Argos

Postby DenmarkKilo » Jun 24th, '10, 23:25



My workplace held a contest to name the inhouse magazine. I won with "Engage" (which considering it's a callcentre, it's ironic), and awaited my obligatory box of chocolates because they realized after 5 and a half years that I don't drink...

Cue my surprise that I won £30 in Argos vouchers...

Now, I don't go to Argos as a rule. I don't look through the catalogs for things that I may need at some point in my life, but I figure I might as well ask you lot...

What is there in Argos that would be useful for me? Magically speaking preferably, but if anyone can see anything that can't be lived without in there for just over £30, then please tell me. Otherwise I'll lose the vouchers and hate myself for it...

That's a given, but not in the catalog...

And you'd have a tenner left over for other stuff!

Edit: put in a tenner of your own money and get this: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2931029/Trail/searchtext%3ECOSTUME.htm


No, and No.

How about a bar table that can be used for table performances?

Storage cases/caddies for all those small bits and pieces we end up with (and can never be found when needed).

Stationery or art supply items (especially if you like mentalism).

Have a look in the toys section too. There are all sorts of bits and bobs you might be able to use in tricks.
