My Mrs loves Christmas, and as it's been a really crap year I'm thinking of surprising her by covering the house in as many decorations as I can whilst she's at work next week.

Any idea where I can get a load of the cheapest, tackiest decorations? I don't want to be spending hundreds, but I'm hoping the really flimsy, shiny things we used to have as kids many years ago are still in existence and should be cheap, but not sure where to find them?

Cheers guys, will certainly give poundland a go in the high street.

Also, I think I worked out what I need to search for online: "Foil Christmas decorations" seem to be the things I'm thinking of.

for extra points, buy some tissue paper and make your own.

If she's anything like a couple of my ex's you'll get a bking for doing the decorations without her! For extra comedy value get a cheap Santa Outfit and meet her at the door in it.

We were on the battlefront yesterday and went essential shopping at The Range. Plenty of tacky Christmas crap guaranteed to make your home look like 1980s Chinese takeaway / Santa’s Grotto thumbup

Good point! Maybe I'll wait until we've done the tree and any stuff she was planning, then BAM I turbo charge it!
