Pink/blue baubles for DD2 (she wants Stitch/Angel theme for her tree this year)
 
Dd1 is performing in her dance school's Nutty Nutcracker performance in a couple of weeks and instead of flowers (which she doesn't even really like) I bought her this as a gift after the show.

We have some of those books from when DS1 was little and still enjoy reading them with DS5.

I just ordered a box of 70 packs of adrenalyn premier league cards, Rio pesters for these all of the time. They were £55 for the box and are usually £1 a pack so a £15 saving.

I'm just trying to convince myself that it is good value because I initially looked after not being able to justify £30 for the advent calendar with only 22 packs so was going to make my own advent calendar by buying the packs separately to SAVE money. Then ended up spending £25 more than the initial £30 I was complaining about :haha:
 
I've filled my basket waiting for pay day :haha: making me nervous how much there is still to buy and how close we are.

I feel the same! I want to get sorted now but at the same time want to wait til after Black Friday in case I overpay. But next week seems so much closer to Christmas it stresses me out lol.
 
I know! We are halfway through November now. I normally like to be finished by the end of November and I think I'm still going to be shopping with my December pay :dohh:

Fidget toy advent calendar for Niko - almost purchased one from Amazon at £20 yesterday but glad I didn't as this one was £9.99. Full of total tat but he will love it.
