Gah! I jumped too soon & got the Playmobil hotel the other day. I still saved £25 or so (which I promptly spent on extras for it) but am frustrated that I could have saved more.

I have an elc code. Will pm when I get jome

All sale t-shirts £7.50 or cheaper, and I think these are fair trade or ethical in some way.

Thanks for that link MooseyMoo I want the James Bond 22 film collection, I know I should of got it when hmv were doing it for £29.99. It's now £49.99 everywhere so will hold out for that.

PizzaPasta the biggest boxed presents were always the most exciting!

Thanks LiverbirdNo1 it was me asking about Clarins. I'm on the verge of just handing over to dh as I thought in the past we'd got her shower gel/bath stuff but it all seems to be much more face creams and make up

If anyone could help me with my last two gifts then I will be forever grateful. I need some well priced yarn for crochet for my mum and a deal on a playstation TV for my DH. Any tips on either would be fab!

sorry - meant to add a thank you

Thank you linzer. 10% is fab as it is a £50 order so I was already getting free delivery.

I also got a free RHS diary for spending over £40. It looks like a decent hard back one so I can give it to my nan as part of her gift as she loves RHS stationery.

livinginhope what does your mum like to crochet?

SC17 will give you 10% off at Wool Warehouse.

Thank you Spaghettimeatballs - she is doing blankets and toys at the moment. I will have a look at wool warehouse. I have no idea about wool but am hoping to do her a 'dream weekend' hamper for a weekend away I have booked for her and this will include crochet bits.

have just placed an order with Tyrrell Katz - I have shopped with them for years, DC2 has the football design curtains and duvet cover in his room. It's all really good quality - anyway, they have a sale:
fab stuff

I got the RHS diary last Christmas, Spaghetti - it's very good quality and makes a nice present (I gave it to my Dad, who's a keen gardener).

Crabtree & Evelyn 20% off codes - VNV42806 in November & VNV42806 in December. Not sure if it is a one time or generic code

livinginhope Stylecraft Special DK is nice for making toys and blankets. It's an acrylic so it's not a posh yarn but it is soft, non squeaky and very reasonably priced.

It is used for making blankets for some of the MN Woolly Hugs blankets.

living try Kemps Wool Shop for cheap yarn. They often have very good clearance deals.
Deramores are excellent too, really good range.

That's good to hear linzer I was wondering if I should have chosen the wrapping pack!

The RHS diary with the book people is lovely, I always get that as the freebie for my Mum. The wrap set is shite apparently, though have never had it.

AuntieMaggie, last year I got the Yves Rocher Neroli Secrets d'Essence perfume set as my first item in the basket free. That is lovely if you like subtle orange based perfumes. Quite summery. Bit like the Jo Malone scents in that they are natural fruit/flower based and only one note (am trying, and failing, to sound like I know what I'm on about here ) There were 2 bottles in the gift set, I kept one for me (and wore it all summer) and flogged the other on Ebay (the bigger one) because I'd never have got through it all.

I don't know about any of the others though.

Are there any FURBLINGS on sale anywhere cheap other than Argos? My Argos is out of stock

(ceiling update: I now have a hole drilled in my ceiling to release the water down before the ceiling falls, next door is also affected, the men with the spanners have established the leak started above next door, so theirs is worse. Now everything has to dry out, and then dd gets anew bedroom on upstairs insurance.....)

I went for the wrapping set with my big Book People order this year, so shall report back (possibly not until next year's thread, as the order has gone to my parents' address in the UK)!

Has anyone got a Smyths code please? I've just seen the Paw Patrol thread......

It could have already been posted, but the free personalised video messages are available on portable north pole again

Totally rubbish as I can't remember the brand but I know it was a good one but tesco had coffee makers in with 60 off this morning making them 40 quid. Can't find them online so may be an In store offer.

I've been given a next code now .

Drank, I'm glad they're sorting it out (and that your dd gets a lovely new bedroom). They must have had an absolute ocean gushing about up there for it to do so much damage!

Delurking to say for all the codes and tips. I'm pretty much done now apart from the MASSIVE twitch I've just had with the Playmobil hotel on today's Amazon lightening deals

I have 2 Matalan codes going spare. One is £10 off a £50 spend and the other is £15 off a £75 spend. PM me if interested!
