The other day I posted about my before Xmas bargains, now I’m posting my after Xmas bargains, starting with another pair of earrings.

I found these earrings for $3.50, and knew right away they suited the jewellery set I already had. I didn’t like the original earrings in the set as they were too small, but these are just right.

I went on a bit of a stationery frenzy over summer, more on that in March, but here are a few bargains.

TOP: Two gorgeous cards for my planner from Kmart. Gorgeous star earrings $6 from Lovisa. Four star hair clips to use as planner clips, $2 a pack from Cheap as Chips.

BOTTOM: Santa skinny pads .50cents each from Reject Shop. pink glitter & from Typo for $3

More from Typo, but this time from their online store as I couldn’t get the pencil holders in store. They were $12.99 each, the sticker letters were three for $10, and the large document case was $10 on sale, the small matching pencil case was $5.

I decided, since I couldn’t find any decent pencil holders, that I would just buy glittered drink tumblers and throw a disco ball in for good measure.

LEFT: the flamingo came from Officeworks for $4.95.

RIGHT: the two clear silver glitter tumblers came from a supermarket for $4 each. The two large glitter tumblers came from Cheap As Chips for $4 each, and the disco ball came from Kmart for $2.

Have you guys bought an item only to be use it for something it wasn’t made for, such as drink tumblers for pencil holders?
