"WOW .... what value!!"

My little girl loved the non- spill cup although this was probably down to the Winnie the Pooh motif rather then the cup. This is the first cup she has wanted rather then her bottle an on going saga! However i loved it equally as it was non-spill and actually worked!!! Compared to other brands on the market, that are more expensive and aren't NON SPILL despite the advertising.It was also soft spouted which is a bonus as some of the harder moulds, she finds difficult to drink from. They are so far removed from her bottle, she quickly loses interest.

The earbuds were fantastic value for money a branded product for a £1.00 i really can't argue.

The Aloe Vera wipes, are not the best I have used. They are very difficult to obtain, from the packaging one at a time. I would quite happily keep these in my changing bag as a reserve. However as they are not as moist as some other brands, I would suggest that these be used to wipe sticky mouths and hands rather than a dirty bottom especially on a young baby or child.

"Great bargains"

The blue Winnie the Pooh non spill cup is fantastic. I struggled to find a cup that my son would drink water from until I came across this. In fact, I was so impressed I went and bought two more!

The cotton buds were good value for money, although I do not really use them.

The wipes weren't fantastic compared to other cheap brands (such as supermarket own) so wouldn't buy these myself.

Overall excellent value for money.

"Excellent value for money"

Johnsons ear buds - can't complain, amazing value for money. None branded wipes - no good for babies bottoms but ok for hand wiping. Winnie the Pooh drinking cup with soft spout 6mnths - looks great but my little girl is a guzzler and it wasn't fast flowing.

I do have to say that I am a frequent shopper at Poundland and love love love it as there are plenty of bargains for baby so would definately recommend it to everyone xxx

"long roll"

My husband sells a lot of stuff on E-bay, and wanted me to get him brown paper for sending it. I tried Poundland, and they had some!
The paper is good quality, not the thin stuff, and the roll lasts for ages. I can't remember the length it said it is, as I threw out the plastic it came in, but it has lasted for ages, and he has wrapped loads of things to send on. I've used it myself too, and it is really easy to cut. It is thick enough that you can't see through it to see what's underneath.
I will buy my brown wrapping paper there in future, as it's the best value and quality that I've seen.

"Good value"

I got 3 products, cotton buds, wipes and a sippy cup. The large pot of J&J cotton buds was very good value for £1, the aloe vera wipes were awful, very difficult to get out of the packet, pulling one out NEVER left the next one sticking up a bit, but they probably do branded ones for a good price? I personally didn't like the sippy cup as it looked cheap (and it was pink for my son...) but I can appreciate that it is good value for what it is. If I was walking past a poundland I would go in and see what else they have.

"OK"

I really liked the cotton buds nice and colour and very soft!
I really disliked the sippy cup, thought it was cheap looking-yes its poundland so I guess you get what you pay for.
The opening of the wipes is really good and secure and doesn't pull off like most wipe package openings. But the wipes themselves are really difficult to remove. I always end up pulling about 10 out and having to try stove them back in!

"value for money"

Poundland cotton buds were great value and just as good, if not better than the leading brands.

The non spill cup was fantastic and really is "non spill" and easy for baby and toddler to hold.

The aloe vera wipes were OK. I found them slightly better than other chep wipes as they are drier and did not leave lots of wet on baby's bottom that needed drying off. However, they come out of the packet in clumps of 3 or 5 and are very hard to separate. My daughter has very sensitive skin and these caused no problems at all

"Good Value"

The Johnsons cotton buds were great value for a £1 as it was the large tub containing 200. The Disney pooh bear cup is also great, it's the only non spill cup my little girl has managed to get a drink out of, she just doesn't like the others I have tried so far. However the wipes weren't very good, I found them a bit dry and seemed to drag on the skin a little bit, I agree with others that they were difficult to get out of the packet. I would definitely have a look in my local Poundland in future.

"Some good deals"

I had 3 products from Poundland-

Johnsons pure cotton buds- were good value at £1.

Hey Baby! soft baby wipes with aloe vera- I was rather disappointed with the wipes- difficult to get out while changing a wriggly baby, and not very thick. Normally buy asda or tesco own brand which are cheaper and much better quality.

Disney baby easy sipper cup- cup was ideal for a pound and I would imagine cheap for a Disney product.

"Great Value"

I was very surprised to find that Poundland offered so many branded products at excellent prices. Johnsons Cotton Buds (200) and Disney Baby Juice cup both excellent value at a £1.

