Tomar Report post Posted January 18, 2016 I gave purses to all the ladies & wallets to all the men. The man in the shop gave me discount for bulk buying which i spent on mulled wine at the xmas market. Xmas shopping completed in 15 mins. Was this really despicable?

Aeolienne Report post Posted January 22, 2016 I was quite chuffed that I managed to do all my Christmas shopping without using Amazon or any chain stores. If anyone's interested, this is what I used (in addition to the National Railway Museum, already mentioned): Gift shop at the Wales Millennium Centre (dragon) Tusch und Egon (Cabin Porn and ear-rings) Decorum (cushion and candle) The Brokedown Palace (socks) The Sampler (sherry) Les Aldrich Music (diary) Hive via Joseph's Bookstore (This Little Puffin and Run the Jewels 2) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
