❄❄ Let It Snow ❄❄ :: Christmas 2012 Chatter Thread

I am wanting to buy a photo print jigsaw (you know, the ones where they make a jigsaw from your own photo).

Has anyone any idea of the cheapest place to get this done? It is for my 10 year old son, so would like appprox 100 pieces. (I am finding he is the most awkward one to buy for, there are lots of things he likes but they are all very expensive!)

Can't stop long but just wanted to tell you all that the poundland shop is stocking D-I-Y christmas cracker packs of 6 for £1 - fantastic.

Also - don't know if this is everywhere or just the one in Derby - the yankee candle shop has some of its range at 25% off - may be an idea for a present!

Ooooohhhhhh - £6.31 cashback, £10 off and a free gift at hotel chocolat (chocolate tasting club offer)- bargain alert!!

Morning everyone,
up very late today after 10am:eek: but didn't sleep until well after 2am, rubbish body. Who knew a bit of hoovering and mopping would cause so much pain(well I did but I still haven't got the hang of pacing myself )

anyhow.....

sugarspun-sorry for your loss xx
omo-I'm going to go for 860 I think, unless someone has that already? Like the link for those snowglobe candle holders. Would love to do them but don't think I'd trust myself putting them away without smashing them.
tab1967-he looks adorable, hope you are feeling better and have been for a cuddle.
LalaGomay-I noticed this about the Poundland website, also noticed that half the stuff on there is not available when I go in, though considering I only get to go pretty much once a month it could just be sold out :rotfl:

i love this thread, i always leave with loads more ideas and even more excitement for the big day, i am such a big kid when it comes to Christmas. I want to start buying more right now but 1. ive no room until the spare room has been redecorated (looks like a bomb has gone off in there at the mo) 2. i'm still waiting on my post office card to activate on Nov 1st and 3. i'm having a baby tomorrow and i think bubs will dictate how much time i can spend shopping..........:D

Morning fellow elf and elfettes

Have had a bit of a splurge over the last few days, ordered quite a bit from Toys R Us over the weekend, whilst they had 20% off toys. Last night trawled Amazon for some extra little pressies for DD1, as all she has asked for is a Lego set and some Reindeer Clothes (I might add she doesn't want clothes to put on a reindeer, wants clothes with reindeers on for herself).

Got some great little surprises, Club Penguin Comic Maker, Rainbow Magic Jigsaws, and for my little DD2 some Moshi Monster hair accessories and a great Moshi Monster Jigsaw with extra stickers to create stories once the Jigsaw has been done. Also got my mum a lovely Xmas Jigsaw. Got Pumpaloons which DD2 has been hankering after all year for 7.50, normally about 15-20 quid.

Picked up the Snowman and Xmas tree shaped marshmallows in Tesco, someone mentioned them earlier in the thread, and will use these in the Snowman Soup.

Got my self a Yankee Candle - Warm Spice, but doesn't seem to be very strong, can hardly smell anything - maybe my nose is packing up!

picnmix- where abouts did you find the snowman marshmallows? Were they in seasonal aisle or a normal aisle? I have bought normal ones as I couldn't find these anywhere but everyone keeps mentioning them so I really want some

They were in the seasonal aisle, I found them with the bags of coins, lollies, lindt bears etc. They are called Christmas Mini Mallows 90g for 50p. Hope this helps.
