I want some of the lip balm but couldn't see any at my local.
What department should I be looking in?

In the toiletry section, near all the other lipbalms/vaseline they were on a long strip that hangs down the shelves (if you know what I mean) they had both iggle piggle and upsy daisy.

In our local store they are with the baby items - bottles etc...

Found some Teeny little families stuff in Chelmsley Wood today. Skate-away fun park for £4.99 and happy home for £1.99, good for stocking fillers. Also Keytweens stuff which has been there for ages. Picked up the large arctic world for £6.99 is £20 on amazon. Though it would be good to stash for friends birthday pressies. My four year old also likes the puppy in my pocket stuff (£3.99 for a pack of 10, £10 in argos) and the sea world version of it. The animal packs of those are £1.99 and the sets with a hut are £2.99.

In the York Clifton Moor shop today we picked up a pack of the above. They turned out to be Chocolate Caramel Shortcake fingers and are absolutely delicious. 7 fingers cost just 39 pence.

I make these myself occasionally but these are (almost!) as good as the home made ones and I probably cannot make them for this price.

Anyone saw the weighted hula hoops in their branches?

Found them!
Two left and I had them both.
Not in the toiletries with vaseline/lip balm
Not with the baby stuff
Not with the Christmas things -
I chanced upon them with the light bulbs and torches!!
Work that one out!

Christmas ribbons and bows -
~ 12 pack 69p (3 reels of ribbon, 6 bows, in 3 colours)
~ 16 pack (marked as 18?!) £1.29 (3 ribbon, 1 wide 'special'(!) ribbon, 2 luxury bows (big floofy ones ), 10 bows)

Nice range of colours too, I got purples for the 12 pack and silver/black/silverypurple for the 16 pack.

Also had gift bags 3pk for 70p or so, big boxes (full tree worth!) of baubles etc £4.99, gift wrapping packs (about 3 sheets of printed paper, gift tags and probably about 10 ribbon/bows!!) in silver/red for 19p!!!! Worth it for the bows alone even if you don't like the kiddie print paper Tonnes of christmas stuff, can't believe the prices card shops charge

Yo gabba gabba figures with vehicles £2.99 each, all except from the front 'Plex' one (see amazon link)

Thomas the Tank Engine Push and Go £4.99 (amazon £13.95)

Cherry Blossom Groceries (market stand) set £2.99 (amazon £9.99)

Also...
Peppa pig christmas DVD £2.99 (marked £5)
Ferrero Rocher box of 16 £2.49 (£3.67 at supermarkets)
Oxo cubes 49p (about a pound usually)
Colgate gel 100ml 79p

None of these super duper deals but things i needed anyway, and all cheaper than they would be elsewhere.

They sell these all year round - except when it is not christmas they do not have the santa design - lol! Connie also makes rocky road fingers which I think are the a bit dearer but they are nice too!
