What have you all searched for for the super cheap bits on amazon? Or have you followed the "other people also bought this" things from other stuff linked? just wondering if I might find some super cheap crafty bits and bobs lurking about Smile

Now I've got an M and S code, can someone remind me what it is valid on, before I go mad on the website? (I have resisted even looking until a) the sale had started on some stuff and b) I had a code. Grin Now I want to fill a truck.

I've pm'ed Vic and minsmum, but the PM's are not working properly, I couldn't use "message poster" so hopefully they have got there. If they haven't just give me a shout and I will re send.

Am at the stage now where I keep closing my eyes and trying to picture each pile of presents for dc to see if it looks ok. I have just 2 remote control cars to get but I am going to wait until black friday and see if I get a bargain

sangria - the M and S discount is on basically everything except food and drink, furniture, gift vouchers and furniture. You can use it on clothing, beauty, homeware, jewellery, shoes etc etc

I bought a load of Christmas decorations and gifts in the 3 for 2 yesterday and got the 20% off on top too!

I was just wondering....out of the various toys you have all bought, how many are specific asks?

My DD 3.2 wants;

  • furreal cat (doesn't seem to be cheaper than amazon anyone?)
  • doc mcstuffins think the doll and lamb thing
  • a yoyo (as featured in peppa episode)


I'm half tempted to store the various other 20 or so things I've bought for during the year and just give her 3 things plus a stocking...

Am I nuts? How much say do your kids have in what you're buying? Is it a mix?

my 2 ask for just 1 thing from Santa - always something small (this year its a digital pet thing and a new train). I have an idea of other things they would like but they don't make lists. That way I get to find things that I think will appeal to them and can find bargains rather than being stuck having to buy specific things - its also then more of a surprise for them too. Mine are 7 and 3 though and I have no doubt it will change as they get older (my eldest isn't in school so we don't have the same kind of peer pressure fortunately)

A few of mine are specific asks but I love finding things that I know they will just love but havent seen before. Because if course it proves the North Pole produces toys the shops don't Grin

Those who ordered the snitch - did yours arrive after the estimated delivery dates?

Ordered mine aaaages ago, contacted them when the delivery dates had passed last week, they were super polite and refunded me, but I'm still wondering if they will turn up.

Thanks Oreo I have the code so now my dh can buy my Christmas present. It seemed unfair to make him pay the full price for my present when everyone else's where so cheap.
I am almost done now just a onesie to buy for my mil and brainbleach for me for the picture in my head
