This is a shop that you leave your Credit card in the hotel safe b4 entering...
Would like to see some of your American decorations.🎅🏽🎄❤🇬🇧
Do also check out Hamleys in London. It is the largest toy shop in the world. Then the largest library the British library. Hamleys will totally amaze you!
1st of December at the earliest.
Stop creating content that doesn't represent the majority
Aww memories, as a Child my mam used to take us to Harrods and Hamleys to see the toys and decorations Hamleys is the oldest, biggest toy store on the planet it’s worth a video on its own❤❤
I used to work at Hamleys in the 1970's, most of my lunch hour was spent looking around the store. Every day I would see something new. something that really fascinated me was the 'Ant Observatory' .... yes they sold them too !!
I on visits to london to see family I used to spend hours every Christmas as a child in absolute wonder in Hamleys, was one of my favourite places
A fool and their money are easily parted... welcome to Harrods!
Seems everything is 10 times the price it should be.
Facts, it’s all a bit cringe.
How can you spout something as a fact unless you have experience of it. I much prefer Fortnums food rather than Harrods. Plus I don't buy their decorations etc.
@@welshfae1249 Fortnum's huh... I refer to my original statement! :P
My mom used to say some people had more money than sense 😂
I took a lady Mexican visitor to Harrods. She was trying shoes on and had obviously not realised the price. I showed her the label - £600. I have never seen a pair of shoes removed and put on the shelf so quickly!
I love Hannah's videos for the way she chats away so naturally, you feel as though you're just looking around with a friend.
Whilst most Christmas puddings have alcohol in them, supermarkets in the UK do offer alcohol free Christmas puddings.
And the alcohol is cooked off, especially if you flame it with brandy as well.
Hannah Ricketts does a regular vlog of the high end areas of London. A nice easy way to explore the finer parts of London. She often does more day to day things too. It’s a great escape channel. Informative and interesting- just like your channel. Keep up the great content and reaction. Russ from the UK 😊
This Christmas I have discovered the other half has always thought baubles were called ball balls. He is 41. 5 years ago I found out he had always thought talcum powder was called talking powder.
😆 🤣
Harrods is always worth a visit, especially round Christmas. It's a bit of a joke to own a Harrods bag, as an acknowledgement of having bought something from there, since it's so expensive 😅
Yonks ago, when I was a schoolboy in London, a visit to Harrods (in my case generally with my godfather) was a peaceful, yet wonderous experience. The pet shop, the grand staircases, the huge piano dept, and an enforced dress code for customers to enter. It simply wasn't like any other department store. Today, while still offering quality goods at extravagant prices, it's more like an overcrowded tourist trap.
Those dream days are long gone never to return.
Completely agree - no longer a luxury shopping experience
Gotta love some overpriced tat
I recall the pet shop. before pet shops with animals on display went out of favour. Puppies!
It is if you're rich. Don't kid yourself people who can afford to buy from Harrods regularly get private shopping experiences.@@rssmdb1
I used to work in Harrods - it is huge! And takes ages to find your way around. I worked in the Harrods warehouse that is/was across the road that is now been turned into apartments and an expensive hotel I believe. I worked there in the early 1980s. The warehouse was linked to the main store via huge tunnels and things would be brought through the tunnels to the store. I would mostly pop up in the food hall and then make my way to the department I was delivering merchandise to. I loved working there. For the super wealthy who live in the very expensive parts of London it is their "corner shop" and they think nothing of spending money like there is no tomorrow, with no thought at all. It has changed of course since my day working there, and then ordinary Londoners would shop there. It all changed with Dodi. I wouldn't even step through the door now. If you are a tourist you should visit the place of course. Just for the experience. I prefer other shops in London.
Iconic Harrods is spectacular - an absolute must if you visit London as is Liberty, Selfridges and Fortnum's - set aside a week just for the shops😂
Just remember the manufacturing price is in the pence, and the workers are probably on min wage. Harrods, and London, are just stupidly overpriced.
