    Its a fair price (approx. £11.50 with Paypal exchange rates), but it's still way, way beyond the usual Chinese prices :)

    You see, I can buy one from an established UK print shop , who have done the most brilliant print jobs for me on hoodies (so I can vouch for the quality I will receive), delivered for £12.95.

    For the £1.45 difference I would keep my custom in this country, be able to sort out any problems a lot sooner/easier/without language barriers/still with paypal protection, and receive my bag weeks sooner :D

    So, worth looking closely at prices before buying.

    I would agree. I only ever buy their items when on offer as I dont like the shipping costs. The quality on most items is OK. When buying anything fabric the detail is lost on the pictures, so bear that in mind. Photo books, playing cards and dogtags are all great.

    I am waiting for a deal on Christmas ornaments as they usually have them with free postage at this time of year and they work out really cheap at under £1 per ornament usually including postage.

    They're here :), FB code up today.

    £7-ish (paypal exchange rates dependant) for three double sided ceramic ornaments. Will that be as cheap as they get? £2.30 seems decent enough to me, I love the idea!

    Or about £1.70 for a single sided ornament (£5 for three).

    What a beautiful idea. I have a friend who has lost her husband and had not thought of doing this for her. Xxxxxx

    It is also good for family who can't be with each other at Christmas I have a friend who works over his and his family are in Cuba he normally goes but this year he can't for reasons beyond his control so I made one for him of his two children for him here and I made one for him to send to Cuba of him with Feliz Navidad on it

    Thanks for the info on the ornaments, I've also been waiting for it :)

    Every year I order individual ones of the children and its fun to look back over the year, when decorating the tree, to see how much they have grown.

    I'm a true bargain hunter as I'm not happy the price has gone up this year, you now have to buy 3 and they work out at £1.27 each with free shipping:rotfl:
