Stroud HB today had lots of Hallmark gift bags, original prices at least £2 each, for 29p and 39p each. Also Hallmark ribbons, some paper etc.
They had Thorntons bags of mishapes for 99p as well as various Hannah Montana torches, keyrings and so on if you know anyone who likes that sort of thing!

I had never been there before but had a brilliant time nosing about and will be going back as soon as I can.

Glad you enjoyed it! I had some of the Hallmark wrapping paper last visit and it's great quality.

I live down south so do exactly the same! I went to Newcastle recently there and made time to go to the HB there to stock up on my deodrant, shampoo, floristry oasis and Thorntons chocolates! I also picked up a Neutrogena wave which is brilliant.

dammit i forgot to look for the thorntons misshapes and jelly beans when i went today. It's out of the way so i doubt i'll be there for ages.

Last time i got
options belgian hot choc (about 1/3 normal price), icecream chewits, a cupcake print apron, sleeping bag, garlic & chilli grinder (really great for pasta sauce), branston tomato chickpeas (didn't like them - the sauce tastes quite sugary)

This time i got lots of cake, cereal bars & instant pasta & sauce to take to glastonbury. Got some deodarent and face wipes which i hope are ok as the price is great!

Favourite buys are the hot choc and the cupcake apron. Could make a nice present for someone with an apron & biscuit cutters/ cake tins / matching tea towels. The apron was only £1.50.


The one thing that's a bit annoying is the checkout... i was struggling to pack everything and open bags but they kept passing it through super fast and asked for money before i was done packing and then started putting through the next persons stuff which was landing on top of mine. I'm a bit slow but it wasn't busy (only 1 person after me).

Various designs like "Thank You" "Party" "Happy Birthday" a butterfly, a flower and a love heart. Smashing buy for any crafters.

Marzipan Fish - did you get the deodorant wipes in the green pack for 69p? I use these all the time and think they are great, they even stay wet down to the bottom of the pack!
