No exciting thread title this time I’m afraid...

As previously, if you shot a link in the OP links isn’t working/no longer in date, please let me know by posting in bold so I can easily see to update Thanks

If I’ve missed anything good from any last threads onto the list please let me know.

That amazon throw is out of stock. Sad

We bought some frozen onesies from the link mentioned above, the site took ages to load and crashed a few times but eventually went through Flowers

I am now looking for gifts for a few adult women.

Also need to get a balance bike for DD, has anyone seen a bargain? Although it may be something which is worth splashing out on a good one.

Flowers everyone and especially reastie for starting these threads.

Missed the throw again.... out of stock / unavailable now.

MsBug · 05/12/2014 10:58

Thanks lobster they do look good but I think a bike would last her a bit longer.

MsBug · 05/12/2014 11:00

Ps what are these womdee scarves that I keep hearing about? Are they any good?

Theonlyoneiknow · 05/12/2014 11:09

Thanks for new thread! I have been reading them since they started but still haven't got my brother or my dad their gifts yet! EEEEEEKK

mummy2angel · 05/12/2014 11:14

My sister works for M&S and has been told occasion/party wear and nightwear will be 50% off very soon. She thinks it will be this weekend so keep a look out.

Thanks so much to everyone posting bargains on this thread flowers I am trying desperately hard not to buy anymore for DCs

zipzap · 05/12/2014 11:36

IN haste - Asda £5 off a £40 spend - today is the last day. not very clear what it's off - only gifts or anything but worth a try if you're shopping there anyway!

use code GIFTS40

HavingAnOffDAy · 05/12/2014 11:40

Thanks all. I lost my job on the day STBX was supposed to be signing up for a flat to rent so things have been a bit rubbish to say the least.

I've now got another job, starting Monday, so the small amount of redundancy I got will definitely be being spent on extra pressies and wine. As long as there's anything left in the shops by the time I get round to shopping!

I bought the Cath Kidston Christmas Organiser thing last year but thought it was too nice to use Blush. I'll be digging that out tonight & getting sorted!

Thanks for these threads & all the fab contributions Smile

Home bargains has massive sledges for £3.99 and great Christmas tree and snowmen cookie cutters for 59p (I think)

marne2 · 05/12/2014 12:22

Yankee candle online seem to have a offer each day, today's is 'spend £20 and get a free wick trimmer worth £4.99', never knew I needed a wick trimmer ( didn't know there was such a thing ) but my friend mentioned needing one so I bought myself some candles to get her one ( I'm so thoughtful ).

livinginhope87 · 05/12/2014 12:42

livinginhope87 · 05/12/2014 12:47

Balance bike for 27 ish on marks website not sure if that is good

WUME · 05/12/2014 13:18

Baby Annabell is £25 on Amazon at. This is the new version and I haven't seen it this cheap anywhere.

I paid £31 a couple of weeks ago and thought that was a good price

Move quick though - you know what Amazon are like with their prices.

LittleMissSparklyGreenTinsel · 05/12/2014 13:18

Lovely animal puppets half price on Barefoot Books page until Dec 12th.

MsAspreyDiamonds · 05/12/2014 13:28

Alternative to the arctic throw, which has now sold out, the mink throw. Dsis has ordered 2 for gifts, will report back on the quality.

PurpleHebe If you aren't set on buying Urban Decay these www.muastore.co.uk/eyes/eyeshadow/palettes in undress and undress me too are supposed to be excellent knock-off's. Beauty blogs rate them really highly and they are only £4 each

Wume- I can't find the Baby Annabell you mentioned up thread. Any chance you could do a linky?! Cheers x

chocolatereindeer · 05/12/2014 14:37

littlemisssparklygrren I'll see you there!

greengagemutantgingermyrtle · 05/12/2014 15:06

I need a lego chima flying phoenix temple thingy, I should have bought it a few weeks ago when it was £60.99 in JL cheapest I can fin d is £70 now :( Anyone seen any codes that could help? ta :)

bettythebuilder · 05/12/2014 15:06

Think I'm getting a bit Christmas giddy as I've been giggling away at the flying monkey recommended with the throw on Amazon (why didn't I see that before? I really want a flying monkey for dd now, but I'm sure it won't get here from Hong Hong in time for Christmas!) and Trixymalixys 'whole Salmond' in Morrisons (so that's what he's doing now!!)

I'm in need of help- has anyone seen any russian doll stacking sets in the shops?

I'm also looking for a purple coloured wheat-heaty-warm-in-a-microwave thing, maybe lavender scented if poss. Haven't found one when out shopping, and I don't really know what they are called so my googling has led me nowhere!
