On the subject of books I've been using School Depot - cheaper than Amazon/Waterstones etc on a lot of titles. Discovered by accident that you don't have to have an account or be a teacher/school to use it.

@Reastie ohdeer have some quirky stationary for a few pounds. I usually buy 3 pieces from there and team it up with Sainsbury’s sale stuff. Matalan did great ‘this girl can’ etc pencils last year too.

[Lockdownhairdontcare]

Sorry should have said @Reastie they do 3 for £10 too.

[Reastie]

Thank you for the stationary recommendations, will have a look later. Major budget this Christmas to work to.

Just got my Lottie Ballerina - is it supposed to look like this on the headpiece? This is my first Lottie purchase and I'm kind of disappointed in the quality 😕

Has anyone who's been in M&S for the gin noticed if their Xmas choc coins, choc Brussel sprouts & the small choc bits for advent calendars are in yet?

[WhereTheresAHill]

@superstar84 My M&S had a few Christmassy bits but I didn’t notice Brussel sprouts and coins. More mince pies/tins of biscuits/chocs etc

[Trumpton]

@superstar84
I bought coins and saw choc Brussels last week .

[WatchoutfortheROUS]

Has anyone got this game? www.thetoyshop.com/games-jigsaws/childrens-games/Elf-Decorate-The-Tree-Game/p/546615

I'm wondering if it'll be any good for an 8 year old or whether it'll be too young?