Around 3000 different brands, and roughly 330 departments over 6 floors, over a million square feet of floor space, also two floors below lower ground where they prepare and cook from, and deliveries in and out, also has a carpark with valet parking and own estate agency, think they still have a bank as well
That's insane!!!
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow I've used the shop since before you were born and still not seen every department, it's changed over the years, much the same as Harry Selfridge shop on Oxford Street, although that's actually slightly smaller than Harrods, as far as Christmas puddings and mince pies, yes they have alcohol in, which is why they can keep for a few years, however they have a lot of people from the middle east visiting or living in London so have non alcoholic items along with other food and drink which suits all religions
Didn't Harrods used to be classy AND tasteful? Perhaps that's just false memory syndrome!
There are 12 days of Christmas, none of them are in November. 😂
When I was a child my parents would put the Christmas decorations up 12 days before Christmas and pack them away again on the twelth night afterwards. I've more or less stuck with that family tradition because I find the festive season gets a bit stale if it starts too early.
Best thing about Harrods is to be able to walk around belly laughing at the posh insufferable tw*ts getting fleeced.
Charles Henry Harrod 1799 - 1885 . Beautiful place just to explore and admire even if you cannot afford anything . 😊❤
Worked in Harrods as a room displayer, the basements are amazing and the store is spooky at night when empty….
A lot of over priced tat. But that's what Christmas has become.
A few years ago I went to the Harrods Christmas shop sale, and kitted out my whole tree for a fraction of the price, and when I put my tree up even after a few years it still looks spectacular and worth every penny.
I will whisper - "a lot of overpriced tat" But it was fun watching you pair enjoying it.
Season's Greetings!
That was a fancy Christmas cracker! The cracker snap didn't bang though 😅 they tend to do that at times
I think you're supposed to grasp the strip inside the ends and pull, not the ends themselves to get it to "pop"?
@@JustLiesNOR you're right ! Was going to make same comment, buy you beat me to it 😁
Shocking that people will spend this kind of money on this stuff whilst at the same time others are sleeping outside on the streets with nothing to eat.
Ladies, you’ve got to watch Hannah Rickets other Christmas vlogs of Londons stores. You’ll love the Liberty store. It opened in 1875, it’s a beautiful Tudor building, all beautiful wood inside. It’s truly magical. There’s no where like it here in the UK. I’ve just found your channel & subscribed. Looking forward to watching more of your videos 👍😁
Food hall is absolutely amazing, make sure you check it out when you can
An aside note Harrods has an ice cream bar .
Where you go and sit like in a bar stool area and enjoy whatever Ice Cream treat you heart desires .
I was at a college in the neighbourhood in the 80s.
To use the squeaky clean and well appointed restrooms then cost £1.
Traditionally, that was 24,000% inflation.
Figgy pudding us essentially Christmas There's a verse dedicated to it the carol "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" Imagine a group of 19th century Carol singers outside your door singing;
"Now bring us a figgy pudding,
Now bring us a figgy pudding,
Now bring us a figgy pudding,
AND BRING SOME OUT HERE!
And we won't go till we've had some,
And we won't go till we've had some,
And we won't go till we've had some,
SO BRING SOME OUT HERE!"
Christmas puddings can be flavoured with alcohol based drinks and 'flamed' with brandy which burns off the alcohol (children eat pudding too). We do have alcohol free puddings. I noticed you didn't pull the cracker correctly: the length of your 1st finger and your thumb should be in the join between the ends and main body. Gripping this area tightly will ensure that strip of card is pulled with the rest of the cracker to produce the 'crack' sound. Yours was still whole after you pulled it: remove it from the cracker and pull each end....
so glad you told them I was itching to
We in the North of England live in a different world. London stores are just to cater for tourists eager to lose their money. It gives a poor reputation that all of the U.K. is the same.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I would have included the word 'gullible' in front of tourists!
