Tkmaxx has lots of men's sheepskin slippers.

DH, who never gives a thought to what he would like, before 23/12, has mentioned he'd like some Gap jeans.
Thats just 2 days after the 40% off promotion!!!! What are the chances of there bring another similar deal in Dec???!!!

IHeartkingcastle any duplo I have bought has had a lot of space at the top of the bucket (although been about a year since DS3 was given any).

Lil, search Etsy for bunting (you can select uk only of you need it quickly). Loads of lovely sellers there.

IHeartKingThistle · 12/11/2014 21:30

Thank you LittleMiss! I figured they must be like crisps and half full of air!

Reastie, our kitchen is a long way from our bedroom (and kettle is old and inefficient) so dp could set it to boil as he gets out of the shower and walk downstairs all dressed and dried to the freshly boiled kettle.
Our old kettle is a bit knackered so we need a new one anyway, this was the PERFECT impulse buy Grin
On second thoughts, I'm sure the novelty will wear off on day 2 when he clicks it to boil and it has no water in it. Bye bye gimmicky kettle!

xBlueberry88x · 12/11/2014 21:34

Reastie re I kettle my dp lovessss tea and gadgets so the idea of both just works but £100 is to much and i know he would agree!

Insomniastrikesagain · 12/11/2014 21:35

Ta v much to Elvish and ihatethecold...will research those possibilities and report back!

HangingInAGruffaloStance · 12/11/2014 21:48

Anyone got a pumpkin patch code? Thanks!

JammyGeorge · 12/11/2014 21:59

Hi, just got a camel alert that amazon have ninja turtle figures for 4.99, think it was Leonardo!

evelynj · 12/11/2014 22:13

Dammit, now want ikettle & fitbit flex thing.

M&s outlet had some sheepskin slippers-slip on ones I bought dh some for £25 down from £35, ( if he doesn't wear them I will!)

reastie where did you get the silk thermals? I've been umming & ahhing about them for a few years.

My tk maxx has a fair bit of neom stuff in & it smells divine, I used to only get the candles but the body stuff is yum too.

Sleepstarved · 12/11/2014 22:21

Damn missed cheap kiddizoom on Amazon and Fitbits showing as 79.99 on Boots online -didn't even know they stocked them!

lookingforbaubles · 12/11/2014 22:26

re the pg tips monkey - i also have a zillion tea bags now for the points only to discover the elf/santa suits are all gone

i did find them listed on ebay tho so got one for much less than the cost of the tea bags ive bought!!

Hmmmwhatnow · 12/11/2014 22:26

Thanks Vino I've decided to get the dreamhouse post christmas ready for her birthday and hope its on offer before then.

Going to get the barbie camper van if anyone knows the best place to buy!

andadietcoke · 12/11/2014 22:27

Thanks to whoever mentioned Oliver Bonas up thread - I'd never even heard of it until today and then saw one at Euston. Five minutes later and I'd bought the cake mug recipe book (also not on my radar before today) a wine cooler 'corkcicle' that I thought would be a good emergency present, and a mug for my sister that she definitely doesn't need.

OutThere... I can recommend Immyrose on Facebook, they're local to me but assume they post. Also part of HJP interiors, both connected.

o0 · 12/11/2014 22:44

Thanks, lookingforbaubles, that's saved me buying loads of tea bags!

Shame they've sold out though Xmas Sad. Will have a look on eBay instead.

Pikkewyn · 12/11/2014 22:46

Outthere -DD1 some from a company on FB called Cotton Reel Kids - it was a present for DD's birthday from a random family member but is beautiful and well made.

Anyone know where I can get the 'Guess Who?' game for £10 or less??

Thank you to whoever posted about the Christmas toddler bedding at Asda - I searched for some last year and the only stuff I could find was custom made and too expensive, so I'm very happy to hear about the Asda toddler bedding.

temporaryusername · 12/11/2014 23:00

snowgirl Smyths seem to have it for £9.99 so if you can find a code for postage or collect it that could be an option?

snowgirl1 house of Fraser and smyths are showing it as in stock and online @ £9.99.
