Thread 7: stocking fillets and mince pies

[Reastie]

As ever links etc on post two

wood it's on Android, called Gift List. It's pretty good!

I have two codes for a free graze box if anyone wants them.

Oooh I'm ridiculously obsessed with the catch kidston cloud print (3 bags (2 are the same...bought one as a spare ) phone case, iPad case, lunchbox, phone background, lanyard (I don't use a lanyard ))

And I've found more on aliexpress to fuel my addiction! Thanks so much!

Lego I wanted the umbrella but they had sold out and I can't find it on aliexpress . Thanks Gruffalo I have downloaded what looks to be the same on the app store

Reported yet another post.

I have never been to Scotland, have no desire to go and would have voted for independence if we had been allowed to vote.

Maybe I should start a thread about those who care little for shops in Scotland?

I'm considering also ordering some of the Aliexpress Minecraft Lego minifigures that were linked to a few threads back eastmidswarwicknightnanny

I wanted to order some of the Frozen minifigures, but couldn't find any with genuine-looking positive feedback.

The Lego Movie ones I ordered last year looked great, although they didn't connect quite as 'snug' as genuine Lego ones. My DC don't tend to mix and match their minifigures, so I used a bit of superglue to keep their legs from falling off when they were lifted off blocks.

Just to clarify for those struggling to read, I love xmas chat but the nonsense of what shop is being buikt where is mindless drivel.

Take a long hard look in the mirror all those that find that an interesting conversation - I would suggest it is those people who need to get out more ...

Chipper
seriously lighten up!
no one cares.

Chipper there is no need to read posts that don't apply to you, just skip them and move on.

No harm is being done by a few local posters having a conversation. I rather like how chatty this thread is, it has made Christmas shopping online while housebound a bit more engaging.

I echo my enjoyment of the random chat.

A couple of threads ago someone posted a l'occitane link for a free sample - also on their website. I've been in twice so far and you get a loverly little proper pot which would make a cute stocking filler for no money at all, so if yiu have a store near you its definitely worth a visit

Matalan have 30% off some Christmas kids crafty bits and 'sweetest thing' items.

For the person who was looking for a Hulk costume in a small size, Matalan do from 3 years upwards: www.matalan.co.uk/discover/character-shop/marvel/s2607899/kids-hulk-dress-up-costume--3-9yrs

Out of stock online but worth checking in store? I saw the 4 - 5 yrs one today and it looked pretty small to me.

Also, someone was asking about M&S boxes of biscuits offers. I got some half price Extremely Chocolately biscuits yesterday - £3 for a box. The stag tin shortbread was half price and they've got a sort of Xmas tree shortbread thing for half price too.

FGS.People don't exist just to offer you bargains. These threads could go up to bargain thread 2076 and there'd STILL be room for more. Just skip past the ones you don't like and let it go now please

Ps how is baby chips doing?

Imaginext octopus thing down to £10 cheapest ever seen it just ordered it, works with the alpha walker I posted on a previous thread (apparently ds tells me they can talk to each other!)

Thanks leBon
that was me asking about M and S.

lebon those M&S chocolate biscuits are so good. Will have to stock up!

Chipper ironically you have taken up more of the thread winging and whining unpleasantness about what others are talking about than they have taken up with their pleasant chat.

Oh and to add to the lovely chat my Xmas bargain thread baby from last year will be one next month and has no interest in his bargain toys the tv cabinet drawer is more fun to play with

Ordered a CK bag for my DM, and some of the key rings for stocking fillers from Ali. My first ever order from there so hopefully it arrives ok. Thanks for the link y0rkie

Looking for a set of make up brushes for a 15 year old. Some of the nice ones don't look much iyswim? Tempted by Lottie London at Superdrug - any thoughts?

iggi when I click on my order of the swords it no longer appears and looking through the store they only seem to have Minecraft guns etc but no swords. It is the store someone posted above if you want to keep checking in case they come back in stock? Sorry!

Missed the new thread. Can't believe it's on page 3 already.

LET IT GOOOOOO, LET IT GOOOOO!!

Can't hold it back anymore!!

Another Scottish poster, we recently had a TK Maxx built nearby.

I'm pretty jealous tbh. We don't have an aldi, b&m, home bargains, wilko, tk maxx or anything remotely similar within a 20 mile radius.
