Dunelm giving tree

[Flower2025]

Hi I picked up a tag at Dunelm today for a 5 year old girl who wanted dress ups and arts and crafts. I have looked at some dress ups on shien and they are really nice so you think I can purchase them off there or wouldn’t it be allowed I know there’s a lot of mixed reviews about shien things

They're probably really flammable, so I wouldn't want to risk it.

It's too risky due to safety.

Have you looked at George in Asda?

I would avoid Shein, but Asda does lovely ones!! I think there’s an offer on at the moment, £30 off £60 orders from the Asda website (and I believe it includes George), if you’re a new user xx

I can’t answer your question but thank you for caring for this young person.

B&m do some cute princess dresses and Smyths does some mom branded ones that are reasonable too!

Shein and temu clothes and toys have been found to contain a lot of dodgy chemicals (and stuff on Amazon and other resellers too) I find TK maxx really good for discounted good quality dressing up clothes. If that’s out of your budget then I’d go to the works for some arts and crafts, you could get a set of paints, brushes and a pack of small canvases for under £10

Tkmaxx often have lots of reasonably priced dressing up outfits. Id try them rather than shein.

Asda Sainsbury's or Tesco.

So kind of you to do something nice like this.

What a lovely thing to do.

While not brand new could you look in a few charity shops at least you'd (hopefully) know the material would be save

B&M do lots of cheap dress up bits. I wouldn’t even buy someone I didn’t like something from shien

H&M!

Home bargains have some lovely dress up and craft sets in. Reasonable prices too.

Thanks so much everyone I will avoid and have a look at recommendations hope you all have a lovely Christmas x

none of the places I donate to will accept second hand items sadly, all has to be brand new in box/with tags.
I understand why but as someone who hates waste and loves regifts or regifting, I think it’s a shame. Just letting you know because I’d hate you to waste your money when trying to help x

I’m more than happy to let my DDs wear costumes from shein but would always buy something like this from a proper shop.

Your timing is good as a lot of costumes will be going on sale after Halloween.
