Bargain thread 4: the one where we all await our Molton Brown orders

[Reastie]

As ever links etc is are in message two in the thread. Apologies if I've missed anything good out, please do let me know and alert me to anything not working or expiring

My MB order hasn't arrived either :( I'm getting worried, it's nearly last post.

Our Home Bargains had the Frozen Fever busy book as well as the normal Frozen one, £3.99 each, a bargain compared to £7.99 that WH Smith are asking.

Wondering who I can send a potato to now...

I went into a Timberland shop today to buy a wallet for DH and got 10% off by signing up to the mailing list at the checkout

My MB awaiting pick up from store

How long did your MB order take to arrive in store from when you ordered Joycey29?

Thanks eastmidswarwicknightnanny for the Octonauts/Matalan tip - ordered the Build A Gup set as a birthday present with the 20% off code.

My MB order arrived in store today, I think I ordered Tuesday

I picked up my MB order this evening and I'm really pleased with it. The gift box is a nice touch too. I ordered Tuesday so really quick delivery to store

Valium - these are the paw patrol figures I've ordered - not too fussed if they aren't great for that price but should make a good stocking filler for DS!

OhHolyFuck thanks for the link. One potato winging its way hopefully at christmas to a hard to buy for male friend! I love it and wouldn't mind one myself

Some people have mentioned their dc like Bing and there not being many Bing toys around - my dc a bit old for it so not sure about it exactly - but there was a nice looking comic (maybe one off the BBC special ones) that was dedicated to Bing and had several character in plastic on the front, approx 3 inches high, that looked quite sturdy.

Would be a nice little present - I put something like this rolled up into my dc's stockings - to take up space plus lots to keep them quiet on xmas morning, be it looking at the comic or playing with the figures.

Thank you so much trumpton
I assume the voucher can be used on any day of the show? Me and my then dh (argh! 36 days until we get married!!!!) really want to go!

Unicorn lovers Matalan have a money box. Discount code up thread.

Rumour has it the boots star gift this year is the Ghost Girl fragrance gift set, I think it has make up too and it's usually £75. No idea what it will be priced at -£35 maybe?

Week. This week.

Unicorn money box at Matalan here www.matalan.co.uk/product/detail/s2609726/unicorn-money-box--20cm-x-9cm-x-19cm

Yes the voucher can be used from 25th ( when the show opens) onwards.

Your DH wants to go ? He's a keeper ! My DH OF 40 years would rather stick pins in his eyes ! Which is why I go to London once a year to do lovely things by myself !

Ps I think IdealHome magazine also has the voucher in it.

RJ it is the ghost girl set, my local boots had them all stacked out ready for tomorrow. There was make up brushes in it, not sure what else as I was just passing to collect ds antibiotics.

Has anyone bought anything other than toys of Aliexpress, like cups or drinks bottles? Two frozen water bottles for €8, which is pretty good considering they're about €10 each over here.

love the Potatoe message OhHolyFuck !

I wish I could think up business ideas like that (and how to market them)

Deedee I bought some cups last year with pictures of Anna and Elsa on them. Was really pleased with then until I realised I didn't know if they were bpa free or not. Fortunately the pictures wore off quickly so I could bin them without the kids protesting too much.

There are loads of cheap reusable bags on ebay which could make nice little extra presents given the removal of free plastic bags.

There are lots of plain ones but also others that fold down into a strawberry or a rose, a clown fish, a pig, a panda, duck, dog or cat, more animals and even more animals and a final load of cartoon animals and characters

Cheapest starts from about 50p up to the animals that are less than £2 if you go through the US ebay - bit more if you go through the UK ebay.

Thanks for the Claire's tip - got dd (5) a bag, rings, earrings and hair band for £7 delivered :)

Thank you Lovely

Ah that's what I thought Neeko! I was reading the description and it says it has CE/EU certification. What does that mean anyone?