Tis Ange
this was really sweet to see. i think id have to be very careful i didn't blow the budget way to easy to do. As for getting ready for CHRISTmas I haven't really put out many decorations. I have an illuminated nativity scene and an advent tree , to mark off the dates leading to CHRISTmas. I will be seeing siblings n the parental (( mum)) on the day itself. but it will be a short visit as I will be working Boxing day
Hi ladies, Natasha the item you said Debbie would love but didnt know what it was, it was an advent calendar. You need to check out Liberty at Christmas, Liberty are another London store, smaller than Harrods with beautiful architecture, they always go full on for Christmas. Love your channel
Thank you!!
Harrods is definitely worth looking round, but it really is just full of gaudy, overpriced tat aimed at tourists. And, more remarkably, some people do their regular weekly food shop in the food hall!
Just think how irritated the extremely wealthy would be if they didn’t have ridiculously expensive Christmas baubles to spend their money on
0ver 30 years ago I used to have a customer who was about 80 and back in the 1930s she worked as a sales assistant in Harrods and she told me she used to serve Queen Elizabeth's mother and once she apologised for the behaviour or her children Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Lol . My decorations usually go up 3 days before Christmas .
We trim up for Christmas on Christmas Eve, for the 12 days of Christmas as is traditional.
I believe the Dutch don't put up their home Christmas decorations until Christmas Eve and not before which is how it should be in my opinion.
That was awesome, I loved seeing all the decorations and it was fun watching you both opening the Christmas cracker! Thanks so much ! You have motivated me to go and get started decorating my Christmas tree ❤❤
Yay!! Merry Christmas 🎄
In the 1960s my gran who raised me used to what were called paper chains coloured crape paper made into rings and joined to make brightly coloured chains . She would put them along the top of curtain rails . or even accross the front of a shelf and put greeting cards on the paper chain fold in half over them
It’s a bit annoying that she keeps going on about the prices - it’s Harrods, you expect it to cost an arm and a leg. Most people just go to look and it’s beautiful, although it is good to have a bag
MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY HOLIDAYS NATASHA AND DEBBIE FROM LINDA I N THE UK HAV GREAT XMAS 🎄🎄🎄🎄😆😆 YOU LADIES MISSED THE BANG FROM THE CRACKER WHEN U PULLED IT ,ITS THE LONG THIN STRIP OF THIN CARD JOINED TOGETHER IN MIDDLE IT RUNS RIGHT THREW THE WHOLE CRACKER
My mother used to take me to Harrods at Christmas she always bought a pork pie.and they always put it in a harrods bags ..then we would walk down to see the Christmas lights with my mother swinging her harrods bag good times
Your question regarding Xmas decorations....most of the stuff is put up the first weekend of December by my family. The tree, however, is brought in and decorated on Dec 21st - generally a Noble Fir. Everything comes down on 12th Night, Epiphany. Though most of any chocolate tree decorations seem to have mysteriously vanished long before then. Oh the joy of having 15 grandsons!! 🙄
I don’t know where Harrods get there prices from. It’s crazy. You can get some the same from a garden center. They have some great things. ❤️🇺🇸🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸🎄
One of our xmas traditions is to watch Raymond Briggs - The Snowman, a lovely little animated movie. I also really like the Snowman Irn Bru adverts which make much more sense if you've seen the movie. It's only about half an hour long so you may even be able to react to it if you wanted. There are a couple of sequels but, whatever you do, don't watch his When The Wind Blows, that would ruin xmas...I mean it's great, but not for xmas.
I just bought half a dozen handcrafted baubles for my tree from a local small pop-up craft and home decor shop. Impulse buy, but they were so tasteful and nicely made - £6 each. And it supports the ladies who run this shop, which for me is also important in these challenging financial times esp. for small independent businesses - win-win all round 😊
Every year me and my mum buy each other one tree ornament, can be anything vintage or antique or an odd one from craft stalls, I carried it on with my children and get them one each, each year too, we've got such an amazing collection now, and eventually when they're old enough my kids will have their own ornaments to take with them to their own homes ❤
@@helensmusings Ah, that's a nice thing to do, Helen. Great to have a selection going back decades 😊
Load of old Tat for Christmas. Good luck to all the tourists who go there!
Mostly full of everything you don't need.
People only go there for the bags really.
