🎃 Halloween at Abacus – not long left! 👻
Come in and scoop up the last few skeletons, witches and dressing-up costumes! 🧙 There are also lots of scary books, and now books for older children too! 📚
Not to mention loads of great stocking fillers at only £1 each – many are brand new! 🎁
If you see something you like, grab it while you can – the best things don’t stay around for long! 🏃
Open Saturday, 10am–4pm, then back again on Monday.
Find us at 1 Naunton Parade, Cheltenham, GL53 7NP (tucked away behind Parsons Bakery, opposite the Exmouth Arms pub)

📚 Books please for Abacus! 📚
Now that we’re selling books for older children, we need more as they’ve been flying off the shelves! 🚀 – just a few examples are Dog Man, Cat Kid, Isadora Moon, Bunny vs Monkey, The Treehouse, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Goose Bumps, Beast Quest, plus classics by Roald Dahl, Michael Morpurgo and many more. 📖
We always need books for younger children too — board books, story books, picture books and now Christmas books! 🎄
Toys and dressing-up costumes are always welcome — and WELLIES! 🧸👑👢
When it gets colder, we’ll have lots of woolly hats and tops, but it’s still a little warm for those at the moment. 🧶
We still have some Halloween bits and bobs, so come along and see us! 🎃

Abacus needs more donations please! 🙏 💛

Especially kids' wellies — we’ve completely run out! 👢

We also need more good-quality toys, games and books. 🧸🎲📚 We’re now selling books for older children too, so if you have any that your children have read and finished with, please drop them in 😊
Christmas books are now on sale at Abacus! 🎄 We also have some lovely stocking-fillers, plus bigger items such as toy kitchens and dolls’ houses 😃

If you need Halloween bits and pieces or costumes 🎃 we are running low, so hurry and grab some while they’re still here! (or if you have some to donate, that would be great!)

If you’d like to join our small, friendly team and do a few hours of volunteering, please get in touch. 🤝

We’re open 10am–4pm, Monday to Saturday — 1 Naunton Parade, Cheltenham, GL53 7NP.

🧸 Abacus and the Toy Library!! 😊🧸

A new Toy Library is opening in Charlton Kings, and we’re delighted that many of its lovely toys have come from Abacus! 💛

And don’t forget to support Abacus too! We have lots of lovely toys, books and brand new Halloween bits and bobs in stock 🎃 but we’re desperately in need of dressing-up costumes, wellies and coats. If you have any to donate, we would be very grateful. ♻️

Abacus Charity Shop….
….would love to know your thoughts! We have lots of lovely Christmas books 🎄📚 — is it too soon to put them out, or are you the organised type who’d like to buy them now? Let us know! 😊

Check out today’s photos to see some of the stock on our shelves. We have a couple of smaller dolls’ houses, ideal if you don’t want to clutter up your own house! Plus loads of pretend-play toys, cars, dinosaurs 🦕 and dressing-up costumes 🏠👗
