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

DS has Fitbit charge her and I've bought DH one for bday. I do think they are lacking in that they just track steps and not gps it... So you can't see where you've been! However, I like the idea of th m having little competitions and I'd be up for having entry level Fitbit to join in. (Not bothered by hr or sleep monitor) will stick to my garmin when running.

I am happy too pick up a Mog toy from my local Sainsbury's and post it too anyone that is struggling to get one?
Just let me know and I will be there tomorrow morning so will check stock then.

nomanjan I got an engraved wooden Xmas dec for grandparents from my kids, engraved with 'grandma' and 'grandad' respectively, they are beautiful and arrived within a few days. Credit to someone on here linking a few threads back. I can't find them on eBay now, they were £2.50 each, but the seller was shadowwooddesigns

mrslebon I'm hitting m and s on Friday, how do you get 20% off, or is it automatic? vainly hopes they will still have advent calendars

Just tried opening a new Very account but the code doesn't seem to be working for me.

Romcom - I believe they are posting vouchers out. I haven't received any so I'm not sure who is going to be receiving them. I'd say M&S cardholders but I am one! There's still time for them to arrive of course.

I can't get the feelunique 10MSE25 code to work

It finished weeks ago caffeine, it was only live for a weekend.

Marks place

So I am on the downward slope of present buying, only my Dad to buy for as an essential gift, but I have a few bonus presents for the children that I would like to pick up if I can get them at bargainous prices.

I'm pretty bloody chuffed that it's done but I do now have to post it all which is going to be sooo expensive

Now the food shopping...It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

NoManJan - do you have a ceramic cafe nearby? I've done footprints on mugs and finger prints on ceramic stars (which they cleverly turn into Santa/snowman/ Christmas tree and add neat writing with name and dates) for presents from DS1 to GP's before never bothered with DS2

Oh I love the idea of Xmas decorations and footprints on ceramics, just the kind of thing I think would go down well. Thank you Romcom and Chocolateteabag

I missed the whole last thread.

I'm almost finished, just need stuff for the Christmas Eve box, so I should probably stay away from this thread too.

Nomanjan I have some nice photo frame tree decs which would be nice with a photo of your DD in to
mark 1st Christmas. They were a present so can't do a link.

This is a bargain, amazon deal of the day -tangled, little mermaid, snow white and sleeping beauty £14.99

Aldi had statuonery sets in for £1 today - got ds a Star Wars one and Dd a disney princess one no gender stereotyping in this house

My sister can be a pain but has bought my dc 2 mogs so I am being tolerant!!! Dd already loves the Mog books and I've bought the Christmas one even though I said no more twitching but I'm not sure ds will really want a Mog but then if he does and I can't get one......

Anyone got any ideas for Dh I know it's been done loads - have got him a wallet ninja, Kevin bridges dvd and Scotland rugby top. He loves stone roses but I couldn't get tickets and can't afford the inflated resale prices :( otherwise he likes all the britpop era of music, he travels a lot with work, likes action films - what's been out this year at the cinema we might've missed??, likes football, isn't into male grooming other than the basics....

Can anyone remember when snap fish usually do their amazing deals on calendars please?

Anyone on a Mog hunt, they seem quite good on Facebook at replying about stock. Also IMO the plush non-Sains Mogs sold in waterstones etc are much nicer quality!

For cheap and cheerful pressies from small DC I am attempting to make these - theimaginationtree.com/2010/10/salt-dough-handprints.html

Also I've just bought this Scalextric-style set for my F1 loving DDad to play with his grandchildren, it has generally good reviews and box looks fab www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/3925807/searchTerm/Carrera.htm

Pigleychez How about something from White One Sugar He does modern railway style prints/cards - maybe of somewhere they've visited?

I bought one as a gift and it's lovely [santa]

M&S 20% off as mentioned up thread 19th to 23rd. If you have a Sparks card it is already loaded with the discount. Just present it in store to get 20% off. Better than those pesky paper vouchers!

Lovelyweather - I did salt dough hearts with pre school kids last year
Biggest too I can give is don't go for too high a heat when drying them or they will go yellow/brown
Apart from that unused mix will keep for a while in the fridge wrapped up and there are loads of ideas on Pinterest too (dip in dinosaurs feet for tracks etc)

The white company have sent me a £10 voucher. I get one most years but do spend a fair bit stockpiling winter candles from September onwards.... Was in with latest catalogue

My Geek box is coming today!
The DHL parcel turned out to be an Amazon one

pob how about a date night voucher - you could organise a babysitter sometime over the Christmas period and take DH to the cinema to see either the new star wars or James bond movie?

Place mark until I find a bargain to report!
