  • That Empire Stores doll set bargain from last Christmas

    Does anyone remember this? Someone posted a link last Christmas to the Empire Stores sale. There was a doll set comprising of doll, pushchair, carry cot, baby walker, highchair, changing bag and cot- for £1.97 delivered. I ordered it on 21 Dec and it arrived, by courier, on 23 Dec.  I think there were quite a few of us that got it, either for Christmas or to put away.

    So is anyone else unearthing it from the loft 12 months on to give for Christmas? E was only 5m last Christmas but it was such a bargain I got it for a future gift. We've just unpacked it, can't believe how much stuff there is in there. I was expecting it to be really naff and cheap looking but it all seems fine- the label says it's Hauck. There's so much in the box that we're only giving her the doll and pushchair, she can have the rest of the stuff as the year goes on.

    I'd actually intended to give it her for her 2nd birthday next July but my first choice of Christmas gift was foiled so I've bought it forward. I was a bit worried she'd not be into it but she carted round the doll of another hitcher's little girl today so I think she's going to love it.

    Christmas sorted, for the price of a pint, twelve months ago (if only everyone else were so easy Weep).

    Yes, We got that. In fact I put the rest away somewhere really safe and have no idea where it is though. You'd think I'd notice a big box, but then we live at MIL's and so there are boxes of our stuff everywhere. We so far have used the doll, carrycot and nappy bag as I gave them to R when L was born so she had a baby as well. The rest is still in the box for a rainy day or next birthday.

    We gave it to S for her birthday in March, and she loved it! We have now culled some items for space reasons (the doll bed and the walker) but the pram is still in use as is the doll!

    We did have a wheel prob with the pram by the way, one kept slipping off, but Mr M fixed it so it wasn't insurmountable (and anyway, at that price, I didn't complain!).

    We had that. The pram came out during the summer but H found the rest of the things when we were sorting presents for Christmas. I think G will get the rest for her birthday in February as we have nowhere to store it at the moment!

    Ha!Ha!  You've just reminded me that it's still in our garage! Laugh  I keep forgetting that it's in there.  We haven't given any of it to K as there is so much stuff with it and we just don't have the space.  Will probably end up e*baying it or saving it until we move (hopefully next year)
