Disney Princess Umbrella - bargain !!

[Tillybud]

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this here but my little one at the age of two already has a small collection of umbrellas and today whilst out I got her a new addition ... a gorgeous, pink disney princess umbrella for £1.99 !!! It was in a shop called Home Bargains and I only popped in because I saw they had my kitchen towels in the window which I usually pay a fortune for in Sainsburys for £1, anyhow I became side tracked by the childrens umbrellas ... they had two different Disney princess ones, Tinkerbell, Disney Fairies, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Cars, etc and all were only £1.99 ! I have seen these umbrellas selling for £6.99 in other shops and couldn't believe how cheap they were :banana: Makes me wish they did them in big girl sizes but I still have my Mickey umbrella with the ears on either side :)

I need a shop like that near me.

Our pound shop often has them - for a pound :rotfl2:. DD got a really pretty Ariel one, its still going strong.

I was amazed when I saw them, nearly got a few just for pressies for little friends but I managed to stick at just the two although I'm wishing I'd bought a tinkerbell one ! Think I may need to take another shopping trip, especially if all this rain continues :rolleyes:

I love home bargains, our home bargains has cute winnie the pooh character plush first soft toys, they often have lots of disney stuff and other stuff there at rock bottom prices. I often buy stuff on there and resell on ebay, often making over a 100 percent profit.

I saw in their puppy in my pocket bags for £1.99. then went into woolworths and they were selling the same thing for £9.99.

that is quite some profit !!! I've just taken a look on ebay and sure enough the umbrella's I bought today are selling for just over £7 including p&p !

I saw them on Sat too at our local HB shop. They also had cheap Princess & Pooh pjs and a few other Disney bits. I ummed about getting DD1 an umbrella - never thought about getting one and taking it with us on our trip - shall have to go back :rolleyes:

I'm going to go back and try to get a few more, I think they would make sweet little presents for dd's little friends :)

Please don't take an umbrella into the parks in DLRP - it will only end up poking people as you walk about.

Ponchos with hoods/waterproof coats are the way to go :thumbsup2 .

Agreed - some of the paths in the park get very busy (especially down main street), so there isn't really the space for an umbrella. If you can get away with a waterproof coat, then I'd recommend that instead as it makes life easier for everybody, although I don't believe there are rules against umbrellas if you really don't want to use waterproofs.

The park caters fairly well for rainy days anyway, so there's a good chance if you take an umbrella, you'll be forever putting it up, taking it down, putting it up, taking it down etc...

[Tillybud]

yay, got a tinkerbell umbrella today .. dd had lots of fun waiting for it to rain in the back garden with it :) I have only ever used my Mickey with ears brolly at DLP and that was when I first bought him, since then it's been poncho's all the way ... less dangerous and far more convenient :)

[PJackson]

Oh never thought of that! I don't think it will be majorly busy when we go but an umbrella would be a hassle anyway really. We already have our waterproofs ready! :thumbsup2

[giuly09]

Quite a few years ago my mum, my son and me were in Pisa and it started raining heavily so we bought an umbrella.
But after a few minutes it stopped and the sun was out again so the umbrella became just an hassle.
We had the great thought then of *losing* it by leaving the umbrella in a coffee shop *by mistake*.
Shame a nice man runned after us to bring it back and we had to smile and say *oh thank you how silly we have been* :lmao:
