Christmas stock in the shops now! 🎄

[SaraHoliday]

🎄 Harrods Christmas shop is open!

🎄 I'm reliably informed that 'Christmas' is arriving in B&M the first week of September too!

I have seen that Next have a few Christmas bits showing online too!! Dreaming of cooler weather and the start of the cosy season!

Yes Next shows Christmas stuff now if you search for it. Same for John Lewis but you have to specifically search 'Christmas decorations' They both have some nice stuff!

Christmas chocolates and gifts in B&M today

John Lewis website has a 'Felt Shark on Surfboard' tree ornament. I mean, who doesn't need one of those?

Picked these up from my local b&m, as they're just starting to put out some stock a lot of shelves were empty but I nabbed what I could.

Few bits in matalan online now too

on holiday in Italy and have bought a handmade bauble today and an espresso cup to put away, do they count?

I can confirm B&M has Christmas chocolates, gift sets and wrapping paper!

The Range has Christmas reductions (old stock) and the aisles are being cleared ready for 2026 items!

Beautiful. I buy a Christmas bauble every time I go abroad. I dedicate 1 Christmas tree especially to them. They just make my heart glow seeing them every year! ♥️🤭

I was in The Range last week and they were just stocking the shelves with tinsel while I was there 🎄

That is quite honestly one of the nicest things I've ever read and I am 100 percent stealing that idea!

Awwww. Thanks! I'll take that nice comment! 🎄

We have did the bauble thing when DS was growing up.

Frankly this lack of real connection with season is some of the climate change problem.
Christmas/Yuletide/Winter Equinox has always been anticipated in summer. But now it’s about burning through resources from summer to winter rather than preserving limited stock.

I saw people posting on Facebook how Morrisons is getting a lot of stuff out. Rushed there last night and nothing in ours 😭

Lots of Christmas items in B&M - alongside the Halloween things.....

New from Cadbury this year.... Dairy Milk Smash Bauble.... (Chocolate Buttons and a Freddo version)

I bought a Christmas decoration in June - Christmas decorations are routinely sold as souvenirs in Northern Europe. I do like hanging my various momentos of trips past on my tree each year

Oh these look nice . My DC ( adults) don't want chocolate advent calendars now . My DS liked the Cadbury chocolate coins but I couldn't find them in-store or online shopping last year .

Cadbury Chocolate Coins are in stock too (at the very right of this photo). They seem to be on 'hanging strips' this year rather than in a box. 🎄

A few more photo's from this week!

A few Christmas things are now starting to appear in Tesco:

Lidl had mince pies and stollen bites stocked up today . Love a stollen bite!

I find iced lebkuchen biscuits are irresistible! I have to limit myself on those! 😋
