    Anyone spotted any battery-operated Christmas lights around? I had an idea or two for some decorating but don't have sockets where I want them.

    The only ones I've seen so far were a little pack of ten lights for €9.99 in Malahide Garden Centre. Bit steep for such a small set I thought!

    I think I saw them in Dunnes and M and S.

    Just be careful tho, they EAT batteries.

    Thanks!

    Yeah it's just for a few nights for parties. Don't plan on keeping them on all Christmas!

    I'm thinking of getting one of these in Woodies.
    Has anyone ever had a battery operated garland/wreath? I'm wondering what kind of batteries they take and how hard on batteries they are.

    Usually 2-3 AAA batteries.

    I got cute coloured star ones in Homestore & M*re last Christmas. They were all half price in December, paid €1.99. I can't remember if they were sets of 10 or 20, but as others said, they absolutely eat batteries.

    They have some in M&S. I picked up these ones because I was buying 2 stockings and it's 3 for 2.

    Bit expensive but there was nothing else there that I wanted and they were free and they're lovely! I wouldn't pay full price for them.
