And Home Bargains, where I went at the end of August, and found a few bits of interest to readers of the Blog, ticking two boxes here, edibles and white button toys,, and incidentally; I spent a couple of hours last night re-Tagging White Button, which now shares the Clockwork Tag, but Clockwork of the vintage, large or tin-plate variety won't have the White Button Tag I also added Cable Drum as a Tag!
Hallow Scream . . . geddit! Well, once you have a few, you just have to keep getting them! A gangling ghost and a perambulating pumpkin, similar to the garden centre ones we saw last year, and with a growing selection of robots, marching troops and a couple of dinosaurs, not to mention a
Grinch (also
Home Bargains), it's a race to see who dominates what will become a dedicated tub!
I thought the 'BOO!' detracted from the overall character of the toy . . .
. . . so I removed it with a bit of hand-sanitiser mixed with de-icer!
I also picked up these chocolate eggs, and managed to remove the wraps carefully (another collection of mine is old sweet and confectionery wrappers!), and managed to take the outer liner home with them, so I can scan it for the eventual A-Z listing, which in this case is
Mon Desir, the people who brought us the chubby, semi-deform Superhero gift-eggs, about ten/twelve years ago.
Pretty standard chocolate, not unpleasant, no white chocolate half, and a fun thing for a lunch box, or even the breakfast table - Halloween falls on Saturday this year doesn’t it?
Sadly the contents aren't Halloween related,, being 'bog-standard' stuff we've seen before from other minor brands, with the bobbing 'chariot' and jogging dog-team, both mirroring such items from
Kinder's past, the frog a common capsule toy, and the 'space' pick-up truck is fun!