Iceland now
The patch is the regimental badge of the Grenadier Guards, the Latin is taken from the motto of the Order of the Garter and means: “Shame to him who thinks evil of it”.
Years ago Harrods used to have a Pets department where you could buy anything from a puppy to an elephant! I don't think they do that now.
I believe that is where Monty Python got the famous dead parrot from.
A good thing they do not
They stopped selling Elephants years ago because they couldn't actually sell any of them, due to British customs you are not allowed to mention them while you are in the same room as them. It made selling them impossible :)
@@danielreed5199 Oh yes, I do mean years ago. Now 'exotic' pets are banned and quite right too. Selling tigers and apes was part of the 'we can get anything for you' sales pitch which rapidly went downhill when thankfully animal rights people objected enough to get the law changed.
@@margaretnicol3423 I appreciate your insight, I agree... I was though.. just making an "Elephant in the Room" joke :)
Decorations: In my family the dec's come down on Twelfth Night, so 12 days after Xmas Day (hence the song). So, we put them up twelve days before Xmas Day on the 12th of December. This seemed a common tradition in most homes when I was growing up. Now... people put them up once Halloween and/or Guy Fawkes Night is out of the way. Bah humbug.
some of us will wait until the January sale and buy the ornaments then for next year!
Harrods is nice to look around, this time of year. That’s literally all I do in there, is look, but don’t buy. Too expensive.
Anybody done a christmas video of Aldi? 😅
A lot of blind food taste tests have harrods lower down. It's a status thing
You can sell anything if you package it right! By the way it's been Black Friday here in England for the last two weeks solid! I popped into Lidl last week and there was a poster on the wll announcing "Black Friday - Starts Sunday!!!"
People who are spending that sort of money on Christmas decorations have got more money than sense.
Live & let live
Some, not all.
You have not realised the significance of the patch, it`s the royal cipher, the Latin words are the motto of the royal family and it is on all the Military regalia.
Want quality, get your Gold Card out in Harrods 😬
Commercialised Christmas personified.
Hide all your credit cards before you look! 😀
Harrods is a place you visit for the first time with no money or credit cards, just a note pad and mobile phone. To take pictures. After your first visit, analyze what you have seen noted, then make up your shopping list. Then stick to the shopping list. And if you noted prices, and found other suppliers who can sell the same at better pricing, haggle. Otherwise be prepared to part with lots of cash.
My sister and I, are going too the Garden Center at Barton Grange tomorrow. They alway have great Christmas stuff. 🎄🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Barton Grange, a great place to visit here in Lancashire.
However, I'm afraid I agree with many people who say Harrods is so expensive. why would you spend money on such high priced decorations when you have a family to feed decently? I admit to never having been to Harrods and I'm sorry to say that seeing that video hasn't increased my desire to ever visit.
When I was a child a bauble was kmown as a weasle ball. At christmas I order food things on line from Harrads special things I like at christmas time.
MERRY CHRISTMAS From The United Kingdom
Merry Christmas
I'm heading there next Saturday, just got to brace myself for the Christmas crowds in Central London and try not to bankrupt myself!
Just noticed I was no longer subscribed.. I didn't do it.. if youtube did this WHY
This has been happening to LOADS of our viewers!! Keep your eyes peeled
I’ve never wrestled a Russian Oligarch for the last tin of beluga caviar at my local Alde.
😄😄😄
I am going to get my tree today we always have a real tree.
Happy Christmas Natasha & Debbie
You have to realise, it's £billionaires & Arab princesses who are buying those ridiculously priced items but I did buy a Harrods Bear every year...stopped all that when I bought my elder daughter's chosen wedding dress there in 2007 (wedding was 2008 but took several appointments for fitting, a bottle of champagne 🍾 opened for us each time 😅)
Harrods is the sort of place that will sell you a Shopping Bag (that most stores just give away for FREE) for $50 or a $2 deck of Playing Cards for $75. YES its very nice inside but everything is so overpriced. There Motto used to be "What ever you want we will sell it to you" what they do not tell you is its "At A PRICE" that would shock most everyday shopper
There is an old joke about how you can find anything at Harrods.
