I didn't find any boxes :sad: They only had clothes and shoes in the store, no bits & bobs at all

I'm really sorry you had a wasted journey, I'm surprised as my local is not a very large store and they have quite a few bits.

No worries, had a scout around a few other shops while I was there and had a nice afternoon

In H&B I saw some other great offers. They had (two sided) photo snowdomes for 99p - so got a few for parents, MIL and OH. I like the idea of calendars but still pondering whether at £3.99 each they would be sufficiently appreciated. I don't have a papermill near me so would have to buy on line unless I went past one nearer the time... My MIL would love it, my M&D can be a bit funny over things like that... OH? Not sure? I think the snow dome idea tho is less intrusive and would be more appreciated... (;) and is a quarter of the price - didn't weigh with me at all that:rotfl: )

Anyway - happy bargain hunting!

I know what you mean about Papermill postage, it's a lot on top of the items isn't it. I don't have a shop near me either but went to visit my brother a couple of weekends ago and we drove past Swindon where there is a shop so asked the OH nicely if we could stop

I love the photo snowglobe idea. I bought a couple a few years ago for the grandparents and they went down really well. Got mine from Lakeland and they were about £5 each :eek: - 99p is a real bargain

The website doesn't seem to have any of the little bits and bobs my local has, it's a real shame, however they do have several things on the site that are not in my local

I think that makes sense!

It might be worth ringing a store to see if they stock the storage boxes etc before anyone travels too far as the other stuff they sell is not great.

Thanks Shakespear - I'll check to see if theres a store anywhere near my Mums...........might be lucky you never know.

Yes the suitcase ones are soooo sweet, just like a small suitcase with 2 silver clasps and a little handle, I got a set of 3 pink ones with white dots on for my step dd, she loves them.

The watering can sound cute I've not seen that!
