    A finger of fudge is just enough....

    I just purchased tickets to a Christmas concert for the night before we fly home for Christmas!

    Well July is finally nearly over and it’s back on the bandwagon after a sabbatical from the Christmas forum.
    Managed to pick up this hallmark ornament for €10 on Amazon a short time ago.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0792PFXWD/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A1KC96QWGNE3DE&psc=1

    It retailed at $30/€25 when it was released last year and it is just beautiful.
    It was $ 10 on Monday but has gone back up to 12 again for anyone interested.

    Have 3 more ornaments winging their way from the US. Will post some pics when they arrive.

    I did not know there was a Swarovski sale, thanks for the head's up! :D

    I got a Clinique serum last week in Dublin airport. The serum is €127 in the shop (!!) and €106 in the airport. Still crazy expensive, but twenty quid off is not to be sneezed at. :)

    The Crumble-topped Mince Pies look tempting, and the Chocolate Bauble looks nearly too good to eat.

    These arrived yesterday from the U.S. My little one is besotted with the lo rider snowman. It’s a really fun ornament. We “ played” with them for 30 mins before packing them away until November! :D

    Still avail for 11 euros on amazon. It actually retailed at $34.99. It’s printed on box so dearer then the 30 I thought it was. Only thing is you need a special cord for the music to play which probably won’t work here unless I get an adapter but happy that cord pull works. It is cute!

    "This year, the list includes a Peppa Pig playset, a twerking llama :eek: as well as toys from Paw Patrol, Lego and LOL Surprise. They will all be available to buy at Argos from July 27, with the exception of a Toy Story toy which is available in stores now."

    Me, I would love the LEGO Harry Potter Night Bus !
    Owleez also looks cute.


    More on this.
    Basically, the llama is for real.:eek:
    I quite like the Cubby Bear and still would love the Night Bus.

    I happened to see that twerking llama on Nickelodeon or one of those channels last week and my little one went crazy when she saw it. Me and her Dad got a great laugh out of the ad! No doubt we will see it performing on the toy show :D

    A local shop advertised on fb last week that they were getting in Chirstmas worktop savers on Friday, so in I go Friday evening to pick them up ........given that everyone gives out that Aug is too early for Christmas stuff..........only to be told that they were completely sold out :(:(:(

    So obviously people talk the talk giving out about early Christmas stuff, but there's obviously a lot of us who like Christmas out there.

    In good news, they are getting more in and the lady is going to let me know the next time they come in......and I got the last of their Santa trays :)

    Woodies and the range worth checking out closer to the time, definitely saw them there last year.

    ‘The Christmas Shop, which will be located in Dublin, Cork, and Limerick, will showcase an incredible selection of the most exquisite decorations, Christmas trees, and unique gifts across a special curation of themes.’

    Do you think I’ll get any tinsel, 3 rolls of wrapping paper for €5 and a flashing snowman??!?!

    Not strictly a Christmas purchase per se however ordered a new chair for the living room and commented to the wife it will be perfect for my Dad (can’t get out of low chairs) for Christmas.
