Maddy I want to go shopping with you - you find the best stuff 

Moptop

I do love to shop, and I guarantee you will be exhausted when finished

that cake pop dessert looks so yummy

Doesn't it!  probably won't make it for Christmas, but on the to do list.

I feel sorry for your ss maddy.. Were you in on that lol!!

I am....and my present has already arrived, but I'm showing tremendous willpower and will wait before opening 
I really am very easy to buy for, believe it or not....I love lots of things! 

[Frozzie]

Do you often get presents you already have

[maddy]

Actually I don't   
I really really love looking for vintage items, or scour the op shops, eBay & etsy......so many hidden gems.
I have no problems with pre-loved goods 

[Frozzie]

That widens the pool then 😁

Loving vintage and pre loved items certainly would avoid having two of the same item i guess... I have enough trouble finding presents for dh.. Impossible..he never wants anything as i usually have a list a mile long hahaha

[Frozzie]

Etsy??? Think you mentioned that before hrrrm will i or wont i lol

I haven't done any shopping but DW has managed to make dent in our Christmas shopping. She bought an Apple TV for DD2 to go with LED TV that we bought last week so she could take it home with her. She also bought an outdoor setting and a BBQ for DD1 for her new house.

Just a few little things to go.

I bought my nieces their Christmas presents today - a beautiful gift box from Lush each.  I had to ask a few of the 12 yo girls in the shop (there were a lot!) which was the best one so I'm pretty confident my nieces will be happy.  I'm just happy to have started the Xmas shopping

I have also bought a few icing tools from POK, Victorias Basement and Plenty which I've used to some decorated cookies for Mr 3's birthday.

I've done a bit of online shopping at Innovations, of all things! I bought the Christmas Ornament Storage Box and Wrapping Paper holder etc.
Also, got eldest DS a Plectrum cutter. You can cut plectrums (the thing you strum a guitar with) from old credit cards.

Also, bought a little induction cooker for my workshop. I can heat up the oils for my soap on it instead of having to bring the stockpot over to the house.

I love the idea of the tortilla press. But, I really have enough gadgets!

[Frozzie]

I like the tortilla press too but no room here so will have to wait until we are in our own place..

Bought some fondant cutters friday and last night got a full length mirror in whie with jewellery storge... Mum has one and it looks good and has heaps of storage which i need..

Girls and DD,  you all buy such fab stuff.  Yesterday I popped into a kitchenware shop to ask a question and came out with a pastry bird, a small star cutter and another bread tin.  Maddy I would also love to come shopping with you ,  but know I wouldn't be able to keep up. 

[achookwoman]

New bread tin.

[maddy]

  Maddy I would also love to come shopping with you ,  but know I wouldn't be able to keep up. 

   We'll pop you in a shopping trolley Chookie,  and I'll push you around 
I can almost smell your bread..Yummy!
I think any kitchenware is dangerous territory 

Kim, that jewellery stand is wonderful.  DD's friend has one, it's so practical.

[Frozzie]

I had a carry jewellery box with different compartments but this is so much better.. Can't wait to get it

[maddy]

Your gonna need a big house Kim 
Hubby here yet?

[Frozzie]

Yes hubby has been here for à week and à day!! )

Thats ok i survives in Europe where houses are tiny in comparison.. Houses in oz have much more storage and are much bigger so think ill be fine for the first few months anyway lol!
