Especially after last year! I get that demand will always outweigh supply but it’s bloody ridiculous, especially as the sellers I have seen on ebay have multiple letters etc.

Alicesays · 16/10/2021 08:15

I'm off to a B&M this morning so will look out for E, W, any others?

Alicesays · 16/10/2021 08:45

They have:

R

Happy to post to anyone who needs them!

@Alicesays

Happy to post to anyone who needs them!
I'm all good thank you, as I managed to get my letters that I needed. I originally went with my child's middle name but managed to get his first name so I'm covered on both accounts 😂

Have you managed to get the ones you needed?
I keep having a look but not sure if anyone needs them still.

Has anyone seen a B sack? I've been a few times and always have quite a selection of letters but never a B, I wouldn't have thought it was that usual?

Alicesays · 16/10/2021 21:04

Sadly no, they had 2/3 that I needed so will have another look next week!

maxineputyourredshoeson · 16/10/2021 21:16

Mine arrived from Matalan today, they are absolutely beautiful, so soft too.

Which letter do you need? I don't mind keeping an out for a sack or stocking for you. My local has quite a stock left.
Brollywasntneededafterall · 16/10/2021 21:59

I've never seen the grey ones. We have the red ones at our local store

It’s funny you should say that… I ordered them for MIL (who comes for Christmas but is living with us at the moment) and our two DD’s. MIL has now decided that they are so nice she is going to order one for me and one for DH. I’m now debating on getting the sacks, although we really don’t need them either! Grin

Marking so I remember to look for you guys when I go to B&M.

I might just order them as they are such good quality they will last years

Cherryrainbow · 17/10/2021 18:07

Finally got the s sack today from trostre b&m to go with the a and h ones I got for the other kids. I may have done a dance and high5 with my son lol x

Brollywasntneededafterall · 17/10/2021 20:34

Do they do it deliberately to make you return multiple times in search of the elusive missing one??

Mummapenguin20 · 17/10/2021 20:51

I think they must do

AddictedToLuv · 18/10/2021 16:46

Any chance we can consolidate what is needed in a list?

My DS goes to swimming practice for an hour and I get to wander around B&M and Aldi for an hour next door.

WhoEightAllThePies · 21/10/2021 21:36

Has anyone ever seen a Y sack? I've been to my local B&M MANY times, but no luck so far. Wondering if they even do it?

Elphaba17 · 21/10/2021 23:24

A lovely relative bought my 2 children the sacks today. That's the first I have seen them and they are absolutely beautiful. I think I will have to go on the hunt myself for the stockings now.

PoshWatchShitShoes · 22/10/2021 21:53

Lots of red E, R, C and T sacks at the B&M I went to today. Loads of red H stockings.

Tons of the silver colour sacks and silver stockings. In a totally different place in the store, so maybe people only look at the red pile and don't go searching for the silvers, which were 2 aisles away from red.

Yes I went to another B and M store about 10 miles away from where I live, and it looked like they’d just had a delivery. But the red and grey were in completely different aisles!Also stockings were dotted randomly around the shop.
Had a quick scan through whilst helping dd search for a ‘P’ stocking but there were way too many to check properly.
