Posy

Pick up a tin of Quality Street? Cranberry sauce? Mr Kipling mince pies?

Cake decorations? Somebody's present or a box of Christmas cards?


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

Bought this Christmas draft excluder for our house today

Oh, I love it.


I bought these today as I've never seen them before and they look yum! If they pass my taste test tonight I'll buy another box for Christmas. :pac:

They have all the different boxes, including the assorted box, in Debenhams, if that's any good to you.

Jude13

Bought three hampers one for the mammy, one for my OH's Gran and one for my Aunt whose house we are staying in. I am quite jealous of the wicker boxes they get delivered in but we would never get them on the plane.

Also got a pair or personalised gymnastic hand guard thingys for the wee one. And got myself a pair of shoes that I hope will be delivered before Christmas.

Bought nothing today, but I bought the last of my presents on Sunday (and wrapped them!) and bought the last of the cards yesterday. All I've left to do is decide if I'm buying myself a Christmas present

GeneralSherman

A bottle of Walsh's Hot Irishman's 10 year old Whiskey for my father in law.
Earrings for my mother and youngest daughter.
An oven thermometer for the Turkey (he's delighted !)
A book for my dad

Nothing bought since the weekend and I still have a few things to get - I've just written my remaining list and determined to get at least 2 more gifts at lunchtime!

SarahLil

Didn’t get to post here yesterday bought myself 2 pairs of boots one pair I couldn’t leave in Penneys they were 7 euro
Got my OH some Chanel aftershave I was so happy
the lady that served me was really good and wrapped the aftershave too I expressed my thanks to her as I am sure it’s not a nice time for retail
One more present to get for himself, something for neighbors, I’ve baskets to make up too so I’m sure I’ll need to add a few things to them

Posy

I bought some wrapping paper in Arnotts and Christmas ribbon in Dunnes.

I was going to buy some crackers but am waiting for a better bargain!

Hey! I said hey!

Yep most supermarkets have them

SarahLil

Got some reduced decorations in Heatons today
Got the Christmas pudding in Dunnes that’s on Special, some cheeses 3 for 2
I was telling myself buy the cheeses they have good dates and they may have none left by Thursday or Friday

Toto Wolfcastle

Vodka! 2 for €40 in Tesco. With various vouchers and coupons we ended up spending €10. That’s the last of what we need to buy for Christmas, apart from a gift box.
