Not today, but recently in Kildare Village , Cath Kidston umbrellas, 7 in total, all different and wrapped individually. They are all going to the one place so couldn't buy things of different value!
I got the small folding ones, as they are easier to carry/store.

The best thing about being a grown up is that you can do whatever you want!

We had a very productive Christmas weekend:

We got my god daughter's Christmas clothes, Santa presents, presents from me and two of her Uncles.

We also got presents for my nephews and my friends little cousins.

My friend also bought me a lovely pair of Sketchers as my Christmas present.

My Christmas cookie cutters! Hoping to make gift baskets for family, I'm excited to use these already

I normally don't do anything Christmas related until after the Income Tax Deadline in mid November. Our son's birthday is in September so we try to suss up what he needs and if it will be a birthday present or Christmas present and there is 3 months between the dates.
Saw a really good Lego minecraft set in the Smyths sale last weekend so have put that aside for him to Christmas. Also TK Max just opened near us and, with himself beings a huge Formula 1 fan, my husband picked up a brilliant Ferrari tshirt, actually quite similar to one my husband bought in Italy a few year ago. I went into TK Max that evening and out of the corner of my eye spied a Mercedes AMG tshirt to commemorate the construction title win for 2014, might not make sense to most people but I know our son will absolutely love it!

The gingerbread family sounds adorable ha. Came close to posting one of my more blonde moments earlier when I read your reply! I was going to say I may go to amazon and check if they have a gingerbread family with two boys... then just realised I can obviously use the boy cutter to make two instead :P sometimes I wonder how I cope haha

I was there at 9 they don't open till 10 on Saturday I didn't realise, I was helping my aunt out so it was nice surprise when I seen the Christmas stock, I wouldn't say it will last too long I remember last year I went there wasn't even wrapping paper left, the restaurant was the busiest when we arrived lol enjoy the trip SMJSF I'm the same can't deal with the crowds that's why i went so early
