2023/2024 Christmas purchases

SarahLil

Followed by @Loughc thread last year (I hope that’s ok to post @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!

Picked up a light up Snowman from Home Store & More for outside the front door yesterday. Can't wait to see what he adds to the outside of the house.

Got a few tree baubles between JYSK, Home Store & More, the local chemist and Sostrene Grenes. The plan was to bin some of our older ones but I definitely didn't throw out as many as I bought. Have hidden a tin of chocolate mikado and a tin of shortbread so far. Have bought and wrapped presents for small nieces/nephews. Only my own kids and husband to buy for now. Have the Christmas dinner ordered and paid for.

After 22 years of Santa visiting our house he won't be stopping here anymore. Not sure whether to be sad or absolutely delighted 😂

Picked this hand held snow globe in the card factory it spins the snow and lights up smaller babies and toddlers might like it I am almost sure it was less than a fiver

I used to love picking up plastic snow globes in Henry Street or Ilac years ago all the little visitors use to always go mad for them when visiting

(Not sure why my photos won’t upload any tips please)

Picked up these decorations in Penneys earlier none are heavy

The hope is that in a few years we have a 2nd tree in the kitchen for my little one (but really me) 😂…..so I am starting early on the decorations for the 2nd tree

SarahLil

Picked this up too trying to add a decoration each year based on my little ones interests last year was unicorns this years dogs

First two purchases two nice candles from Dunnes.

Dunnes have some nice stuff again this year.

SarahLil

lovely candles @Loughc when the candle is finished burning you could clean the jar out and recycle to use as a tea light candle holder

SarahLil

I picked these up one for me and 2 as token gifts for my pals who are like me and all about the cosy scents

I love all the Christmas scents these come with mandarin clove & cinnamon

I’m hoping they will have our trees smelling festive

SarahLil

I picked up 5 metre roll of Disney princess wrapping paper in Aldi for €1.50

I seen stitch & spiderman too if anyone looking

Littleone picked her own advent calendar while there decided on Paw Patrol, they had Bluey too, Malteasers I was very tempted by the Swizzels one for myself

They had some really beautiful green glass votive type candle holders a while back as part of their winter range, 3 euro each. I picked up a few for my Christmas table. You would pay ten times that for similar quality elsewhere.

Picked up this for our daughter, she wants her own mini tree and she generally wants an advent calendar so I figured I'll kill two birds. Decent price on Amazon at about €18, it's €42 on the Easons website! She loves the film and I'm hoping this can be pulled out every year instead of getting her a new advent calendar annually. The amount of waste Christmas creates is probably the only thing I don't like about this time of year.

bought this Aldi today 9.99 I am thinking hung on my kitchen Window with a suction clip or on hall mirror

I have similar stars hung on kitchen double doors from Aldi last year it would go well with them

SarahLil

picked this spoon rest up in Penneys €3.50
