But really, you'll get them cheapest off eBay.

JD Sports or SportsSoccer or whatever it's called sell them really cheap. 50p a pack or something.

Yeah I've always used eBay to get the best prices.

Best glowstick moment; biting the ends of and waving them around. In someone's tiny downstairs bathrooom. With the light on you couldn't see any marks or stains, but when you turned the lights off there were these amazing specs of light everywhere, it was like being in space. Obviously we had a bit of a toilet rave in there, who wouldn't?!
eBay. Note that there are different types; the thin flexible ones used as necklaces and bracelets, and the big chunky ones used for emergency lighting and being much more funky.

And god, the stuff inside (although apparently non-toxic) tastes absolutely foul.

Wilkinsons sell them (look in the party section). Poundland do as well but they only have these wierd foam ones.

If you didn't know. You probably want 6 inch ones. Most of the time they come with strings for necklaces or Awesome Poi action.

I recently looked around for some (and i actually made a thread on it). :smile:

I found that i could get three 6" ones from Poundland, obv for £1. :smile: Or can buy a load of thinner ones, i think at 10p each.

I personally use a local wholesaler who will let you in to buy a couple of items as an individual. Failing that, as iTalya said, eBay.
i think ebay would be best too
but the 99p store have them too, and most party shops stock em though they're pretty pricey

Local Army Surplus store, they'll usually have them by the box!
You know that old saying, "Don't go to Reading without a glowstick."

Okay, everyone's said pretty much what I was going to say: THE INTERNET!
