We are moving to the UK with our two children in the summer for my husband's job from the US and watching these shopping vids is helping me familiarize myself with UK stores!
We've a pre-decorated tree at present which our dogs keep trying to chew the optics of, but we're thinking of replacing it with a tree that hangs on the wall next year which may be more puppy proof. I've decided I want to thread more simple baubles on a length of ribbon to create garlands to avoid them being knocked off by the dogs snd to make decorating easier, then add the sentimental ones on the exposed areas. I hope they have the polar bear ones next year since they'd be nice to place on the garlands too. I don't get the Stitch obcession eitherm but we did get my dogs stitch doggy onsies from Primark as they look adorable. Unfortunatly they run BIG so they have to wear something else underneth but they looked so cute for the 15 min they stayed on. I would love to get them doggy socks but my pug is too small for all of them and I can't leave her out and just get my cockapoo some. The other jumpers look sweet too so maybe I'll get them one next year... if I can get the sizes. I think we'll be needing some of the really useful boxes since we'll be renovating in the new year and am intending to re do the layout upstairs completly, losing the box room where we normally store the decs, we'll need some new boxes for the garage to store them in and to store all out stuff whilst everything's in flux...watch me buy all the stores in my area out of them. We use the white Wham studio boxes a lot for organising so we'll probably be buying asda out of them when the house is done since George at Asda's website do a pack of 6 of our most used size for £12, which is £3 cheaper than buying 6 individual ones in B&M or similar. They also do ones similar in size to the Ikea Kuggis boxes which is handy for space saving as you can stack a kuggis box with the lid on underneth and a wham box on top on a taller shelf, something we've done in the kitchen a few times. I loved the gingerbread range this year in Asda but we're waiting to get christmas crockery until the house is finished IF we've room in the garage to store them. I'd like a couple of nice christmassy glasses since I don't drink hot drinks very often and thus lose out on the Annsley china christmas mugs we have, but I only really need 1 or 2 and you can never really get affordable individual ones online. I don't if an air fryer would work for your family since there's 5 or 6 of you in the house but since its just my mum and I in ours we use the air fryer more than the oven. I'm autistic and find the oven too overwhelming BUT I can use our air fryer sometimes, so its actually more independence giving for me. I know households of 5 or 6 who use them a lot but since I don't have a large family I don't know about them. One might work in your corner where the fake plants are, but since your kettle and toaster are white a black one (and most seem to be black) might be a bit odd so you might want to find a white one if you did get one. Anybody else find it very hard to find Cadbury Snowballs in the bags this year? I love them but the bars are a bit of a rip off in my view since they lack the shell that makes them so tasty. Out of the bars the christmas trees are certainly nicer. We've not had crackers in our house for about 15 years since our old sprocker (springer/ cocker spainel cross) was PETRIFIED of them and we got out of the habit. We saw my aunt and uncle last weekend for christmas and they popped a couple of really tiny presents inside two crackers to serve as wrapping. We discovered from this that our current dogs don't mind them, but I'm not sure we'll get them as like you said, I think the whole contents ends up in the bin. I would consider reusable ones in future with cloth crowns, but not at the moment. Batteries come in handy even if you've not got kids. One of my aunt and uncle's presents to me was a little milk frother (I don't leave the house much and like to make homemade frappes and such at home, so a milk frother is something I can use for that, also may be handy for when the kitchen is packed up for renovations and I don't have my trusty nutribullet) that took batteries that were not included. I was DESPERATE to try it out the next day and having the batteries was handy for sure.
Hi Rhi what a great video love the clothing and also the ginger bread gravy boat and dishes so dam cute the clothes for the children by the way have a great Christmas and near year x

An air fryer is a game changer! You have to get one 😊
