Do you wanna see my Baubles? Its not everyday someone asks you that lol
Well it`s the start of October and already i have a vast selection of Christmas ornaments and Baubles from across the place. With Christmas coming earlier and earlier each year even before Halloween is out i got some early xmasy stuff. One side of an aisle in Poundland is Halloween the other Christmas, which side do i look first? being a fan of both.
It all started when Primark announced the launch of their Xmas hanging decorations and the great Primark Christmas Ornament Hunt began. I so far have 6 out of 9 sets.
- Mickey/Minnie
- Ariel/ Flounder
- Belle/Cinderella
- Bambi/ Thumper
- Cogsworth/ Lumiere
- Mrs Potts/Chip
- Pooh/ Eeyore
- Harry potter/Hedwig
- Hagrid/Hogwarts Express
They are all good quality for the price and a good weight to them also. My only issue is with Cinderella, her eyes are not very good bit fixed and plain, whereas Belle has more defined eyes. THE SEARCH CONTINUES
Now onto the rest of the Highstreet
Some are only just putting things out so may take some time to see the full range.
Poundland have stepped up their game with individual hanging Christmas ornaments
The range is just starting to come out, got these 2 resin like Santa and Mailbox which are great and would make excellent Cake toppers on a Christmas Cake. Excited for the rest of the range as i have seen pixs around of others to come.
I saw a post of this Kitchen Mixer in a Tkmaxx group and knew i needed to find it, being a Baker and having always wanted a Pink Kitchen aid. My chance to have both an ornament and a mini mixer lol. Tkmaxx are one to watch for the more unusual designs as they are coming from the states. Last year i got Burger so will watch out for more food related ones. There was a Blueberry Pie i think i didn’t get it an regretted it last year.
Home Bargains are starting to put out their Christmas stuff alongside the Halloween.
I always get several Christmas decorations, Ornaments, Tins and bits from there each year without fail. These Candycanes with bows are glittery and also seem very traditional. My theme with my new 8ft tree is Victorian Christmas so very Candycane traditional Charles dickens like, with an American happy holidays influence.
I dont really shop often in Matalan only at Christmas it seems.
Had a look through their Christmas section online and spotted some sleigh stands and some Baubles including a Unicorn Head, Rainbow and Cinderella style carriage (Very Glittery Indeed).
They were out of the Unicorn Head so got that to get still.
It is still early for a lot of retailers to start with the Christmas decorations when some do not even have the Halloween stuff out yet ( shameful on the Halloween side)
so watch this space as the time goes by, also going to the States this year i potentially could come back with a suitcase full hahaha among other things.
Paperchase is another one to check out for the Glass style novelty hanging decorations, i have spotted a few already albeit a tad more expensive each than the rest.
Look back at some of last years finds and Beyond.
Tkmaxx, Poundland
