Advantages: A great range of dressing up and party things for kids.

Disadvantages: Cheap throwaway stuff.

I often pop in Poundland for decent quality items such as toothpaste or hair conditioner. You can get good branded items such as Arm and Hammer whitening toothpaste at half the price of chemists and supermarkets. But they're also very useful for seasonal items.

I went in last week looking for Halloween things as I remembered they had a good range last year. This year my grandchildren are just old enough to be interested in dressing up so I thought it was worth a look. I got them a cloak each with a lovely furry collar, and a spider's web design, one in purple and one in dark red. They also have black. These fasten with velcro. I also got monster masks, one with a witch face and one with a pumpkin face - nothing too scary, although they do have more gruesome ones. There's even a make-your-own mask kit with enough pieces inside to make four masks, which is fantastic for £1 if you have creative children. They also have some lovely black witch hats with a silvery spiders web design. There's a good range of trick-or-treat sweets, goodie bags, bats, spiders webs, window decorations and complete dress up outfits such as skeleton suits.

It's all cheap, throwaway stuff, but if you want to dress up your little monsters for Halloween, it won't cost you an arm and a leg!

Summary: Ideal if your children are going to a Halloween party.
