Partially working fairy lights (Kennington OX1)
A long string of 'old-fashioned' (i.e. not LED) fairy lights, partially working. Originally this was a very long string which has been broken. This section (still several metres) has at least three working sections and potentially could be fully working if the faulty bulbs could be identified. Includes a tub of bulbs taken from the broken off end, most of which are probably working. It needs someone with the time and patience to work through to identify and replace the problem bulbs. Collect from Kennington, please say when you could come.

Lavender scented candle wax (Kennington OX1)
Lavender scented candle wax. Vintage. The instructions tell you to put a weighted wick into your desired container and pour in the wax granules. However it must have been used because there is no longer a wick in the box. Plenty of wax though and I think I might have a few wicks somewhere.

'Little Live' toy bird (Kennington OX1)
Gifted
Toy 'pet' bird, I think these are called 'Little Live' pets It sings a little song and the more often you give it attention (stroke its head) the more it sings. You can also press a button to record a short phrase, song or whatever and it will repeat it back to you. Some of the fuzz on its head is worn, giving it a bald patch. Otherwise good condition.

Base of a small oil lamp (Kennington OX1)
Base of a small oil lamp. At least I think that's what it is, although I have no idea how you could actually fill it! The base is the size to fit on the palm of your hand and sounds as though it's filled with something like gravel. It still has a wick, and the winding mechanism works.
