Despite this August being sunnier and warmer for Scots than normal, The Range is already preparing for the winter months.
And shoppers were left fuming when the retailer showed off its range of Christmas buys that are now up for grabs.
The Range took to social media to share its brand new collection of festive decor, which is already stocked on shelves.
In one Facebook post, the shop showed a number of festive cushions and teddies, including cuddly Christmas puddings, gingerbread men, candy canes, and snowy trains and villages.
There was also a huge collection of different Christmas bedding sets, each with its own theme, and large Santa toys.
Fan favourite festive candles were also on display, as well as diffusers with classic Christmas smells such as gingerbread and cranberries.

Other pieces of decor for the home were up for grabs, like little gingerbread house ornaments, green glass trees and gold lanterns.
The Range captioned one post: “They’re here… and yes, it’s still summer.
“Our Christmas candles have officially landed. Because it’s never too early for a little festive magic.”
And another post on Facebook read: “Not to sleigh the surprise… but since you asked for MORE, here’s a little festive teaser.
“Too early? Snow way! Our full Christmas collection is coming soon – stay tuned!”
But the posts led to an outcry from shoppers who said it “spoils the magic” by being in shops so early – especially when the summer is still considered to be in full swing.
Many flocked to the comments to blast the shop for selling Christmas decor before the official start of autumn.
One person said: “Have a day off, it’s bloody August!”
Another added: “Spoils the magic of it. It’s ridiculous”.
Someone else wrote: “Absolute joke…”
While a fourth shared: “Ridiculous, it’s not even Halloween”.
And a fifth chimed in: “I love Christmas, but this is far too early”.