A man walks into Harrods and says to one of the assistants:
"I would like to purchase an elephant."
The assistant replies: "African or Indian, sir?"
Probably came from the fact that you could buy exotic animals there way back.
While my boys were growing I used to buy 4 of the same tree ornament, so when they leave home we have some of the same things on our trees when we're apart.
How lovely!! Such a beautiful idea 🥰
Harrods, a name that I always associate with quality.
My late Aunt always had an eye for the best of everything. She sent me the best Christmas card, ever. Use your imagination:- A man walking his dog past the quaintest bungalow, everything covered in a layer of fresh snow. On the roof Father Christmas had left his sleigh and reindeers. His footprints showed that he had gone down the chimney. The mans dog was on an extending lead and it’s paw prints in the snow showed that it had run up to the bungalow, jumped onto a coal bunker and from there onto the roof, following Father Christmas down the chimney, The bungalow door was open, Father Christmas had run for his life, out of the door, a piece of his trousers had been bitten away, with the man’s dog hard on his heels. It was the sort of scene that you would have framed and hang it on the wall. When I went to look for it to put it in a frame, I couldn’t find it. My partner said it was no longer Christmas and had torn it up and thrown it out with the other cards. I was so very disappointed and when she called it sentimental, I could have cried. A little sentiment in our lives is a good thing.
Keep up the good work Ladies. 🙏
Åhléns in Stockholm also has a pretty spectacular Christmas market… They usually have festive dioramas in their shop windows that are quite intricate.
PS. Love Father Vader on the T-shirt!
Harrods is very expensive
Went years ago when visiting London when my kids were Little. Well was dragged in by my Wife. We had Tea and cake whilst in side Harrods the prices were ridiculous. I eventually managed to get us out and into the Natural history museum. Me and the kids were happy again.
I was chatting with my ex girlfriend last year and she told about when she went to Harrods, and she hated it not just because it's so expensive but also because there was no clear route to the exit.
nice. like harrods.
ORIGIN OF BAUBLE
1
First recorded in 1275-1325; Middle English babel, babulle, from Old French babel, baubel, derivatives of an expressive base with varying vocalisms; compare Old French baubelet “little trinket”.
The only things I ever bought from Harrods were a bottle of shampoo and a spirit level for my dad, I couldn’t afford anything else. I did
once receive a Harrods mini Christmas hamper as a present.
She has my full admiration, heads for the Christmas section first...my first stop is ALWAYS the chocolate section, it's HUGE , my favourites , Leonidas are the ones I bought every year for my mam , got to have a sample then buy some 😂❤
Have a LOOK at Harrods, maybe buy something that takes your fancy and which is reasonably priced (I suppose you could go overboard on one item if you'll get pleasure from it) but then buy most of your Christmas gear from local shops or shops which are priced for the public rather than millionaires...
HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL...!
Growing up our Christmas decorations went up around the 10th Dec & came down Jan 5th. This year my partner & I put ours up with the kids 3rd Dec
27:03 - I'm surprised you're not familiar with the word "Bauble". Many American singers have performed, _Baubles, Bangles, and Beads_ which, I believe is a song, from a fifties American musical. (Singers include, Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra.) Yes, I know it's so long before your time, but it is a _standard,_ and the film version of the musical must have appeared on US TV over the years. (I'm case you're wondering, yes, I am old, but my real musical interest didn't start in earnest until the dawning of my teens in the 60s with the arrival of The Beatles, Stones, etc.)
Some people in the UK don’t start putting up their Xmas Dec’s until 12 days before Xmas, partially due to superstition,
This may also related to the song “12 days of Christmas”,
They will also leave the Xmas Dec’s up until 12 days after Xmas but no longer then 12 days,
This is the belief that it is unlucky to put your Xmas Dec’s up before the 12 days leading up to Christmas & leaving them up longer than 12 days after Christmas,
🇬🇧😎👍🏼
3:50 Thanksgiving is American day, Black Friday is observed wherever Amazon delivers.
