Cut price Xmas bits and bobs - early!

Hi Guys,

I know it seems odd and early but someone out there is probably thinking the same as me.....

I'm looking at buying knock down priced xmas decorations for my house etc (to avoid panic buying later on) - where's the best place to pick them up? Is there a specific online shop that you've had a good experience with? I can't seem to find anything?

Thanks in advance!

    if its a big one may have some decs at 75% off. Check they are not broken before purchase though - got caught out yesterday. Most are ok.

    It's not online, but if you live near a Paperchase then they really do reduce their Christmas stuff about now. My local one didn't have loads left, but their £6.00 a box cards are now selling for £1.50, and there are some lovely cards. There were cheap decorations and paper too.
  • Not online but try popping into Homebase, most of their decs are 29p each reduced from £1.99.
  • Both my local tescos have decorations left :]

    Try your local Wilkinsons, if you have one. They are selling all their Christmas stuff for half price at the moment. I got some great outdoor flashing lights really cheaply.:T

    Its never too early. So far I've had 3 lots of lights, a Star tree topper and a large Wreath from Argos. I had several bits from Lakeland plastics delivered. Yesterday I picked up decorations in Sainsburys reduced from £3.99 to about 70p. I've also had cards from Sainsburys £2.99 now 79p, Boots &WH Smith.
