It's on Buchanan street, across from greggs used to be au'natural now it's got all sorts of bargains, none of the knit your own scarfs left

Thanks I've been trying to remember the name of that past few weeks, got all my Bargain Tins from there.

Bit of a strange shop I thought but none the less some bargains to be found

Might go back again next week, see if theres anything different

Hi everyone,

Haven't been on here for over 12 months because I've been off having a baby, but I just thought I'd share the gingerbread christmas trees I made last year, just in case it gives someone some inspiration.

I just used a normal gingerbread recipe and I used some star cutters in different sizes. Made two of each size and stacked them with a blob of icing in the middle of each one.

I got them from a cake decorating website, Blue Ribbons I think it was. They were only £1.35 when I bought them a few years ago. Just looked and they're £2.50 now, but I think they're still cheaper than Lakeland.
