I missed the cut off for this last year, but once you sign up I think it is until you unsubscribe. DS is 3yrs now so think he will like it. I loved the Argos catalogue growing up

Thanks @pontipinemum 😊

Reminds me that I used to love cutting up the pages of the Argos catalogue and making a collage, did anyone else have those crinkly edge scissors? Ah simpler times ☺️

I loved the Argos catalogue. I was telling my DD 20s about the green shield stamps to buy things from there the other day.

@TaTuirseOrm I've actually recently bought crinkly scissors for DS. I might give them to him when the catalogue arries.

@Iloveeverycat I don't remember green shield stamps what were they?

They were given away by participating retailers, typically one stamp for every 6d (2½ new pence) spent. The stamps were collected in a booklet, and when the booklet was full, it could be exchanged for a gift from the catalogue. The gifts ranged from small items like pens and pencils to major appliances like televisions and washing machines.
