What can I buy from Argos for £4ish to win a bet?

Shocksandboooos · 23/10/2018 10:40

I have £4 worth of Argos vouchers that run out on Friday.
Dh tried to throw them in the bin this morning, saying that I wouldn’t be able to get anything worth having with them without adding a lot on.
I need to win this bet as I lost the last one and haven’t lived it down.

I thought I’d cracked it when I found a pair of slippers but you have to pay online for TU clothes and the vouchers can’t be used online.
We have a 2 year old so stocking filers are a possibility. Please hit me with your best suggestions so that I can wipe the smug look off dh’s face. Grin

I'm starting to worry about the op not updating. Hope the practical joke with her oh worked out well

@Bluebug45 Perfect - Raven the Trickster from Alaskan native mythology has arrived this morning :-)

AviatorShades · 28/10/2018 00:46

OP, any update? Grin

Eliza9917 · 27/10/2018 17:56

Mines called Maven. She's a girl. I'm collecting her tomorrow :D

TrippingTheVelvet · 27/10/2018 16:58

I am desperate for OP to update!

GargoyleBattyness · 27/10/2018 16:46

By next week i mean Monday/Tuesday.
He is as batshit as me and loves the idea of a raven accessory

GargoyleBattyness · 27/10/2018 16:45

DP is going to hunt me down a Raven next week.
We are going to name it Darth Raven. Grin

AbsolCatly · 27/10/2018 16:14

So I'm not alone in picking up Bran (and a 2nd for my DB) today then

Am busy freaking DH out by moving him every so often as well Grin

BlueBug45 · 27/10/2018 16:07

@nonevernotever raven in another language? After a famous person who has something to do with ravens or horror? Or after your DH from calling the eccentric you mad?

What a beauty!!

nonevernotever · 27/10/2018 16:02

Mine arrives tomorrow morning, but no clue what to call it. Dh thinks I'm mad, but that's nothing new

OwlinaTree · 27/10/2018 15:44

I've picked up Branwen!

Why don't you just have a look! Search lowest items first

The thread has moved on somewhat since the original post

NoFucksImAQueen · 27/10/2018 10:52

I need to know how it went

youarenotkiddingme · 27/10/2018 10:34

Have just read this whole thread from beginning to end.

You're all stark raven mad Wink

Surely this needs to into classics. It can't disappear.

Rach000 · 27/10/2018 10:01

So funny! Love the questions on the website. Might have to get a raven...

BlueBug45 · 27/10/2018 02:05

Yes.

Raven solve everything.

SisyphusHadItEasy · 27/10/2018 02:02

I am under incredible stress right now.

My DD's 13th birthday party is on Sunday and I honestly don't know of anyone is going to show up (she is disabled and having friends at her party is so important to her).

I need a raven to add to our household so we can dress it seasonally and name it Poe. That will solve everything, right?

MonsterRAVENLooneyParty · 27/10/2018 01:14

I forgot to buy mine today :-( will send DH tomorrow on yet another mad errand hehe

blaaake · 27/10/2018 00:39

This thread is brilliant. I really want a Raven now  so might have to pop to Argos tomorrow...

Talkingfrog · 27/10/2018 00:27

Just found this thread and had a giggle. Hope the raven on the door handle went down well.

We bought the baby raven from sainsbury's about two weeks ago. My mother in law said that they had a staff, and my daughter wanted one to go with her Halloween outfit (Malificent). Whilst there (about 9pm) I was talking to a member of staff and mentioned that she also wanted a crow, but I thought the only place we would get one was the rspb wetlands. She showed me the raven, and I figured it was the nearest we would get. Daughter was over the moon and took the crow with her when they wore Halloween outfits to brownies.

CarryOnScreamingValenta · 26/10/2018 23:38

Fighting the temptation to get one tomorrow Halloween Blush. The last thing I need is more 'stuff' but they all look so handsome in your pics!

CharlotteUnaNatalieThompson · 26/10/2018 22:58

They are so mumsnetters!!!
