Can't wait to put it up and decorated it! I went to buy more lights for it and the girl at the till goes these lights are going on sale in a few weeks do you want to wait, they'll be half price. I was like yes I can wait.

Brought the Pandoros and Panatones in Lidl. They are made by one of the best Italian companies for them(Bauil).

For anyone with little ones who like Doc, I picked up 2 of these in tkmaxx today, kids get a teddy, I get cute christmas snowmen

Edit: it's about 25 inches so excellent as a standing decoration, if it was left standing!

I ordered my bedspread from ebay. I think it will look really nice with some colourful Christmas cushions and maybe a Santa teddy or two. `Here it is again.

Thanks. What I love about it is that it's even bigger than my normal kingsized bedspreads so I know it will give great coverage of the bed. If it's really cold I can even put it over a normal bedspread for extra warmth and it's big enough that no normal bedding will peep out.:D

Today I ordered my Christmas train. I wanted one smaller than the ones in Homestore as the sideboard I want to put it on is too narrow for a regular sized train. And this one is even more Christmassy.

I have the same one! Picked it up in woodies at the weekend, really wanted to assemble it straight away but restrained myself

Ooh yay! That means it's nice in real life so, if you bought it. I was worried it might be a bit tacky but to be 100% honest I do love a bit of tack at Christmas.:D

It's perfect for the kids, the little santa and snowman come out, I can see them getting played with. The track is quite short so i'm hoping it'll go around my tree, but it's tack-tastic!

I'm hoping to have mine drive around my Little People Christmas village but I keep overestimating how big the sideboard I want to put them on is. Every time I actually look at it I know I'll never fit everything on it, but I'm sure I'll work something out.

I also ordered this today. It's a flash drive that I'm going to put a Christmas movie on and put in his Christmas eve box. We haven't used a dvd player in yonks so this is a good way to give him a Christmas 'dvd' on the night.

I need to stop going, I'm picking something up every week and when I put these in the attic this morning I realised I have no space!!! Where will I hide them now ☺ Also my 20 month old keeps shouting "kismas" every time we pass the displays, no idea where she gets this from

Hey guys, loving the thread. The positive vibe is infectious.
Must head out to lidl to see what they have.

I've been lurking here for a while but haven't posted anything I've bought this year. I will don't worry when stuff from m&s arrives (cushions, garland and ornaments)

It's nice to see like minded people share the Christmas spirit
The older I get the more I enjoy Christmas, it's like being a kid again

Anyway pics to follow
Keep the ideas coming
Cheers

I've a fair chunk of my shopping done but I'm stuck for ideas for the same person I get stuck on every year. I usually just cop out and take the easy perfume/makeup option but I don't think the person is particular is into that sort of stuff. Ugh! The only thing I'm sure she likes is shoes. Is it ok to give shoes as an xmas pressie? I wouldn't mind getting a pair myself

I think if someone is into a particular thing then definitely get them that! You sound like a very nice gift giver

My cushions arrived from M&S! They're so lovely and soft

Decided to get a Christmas jumper so picked up a white one with penguins in Penneys. Also picked up some more of their musical soft decorations for the tree, anything to keep my actual decorations safe from the cat and kids

Edit: oh, and christmas tights!!! Will head back to penneys at the weekend without the kids to do some proper shopping

Toto Wolfcastle

I had a few euro left on a Dunnes giftcard so I bought a couple of decorations. This one and a silver one.

So Santa drop the kids Lego at work for me and still unsure if I will keep this for myself or give it as a surprise!!

Toto Wolfcastle

I love that train!

Bought a box of biscuits for the neighbours today. Tesco had the Cadbury biscuit tin for €6.25 so we picked one up. It's my first time ever buying a tin of biscuits! No idea if €6.25 is any good or not but Tesco made it seem like it was!

Got this in tk maxx today

Went to homestore, my husband came too so I had to restrain myself. Picked up the santa hat chair covers, some window decorations and unexpectedly a new rug!
