Wilkinsons - art and craft sets reduced to £1.00 (merged)

Was in Wilkinsons in Liverpool City Centre today.
They had several different sets for younger children reduced from £2.99 to £1.00.
Ideal stocking fillers or if your kids like to give their friends presents.

There was
  • painting by numbers
  • Box with 2 x photo frames with glitters and stickers to decorate
  • paint stamping sets with about 10 different stamps and paints
  • spiral art set with accessories.
Can't remember the rest.

Also went into Disney shop and bought Mickey Mouse towel half price at £6.00. All the towels were half price and they had all different types ie Buzz Lightyear.

    They also had these sets reduced in Wilkinsons Chelmsley Wood (Birmingham) - originally £4.99 (printed on the box)

    Bought photo frames to decorate, sand pendant set and something similar to spirograph (cogs and wheels to draw with).

  • Thanks OP.

    Went today and got 6 different sets. I had been looking at these for a while but didnt want to pay £2.99 each (or more) for them!

    Brilliant, thanks.

    Thanks very much for that. I went into my local one and bought 12 of the sand sets for £12 instead of £60!

    Incase you're wondering why I bought so many, I organise the kids crafts at my church and you get 5 of these in each set, so that will be just right for my 60 kids!

    Our wilkinson had various craft sets reduced to 1.00 GBP

    These included things like card making, badge making sets, photo frames to decorate and a spiral set (like spirograph).

    BEWARE somethings were in the wrong place in our store - and it wasnt very clear what was reduced. I just took loads of stuff to the till and got the assistant to check and only bought the reduced ones! they are a real bargin at 1.00 fab for stocking fillers for christmas.

    Was in Wilkinsons today and they still have loads of art and crafts sets reduced to £1.00.
    Ideal if your kids insist on buying friends presents or for stocking fillers.

    I know there were some posts a couple of weeks back about some of the kids boxed craft packs being reduced to £1 in Wilkinsons. However after seeing in my local Wilkinson's today that they have piled them high & moved them to the reduced section of the store I thought it may be worth mentioning these again in case anybody has missed out.

    They had the sandart, greetings card, painting by numbers & the roller stamp ones & they are perfect for stocking fillers.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