I was slighty disappointed with the quality of the wipes and did not find these good value for money, as I much prefer using Johnsons baby wipes or Huggies wipes and can usually find them on offer somewhere for £1.

Poundland offers permently low prices on so many items as well as for baby. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Poundland also sell many named brands such as Johnsons Baby and Disney Baby.

For example they have 200 Johnsons Baby Cotton Buds for a £1 and many different Disney Baby items such as a Babys Juice bottle which is so cute.

"bargain "

I recieved:
Johnson's cotton buds (200,
I found these to be great value for money, they have saved me money compared to other shops & are strong compared to other brands...

baby wipes (poundland)
I found these to be hard in separating when pulling out the packaging & would only use again if I had to..they are thin also (but what do I expect for a pound...)

Disney bottle (winnie the pooh)
My little boy loves it, I have tried lots of different trainer cups to get him to drink juice from.It doesn't spill fluid anywhere either.It has hand moulds on the side which is a good idea as my boy could grip this easily...

Overall I think Poundland is good for the items they have sent me...

"saves money"

We recieved Johnsons cotton buds, baby wipes and Disney bottle (winnie the poo)
Johnsons cotton buds 200! Is brilliant value for money, This has saved money compared to other shops.
Baby wipes - they were okay. They were basic wipes. Which sometimes did not always work easily in separting when pulled out of packaging.
Disney bottle - My little girl loves it though it is too heavy for her to lift. I have tried all sorts to get her to drink juice from a beaker and failed this works like a bottle but is a transition from bottle to beaker. It does not spill fluid anywhere. Only wish it was smaller or had handles.
So basically I think Poundland is great for the items they have sent.

I personally do look to see what out local has in the store reguarly as things change as to what they stock

"Great Value for Money"

I received johnsons cotton buds, baby wipes and a disney bottle.

I love cotton buds and found it to be excellent value for money.
I was disappointed with the hey baby soft baby wipes and didn't find them that good for wiping mess, face or bum but are handy for keeping under the high chair.

The bottle is excellent and once your child is older you can take out the teat so that they can drink directly out the bottle so is an excellent transion travel bottle.

I have always found poundland to be excellent for bargains however I general hunt for branded items rather than poundlands own i.e. the wipes.

"Value for money"

I recieved Johnsons cotton buds, baby wipes and Disney bottle (suitable from 6 months onwards).
Johnsons cotton buds 200! Is brilliant value for money, as you basically save yourself up to 60p!
Baby wipes - they were okay. They were basic wipes. I found a little thin. Tescos and Sainsburys often have offers and we can buy huggies and pampers wipes for nearly a pound. I found the Tesco own brand wipes less than a £1 much better.
Disney bottle - the bottles, cups, plates, cutlery you buy at Poundland brilliant. But lack variety. Tesco had a special the other week on most tommee tippee products for a £1 each - that was brilliant value.

So basically I think Poundland is great, but if you look further and closely for specials at Tesco or Sainsburys, you can grab a better bargain and better quality. - only thing is - happens every couple of weeks, whereas poundland is the same all the time. :-)

I was surprised at the wide range of quality products and brand names available at poundland. When you have 5 children, it helps to be able to purchase quality products at bargin prices. Poundland has a great selection of baby products including the johnsons range. I got a baby beaker that is non spill and my baby can actually get get the juice out. I've also found they have a great selection of stationery items as well as items for party, which I host quite a few of! I would definitely recommend you take a look round if you haven't already, you will be surprised at the selection available. Everytime I'm in town, I always take a look round as the range of products changes all the time and I love a bargin!

"Brilliant Bargains in Poundland"

We were having a coffee out in town the other day and where we were sitting, we could see a Poundland shop opposite. I needed some tissues or something equally boring and so I thought I'd just nip in quickly and get some.

Woah, was I impressed!

I had no idea that Poundland sold so many branded items. I thought everything was going to be bargain-bucket and that they'd only have cheap and cheerful stuff. Well the only thing that was 'cheap' were the prices as everything was obviously a pound or less!

They had Johnsons Baby Shampoo, Johnsons Baby Bath, Pampers Wipes, Organix Baby Food and absolutely loads of other good brand products. I picked up some suncream with 5 stars, plasters, antihistamines and we also bought a load of solar lights for the garden believe it or not.

In the past there has been a lot of snobbishness around as far as shops like these are concerned and the bad press is totally unjustified, particularly in today's economic climate.

The range of products in Poundland was phenomenal considering the size of the shop and I will definitely be going back there! Well done Poundland!
