I'm asking for the Nigellisima book, and some socks!! My PILs will likely give me money, they are lovely like that. They are also good at choosing lovely long cardigans.

Ooh and I'd love The Game of Thrones blu ray

Game of Thrones is a amazing...cant wait for the next season

I normally Ask for money, but asked OH for a watch this year, found a lovely one in next as said shall i add it to my order, but he said he wants to choose one...knowing him it will be above the budget I have set for us both, not that i'm complaining, but I always stick to mine quite rigidly and he doesn't, but normally the gifts I buy him are not full price so he probably gets the same monetary value.. does anybody else's OH do this too?

On year I suggested we did a secret santa with my cousins and partners, there would have been six of us, and he spent way over the £5 limit I sent and ended up buying something for everyone anyway!!

Well I've indulged my love of sparkly Christmas things this afternoon :snow_laug
After posting that my local Range didn't have any christmas stuff yet I saw everyone else posting about thiers being upstairs this year - so I popped in again after work and guess what - Christmas stocks being put out upstairs they were literally just building the displays etc so I know I didn't miss it last time! Bought myself a silver sparkly star tree topper (as I've never really seen one I like or would fit properly) and saw some gorgeous cadbury purple tinsel that I am trying to convince myself wouldn't go with my tree (lilac, blue and silver).. I have a horrid feeling I will give in ha ha purple is my all time favourite colour, especially the cadbury purple

So for those who have the Range Southampton as their closest do not despair!!

please could I ask a little favour of those who have bought the Primark Reindeer fleece throw? Hubby going in tomorrow and I will show him the photo kindly posted in this thread, but can I ask what it describes it as on the label please? he wouldn't know what a throw was if it bit him and the guy on the phone when I rang was talking about 2 different ones, a £3 one and a £5 one, is it fairly easy to spot?

Ive told him it's a 'Reindeer Fleece Throw - £5', if he can't find it and asks at the till, will they know what that description means or is it called something else? many thanks! :D

I might be wrong but I think there were two diff sizes? The £3 one might have had a ribbon round it and the £5 one a cardboard sleeve. I'm hoping to get one this weekend.

thank you!! :beer: are they both roughly the same then but probably different sizes? if so it doesnt matter too much then if he gets the wrong one or only £3 one is in stock, if he got the wrong one I wouldnt say anything anyway as it's so lovely of him to go!

Ooh all this talk of yankee candles has me spending the last hour or so searching online for some new ones so I've ordered Christmas Eve, Christmas Cupcake and Sparkling Snow. I love getting the jars as I can remember the names, when I take the wrapping off the votives I always forget which ones they were.
I'm jealous of all the Primani bargains,lusting after the fluffy throws. Nearest shop is exactly 100 miles but hopefully I will get a shopping trip in November.
Today I've bulk bought some citric acid and bicarb to make the baths bombs I'm giving as gifts and I checked on my dried sweetpea flowers and they are looking great and have kept their colours really well so they will look nice in the bombs. The only thing I need to find is powdered food colour now.
The only other thing I have to report is in my local coop they have tubes of sweets for a quid, they have love heart ones which I'd never seen before.
I took advantage of the Organic Surge promotion over on the grabbit board and managed to get £40 of stuff for £20. I started using some of these products a while ago and they are gorgeous esp the sugared almond shower gel and the spiced lily bath oil.
One thing I'm on the look out for is a festive/winter door mat, one the hairy ones, never ever managed to find one of those so this year it's a mission.
