Does anybody know where you can get American sweets quite cheap as I want to do my oh a little American sweet hamper

Aldi have lots of American stuff in at the moment...I got my Dad the marshmallow fluff, pretzels, an American lager and an American steak seasoning (in a lovely little tin!) for under a fiver. I also bought the baseball glove and ball (£5.99) 'cos I couldn't resist it

Somebody mentioned about the Simpsons box sets I found this on play don't know if it will help but figured I'll pop it on anyways

Thought I should mention in case it helps anyone on here, just been to Asda and some DVD box sets well reduced.

There was a Dora the Explorer one (not sure if it was 3 or 4 dvds) for £7.50, and I bought Peep Show - Series 1-7 (7 dvds) for £10.

I am gutted that I am the only person I know that's a fan as I really wanted to buy more as its a fab gift for the price.

There was also an x-men box set I fancied for hubby it had sold out and the staff didn't have a clue how much it was when in stock.

Can I join you Crazy Christmas people.

I am a Christmasaholic and I love it all.

I have three children and I try to start picking stuff up once they go back to school after the 6 weeks holidays. I also buy for my Dad and my Nana, my Aunt + Uncle.

Am going to set a budget and stick to it this year. Have been saving my Nectar points for Christmas food.

im sooooo proud of my kids, yesterday i said 'lets have a movie day' they shouted 'CHRISTMAS MOVIE MARATHON!!!!' :T:T:T pmsl! i think i may have rubbed off on them!
DH rolled his eyes and retreated to his shed for the day :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
we watched mickeys once upon a christmas and twice upon a christmas, the santa claus 3, home alone, fred claus and the polar express
theyve picked out the films they want to watch for next weeks 'CHRISTMAS MOVIE MARATHON!!!!' too hahaha


even though i said i couldnt get anything for xmas this month due to birthdays, i couldnt resist popping in disney store (with my 11 £2 off vouchers printed out that morning )
i was quite impressed with the sale heres what i got with the full prices and what i paid after the sale and the vouchers;

DD'S stocking;
tinkerbell notebook £4 - 4p
tinkerbell mini stamper tin £4 - 4p
belle dress staitionary set, £4 - 4p
cinderella dress stationary dress £4 - 4p
sleeping beauty dress stationary dress £4 - 4p

DS1'S stocking;
cars mini pens set £4 - 49p

DS2'S presents (all from the show jungle junction, the weird words are the characters names!);
plastic hippobus with cars £28 - £5
soft zooter on wheels £15 - 19p
soft elevan on wheels £20 - 99p
soft hippobus on wheels £20 - £3
soft bungo on wheels £15 - 19p
soft taxicrab on wheels £15 - 19p

the 4p things was reduced to £1.99 but the till wouldnt accept the vouchers as they was under £2 so i had to buy some of the 5p carriers to take it over the threshold

so i got £137 worth of gifts for a grand total of £10.25 :T:T:T:T

my3girls

can i join too please? I'm a self confessed christmas nut - just not very organized as all you are, read this from start to finish i'm so impressed!

I'm planning on making scrapbooks to give away to grans but other than that i can't even think of what to get people, never mind buying in advance!

carlamarie - how on earth did you get those items so cheap, were the £2 vouchers rewards for something? My daughters jungle junction mad too
