More Treats From Home Bargains

I have often mentioned my love of the treasure trove of a shop otherwise known as Home Bargains! In fact I only posted about my love of HB not long ago on here. I can't seem to get enough of the place and I always find at least one little pretty something every time I visit. I head straight to the home decor/kitchen-y section and here is what I found on my last visit or two. Oh my goodness I knew I had to have the little woodland animal storage box set!

Sometimes you have to go looksy as things can be hiding in the background, so I always have a thorough peek. The jelly moulds are so cute too - I already have some very similar at home but can see me popping back again very soon just to see if there are any left. I thought perfect little storage pots for Miss. Poppins and her ever growing collection of bobbles/clips/earrings etc. What I did take home was the little animal storage set - isn't it sweet!
    
And what a bargain at only £1.99 for 4 pots - the owl one is so dinky, perfect for Master Poppin's  little raisins on a trip out.
Storage is always an issue here at the Poppins house and I am a big fan of those pretty jumbo storage bags you can get, they home all manner of items, in our case mostly toys and laundry. This was a bargain at I think around the £1.79 mark, rrp is very often £5.00, so a real saving. I popped this red polka dot one straight into the shopping basket as a 'had to have' item.
   
 I adore Pip Studio and enjoy collecting little pieces here and there from the range. I do find it quite expensive however, and so only normally buy an item when it is in the sale. How delighted  I was to spy this oh so adorable mug/teabag rest/coaster set in Home Bargains. How very Pip Studio esque I thought, and at only £2.49 I grabbed a set. There is also a teapot in the same pattern so again I'm hoping to get that on my next visit.
With Miss. Poppins settling into secondary she now has all manner of folders and the like for her school work - I bought this folder and tin set for her, but I think I bought them for me really ;) The 'Humble Vintage' range in Home Bargains is uber cute - so keep your eyes out.
Another cute one is their 'Vintage Tea Party' range I have bought many a plate, cake stand, bunting, straw and party bag from the range, perfect for that vintage party!
The pretty pink stripe straws are a real bargain at only 99p for a set of 25, I may have got enough packs to see me through many a glass of fizzy pink lemonade;)

So, just a little teaser for you to share the delights on offer at Home Bargains, who are also online here Do you, like me love HB too? Perhaps it is just me that gives a little squeal of delight everytime I spy a pretty little something in there. I also love the fact you just never know what you may find next time you visit.
Happy HB shopping!

Floral Bargains

The title of this post should really be Home Bargains as indeed this is where I found a couple of pretty floral treats the other day. I just love stumbling on floraly bargains from there and couldn't resist these. I have become bit of a hoarder of doormats and always like to have a brand new one hidden away when an old one has seen better days. Oh, how I fell in love with this floral rose one and a bargaintastic £2.99.


It looked like it was the last one on the shelf so I quickly picked it up, and claimed it as my own! How delighted was I to then stumble across these pretty floral hand towels, again at only £2.99 each. I just loved the white floral one and thought very Cath Kidston looking...

 
The blue hand towel I thought very Pip Studio esque, so I quickly grabbed one of those too. I shall certainly be going back to Home Bargains for the larger floral bath towels and again a very reasonable £5.99 for those.


I couldn't wait to get them in their rightful place at home and there was certainly one member of the family who felt right at home on the floral mat!


And the towels look just perfect in the bathroom, creating that lovely vintage look I love so much...


So, next time you pop into Home Bargains if you have one near you, you must check out the florals, and having purchased my three cheery finds for less than £10, I was delighted!
