Halloween Non-Exchange Idea - Post Your Photos!

[Dimplenose]

Here's a weird thought I had when I woke at 5am this morning.

As gift exchanges are no longer possible due to organisation/cost etc., could we do a non-exchange instead?

It could work like this:-

Allow yourself no less than £10 and no more than £20 to buy yourself a gift or gifts.

You must get gifts with a Halloween and/or a Disney link. Perhaps it would be more interesting if you visit a town or shop you don't often use.

Post photos of what you've treated yourself to any time after 16th October.

I'm going to do this, would anyone else join in?

Of course. Any excuse to buy myself a present!

 

[Ware Bears]

Count me in! Any excuse to treat myself!

 

[Ware Bears]

Is it just us then? I've already gone and bought mine!

 

[SilentK]

This is a really lovely idea, unfortunately I can't join in properly this time as all my pennies are going on buying myself a rather expensive present - a house!

Would like to join in another time

Ware Bears I hope you're going to share pics of your gifts

I'm planning a shopping trip on Saturday.

Count me in Libby! I read this post when you first put it up but it's taken me this long to figure out how to reply, duh! I've already got myself a mickey Halloween t-shirt this month so this is a pretty good excuse to buy myself something else ;-)

 

[Dimplenose]

Just a few days to go now. Please start posting from Thursday (I had thought that was 2 weeks before Halloween but obviously I can't count!)

I have found it much harder to choose a gift for myself than I thought it would be. There were some Mickey Mouse Halloween T-shirts in Tesco but they are child sized so no good for me Never mind I will post a photo of what I do have on Thursday.

I wish I could post a photo. I did treat myself to something and it is even vaguely Halloween themed, but I am going to have to pick it up from a friend in California when we are out there in November.

Please post a photo even if it is a bit later than the rest of us, I'd love to see what you've bought.

Oops, I just reread the first post and my treat does not quite fit the rules in terms of spending.

I'm intrigued! Please post a photo anyway - on a new thread if it makes you feel better.

 

[Dimplenose]

Here are my treats.

Some spider earrings to wear to MNSSHP, a book for the plane, some Yankee Candle Witches Brew Tealights and, of course, some Halloween chocolate.





Looking forward to seeing everyone's photos.

I will when I get back from California and I just treated myself to something that fits the bill:



They are coming to Disneyland with me.

[Dimplenose]

Those are lovely colours.

 

[dolphingirl47]

Those are lovely colours.

They are meant for Halloween, but I just love the colours and they will get worn in November.

Corinna

 

[Dimplenose]

Yes, they are too nice to wear just once a year.

 

[Ware Bears]

Love your earrings, Libby, hope you had wearing them at MNSSHP and have had a great holiday.

Corinna, love your ears.

Here's the photos of what I bought, apologies for taking so long to post them.
Afraid they're not very halloweeny but both are for our holiday next year - we're taking the train down the West Coast from Seattle to Los Angeles so the book is so I can read up on the places we'll pass through and the earrings are to get me in the mood for our cruise.

 

[florida sun]

Great photos everyone.

 

[Dimplenose]

Lovely treats so far. I love the idea of a USA rail trip - will you be making a trip report?

Anyone else with photos?
