Light-up mobile phone charms (where to buy on the high st)

Hi,

I need to buy one of those little light-up mobile phone charm things as a last minute birthday present for someone tomorrow.

Can anyone advise as to where I can buy one on the high street? I'm kinda guessing that it's the sort of [strike]tat[/strike] item that one might find in a local market but I'm quite pushed for time.

Any advice much appreciated,

S.

  • My sister got me one for Christmas in Debenhams. Not very good though!
    It only lights up sometimes and not actually paired with my ohone ( just hangs on it) and so lights up when other phones ring.
    I havent seen them lately - think they had them for Christmas- but worth a try.

  • I found a Dr Who one reduced in Boots last week in their store, it was nearly a fiver full price but got it for 1.12. How about Claire's Accessories, they are a bit expensive though. Probably a wee market stall is your best bet.
  • Card warehouse had some Disney ones on the tills.

    Must agree though that they light up when any phone rings; its permanently flashing in the shopping centre!

    The market sell them where I live. The stall sells and unlocks mobiles and sells things like that.

    Hi ya,
    Both my daughter and i have one of these each .....
    We both have the " Mopod " ones ..... We got them when they first came out , about 1 1/2 yrs ago and they are " still going strong " .....
    Other people i know have bought cheaper versions , which have been a total waste of money ....
    Here's a link to show which ones we've got http://www.firebox.com/product/1547/MoPods?src_t=sbk&src_id=mopod
    I've only ever seen this make for sale on the internet , not actually in a shop ...... but perhaps somebody else on here has .....

    Happy hunting !
