So one thing I decided to do for DD's Christmas is get an LOL storage box and put a bunch of second hand LOLs in it. Last year she got 5 for her birthday and no duplicates but I don't think I can get that lucky again but also it saves money and plastic waste on all the wrappings. So far I have gotten her Waves, Witchay Babay, Instagold, Dawn, Babe in the Woods and SFP QT for £44 and one only has the doll opened so I think that's a decent bargain compared to buying the same all new.

That's a good idea with the Lol storage box

Oh my word that Ferrero and rum pineapple thing sounds right up my street! I want it

 

[ClairAye]

I'm happy with the LOL idea! She also knows what ones she really wants so it's much easier!

I seriously love the pineapple idea! Here is a picture (not mine!) if anyone else wants to give it a go!

That's so cool! Alcohol and chocolate, PLUS I'm craving pineapple, what more could I ask for lol

 

[Bevziibubble]

That's a lovely idea with the pineapple

I don't drink and I don't think you could get the right shape with a Pepsi Max bottle.

Yes! I meant the Pepsi as a joke haha but it's a great idea! I'll definitely use it if I can think of someone who doesn't drink...... Not likely haha!

DD's kitchen finally arrived yesterday, I ordered it 17th September! Thankfully it wasn't needed sooner. I'm thinking of building it early and giving it a slight make-over. It's her 6th birthday and she is already super tall so with both those in mind I think this will be her last kitchen and I want to make it really nice! I'm not keen on the 'wall' tiles so might see if I can find those Poundland sticky glitter squares everyone was raving about last year. I think I will do a few other things, it wasn't my choice by design but because it was the tallest one.

Yay, glad the kitchen arrived
