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.

Nothing today but I fell down a rabbit hole of Christmas bedding from next after seeing it on another thread and am now contemplating if we need some here...I know dd would love some of the fleece / teddy style ones but I think it could be fun for me and dh too. Think I'm losing the plot this year....

@caperplips it’s been that kind of year, hasn’t it! I think Christmas bedding is lovely - if we hadn’t already spent quite a bit on new bedding this year I’d probably get some.

@HollyandIvyandallthingsYule it sure is that kind of a year! We've never had Christmas bedding before and dd is a teen now so I don't know what's come over me! I'm also contemplating a hot chocolate bar in the kitchen, I might need an intervention to save me from myself!!

It sounds perfectly reasonable to me! But then I’m a Dane and ‘hygge’ is in our bones...

Handmade Christmas Fudge from a cute little shop in Bath. Online

Mine have christmas bedding, they also get new pjs and slippers on the first. I managed to get the grinch ones. Today I ordered a christmas dinner set it's white with silver sleigh scene.

Charging stations for the kids iphones and earpods

Echo dot for DP
Christmas tablecloth
Snowman socks for me and elf socks for DD
Glittery cutlery set which I'm going to keep until Christmas
Apple and cinnamon spice candle

My last Christmas present delivery arrived today. Anything else (and there isn't much) can be picked up easily locally even accounting for lockdown.

DD's 18th birthday is this weekend (29th) so we will be putting the tree up as is tradition. She likes it up for her birthday.

I'm hoping she will accompany me to choose some window lights a light up star or tree etc but walking 200 metres seems to be a bit much for her since hitting her teens. 😂

Perused the toys in Lidl, intending to buy something for DS because DD has so much more than him (which is mostly fine because he's a baby, but I was feeling a little guilty). Came away with a playmobil jail for DD 🤦‍♀️ did then pop to home bargains where I picked up a Vtech plane for DS though.

A concertina for my Dad and 10 solar light strings for my fruit trees.

A foam pogo-jumper for DS5
(gift from my aunt)
Fancy biscuits (emergency gifts)
Christmassy chocolates - reindeer’s, stars and snowmen, ready for the advent calendars
Lego Starwars sticker books (departing gifts from the dinosaurs at the end of Dinovember!)

Clear coffee mugs for hot chocolate bombs at Christmas I’m trying so hard not to have the silver half price puffer jacket.

Private Eye Annual for dh
Christmas socks and dark chocolate Florentines for my dad
Bounty Biscuits for my mum
Keel toys kitten for dd2
Small fuzzikins baby set for dd1

A subscription to OS maps
A couple of gardening bits
Various bits on a food order - mulled wine, crisps etc, ready for Christmas.

Wrapped OH's presents and have possibly gone a bit overboard... oh well. I do need stocking presents for him still though and am struggling for inspiration!

DH just ordered a BBQ for his parents

Just one thing today a princess bride tshirt for youngest with Andre the giant on (loves the film but equally loves Andre as he is a huge wwe fan).

Some craft paper & other bits to make some decorations

A set of vintage glasses

4 red spiral/twisted candles for the advent candle holder

A charm for my daughter

I ordered a Pikachu Switch controller for my DS - think he'll love it! Also ordered a Lego dots set and scuff-a-luv for DD and some books for them both. Just want to get them a board game and then I'm done.

Ordered my final present today.. A brass Turkish pepper grinder for my friend( his choice!)

Present for my DM arrived - Estée Lauder gift set - full size moisturiser plus mini eye cream, night cream and cleanser. It looks lovely and I’m really pleased with it. I’ve already got her other bits and bobs - crossword book, liquorice allsorts, Maltesers and a hand care set.

Hoodie for DH
Top and pjs for DS
Gap - 50% off sale.

Petrol as I had been driving about on red .

New duvet covers from Dunelm for DD and DS

Still trying to find a decentish second monitor for DS - has to be the same size as his current one which is 24.5 inches and no more than £150.

Oh and got a waffle maker from lakeland for dd as she is obsessed with waffles at the moment.
