Sale Buys Part 2: Evolution

So my first crazy sale buying was over here if you missed it. Next I hit Evolution in the GPO arcade. Its the perfect shop to get some gorgeous unique gifts and lovely little bits for yourself too. I am a major fan of this shop and even more so when they have their after Christmas sale as they totally slash the prices off loads of things! I kind of went twice..

On my first visit I got these few bits, mainly with my sisters birthday in mind as shes a huge owl lover and they had lots to offer on that line! I also picked up a cheeky photo frame for myself as I just love displaying photos and quirky frames are the best! I couldn't leave without the glass jar for my new bookcase and the Buddha and incense are going to be presents for friends, either for their birthdays or Christmas - yes I plan crazy ahead of time!


Photo frame -€3
Owl plant stander - €2.25
Owl candle holder - €2.75
Incense gift box - €2.75
Buddha statue - €1.50
Glass jar - €2.00

Then I might have gone a second time to see if the sale was still on and I noticed they had slashed their prices even more! Now how could I pass that by without partaking in a little present buying for next Christmas? I also think I'm going to be holding a very late blog birthday giveaway, so a few bits here were picked out with that in mind!


Camper van magnet - €0.75
Cupcake magnet - €0.75
Butterfly necklace - €3.00
You're a star mobiles - €1.25 each
Key chains - €0.75 each
Candles - €1.50 each
Heart mobile - €2.50

As of last weekend they still had their sale on so make sure and go check it out! Its really worth it as I've got loads of lovely things for next to nothing, such major bargains! Hope everyones having a fab day and got some great things in the sales like I have! Tomorrow I'm going to show you what sale things I got from Lush - I've a problem I know!

Also I forgot to individually take a photo of the big flower covered bird in the middle of this photo, duh me! It really reminds me of twitter! It was only €2.

Ikea Haul


I went to Ikea about two weeks ago and picked up a few bits. I'm going to be going back soon to get a new bed (isn't it just so pretty!?) and some lovely bedding. Oh how I love their bedding designs! But I went this time with the idea of getting a new table lamp. 


I got my granny a new plant pot €4.50 and a little cactus €3.50. She is a big fan of potted plants and different types of cacti also bonus points that she didn't have this type!

next I got my lovely owl lamp shade €7 and the plain black stand  for €5. I was a bit disappointed becasue the stand I wanted wasn't going to be back in stock until after Christmas, but looking at it now I think this is a nicer one. I was a bit shocked at the €7 bulb for it though. You can only buy Ikea bulbs for their products so thats a bit annoying. Lastly I couldn't leave the shop without the matching cushion cover that was €5 after seeing it just sitting there. I nabbed a plain cushion too which wasn't that expansive at €3.25.

Isn't it pretty!

I got a bit snap happy while I was walking around, taking photos of things I'd like or ideas for Christmas presents. I might have to have another long walk around the place next time I go, theres just too much I'd love to get in Ikea! Walking around looking at everything is a great way to spend the day too and then grabbing a cuppa or hot dog after, nom!


Hope everyone is having a brilliant day! Stay fab x
