Love that the snitch confusion made it to the title Grin. I imagine people are seeing the thread title in active convos and thinking what the fuck is that all about Grin

If anyone is spending over £25 at Claire's go instore first and pick up a Christmas gift guide because there's a couple of discount codes on the back of the magazine. One is to be used before Chrisymas and is, I think £5 off and the other is 25% off to be used in the new year.

Free delivery from The Book People with orders over £10, code NEWBOOK.

HimAndHer I couldn't get Christmas slots to show on my phone, even using the desktop site. had to do half of it on the laptop (which felt alien Confused )

InTheRedCorner · 22/11/2013 22:52

Has anyone seen the rory story cubes extension packs (3 dice) anywhere which has bargain offers? I resent paying full price, especially when rrp is nearly twice that of one of the other packs for same number of dice. I want the three packs for stockings because they will be each perfect for a different dc and they all enjoy the voyages one that we have.

Thanks so much to Raisah, laly and Zipzap, lots of great ideas. I was thinking boxes, I like the argos ones a lot but I had read reviews about the smell - a bit of a worry!

Zipap I like those organisers, we are doing hampers for family couples with beer (from Beer 52, but the selection was bad so not so sure now!), nibbles from flavourly, some home made bits and a pint glass I will etch with a name for the blokes, plus for the women, baileys minatures, chocolates, hot choc and a chocolate stirrer, plus some make up bits and pieces and a mug I've made and DD has glazed - I have spent the last few hours making mugs and teapots!

So need something fairly study....

joymaker · 23/11/2013 00:57

imnotweird it was me after a deal on Lindt chocolate, I'll head down to my lacal co op tomorrow, thanks a lot for the heads up!

Hello folks
Thanks so much Reastie, enjoying browsing though hard to keep up!
There's a new Boden offer on (nearly always is so may not be worth mentioning!) 30% off coats and poss jumpers?
No code I think just through site.
Also, someone asked way back about finger puppets?! Saw three bears set made by Bigjigs which may not be bargain but looked nice. May have been red riding op was after though...!

DrankSangriaInThePark · 23/11/2013 06:18

Thanks luggage- a perfume lab thingy is one of the few things on Dd's official list!

HarrietJonesPrimeMinister · 23/11/2013 06:55

Loads of beer on offer in Booths at the moment . £1 bottle.

StarvingBookworm · 23/11/2013 07:05

3bunnies not sure how much you wanted to pay but I'm sure I saw them in local Waterstones for £4/pack.

JustCallMeBaldrick · 23/11/2013 07:17

Nearly finished my shopping, but lurking just in case Smile

Ilikesweetpeas · 23/11/2013 07:22

Anyone going to Booths to pick up the beer mentioned by HarrietJones you can get a free hot drink with a Booths loyalty card!

Any recommendations for scarves for mum and auntie since my bird ones don't seem to be arriving?
