a little September browse before it gets busy!! (For some reason quiet Christmas browsing really de-stresses me! 😂) I was in town last Thursday and didn’t see much!
Saw somewhere John Lewis will be going out on 25th September even though it’s already online
-B&M near me have lots of gift stuff out
-Fenwicks currently has a section curtained off so must be getting stuff ready - had a few chocolate stuff out / advent calendars already!
-chocolate stuff out in wilko
Think that’s all I visited! Anyone else?

M&S on Thursday 3rd.

Given the current situation in the NE, not sure I'll have a Fenwick Christmas, this year. My back to school trip to Newcastle on the bus felt a bit final. I did stock up on birthdaybcsrds for the next few months in Fenwick, same as I did before lockdown, in John Lewis.

Oo nice! I just checked the home section in M&S but they didn’t have anything out yet!

@PickAChew I know what you mean- I’m also in Newcastle and am wondering how on earth people will manage social distancing in fenwicks when it gets so busy closer to Christmas! I tend to go in really early on my weekday mornings off and it’s v quiet normally so will see if that’s possible! Obv not if there is a local lockdown!! Good idea stocking up on cards!

Beauty outlet, i got gingerbread man handwash, polar bear one and various stocking fillers. They had a good range

home bargains too, candles smell great

I'm going to matalan on Wednesday and I really hope they have some things in store, dunelmn online also looks great and again hoping they have stock in store. I know it's only September but it's been such a rubbish year, it's nice to have something different to look at.
I did buy some lovely wrapping paper from b and m last week.

Matalan on line have got some stuff.

I spotted Christmas Cards in cards galore. This is always the first thing I buy because older family members like the Nana / grandmother writing on the front. Also, you can now view the Boots 3for2 gifts online.

I was in our local The Range on Friday and they were busy putting all the Christmas stock out. I've promised DD we can go back in a week or so to have a proper look as the aisles were all blocked off.

Loads in B&M! My local Hobbycraft also has quite a lot of Christmas stuff out now though don't think their full range yet.

Here about 2 weeks ago.

Is there any Christmas stock in Primark or Asda yet? Want to get looking at Christmas pjs!

I’ve seen Asda Christmas stuff online @surreygirl1987 but haven’t visited! Yesterday I went to town and theres lots of Christmas food stuff out at M&S (Christmas musical tins and lots of Percy pig novelty stuff) but no home stuff yet. There was a lot of stuff out at Fenwicks but the whole display was still being finished. Paperchase had Christmas cards out and Lakeland had quite a bit out too! Nothing in John Lewis yet

I cant wait to hit Dunelm & The Range and start shopping. But I'll give it another couple of weeks or so to be sure they have their full range out as much as possible.

Yaaay! I'm so worried about another lockdown ... Really want to go Xmas shopping while can!

The Works and Pound Stretcher have some Christmas stock now :)
