[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

Thanks to all who replied about diet coke presents - love the candle

Oops posted too early - the candle can't be delivered to the UK, boo!
Also great ideas re recipes/can coolers/bracelet - thanks again!

Have missed most of this thread... work really needs to stop getting in the way of Christmas business!

In store stocking fillers;

Tesco had cheerleader style pom pom's down to £1, matching batons for 50p, packs of six bubbles 50p, craft sets from 25p and boxes of duplo for £12.50.

Sainsburys had colouring books from 30p to 60p (originally £2-£3).

Poundland had lovely adult colouring books - I got a few patterned ones for DD(11).

Woodwaj where did you get your Jolly Christmas Postman book from please?

Picked up my molton brown order, really pleased so thank you! Also pleased with my free hand wash it's much bigger than I expected

Not sure if this has mentioned but Hobbycraft have this sewing machine for £12.50.

Showgirl the book people have the jolly Christmas postman for £4.99 atm and quite often have discount codes as well.

For the person who had a dc who loved the ocean, do you have the book flotsam? It's a picture book without words and the pictures are amazing, I have used it in schools with children aged 7-11 and they all loved it.

Can someone please give me the Whittard code?

So pleased with my dotcom gift shop order which arrived today. The set of 3 Christmas tins are lovely!
Has anyone seen any offers on Lego? It's for a 5 year old. Looking to spend about £15, ideally less!
Also, anyone got ideas for a 10 year old boy- I have now idea what they like at that age! Thank you

I've done another Milton brown order - I've reordered the ones I ordered for dd. my second and third orders are still pending in PayPal. They're in my mb account as processing but I've decided to risk a collect from store order. Hoping it's ready by Wednesday when I'm in Glasgow :-s Now, if the original mail order turns up what do I do?!

snowgirl that was amazon but I think its gone up to £4.99 now. Still brilliant though.

ihate I think the code is HOTCHOC If I remember right

sweetpeas have you considered a boots 3 for 2? Something Marvel for the 10 year old perhaps and I'm sure they have some lego/duplo for the younger boy? Then maybe something free for yourself

Woodwaj thanks, I hadn't thought of that. Only tend to think of Boots 3 for 2 for gift sets but I'll take a look at toys too

Ilikesweetpeas - What else did you order from dotcomgiftshop that you liked?

I like the mugs and spoons from whitard but can't justify spending that much on cups just for dd1 and dd1.

Anyone know where I can get cups with spoon holders cheaper?

ChipperNipper the pipe cleaner make your own decorations sets were good, £1 each- ordered them for party bag gifts for DD's December birthday, also a Christmas craft peg set and various Christmas cardboard cake boxes / cases. Thought that with free delivery they were good value- basically I looked though the sale section! Also got a couple of the flowery rucksacks and matching pencils as gifts for friends' children. The rucksacks are small but ideal size for under sevens. Hope this helps!

Phew. Just checked out Whittard website.
I'd have to spend £24 on hot choc to get 2 mugs with spoons!!!
Bit pricey!

I love these mug and spoons! (They have different styles)

Anorak fox doorstop £4.25 with free delivery! Quite delighted

The mugs are £7 each without buying the hot chocolate

Friendship book 2016 is down to £3.99 on Amazon. We all buy token presents for grand parents from the kids ( no presents for any other adults ) and they love reading the thought/message for the day so it's a great stocking filler if anyone is stuck for ideas

The hot chocolate is rather lovely though, if you have a chocolate snob then it is worth it!

I bought that hobby craft sewing machine Last year. It's total junk.

Glad you reminded me about the Boden voucher! Just got DN a fab horse t-shirt for £1.40 (mad on horses)
I hadn't even thought to look for kids as mine are teens now, let's face it £10 doesn't go very far in the adults section.

Admiral or English Rose, how do you get free delivery for Barefoot Books? As it says £2.99 for delivery when I put my order in. Thanks.
