A pinch & a punch for the first of the month!
I recently went to my local Claire's the other day and picked up a lucky bag. You get 10 random items from sale stock for £5, so that's a fairly reasonable 50p per item. They used to be just £3 but it was obviously only a matter of time before the price went up. These mystery bags seem to get quite a frosty reception (as does the store itself!) from some people and they won't be to everyone's taste. If you would rather have a choice over your items it would be better to purchase them when they are on the sale. For me though, I like the surprise, the chance to have products I probably wouldn't buy otherwise and if I don't like something for myself, I give them as presents. Sometimes things need minor repairs, usually just a blob of glue to stick something back down. Here is what I got:
White Hat - £10+
Knitted Headwrap - £5
Flower Headband - £4.50
Black Alice Band - £3.50
6 Bow Clips - £4.50
Stud Earrings - £4.50
Hoop Earrings - £5
Trainer Necklace - £5.50
Long Necklace - £5.50
Peppa Pig Bracelets and Ring - £4
Obviously these prices are the original prices and not the sale prices, also the hat did not have a price tag but hats are usually around £14 - £18, but the total comes to £52+ so not bad for a fiver!
Those are my personal faves. I have had these many times before and I have had better but I've had much worse too. You win some, you lose some.
DISCLAIMER: I bought this myself with my own cash. I have not been paid or otherwise rewarded for this post. Opinions are my own :-)
