From Home Bargains, they’ve got lovely Christmas lip balms, bath bombs and hand cream. And all of the sweet treats. The gingerbread biscuit “mug huggers” are gorgeous. So are the mini candy canes and the reindeer chocolate covered spoons!!

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts have a look at Boots for Harry Potter make up, they’ve got the cutest “Hogwarts acceptance letter” make up palette. It’s £12.50, but also in the 3 for 2 deal. They’ve also an adorable “time turner” key ring lip gloss and a “snitch” cheek highlighter and a ink and quill liquid eyeliner. I love the range for myself, but would also be perfect for a teen

Also home bargains. I picked up a really cute Initial rose gold note book £1.99 and a rose gold metal pen that has moving glitter in the top part £2.69. Lovely quality and ive seen similar in Next for 4x the price.

Does anyone know if HB have their big cinnamon spice candles in yet?

HB have a unicorn make up mirror which I think lots of preteen (or young teen) girls would love.

Stationery sets with pencils, sharpener, eraser etc all set into the ruler.

Lovely notebooks.

Willis have some rather interesting bits online, so I need a visit there shortly.b

Ooo our home bargains had so much good stuff in on our most recent trip so hope you enjoy! They had a white chocolate/hot chocolate melting snowman which I have tried and tested, will put a pic up- would make a nice stocking filler.

Lots of nice bath bombs.

B&M had a Butterkist movie night gift set. Had a bag of popcorn+ two popcorn holders and a pic n mix.

Are you on the Home bargains fan page on Facebook.. Lots of ideas. The snowmen are a massive massive hit. Also YouTube have great videos of recent hauls. Would love a trip myself Grin

Thought I would update! Went to both but wasn't overly impressed. I couldn't find the hot chocolate snowmen or toppers both would have been great for dds.

I got some big gift boxes (30×30cm) as I'm doing a clothes mystery box for dd1 and an lol one for dd2. A slush puppy maker for dd1 (which dh is now sulking about as he loves them and I should have bought him one too!) Wrapping paper. Smores pop tarts. Lol dolls for dd2 that were reduced to £6.

Then stocked up on toiletries, snacks and cat food!

I did get some matching pjs in matalan though which was next to home bargains which I was most excited about 😁

Op for your slush machine, ebay have sellers doing 5l syrups for them for about 20 quid and goes a long way

Teeheee about going to Bognor to shop! Sorry OP! Before I moved away from there a couple of years ago, I always shopped in Brighton or Pompey! B&M where I live have giant tubes of Pot Noodles for £5, my kids have always loved them so I've bought a couple as (very large) stocking fillers!
