there is a Christmas Gift Ideas TSV on the 03/10/20
A whistling key ring/calculator/poo bag dispenser, with torch, trolley coin and potato peeler - cause you need all these things when you're out and about..It'll be in a gift box no doubt!
And they’ll probably be sold in sets of three.
That’s lovely, catzrcool (they are, by the way!). The same sort of look as mine. I am sort of sentimental about mine after all this time. It has happy memories so I won‘t be trading it in for a flashy £300 one with remote control any time soon.Silly prices. We got our Christmas tree many years ago from Woolies. It is chunky, really thick and sturdy. We cover it in ornaments we have bought over the last 30 years. It has survived cats climbing up the inside, baubles being whacked and tinsel pulled off. It cost us £15 and wouldn't swap it for the world. It is only 5ft but just right for us.
Lovely. That's made me a bit emotional!We are a bit sentimental about ours as well. And certain baubles and ornaments as well. I remember the first time I went out Christmas shopping with my MIL to be (at the time) and I bought her (and myself) a lovely porcelain snowman to sit on her window. She cried and said it was the first time anyone had bought her a Christmas ornament. But as she has 2 sons it doesn't surprise me. Every time I look at mine I remember that afternoon. First cuddle I ever gave her. ❤
I love looking at the decs in shops. TK Maxx do nice ones, too, usually a bit different. I might pop in this week (just realised I’ve not been in TK Maxx since March or before).I buy mine in the sale after Christmas or just before and Homebase, M&S and John Lewis do nice decs and beautiful trees never spend much on either
I can’t picture this - it sounds very unusual.A year ago, at a garden centre we don't often visit, I saw a pre-lit tree that had an exposed trunk with the branches starting a metre up from the base, it was an instant purchase. My girls have always called me a yuleaholic because Christmas is so important to me & we all have our own way of doing it so I know that many wouldn't consider a tree like this. However, decorated with clear crystal decorations it was stunning, well I thought it was
