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.

Today I have bought matching xmas pjs for me and my DD. A Pokemon advent calendar for my DS, Crayola advent calendar for DD, a bath and body advent calendar for me and a lynx one for DP. Also 2.5kg of celebrations and retro sweet hamper. These will be split up for CE box, stockings and to go in a pinata for Boxing day. As there will be no visit to FC or the pantomime and no seeing my parents I thought it would add a bit of extra fun! I've also never got myself an advent calendar before but I'm trying to treat myself with the same care I do everyone else and give myself permission to treat myself too. I have also got a book called 'Calm Christmas' to help with my anxiety and hopefully give myself a calm winter time!

Last night I went to TKMaxx and got some lovely bits
Wrapping paper
Socks
Toiletries
Stationery
Pyjamas
Duplo
Plsymobil Noahs Ark £10 damaged box 😊

I always forget about there but someone at work suggested it

I bought the Lego Disney castle for dd yesterday, I thought I'd better get it in case they sell out again. Received double Lego points too.
I got a lovely Christmas FAO Schwartz bauble from TKMaxx the other day as well!

Ordered a coke mini fridge and a nuzzy luvs for d10. I've hardly had any sleep but I'm thinking of doing some more wrapping. I've got click and collect (Stephen Merchant christmas comedy drama) recorded on the box from several years back so I'm thinking of putting it on.

Ordered the fire 7 Amazon deal for DD that's all her main presents done now 🙂

Not bought but won a big Toreta cat plush from Toreba that I've been trying to get for days! Only using free plays too. I got her the Toreta pillow from there a few months ago and she loves it so she's going to be very happy with that!

This for DH, www.amazon.co.uk/amazon-echo-show-8-compact-smart-display-with-alexa/dp/B07SMN7FYZ/ref=gbps_img___053c8830?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=mumsnetforu03-21
We have an Alexa in the kitchen but DS1 suggested moving that to the bedroom and having this bigger one in the kitchen.

Contigo mug £18 for DH and Ant & Dec biog for mum £8 Amazon.

Also 2 sets of curtain twinkling lights as I'm decorating big time this year for Christmas.

@TheCrow what is toreba?

@OohKittens it's an online teddy claw game based in Japan, you control it with your phone

Today, I collected my Entertainer order, which included:

2 x 50 Nerf pellets (DS1&2)
Amazeball (DHs Godson)
Lego Starwars Mini fighter (DS1)

While in there, I also bought:

Gruffalo Top Trumps (DS2)
Bath bomb multipack (Ds1 & 2)

And I popped into the Works:

2 x Harry spotted puzzles (DS1 & God daughter’s sister)

Our Ocado order arrives later and will also include:

3 x Pass the Pigs (DS1, 2 God daughters)

I bought 2 felting kits from the works in the 2 for £10 deal, dd will love them though I might keep one for myself. Have stayed away from amazon today as I spent too much yesterday x

Today after lengthy research and a visit to currys to compare models in real life i have bought the new Samsung tab A7 in gold for grown up daughter for her netflix consumption. Honesly feel relieved to have it out of the way after batting back and forth between that and the new basic ipad i was sold by extra speakers.

I don't buy a lot of things.
This week.
Hamper from Harvey Nicholls, a gift set from Penhaligons, a set of geese shaped planters from Waitrose florists and a bottle of shower gel from Tiffanys.

Started today to spread the cost
Logitech Mx3 computer mouse DS2
Anker charger stand DS2
I have 3 DS's!

oohkittens trickyd I love kukubird leggings, I wear them all the time and the prints are so much fun! Not sure if they are an in thing, we arent very fashion conscious here!! Dd admires mine so thought I'd order her some so she won't steal my ones!! If theres none reduced on amazon now (seems to be random reductions) they have loads on 2 for £5 in the exotic section on their actual website. Can only order one set at a time but only £1.99 postage so still a bargain. Or they have some sale ones too.
In terms of quality I find them comfy at a size 12 on bottom as does dd who wears a 6/8. They aren't see through, soft feeling and wash well. Similar in style/fit/quality to lucy lockets casual wear if you've had those before.

Thanks, nocutsnobuttsnococonuts. I think I need their ‘curvy’ range for size 16 but the designs are rather limited and the ones I like are sold out, but I shall get some standard ones for DGD.

Ordered
Doctor who 12th series s13
Doctor who space museum/chase dvd s13
Doctor who fury from the deep s13
The quartermass dvd collection s13
Fortnite jeep s7

Arrived today a collectors dastardly do mlp set (big with the older bronies apparently) d10

2 x Portmeirion platters with oakleaf pattern - seconds, so very cheap, small flaws in the glaze but you can only see then if you hold plates up to the light. They are too big to fit in the kitchen cupboards, so I will have to store them safely elsewhere, have popped them in a drawer under some clothes for safekeeping for now

A selection of gift boxes from Card Factory - they are really nice, many thanks to @IggyAce, @BeaLola and @mummymayhem18 for recommending them.
