- My name is Emily, and I have a problem.
I spent 66 pounds in Poundland!
Apparently the first step to recovery
is to admit that you have a problem,
and every time I go into Poundland,
I buy so much stuff.
So today, I have another Poundland haul for you guys,
and this one is a festive Poundland haul,
because it is all things for Christmas.
Today's video is also a collaboration
with Haylee from 'My Happy Ever After',
you may have seen a few weeks ago I did a
collab giveaway on my channel,
and Haylee is one of my winners.
Her channel really stood out to me,
she makes great videos, she does 'top tip' videos,
and haul videos as well,
and she always finds really good stuff.
And that is why I was like
"shall we do a Poundland haul together?"
So once you've watched this video,
definitely go and check out her video
because she has also done a festive Poundland haul.
Haylee is also a mom of a little girl
who is nearly four years old,
and she makes videos twice a week on YouTube
and she does all of that with a disability as well,
so she's pretty incredible.
So I'd love for you to go over, check out her channel,
show her some love, let her know that I sent you,
and yes, without further ado, lets get into the haul
because I have a lot to get through.
So the first thing I picked up were these two Zofloras;
they are in the scent Winter Spice,
and they smell so good, so Christmas-y,
like Cinammon-y and Nutmeg-y,
and they just look really really good.
But I've actually never used Zoflora before,
but I've heard so many good things about it;
it's basically a concentrated disinfectant
that you can put in your toilet,
you can mix with water and use it on your floors,
and things like that, so please comment down below
how you use it - if you do,
because I'm definitely gonna test it out this week!
I'm quite excited to try this one out.
Next up, I'm gonna show you everything we got
for our 'elf on the shelf'.
They had a whole 'elf on the shelf' section in there,
and every year we have an elf come and visit,
so I got him some things that
he could do with the boys, or play with the boys.
So the first thing I wanted to show you
is this little bottle that says 'Elf Mail' on it,
it has a little bell, and it's glass,
and it's just really really cute.
And I thought that the elf could write the kids
some letters, and put them in there,
and then likewise, kids could write letters back to the elf.
We also got a little elf on the shelf clothesline
hanging decoration, so this is basically
bunting with all of his clothes on it,
and I thought that one day the elf could maybe
put all of his clothes out to dry,
so I thought that was really cute.
I also got some cookie cutters because
our elf on the shelf will often
bring the ingredients to make cookies,
and also have the cutters as well.
So these ones are stars, and these ones are
a variety of reindeer, gingerbread men, a bird,
and things like that.
I also got these festive paper plates,
and also these festive bowls,
that say 'it's the most wonderful time of the year'.
I thought these were really cute,
and once a year our elf will set the table
for a Christmas breakfast.
So I got those, and also these really really cute
elf straws, which literally just have a little picture
of the elf, and they are candy cane print,
so I thought all of that could be
a table setting that he does one day.
And then I also got these really cute chair covers.
I don't know if you can see that there,
but you can basically put it over
the back of your dining chairs,
and it will just look really festive for one day,
so I thought if the elf wants to,
he could set that up one day for the kids.
And I also thought that this was really cute,
it's a wall sticker kit, and it is basically
the elf house, so you can set that all up,
and put these things on your sideboards,
on your walls, so it's his little door to get through,
welcome mats, and clothes, signs,
really really festive, and I thought it was really cute
because he's probably gonna set up and stay with us
for the whole month of December, so I liked that.
And I also got these festive window stickers
which I thought were really nice, and not tacky,
I think they actually look quite cute,
so I got one pack for each boy,
and again, I thought that the elf on the shelf
could bring these and it could be an activity
that they do together, they could
decorate our big bi-fold windows.
That's everything I got for our elf this year,
but honestly they had so much stuff,
they had clothes, they had jumpers for them to wear,
they had actual doors you could put on the wall,
so if you have an elf that comes and visits,
definitely go and check out Poundland.
I also got this decorative Santa set,
which I thought would be really cute to either
put out the biscuit and the carrot
and stuff like that on, or just to use
throughout the month of December,
but I thought that was really good value for a pound,
because it is actual china.
You get this plate, and whatever this is,
and also a little place for reindeer nibbles,
so I thought this was really really good value.
Next up I got these LED candles which I thought
would be perfect for our front room at night,
I love having the candles on and mood lighting,
but obviously with very young children
it's a worry when you have candles lit,
so I thought this would be perfect.
And again, really good value.
Everything else I'm going to show you
is going to be stocking stuffers,
the first thing being this little plastic tea set,
which I thought would be perfect for Jackson,
he loves playing tea party,
and I've actually got him a china tea set
for his Christmas present.
But I thought this one would be so good for the bath,
so I'm gonna put this in his stocking,
and obviously it was only a pound,
so I really really liked that.
Then I got two packs of Ferrero Rocher,
I had one in mind to go in Matt's stocking,
and then I thought it'd be good to have another one
if we go over to anyone's house at Christmas time.
I just thought for a pound, it's just such good value.
