Seeing as we're getting closer and closer to Christmas, people are bound to be starting Christmas shopping soon. I thought we could share some bargin pressies that we got, and where we got it from, and how much it cost so that we can all share in the bargin-ness :lol:

(NOTE: Its not intended for this to be a freebies, or a christmas countdown thread, but if the modies want to close this thread, then feel free :D )

BARGAIN! went straight there on tuesday and bought it for him!

I got some gifts from Wilkinsons the other day. It was like 4 tubes of different bath goodys. I think it has bath salts in one, bath confetti, bubble bath and something else, all for a quid! I brought some for these people i dont really like, as it looks like i've spent tons more :D

I find instore great for dinner plates and stuff. Those of you with kids will know what i mean. You can buy the odd plate or the odd dish thats been dropped without having to replace the whole set if you get them from there. I'm tired of buying an 8 place setting dinner service and ending up with 3 bowls, 4 side plates and 5 dinner plates because my son has a bad case of dropsie!!

They have some nice little gift things in ASDA. Quite reasonable as well.
