Valentines day at Asda

So, in a last minute bid to get a couple of bits for valentines day, I decided to have a browse in Asda while I did my shopping!

I love Asda as they always seem to make sure they have plenty of stock, so even last minute people like me don't miss out!

There was loads of great ideas, whether it be the main gift you are looking for, or some little bits & bobs to supliment your gift. Even some cheeky bits ;o)

As you all know, I love to bake. So my eyes were drawn straight to the baking items! There was loads to chose from! I decided on the Love Hearts cookie cutter and stamps. They had a whole range of cute Love Heart items. How lucky will hubby be with some sweetie shaped biscuits of his own! That's if the kids don't get to them first!  This cost £4!  This is a great price for one of these. I've eyed similar in baking shops & they've been a stupid price.

Ok, so the next thing I picked up was kinda a gift for both of us. I thought it was beautiful, and I wanted it! Lol. A lovely little memory box. You can  put a photo in the top of it and keep all your memories inside. This will be ideal for keeping all the ticket stubs and things like that from the gigs we used to go to. And the bit for hubby..... It's full of praline chocolates! So he gets to enjoy emptying it, and I get to fill it up with all our memories!  What a lovely item!

I bought a jokey gift for hubby too. Only £1 got me a toast stamper. So when he makes me breakfast in bed next time (a girl can dream), he can stamp I Love You on it for me!!!  I'm hoping he'll catch the hint!

There really was loads of fab ideas, from icing to decorate your cookies (yes I got some of that too), to the usual flowers and chocolates! 

Get down to Asda now, get in the mood for luuuuuuuurve and pick up a treat, at such good bargains you can get yourself a little something too!!

Happy Valentines everyone!!!

Baby bargains at Aldi

It's that time again, Aldi have a baby event!!

I went today as I had nothing to do on my weekly day off. And was surprised and pleased to catch the baby event!  I always love an Aldi deal, but their baby event is one of my faves!!

First in my trolley, was a book. Miss Iz has started to get a bit book crazy like her big bro, Mstr J.  A beautiful, colourful big book. The pages were lovely and clear for little ones, and minimal words, which is great when your little one constantly wants to turn the page!  The book is called "I Love You When...".  It cost only 99p!!!!!!

Next was a lovely soft cellular blanket. They had a choice of colours. I picked pink, of course!  Since winter has kicked in, in full force, I don't feel like you can ever have enough blankets for your little one. It's lovely and soft, and big at 70 by 90cm.   The best bit, the price, only £2.49.

They also had beautifully soft fleece blankets, the same size, for only £2.79. The girls colours had all gone, but I couldn't resist picking one up for a friend at this price!  As I said, you can never have enough blankets! Lol

I grabbed a pack of nice pink girlie Muslins. Since Mstr J was a baby, the price of these things seem to have sky rocketed! So I grab some here & there if I see them at a good price. Only £3.29, I couldn't resist.  Since the picture below was taken, I have since used one of these top mop up a particularly nasty Miss Iz stain.  It soaked it up great and I can say it also washed up beautifully!

Some other great items I saw they had were.....

Baby sleepsuits, 3 pack for only £3.99

Baby character tshirts, 2 pack for £3.99

Infant tights, £1.99

Hooded towel, £3.49

Baby monitor, £19.99

My fave was a hungry caterpillar gift set, at £14.99!!

So, as I always say, get down to Aldi, as when these great items are gone, they're gone!!
