Primark for Christmas pressies

I noticed an old thread with this title and thought it would be good if people could post what they've picked up in Primark for Christmas.

I was there briefly last weekend and my friend got a red tablecloth for £5. I am hoping to pop in tomorrow if its not raining so will post anything I see/find.

On my list for tomorrow that I get every year for my teenagers are pj's, underwear, socks, slippers. My daughter wants to get her friend one of the hair turbans, they are really nice.thick and come in purple, turquoise, red or pink for £1.50.

Any other ideas?

    some of the hat/scarf/snood/glove mix & match sets are really nice. good range of colours and the character types which are popular with teens. They have some lovely PJs in too.

    Character tshirts (both male & female) are popular with teens. They have some gilets which have been flying out as well.

    I saw little mini santa hats for bottles, a bit of ribbon and one of them on a wine on offer would be a great gift. 5 in the pack for a pound i think. Hot water bottles with cover for £5 too.
  • I always get my teen daughters seasonal slipper socks & knickers for their stockings, primark always have good christmassy designs.

    This year have bought them accessories hangers too; like a coathanger but with lots of little hooks on for necklaces/belts etc. They were by the checkouts.
  • Got oven gloves with reindeer on them yesterday as my mum's joke present, think it was £3

    My parents always give my sister and me a parcel of "the essentials" - socks, knickers, opaque black tights and a couple of packs of the cleansing wipes.

    Primark is brilliant for those things. The tights are the thickness of leggings and an even-black all over, and the wipes are the best I've tried.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
  • They've got Christmas jumpers and onesies too :)
