I need a small fake tree for my office as husband stole mine. Where did people go for theirs, Argos?

Same! I don’t even bother putting the light at the back I just weave them around the front and sides
Got one for my son’s room from B&Q- only £12!
Sainsbury's & Argos have this little wooden nativity set on sale for £7.50 (down from £10)
I look after my nephew a lot after school, so I'm going pick one up for him to colour/decorate and he can gift it to my brother & sister in law for Christmas
Poundland! 4ft for £2 and not exactly premium, but with a garland and large baubles it looks like any standard tree

Thank you everyone for the answers on etiquette, it’s my first year with a tree as an adult and I didn’t see the point in decorating the bits you can’t see but husband was horrified, I haven’t got a huge stash of baubles yet, just a standard pack of gold and white for now, thinking we can add to it over the years, kids still young and doesn’t know the difference!
Oh this is cute!
I really want a nice nativity set, my parents have a beautiful white china one that they bought in Germany (we lived there when I was a baby) that I love so much. I've just never seen one I like enough. I kinda want something classic though, rather than cartoony.
Can't ask this on Facebook as my daugther will see it but has anyone had any issues with smiggles delivery? Ordered an advent calendar almost 2 weeks ago and nothing.
Even the email help desk is useless!

I know some of us were talking about Christmas gifts/stockings for cats in the last thread, so this is semi-relevant lol
I ended up caving and got one of the Squishmallow pet beds for my cat for Christmas (but knowing me, ill end up giving it to her in a couple ofdays hours 
) I ordered the small one which has just been delivered. I've measured it and it's around 48cm wide & 16cm tall...
...please tell me why amazon decided to send this item (the only thing I ordered) in a box that is 56cm tall and 77.5cm wide! It's the biggest box I've ever seen from them!
Needless to say, the cat is so thrilled with this mansion of a box, that I've managed to hide the pet bed without her noticing

I ordered a set of 12 baubles from m&s , the actual container with them in was only the size of a shoebox but they'd packed them in a box this size
Update, they are sending me a replacement as they think it's lost. This happened last year and I ended up with a double order. When will I learn not to order from that site
Yes, I won't shop with smiggle anymore due to a delivery issue I had. I ordered a backpack for my daughter, received the confirmation email, it was never sent out. I went on twitter and they told me it had been cancelled and I'd receive a refund. I received a partial refund, they didn't refund the postage, rang them up and had to demand my postage back as they were arguing with me that I'd received a full refund. This all took nearly 3 weeks, so now I won't buy anything from smiggle.
There customer service is shocking.
I've bought a few smiggle things through Next online and had no problems. I imagine they retail at the same price.
Edit they did before the sale, shame the sale items are a good price !

Maybe the Amazon warehouse person knew it was for a cat and gave you two presents for the price of one - a bed and a huge cardboard box! Best Christmas ever
I'm hoping the squishmallow pet beds will convince my daughter that we need a dog.Aww I’m so excited that you got the squishmallow bed! Which one did you buy in the end?

I got the frog one! When I bought it, I checked both Amazon and Pets at Home & they were both the same price... I checked the Pets website a little while ago for something else and... the Squishmallow beds are 25% off

I'm surprised it's not the other way around!
Usually it's the kids begging the parent

Ha, I know, my 4 year old is desperate for a dog, but my eldest has decided that she's suddenly scared of dogs, she wasn't a couple if years ago and nothing has happened to make her scared of them. Her Christmas list is full of squishmallows and squishmallow accessories, so I thought the pet bed would convince herI hope you're right about the Amazon person giving us the box on purpose!

Oh that's such a shame that she's developed a fear of dogs - hopefully she does overcome it soon!Ha, I know, my 4 year old is desperate for a dog, but my eldest has decided that she's suddenly scared of dogs, she wasn't a couple if years ago and nothing has happened to make her scared of them.

The pet beds are currently 25% off at Pets at Home if you were in the market for one
