So, the quirky stuff.... ? Are you allowed give a hint?
Also, do you stock the "Jingles" stuff?

Alicat

They had this range of vibrantly coloured resin decorations, almost cartoon-like? Wasn't a big fan!



Also, there's only so many wreathes and leafy branch things we can keep; they were more for the Garden Centres and Interior Design places. There was a lot of 'woodland creature' themed stuff, deer, owls, hedgehogs, and candle holders that looked like logs.

There was a gorgeous range, sort of cream/gold, decorated in music sheet designs, and I'd never seen them before. I think they're new because I can't find any pictures online.

What is the 'Jingles' stuff? I was zooming through her iPad ordering things so I wasn't looking at the names of the collections! Also, had my boss breathing down my neck to hurry up!

Alicat

This was gorgeous! In fact, they had a whole range of peacock-coloured stuff. Lots of clip-on birds and little statues.

Posy

Oh I love that combination of colours.

washiskin

The Jingles stuff is a range of tableware (mugs, condiment sets etc) that I've seen in a few pharmacies over the past couple of Christmases. It's this kind of thing:









Btw, I love that little reindeer, are you getting it in? :cool:

Alicat

Oh yes, that looks like the stuff Floraville do. I'll be doing that order at the Trade Show in the RDS, Tuesday week, so I'll let you know

Nah, that reindeer and his buddies were a bit far out for us!

washiskin

Actually, looking at their site, you're right. AND they're in Dunshaughlin - trade only I suppose (darn!).
Pity about the little Reindeer - I foresee a lot of schlepping about in Dublin looking for him.

My friend put up a picture on his facebook of him at a Christmas Trade Fair this morning!

I NEED to be at this! hahaha!

I have to say the plans for this look great. I love the fact it's opened from the 17th of November the same day the lights on grafton street are being turned on.

Boards meet up anyone :P

It should give the city a big Christmas feel.

Alicat

Spent the whole day at the tradeshows! Can't wait for September now!

I sprayed some Mulled Wine and Apple air freshener earlier (found it at the back of the cupboad)and it smelled like Christmas.
I want it to be Christmas now :mad:

7 months to go to the big night, my little elves!! Ho ho ho....

washiskin

Isn't it about now that we do a post mortem on last year's Christmas dinner & start planning this year's?

DenMan

I saw toblerones in a shop today after teaching! If ever there was a sign Christmas is getting closer then that's it!

Loughc

There must be something in the air bringing us all back here this week haha.

Seeing as the weather looks set to be awful I can't wait for the summer to pass!!

Tindie

IN 7 months today it's Xmas! yikes lol

I went to one of the poundland stores in wallsal the other day, they did have some section of Xmas items still for sale! (Well since before Xmas)

Glitzgirl

My little boy is due in over six weeks and he should hopefully be about five months old for his first Christmas so I'm intent on getting him one of these:

^^^^That's the cutest thing!

Merkin

I know, it looks adorable doesn't it?!

I also love this but I think Mr. Merkin might say it's a step too far

I love Elf. So excited about the musical.

Aw Merkin, love the Elf costume. The candy cane outfit is adorable as well. My little fella had the most gorgeous reindeer suit, down to a little bell on his backside. My children are going to hate me when they grow up.....
