    Apologies if this is the wrong location for this.

    I've been trying to source some nice novelty Christmas tree lights for my folks. I should have ordered online but I've left it late.

    They had a lovely old set which was several ornaments like a horse-carriage, lanterns, snowflake, spinning top etc that lit up.

    All I've been able to find in the usual spots (Woodies, B&Q etc) are bog standard white/blue LED lights which look pretty bland.

    Can anyone help with this? It needs to be in a bricks&mortar shop. Thanks!

    Based in Limerick but I can check out Cork too. I was in Lidl the other day and it seemed mostly the bog standard glass bulb or led lights. I run in again later sure and to Aldi.

    Conboys in Woodquay Galway had a few boxes of Pifco Victorian Lanterns yesterday
    The light set you're talking about was called Tutti Fruiti I think and had one of each of their most popular lights on the strand but it's no longer made
