BARGAIN shop B&M is getting into the Christmas spirit early this year by stocking advent calendars and gift sets FOUR months before December.
The discounter is selling LOL Surprise advent calendars for £7 a pop or you can pick up a set with 10 bath fizzers for just £2.49.

Other gift sets already on sale include a Hatchimal duo bath set for £2.99 and Christmas lip balms for £2.49.
For the £7 price tag, your LOL Surprise-obsessed little ones may be disappointed though as they’ll only get 12 windows to open – just over 58p per surprise.
Shoppers can expect a mixture of things behind the boxes, including lip shine and bath bombs for the little ones to play with.
The Sun has asked B&M to clarify exactly what’s in the advent calendars, but we haven’t yet heard back. We’ll update this story as soon as we get a response.

If you’re keen on buying one for your children, first calculate whether the price is worth it and whether you can pick up similar products for a lower cost elsewhere.
The advent calendars were first spotted by Facebook page Money Saver Online, who said B&M is also bringing back its gin advent calendars next month – although the retailer hasn’t yet confirmed this.
Its post quickly got people talking and one user, who tagged her friend, said: “If you see one of these LOL doll ones before I do can you get me one please!”
While another user said: “Neive would love this xxx.”

The LOL Surprise advent calendars aren’t listed on B&M’s website so the only thing you can do is call your local store in advance or pop by yourself to see whether it has any stock.
B&M currently has more than 630 stores across the UK. You can find your nearest one using its store locator tool.
We haven’t been able to find the same product on sale anywhere else, although B&M is also selling a LOL Surprise Outfit of the Day calendar for £29.99.
This is also on sale at Asda, Argos, Amazon and Very for similar prices.
At the end of August last year, B&M also started selling chocolate calendars.
For many of us, the Christmas period doesn’t properly start until Greggs’ festive bake is back on sale – and this week we revealed when it’ll appear in shops again.
You may also want to get ahead with your Christmas shopping as one mum started hers on Boxing Day.
