Thanks, I will take a lookscarlett wrote:Unsurprisingly , it's sold out . There is a similar one in The White Stuff. Not sure about the gloves though.
So do you know if JL ever sold the items?
Its interesting you say that its unsurprising they have sold out. I find it odd if they have.
£4M ad and not enough stock halfway through November!
Bit of an own goal if other shops are profiting from their ad. I would have had to make a special trip to the store and probably bought other things whilst there
Fantastic ad though. I was was thinking it was due soon and got goose bumps when it came on and was obviously the JL ad.
Re: DW/DH Unusual Christmas Present Ideas
I fancied the scarf as well, so if we both did perhaps so did a lot of other people.
Shops can be quite sneaky though, so perhaps its out of stock to keep everyone interested and visiting their shop /website on a regular basis!
Yes, the ad gave me goosebumps too!

I pretty much blubbed. Still feel emotional at the bit where you first see him back outside the house.
Do not understand the robin bit though.
Have you actually seen it on the website?

Re: DW/DH Unusual Christmas Present Ideas
I have to admit I've watched it quite a few times...The music really makes it. The robin is telling him how to get across the icy water..he narrows his eyes as if to say thanks a bunch, I can't actually fly!

Lakeland (Plastics/Limited/whatever they're called now) sell 2 different olive/cherry stoners for £7.49/£7.99, so your Christmas wish may come true!StJamesDad wrote: I saw a device on youknowtube that can de-stone them rapidly and is dishwasher friendly.
I've really enjoyed reading this thread but sorry, can't add to discussion as Mr inky and I don't buy each other anything for Christmas, (sob sob ) mainly coz my birthday is on the 18th December so I get prezzies and a meal then.
Other Family birthdays are December 6th, 16th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 28th and 29th - hence not much money left for Christmas presents for each other. We do spend money on the inky sproglets though!

Did not realise Lakeland Plastics had changed their name. Is a bit of an odd name though.

Re: DW/DH Unusual Christmas Present Ideas
Thought the trying to sneak the large pony up the stairs was a bit unrealistic though. What if they had turned around? Christmas ruined!scarlett wrote:Oh yes , it was made in New Zealand wasn't it ?
