Art haul from The Range - did I waste my money or get bargains??

The Range is a UK-based retailer selling products in the home, garden, and leisure categories, with over 210 big stores in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It started out aiming to be the poor man's John Lewis, according to its founder. It's the sort of shop where you find utter bargains and also gasp out loud and wonder who in the world would ever buy a particular object. Their picture frame department is excellent if you ever need to frame something and their art and craft section has all sorts of varying quality. So join me as I go through all the different things I got on a recent visit to the Reading store. I'll test them out to give you my initial reaction and find out whether they are hits or misses.
If you don't have one near you, they do deliver and they do a click and collect system too. I have only used that once and it was not a great experience! But that's another story...
I got fabric medium, gesso (white and black), dual tip brush pens, varnishes (matt, satin and gloss), stamps, stickers, tissue paper, modelling paste and bits and bobs for mixed media work. Only one appears to be a dud, but you will have to watch to find out which!
