Thread 11: no one mention slippers!

[Reastie]

Look to post 2 and 3 for various links and codes. I'm trying to keep up but if I missed something good ease flag it up

Ahh haa, x-post!

Link here Unicorn

Tee her. The 6" one would keep his feet warm! He has nerve damage in his feet due to his aneurysm and he's feeling the cold for the first time in his life. I will look on Amazon though.

TobleroneBoo I may have just purchased a giant unicorn from Home Bargains for DD. She has had her eye on it for a while, it's lovely and is now living in the back of my wardrobe until I decide how on earth to wrap it!

indyandlara In primark they had loads of lovely tartan blankets and fleeces not sure of price tho

Bath and Unwind offering a "free Elemis gift" with purchases today. (NB remember last year when we all ran for the free gift and it was a bath melt which was about 1cm square, so don't expect a mahoosive luxury Elemis gift!)

Just ordered this for friends little boy £7.77

Beaboo
we went to TKMaxx today and got my DNeice a cuddly elephant that you put in the microwave to become warm and snuggly, they had lots of different animals and costed about £7.99

If anyone is looking for jewellery gifts, Dinny Hall has 50% off the cushion collection here www.dinnyhall.com/collections/cushion it's gorgeous stuff for a special present

Wow thanks for all the suggestions! I didn't think of books, as daft as that sounds. That may be a really good idea as I can get them all in one sweep. **

Pinkladymel i originally wanted to get the money boxes for the girls as they had a unicorn and a princess but the princess box seems to have disappeared online I don't want to get them identical ones as they are sisters.

Sorry, should have added that the Dinny Hall discount is for 48 hours only

Rainbow there is a YouTube video of a very patient cat being gift wrapped ( apart from the head!) something similar perhaps or, as I would do, bloody massive gift bag

Thanks exasperated I just got loads of craft things from ELC.

I have bought my boys, 7 and 3, flashlight friends for Christmas. They are a cuddly toy with a torch in the tummy and I paid £7 each from amazon, they are super soft and would definitely be suitable for 2 years up.
If anyone does buy one check to see if there is a tab in the battery pack if they don't appear to be working! I didn't and thought they had arrived broken until I had a brainwave and checked. The air was blue before that though

Last year we bought a massive shark from IKEA and it looked awesome next to his presents on Christmas morning... So maybe unwrapped with a big bow?

ihatethecold card factory are doing 3 rolls of 3m of giftwrap for £1 (so 9m for £1). Waitrose also had nice giftwrap, as do Matalan :)

Freddie they sound good. Will look them up, thanks

Kavv do you have a link to the skirt? I'm a bit hmm with leather skirts to be honest. I quite like pencil ones with a mice top and heels on a night out but do think they can sometimes look a bit frumpy and try hard on some people in other styles.

I don't agree with the hooker comment but asked my husband what he thought about it being hookerish and he said sounds kinda like it! Men!

Few good bits in the ELC sale - Melissa and Doug sets for £4 (horse stamp set, a bead set, some wooden stacking toys, all down from 9.99) and the happyland or Toybox Christmas sets for £4 instead of £10.

Thanks for the elc link Exasperated. I got the Melissa and Doug nativity for dd for £8.

I couldn't find any cellophane wrap in Lidl Any ideas on where else to get some? Is it just our Lidl?

Ikea generally do a plain large fleece for about £1. Usually no colour choice. The furry one sounds nice though, I'm sure there was a deal on those last year that i just missed!

Knitpicks (us wool website, check you're on the uk page, free shipping to uk though) has an up to 85% off sale including some good quality wool and equipment.

Sorry, that's wrong - free shipping over £40. Also the uk site uses GB£s but still has everything described in US terms, I had to look up wool term conversions!

Exasperated I know! I was really in the fence about them til I saw one styled like a normal A line skirt with a jumper and boots. I'm still not 100% to be fair.

I can't see the exact one on the website but this one was very similar.
tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/tustorefront/STYLE%3A-PU-SKIRT-P21?pagetype=product&productcode=129145139-Black

Looks very much like the one in the vid tustyle.sainsburys.co.uk/top-to-toe-layering/

Sorry I don't mean to hijack (sprinkles bargains everywhere)
