    All the Christmas toot was reduced from 50p to 25p today. There were mostly decorative items left but I picked up some 5-pack gift bags (self-sealing), a LED wand and an elf notebook at this price.

    I also got what I went in for - an LED lightbulb. I've heard mixed reviews about these, but given they cost about £3 elsewhere and I won't be using the lamp that often, I thought they'd be worth a go, and it seems to be working fine. Was impressed by the range of lightbulbs they have in stock and they still have the display stand of large antique light bulbs.

    Forgot to say, I also bought some gold and silver spray paints (ideal for pine cones) at 25p.

    The I Love twin pack of perfumes are actually nice! I bought the Oud and Fresh one. I react to many perfumes but these I have been fine with.

    There's a bit of blethering about the Poundland Mens' scent dupes (no-one's talking about the women's scents on HUKD yet,* though). I commented here

    100ml, EDT.

    Joop Homme! is Jape
    Invictus is Iconique
    1 Million is King In Million
    Cool Water is Aqua Chill

    The address given on the back seems to be one that is listed on a variety of Poundland brands, so these must be manufactured for them.

    *Edit: Actually, I found a Poundland female scent, as I remember seeing this on shelves! Beau Reve (copy of La Vie Est Belle) gets a good review halfway down the page here

    Poundland's selling engagement rings - just in time for Valentine's Day

    Take your pick. I quite fancy the ruby heart :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Simple is a good price but unfortunately the shampoo is not sulphate-free (as ever, my concern relates to my fading colour).
