Haven't seen any giftsets but did see some individual B&H items in a charity shop today.
Perhaps a bit early for giftsets - will keep an eye out in the new year when people are decluttering :cool:

I've spotted a few B&H individual items but no gift sets as yet. Maybe the retailers have realised that this stuff is rubbish and less of them are stocking it - we can but hope.


Yesterday saw me making a few purchases. One local hospice had a 3 for 2 on everything. I got a BNWT M&S exercise top, bright coral colour with a drawstring cowl neck, £29.50 on the tag, marked down to £14, charity shop price £5, a M&S grey oversized jumper in a boxy shape, deep v neck and slightly flared sleeves with a tie at the wrist, cotton and wool blend £4 looks unworn too and lastly a Peter Storm t shirt for DH, royal blue with a vintage postcard print to the front, again this looks unworn £3.50 but free on the 3 for 2 so essentially £3 per item.


DD got a pair of Urban Outfitters jeans for £3.99 which retail for £55.

Guess what? I got a B and H gift set, it’s very nice but I’m a simple soul who just likes easy things around the bathroom like bars of soap. It will get moved on though to a charity that gives presents to old people at parties the charity organises. Please don’t think I’m ungrateful folks I’m an Oldie myself, just think I will find it a much better home than the back of my wardrobe.

Blackburn today had 4 full size dinner plates Denby Memories, thought to be £20, manageress said no, £5 the lot - now home with me!

Some B&H sighted but more posters saying 'stock needed' - bring out the not-quite-right presents to a chance for a new more welcoming home?!

Yesterday I got a BNIB pair of slipper socks for £1, these will be stashed for DD for Christmas 2020, I also got a pack of BN Coca Cola socks for DS also £1.


I didn't look very closely at everything else but one thing that does occur to me when I go in charity shops is just how many tops do women buy, every shop is crammed full of them?


I went in the Mind shop and can never understand their pricing policy, they charge very high prices but they make no sense, a lady was helping her mother try on a Tog24 parka which was priced at £10, it was very nice and would have been over £100 new, I was watching them and in my hand was a pair of mens Next jeans for £6.99 which retail at £25-£30 new.

Awed! If I do find something 'right', by the time Christmas has come I'll have lost it. That year with the Fat Accomplice spoiled me rotten as he could find things. He's away learning to be an engineer now & has lost patience with my "where's X? It was there a fortnight ago..."

May explain why my husband finds things & immediately gives them to the right person - saves all the fuss hunting later!

I noticed quite a bit of B and H in local hospice shop. Obviously ignored it but did buy a pair of Firetrap black lace up boots for £3. I had previously eyed them up at £6 so double bargain.
Gap jeans £5
A BN in packaging white leather phone case £5
A white Abercrombie and Fitch canvas tote bag £5
A blue Topshop sailor top £6 probably a bit overpriced but I loved it.
Addidas black with pink stripes training tights. Look BN £3
Tu blue needle cord shirt dress with stars £2
Hardback copy of Dirt music by Tim Winton an Aussie writer I love £1.50