Merry Christmas from the UK!!
My daughter's birthday is 2nd December, so nothing Christmas related until after then. I put my tree and decorations up on 3rd this year , bit earlier than usual as we have my daughter's gf living with us and she loves Christmas as much as I do (a lot!). Usually though I put it up the 2nd weekend of December.
Harrods is very expensive, but it's a beautiful store and well worth the experience of visiting it.
You need to watch Hannah Ricketts at Selfridges, Liberty, and Fortnum and Mason. Shes very cool.
The twelve days of Christmas are from 24th December to 6th January. Traditionally the tree should be decorated on Christmas Eve 24th December (Day one) and taken down on Epiphany January 6th (Day 12).
However who has time nowadays to put up the tree on Christmas Eve. I always put my tree up on December 6th and take it down on January 6th then I get a whole month of Christmas that incorporates the actual 12 days of Christmas in there. I never understand those that prematurely decorate in November and take everything down on Boxing day (26th December). These people completely miss the actual 12 days of Christmas, as they have everything packed away on the third day of Christmas. That's insane to me.
I did wonder at first whether Hannah's video was a spoof. She seemed straight out of the 1980s with her Alice band. I don't live near London and have only been to Harrod's once - about 25 years ago. Although the store was busier than in Hannah's video, there seemed to be no shortage of employees hovering to help me in many of the departments. Therefore I am a bit surprised that Hannah was allowed to video her visit without someone stopping her. Perhaps the deal was that she could film but only if she said positive things about Harrod's.
For those not from the UK, the main shops that Hannah mentioned are not a mainstream part of the UK retail scene. Three only have full-size stores in central London (Harrod's, Fortnum & Mason, Liberty), while Selfridge's only has stores in Birmingham and Manchester outside London. Selfridge's and Liberty are not cheap but not unduly expensive for the quality of their wares, but prices in Harrod's and Fortnum & Mason are generally very expensive - and in some cases eye-wateringly expensive. She briefly mentioned John Lewis, which does have stores in most large UK cities (but no longer in Birmingham or Sheffield).
I haven’t read through the comments, but thought I would mention that Harrod’s was at one time owned by Mohamed Al-Fayed, the father of Dodi Fayed who was Princess Diana’s partner and also killed alongside her, on that fateful night in 1997. Mohamed Al-Fayed, an Egyptian billionaire, was some might say ‘desperate’ to be ‘accepted’ by the British establishment. He consorted with Royalty, and the Elite, but felt he was never really accepted by them despite being a generous benefactor. His purchase of Harrods was another channel in his quest to become part of the Establishment. He died this year, never gaining British citizenship, bitter, some may say rightly so. He always believed that the circumstances of his son’s and Princess Diana’s deaths were not what they appeared to be, again some might say rightly so.
It's expensive simply because it's harords and central london .have a wonderful Christmas both of you .I recommend a look atthe Christmas window displays on Oxford Street.
My friend and her daughter went to Harrods on thursday and brought a baubel for £7.00 😂and my mum goes to buy a carrier bag just so people know shes been to Harrods😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love your channel. I'd struggle to watch this though. This year is the 40th anniversary of the IRA bombing of Harrods - still very painful memories to deal with. So glad things gave got better.
My decorations go up a week before Christmas 🎄 and down on New Year’s Day. 🎉❤❤❤❤️🇺🇸🙏🇬🇧🤷♀️
decorations go up 12 days before and come down 12 days after - as in the song "The 12 days of Christmas"... But nowadays people start putting them up way before then - I've even seen them in November! That's way too soon.
Family tradition was always. 12 days before and take them down 12 days after.
Harrods isn't what it used to be, back in my day. It's expensive tat, that is only expensive because of the name.
Just ordinary Garden Centres have better selections these days. And because you're there, to pick up a Christmas tree. It's a perfect place, to do ALL your Christmas shopping all at once.
Hey, idk if y’all remember me, but I was the one who gave y’all a tour of the fire station
Of course we do! Hi 👋🏻 and Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤️
How are y’all doing
