Loughc

Pick up a tub of Celebrations? A Christmas ornament? Splash out on a new Christmas tree?

Cake decorations? Wrapping paper or get somebody's present ticked off the list?

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

I ordered a Christmas box for my little one I plan on using it as a December box over the years as she grows, filled with Christmas pjs, Christmas beaker, Christmas lolly, crafts, etc use it in the season and run up to the season (only 20 months old at the moment)

I hope it’s ok to post they are an Irish business https://www.daisyboocrafts.ie/product/christmas-eve-box/

My OH got this snow globe for me from Dunnes yesterday. It’s perfect as we have 2 retrievers ourselves.

My sister would love that (she has 5 goldies herself!!) must have a look when back in Dunnes.

Ordered this yesterday... had the 2022 one & thought it a nice wall calendar that had the countdown included with plenty of christmas facts & trivia.

I had the 2022 version as well! I would love a daily desk one, that would countdown the days to Christmas so you could rip them off one by one, and maybe throw in a Christmas cracker joke or fact on the page each day.

That would be great for the office, if you find one let me know! Couldn't see one on Amazon unfortunately.

A side hustle is what I believe it's called.

Tell me about it. Got the 'You are not dancing!' when taking Elf1 to her school Halloween disco 😂

Bought two of these the other day - all proceeds go to the Jack and Jill Foundation who are a brilliant charity - my niece has very complex special needs and Jack and Jill have been an amazing support over the last few months.

That set is so cute! Great price too!!

To upload a picture- take a screenshot of the picture, otherwise it uploads sideways for some strange reason. Then click the photo icon (2nd one- it looks like a sun and mountains) and choose your picture 🙂

SarahLil

Thank you @jellybear I hope you are well with the kiddos xx

I picked up an extra set of lights today for the tree 1000 led cluster lights for €25.00 in Dunnes I think it is a really good deal my other sets I bought in homestore and were definitely more expensive

This week I got 3 tubs of sweets in SV for a tenner. That's all I'm getting as last year we had so many we were eating them well into January. Have started youngest list and have the eldest two warned to send me links to what they'd like. Got a new Tipperary Crystal decoration of a robin to add to the many I have already. And got a countdown blackboard in Lidl so have that up in the hall now.

I'm thinking of getting this also. It's a great little book with lots of good classic recipes. I find Odlums recipes great.

Picked this up in Lidl earlier. It lights up and the circle in the middle spins around. I've been looking for something for my kitchen window for a while, so I'm hoping this will work.

I picked up so many other bits and put them back too I think I'll have to go back again today. They had really nice path finder lights that I hadn't seen in their leaflet that I now realise I need!
