| | Where to buy !CHEAP! Christmas decorations
Well apparently Christmas is around the corner, and also apparently it is my job (as the youngest) to decorate the office. I got in trouble for not doing it last year, and already getting comments that I haven't started yet.
Of course my problem, is that I don't celebrate Christmas and live on a very tight budget.
So I guess I need some decorations, Christmas tree? Ornaments? Streamers? I have no clue?! And I don't want to break the bank.
Any suggestions or advice?

Ikea is probably your best bet, lots of cheap stuff to be had there.

Or buy some spray glitter and decorate their desks and chairs for them.

Haha---that might be fun--or with spray snow. But seriously, I don't want to bring any hostility into the workplace.

Sicko. It's going up in the living room.

A real tree will struggle in a heated living-room for nearly a month, even if you have a water container. Swiss people do not normally put the tree up until a couple of weeks before Christmas at the earliest.

There's loads in the Heils Armee brocki shop in Hardbrücke. It's a few yards from the station, so very easy to get to. http://www.brocki.ch/filialen/zurich/ | This user would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |
