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.

The new Lego Ghostbusters car for dh, it's double points weekend for vip members, plus I receive a free Lego Charles Dickens scene, win win!
A couple of days ago I ordered quite a bit from the Australia Zoo online shop for dd as they had free worldwide shipping!

A Georg Jensen gold plated candelabra. It will sit on the window sill in the dining room.❤️

What else...

A set of outdoor cluster fairy lights for the front of our house.
A set of jewelled fairy lights on a copper wire, for the living room.

A notebook and pen for each of my daughters.

Ginger spiced tea, Christmas spiced hot chocolate, two latté glasses, a boxed tea selection, a glass infuser mug, and some strawberry shortbread biscuits.

A stand mixer for my DB who is suddenly obsessed with baking. It was £29 reduced from £50 in the Black Friday sale. Happy with that!

Some touchscreen gloves for DP. He's nearly done now. Just need some whisky miniatures, chocolate and something from DS. A mug maybe?

@SpamIAm

Snowman hot chocolate bombs Chocolate coins, Santas and snowmen for stocking. Christmas tumblers.

Where did you get the Snowman hot chocolate bombs from???

I ordered a gift box of Bomb Cosmetics bath bombs, which were in a BF deal on Amazon. As lively as they look packaged, I will split them between my son’s stockings and keep the odd for myself.

I've already done a fair bit of my shopping but did a final few boys today:
Falke slipper socks for my parents
A good bottle of calvados for my Dad
Estée Lauder Youth Dew and chocolate Marzipan for my Mum
Annuals for my nieces and nephews

Oh and just ordered FatFace pyjamas for my step daughter

@AnotherOne4 Snowmen were from Home Bargains. I've been trying to get them for weeks but they've all been broken previously. Aldi also have some apparently.

I’m fascinated to know where you put all this stuff @OohKittens

There’s 64 posts from you on here, most containing lots of items - you must have bought hundreds of things already

I’ve got about 20 things and have run out of places to put them! 😂

oh my goodness I buy such a lot, half of what I've bought isn't even on here. I had an awful childhood so I over compensate for that in everything single way concerning the children, apart from school they are never away from me and I do spoil them it's true It's wrong I know and I was due to start counselling this year. We have no friends or family so the children get from nobody else. The kids each have large bedrooms. Sorry if I have made anyone feel bad that wasn't my intention, I started the thread just to see what others were buying and to get ideas.

Sorry @OohKittens, I didn’t mean to make you feel bad. It’s entirely your choice what you buy for your children

I’m just genuinely fascinated to know where you put it all, outside of sight of little eyes, as I’m stumped for places!

I’ve loved this thread lots of nice ideas,

That's ok you didn't, I'm more thinking I may upset someone. It's all in bin bags up the attic, I'm caught up with wrapping the majority. We get the bags down on christmas even afternoon when the children walk the cat and it all fills a spare room at the back of the house which is not used. Everything is timed so well to make it work.

My nephew loves trains so I bought him a London Underground duvet cover, fleece blanket, light, cushion, book and a huge toblerone. I've decided each day to completely finish each person's presents because it's helping me be more organised!

@Holothane Agreed, I’ve got lots of inspiration from this thread

I have a hotel chocoalt velvitizer, and i have in previous years bought a couple as gifts, but this morning ive bought the Aldi dupe for a friend.

@OohKittens you children walk your cat? 😂

Haha yes I have pedigree house cats, ragdolls and a Norwegian forest kitten.

I've just ordered a personalised beer glass for my dad to go with some artisan beers ☺

Ordered a Reese’s selection box and a slime kit from Smyths

Dithering over a hairdryer for dd18 and a waffle maker for bil. Think I might wait for Black Friday.
In my basket though

Love this, so many great ideas, thank you all! Just spent £30 on an ammonite fossil and three little treasure box gifts from UKGE thanks to someone way back at the beginning of the thread

Thrilled just ordered the in-laws stuff to be delivered to them I’m thrilled it’s coming on nicely now.

A mattress
School shirts
Jeans
Airpod Pros (good ones for me!)
Anker wireless earbuds (cheapies for dh)

Need to step away from the internet. Too long to go until Xmas and cant keep spending!!!

Just ordered Turkish delight hot chocolate for DH from Whittard of Chelsea, nearly finished just need to get private Eye Annual for him, a small fuzzikins set for dd1 and some sweets / chocolate for my bestie.

I think that's it, must avoid the twitch
