What have you bought today?

[OohKittens]

No holiday in October half term as we usually do has meant I've started shopping so much earlier. I will admit I spend a lot on my children. We have no family/friends so buy for nobody else.
Hopefully we can get ideas from each other.

Dunelm this morning... Fitting the last shop on my list which I suspect will close. Got to fluffy blankets (MIL and DM), a candle (MIL) and a mug (Aunt)

I bought a few bits from boots in the 3 for 2 offer, mainly face masks, hand creams and lip balm.

Some funky Christmas tree ornaments from the garden centre including Father Christmas in a space ship (I broke a few of my glass ornaments last year so wanted to replace them).

can't get flying tiger to work.
And when you search the internet there is nothing there at all about the online shop!

Cherry lips sweets, sausage dog calendar, dressing gown, Pokémon socks, tin of m&s Belgian choc biscuits (very small this year!)

Ordered a phone case for ds from Casetify (which I hope arrives in time for Christmas

Ordered bedding and a wall canvas for ds' girlfriend that he says she really wants.

Have a F1 shirt on order for ds' and some Nike clothing for DD also for Christmas.

I hate waiting for deliveries - much prefer to buy things in actual shops.

2 How to Train Your Dragon Playmobil sets
Playmobil school house
Top Trumps cards
Beyblades
Lego police car

Went real life shopping first thing at Lidl - lots of christmas cactuses, christmas roses for the garden and plant pots. Oh and a terrarium. I tend to go plant crazy in lockdown.

just popped into the co-op as our post office is in there.

They have lovely biscuit tins, full of biscuits. I bought one elegant adult one and one very large teenagey one at 3.99 each.

My ds9 is doing Greek gods at school. Just bought him the rest of the Percy Jackson books and Greek Gods Top Trumps and Playmobil Greek Gods figures. All on Amazon

2 bottles of cava and this candlestick holder. Thought it would make a nice centre piece for the kitchen table.

I knew there was something I wanted in lidl (terrarium) but stupidly went to Aldi instead.

Can anyone recommend a fake oodie?

I've just pre-ordered the majority of our Christmas and Boxing Day food from M&S. I hate shopping at the best of times, so definitely cannot stand the thought of queuing/massive crowds. This way, I get to pick up my pre-ordered food at a designated time

I've also twitched and got a flipping fish thing for the cats.

The Boy who saved Christmas book (DS1)
Christmas at Exeter Street book (DS2)
Gruffalo scratch art set (for Goddaughter)

2x colour your own canvas
2x mini decoupage kits

Decorations! Managed to get battery powered outdoor lights - candy cane path lights, lights to go around the decking. Got some coloured lights for the fireplace (usually have white but got coloured to be nice and colourful for the 1yo).

Got a gift bag and adult Christmas colouring book for my dsis. She always does a 1st December box for my DC, so were doing one for her this year to say thank you.

Got chocolates for my ds stocking.

Started wrapping today - it takes so long 😱

Got Christmas napkins too

I've bought a Christmas CD for the car and The Jolly Christmas Postman 🎄🎄🎄

@TheCrow

All for DD (8). She's also obsessed with cats *@Suzi888* as you'll probably be able to tell from her list 😂

Light up skateboard and safety pads and helmet
Hama beads and boards bundle off Facebook marketplace
Tokidoki doughnut cat plush
Ty beanie boo cat
Kittycorn light
Ssundee (her favourite youtuber) action figure
Tom Gates books
Minecraft book
Hair bows
Cat drinking cup
Fluffy cat pen
Pusheen slipper socks
Cat socks
Unicorn themed sweets and snacks for a treat hamper

These have all been picked up the past few weeks. The only thing I spent money on today was a £154 vets bill 😱 so no more Christmas shopping for a little while!

Do you have a link or list for the unicorn treats please?

@MadeForThis I'm interested in fake oodies too if anyone has any recommendations. The genuine ones seem really expensive and won't be available before Christmas by the looks of it. Thanks.

Also meant to say I've bought some Neom candles from QVC today using a referral code and star gifts from Boots for nieces and sister in law. Twitching over a training head on Amazon for my daughter to practice plaiting on!

@redmimi

I've bought the sienna fake oodie from Amazon. It's been recommended a few times on MN. Guess I'll find out after Christmas how good it is 😁
