And Ebay. I bought a utensils pot for less than half price on there recently. I went for a second hand one as I wanted a specific colour but there were lots of new ones listed too.
this is probably a bit more on organisation/ decluttering side but suppose it makes for a nicer home! Does anyone have general storage ideas for Childrens craft supplies such as colouring pencils, crayons etc? Preferably something stackable - also all the sheets of paper and a3 drawing pads- any good ways to organise and store this?
I use one of these and I’ve labelled the trays e.g. white paper, coloured paper etc.

KVISSLE white, Letter tray - IKEA
KVISSLE white, Letter tray. You can easily access your papers as the compartments can be pulled out. Cork liner in the bottom keeps your papers in place. Can also be set upright if you would rather store your paper vertically.
Whichever you go for, I recommend this stuff to line them. You cut it to size, it's non stick and super easy to clean. Also good for enabling you to use your tatty old ones for a bit longer!
Magic Reusable Non-Stick Baking Tray Liner
Non-stick 30 x 100cm liner for cake tins, roasting trays and frying pans. Dishwasher safe & heat resistant up to 260°C. 3 year guarantee included.
Sorted out my paper draw in the kitchen with my new paperwork filer. Feels so good. 
Love a good drawer sort outSorted out my paper draw in the kitchen with my new paperwork filer. Feels so good.
These are handy for stationery/craft supplies:
There are folders that can hold the A3 paper or you could place them on top of the drawers
We are hosting Xmas this year so I’ve been making a list of things I need to do/buy - mainly little things I’ve meant to do for ages!
- buy refillable glass bottles for hand soap and fairy liquid in the kitchen (these just look so much neater)
- make sure all photo frames have pics in - I’m guilty of buying frames and never having time to get any developed (even our wedding photos 🫢)
- keep an eye out in TK Maxx for nice cushions and throws to refresh our living room
- make sure we have all our kitchen bakeware and serveware - I’ve just ordered a gorgeous jug from Emma Bridgewater and I’m on the look out for a nice oven glove as ours has seen better days!
- new seat pads for the dining table as our old ones are quite flat and uncomfortable
- make sure we have a full set of drinking glasses - I’ve smashed one or two tumblers recently
any other ideas for hosting prep? It’s my first time

It’s going to be my first time properly hosting this year too but I can guarantee it will end up being my husband doing most of the cooking and my mum doing everything else while I get drunkWe are hosting Xmas this year so I’ve been making a list of things I need to do/buy - mainly little things I’ve meant to do for ages!

I’m also guilty of the photo frame thing.
@Burrito88 if you and your family drink wine or fizz, charms for your glasses are nice at Christmas, my mums always had them I’m still looking for some I like though.

Nice big candles burning on the table (obviously only if this is possible I.e children etc)
The reflection of the glow onto glasses etc looks so pretty
Nice matching knives and forks etc
