    Pick up a tin of quality street? A Christmas ornament? Cranberry sauce?
    Cake decorations? Wrapping paper or somebody's present?


    Come and show us here so we can ooooh and aaaah over all your purchases! :)

    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.

    I bought my brother a jumper back in May that I'm giving him for Christmas :o It was such good value for the brand that I had to grab it when I saw it.

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

    It's the other grown up in the house that's the problem! Little does he know I have secret plans to put up a third Christmas tree this year, all will go up while he's away with work ;)