And similarly, I got two Matchmakers,
Matt loves these, so one for his stocking,
and then just one to have.
I also got two packs of After Eights,
because I'm definitely gonna need these over Christmas.
I'm gonna put one in Matt's stocking,
and then have one on Christmas day,
you know at the end of the day
when everyone's laying on the sofa
and just wanting something sweet.
Two rolls of Fruit Pastilles
for the boys' stockings,
then I got three tubes of Jelly Beans
for the boys' stockings,
and they look really good,
they really look like the Jelly Belly ones,
they have all different flavors on the back,
and obviously they were only a pound.
And by boys I mean Matt, Fraser, and Caleb,
obviously Jackson's not gonna have
any sweets in his stocking.
Then I got two packs of glow sticks
for the older boys' stockings;
they love glow sticks.
We put these in the bath,
we do light shows in their bedroom,
so I thought these would be perfect for Christmas.
Then I got this little box of 30 mini candy canes.
I thought these would be good for stockings
but I thought that these would also be good for
sometimes when Fraser writes little Christmas cards
we will sellotape one of these
to the Christmas card or put it in,
so I thought these would just be quite good to have.
Then I got these little Santa and reindeer chocolates
for their stockings, these ones are milky bar ones,
and these ones are the ones with Smarties inside them.
So yeah, I thought these were really really good value.
Then I also got the two older boys a pack of Nerds each,
they love these things, we can only let them have a few
at a time though, because they make them go so hyper.
But I thought I would put these in their stockings.
Also got some Christmas stickers which were
two packs for a pound,
and some really cute holographic stickers,
so again - perfect for their stockings.
Then I got two packs of white chocolate coins,
and I love getting them the white chocolate ones,
because they really love them anyway,
and they're that little bit less messy.
A tube of Munchies for Matt's stocking.
I also got a big pack of batteries,
which we'll definitely need on Christmas day.
We have some batteries at home,
but I was like you can never have enough on Christmas day,
so I stocked up on those.
And how cute is this little Santa china mug?
I thought this was really really cute.
And we can actually even leave it out for Santa
because you can put hot chocolate in there,
and then biscuits down there as well,
and I just thought that was really really sweet for a pound.
In Poundland as well there was
a whole section on gift wrapping,
and it looked so good, but it was so busy
I couldn't even get near it with the buggy.
So, I might actually go back
and get more things for gift wrapping,
because they had really nice gift bags,
and things like that for just a pound.
I did manage to get some luxury ribbon,
which I thought would be perfect for gifts,
and then I also found this card hanger,
which I have always wanted.
I always just put my cards up all over the place,
but this will hopefully house the cards in one place,
and I never knew where to get these from,
so this will come in really really handy this year.
I also managed to get a 120 sticky tags,
so they're basically labels for your gifts,
and there's loads of different cool ones,
and I thought this would be perfect for our gifts
because sometimes I will cut off a bit of extra
gift wrap and make a little card out of it,
and this will just be so much easier,
and they look really really nice as well.
They also had loads of baubles in Poundland,
but we already have lots here already,
but I saw these ones and they caught my eye,
I really liked the geometric shape on these,
so I picked those up.
I also picked up some baby wash cloths
for Jackson's stocking.
I love these baby wash cloths.
I use them so much, I use them on Jackson,
on the other kids, on myself.
I use them for multiple things
and they're just so easy to wash and use.
And I really like them from the Pound Shop,
so I got some more.
I also picked up a board game in Poundland
that was actually five pounds.
There was a whole five pounds section in there as well,
but I still got it because I thought
it was really good value for money,
because it is a take off of the board game Speak Out,
so I thought we could play this on Christmas day.
And then I also got a few things
that were not Christmas related.
I picked up this pack of five kids toothbrushes
for the kids, and then I also got
a little tiny toothbrush for Jackson,
because it's slightly smaller for tiny little teeth.
Then you know I love a storage basket from Poundland
for organization, and I've never seen these ones before
so I picked them up; they're a really nice gray color
and I think I'm gonna put them in my bathroom.
Then its also Fraser's birthday next week,
so I got two 'Happy Birthday' banners,
and also this little birthday badge.
It's his birthday on a Thursday this year
so he will be going to school,
but I think this will hopefully make it not so bad,
because everyone will know it's his birthday,
and you can personalize it,
so it says "it's blank's birthday",
and then it gives you all of the letters in here,
so I can obviously write "it's Fraser's birthday".
And then I picked up some boring things
like I picked up some baby food for Jackson,
some more straws, because I needed to get some straws
for smoothies in the morning,
then I got these little Rice Krispie squares
that the boys like if they ever have packed lunch,
and also a six-pack of Skips.
(laughs)
But yes, that is everything I picked up in Poundland,
but there was so much more in there,
I felt like I actually could've got more stuff,
and there was really good presents
for if you had pets, and stuff like that.
There was a big Christmas pets section.
So thank you so much for watching,
please give this video a big 'thumbs up'
if you liked it, and I will know to make more,
and don't forget to check out Haylee's channel,
and I will see you very soon.
Bye guys!
