Do any of you have teenage girls to buy for ?

Last year I got my DD a bag of toiletries from Wilkinsons.

The range is called Skin Therapy. It's one of those gems that looks and feels a lot more expensive than it is. Nearly everything in range is under a pound. (Their exfoliating facial wipes are wonderful and only 67p).

For under £10 I got her a whole bag of goodies. And they look lovely, all matching, on her dressing table.

ive been and ordered myself a watch from oh, he is more than capable of doing it but the one i wanted is plain with a clear face and a longer strap and its only £4-30 [free p+p] he tends to buy more expensive ones !!:eek: Ive ordered dd a t shirt and Ive reserved the hair styler she wants and its been reduced by £10:D

morning!

Chirpychick the Hotel Chocolat bags look fab!

Nanamia Im glad you are feeling a little brighter know it takes time but we are all here to help x

Did the online Sainsburys shop and got 2400 nectar points, so worked out by December I should have enough for the shop, wine and the stocking chocolates and chocolate advents.

Decided to get Sainsburys gift cards from VO when they are payable rather than Amazon, as all the Christmas books will be on 2 for £7 there when they are out and the Olympics DVD was a good price on their website to pre order. Other than those I think I'm done

big thank you for whoever posted the 20% off M&S on sunday before 10pm! I stocked up on cards in the sales but there was a pack they had in M&S with beautiful wintery village scenes with glitter that is £4, but managed to get those with the very lovely midnight blue glittery sparkly paper and the mega roll of kids wrap for £5 delivered to store

will post a link later to the dark blue village/sparkly wrap, it looks so pretty

Good morning everyone. Just caught up so here goes lol!

ellie9ellie- If you search on the grabbit board there is a really good hotel chocolat offer.

Own My Own-Well done on your multi-quotes, links and smilies! :T

Nanamia-Huge hugs to you. (((hugs))) It will get better but take care of yourself and allow yourself time. xxx Can you buy from australia ebay and get it sent straight to them? (they would have to wrap it but could be an idea or you may even find a seller willing to wrap for you, I know i would if a buyer asked me to) Happy decorating.

chirpychick-The chocolate bags look brilliant! :j

ReformedShopaholic-The pinata looks great! If you're not happy with the nose how about rolling a piece of orange paper/card into a cone shape and sticking it on to make a 3d nose? Ive been watching christmas films for weeks now hehe, I bought Miracle on 34th street (boxset of older one and new one) the other day from Cash converters, I havent seen the older version before but watched it the other day and love it!! :j


Snugglebunny8-Those sets from Boots sound lovely! My Boots had all their sets out yesterday, was rather exciting lol.

xxlouisexx56-Keep an eye on ebay, sometime last year someone was selling fully decorated white trees (and other colours) very cheaply buy it now.

I'm after a fibre optic colour changing tree about 3ft for the top of the stairs, if anyone sees one on offer or knows or a really good one to get, please would you let me know? Mum's from Aldi few years ago is just lovely but never seen one as nice anywhere else!
