    Thanks Yellowlally managed to pick up some of the globe crackle light's this afternoon in the Dundee Stack store they were with the Christmas stuff. Just what I was after to put on top of a bookshelf we just got for info it's battery powered so needs 3 AA batteries.

    I popped in past the Stack store this morning, they'd different ones ( Red ) to the Wellgate store which were silver, worth checking back for different colours :)

    I wandered into HB today and found this item (glass painting set) for £5. It has an RRP of £19.99, and cheapest I can see online is £12.99 plus delivery. It was on the top shelf and is one of their Star Buys this week. Looks like a good quality gift. HTH.

    I love this store. You get some great bargains but each store seems to have different stock.

    Picked some plastic popcorn holder's for 69p each in store they do have them online but it's for a case full posted a link so you get an idea what to look for. http://www.homebargains.co.uk/products/9578-retro-plastic-popcorn-holders-case-of-48.aspx I might put them away & do the family a Xmas eve hamper with popcorn & a dvd-- sounds like a plan.
    Booo!!!
  • Lumiere magnetic nails - two pack for 99p:

    lumiere-magnetic-nails-300x300.jpg

    There's a magnet in the top that you hold very close to the freshly-painted nail while still wet. It creates a wavy line effect in the polish.

    I tried it, it's not as marked an effect as the illustration but still gives you a snazzy finish.

    Similar polishes are £3 - £9 on amazon (each!)
