-Cath Kidston-esque "Vintage tea party"cake stands 99p for 3 tier, 79p for single tier
- Cath Kidston-esque stationery items, "Humble Vintage". 3 pencil tins £1.99, set of 3 mini notebooks 99p.

I have the those notebooks. The covers are very pretty and the paper quality is good but the pages weren't glued together very well and have come apart from the covers a bit. (The're cello wrapped so I couldn't see inside before I bought them)
Can't complain too much for just 99p but I wouldn't buy them for gifts because of this. The many other notebooks I've had from HB have been excellent quality so I was a little disappointed with these ones.0 -
Found a lovely cosmetic bag in Bletchley store today (top shelf above travel/luggage items) - floral cotton outer with wipeable lining inside, by American brand Thirty One. Original label says £17.50 but HB price £1.99 (Not worth £17.50 IMHO but an absolute steal for £1.99). Same as this one:

Would make a lovely gift, especially for hippy/surf chicks!
Also bought a lovely wooden seed pot maker from the Gifted Gardener range - £2.99 - same as this one:

They also had a larger black tote/weekend bag in black for £7.99:
I also got some more 99p Vie at Home stuff - rejuvenating eye treatment and an eye brightening pencil:
