Sorry for not posting a linky and thank you Pobspits for doing it for me!

Can I ask a Flavourly question please? I used someone's code to order a box of beer for my brother and I wanted to do a hamper with some nice foodie bits. Can I use another Flavourly code? Or if not, where would be good to get some interesting crisps/nuts/olives etc?

Fluffy how did you get so much chocolate so cheaply???

haribo calendar

Haribo Advent Calendar 300g - £19.99 on Amazon UK... However, if you order via Amazon.de, you can get exactly the same one for £9.95.

The BHS hampers arrived today and I'm pleased with them for the bargain price. Not worth the 'original' price though.

The dates of all three of my hampers were good till at least spring 2016.

I'm so close to finishing. I think I'll have to bow out once I've got my last few gifts (unless I see a bargain worth posting of course) to avoid the twitch as I'm already a good few £££ over my budget. But it's been a really crappy year so splashed out more then usual on those who helped us through a terrible time so I'll just stop updating my spreadsheet and bury my head in the sand from now on Xmas Grin

Does anybody know what the proem is with the Cineworld Christmas gift sets? Every time I go on the website they are out of stock/you can't order them. Thanks

Did anyone who ordered the bargain gumball machines from BHS end up receiving them?
I went to pick mine up today and was told I had received an email cancelling the order. I had checked my emails and hadn't. The assistant said it was because they were OOS but then went on to show me a rack full of them and said I could buy them at the higher price so not out of stock at all then.
Annoyed as DS has three parties this weekend and the machines were supposed to be the presents.

FireflyGirl · 11/11/2015 17:28

Notso they had gumball machines in Home Bargains for £2.99. Not as tall as the BHS ones, or as nice looking, but good for the price.

I think I need an M&S musical biscuit tin...

woodwaj · 11/11/2015 17:35

notso that's really annoying! I can't believe they didn't honour it. I'd email a complaint I think!

mummy23kiddies · 11/11/2015 17:35

Is the M&S musical biscuit tin in store only?

Doughnutsandflapjacks33 · 11/11/2015 17:36

Saw the musical biscuit tins in M&S today, they looked lovely, I bought them last year for a few relatives. They also had lovely boxes of mixed sweets for £6, they contained snowy jelly babies, chocolate covered popcorn, marshmallows and a couple other things, I thought they looked quite good as a alternative to a selection box.

BeaBoo · 11/11/2015 17:40

Think I'll get the M&S tin for my dd's childminder. Thanks for the tip!

Notso · 11/11/2015 17:52

I have emailed them woodwaj, thanks FireFlyGirl was racking my brains all afternoon trying to think where I had seen some other ones.

Pobspits · 11/11/2015 18:07

Hmmm I'm waiting on gumbLl machines to be delivered but I ordered them later, after everyone else on here. We'll see.

Asda had big bags of playdoh in their sale today but I couldn't see how much for as dd was with me.

winewolfhowls · 11/11/2015 18:08

I received my gumball machine ages ago sorry

MaryMagdelene · 11/11/2015 18:18

Just got my visa bill! I really need to step away from this thread Blush

PjDay · 11/11/2015 18:26

Notso I collected my gumball machines last week.

I had my gumball machines delivered to store last week. I would email or tweet them to find out what's happening.

Going to have to hide the thread soon, I've spent far too much money Blush

Peppaspants · 11/11/2015 18:47

Some brio sets on tk maxx website-not amazing bargains but some nice additions if you have some track etc already

trixymalixy · 11/11/2015 18:48

I got my gum ball machines last week too. I can't believe anyone would have paid £10 for them! There were tonnes at full price so maybe they'll discount them again.

ShesAStar · 11/11/2015 18:58

This Works have a discount of 15% when you spend over £20 - offer code is GRA15. Offer expires 13/12/15
