    Just typed up a long list and the 'puter ate it! Short version:
    -Possibility in Peppermint Icecream shampoo/shower 89p + Amber & Lavender hand cream 69p
    - real New Berry Fruits £1.99
    -The Gifted Gardener: I got a twine tin for 99p (labelled £6)but some nice items like a flowery kneeler for £2.99 (I think)
    -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.

    All at HB, Swansea Enterprise branch.

    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.

    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:

    Looking for cadbury crispello in HB today i discovered that the bags for £1.49 have 13 sweets in them but there are packs of 3 sweets for 29p each or 4 for a £1 making it better value :-)

    Hi, If you have a farmfoods near you, they sell the crispello bars with 3 pieces, 5 for a £1 :)
