Tesco have tartan wrap

Ilove if you still need a French connection code CYBER got me 25% off yesterday

Interesting about asking for refunds on price drops.

I was a bit miffed about the book people having an extra 10% off on the black friday sale the day after I ordered. Did consider cancelling and reordering but couldn't be bothered for the sake of under a fiver.

I've been to actual shops today :) bargains included lovely deep red glass mason jars £1 each in pound world. They look so pretty thick glass too.
Home bargains had orchids lots of different colours £2.99 each cheapest I've seen anywhere.
Marks have their biscuit tins half price.
And if anyone needs Star Wars rebels season 1 HMV have it in a 2 for £20 offer or £12.99 cheapest anywhere at least £3 cheaper than Amazon.

Stompeez £4.99 here. I seem to remember someone was looking for them.

I spoke to two different people at Amazon , one on live chat and one on the telephone regarding Disney Infinity 3.0 and neither would refund the price drop. I only it bought it 2 weeks ago - both said it was not Amazons policy.

I emailed.

Please can I pick the collective MN brain for ideas? For a 70 year old couple - but a young 70 yo couple! In the past I've done the hamper idea with food, fizz and cinema tickets, a Scentsy candle, a garden clock ...

No particular hobbies but take 3-4 holidays a year.

What do you get the folk who have everything ...?!

Thank firefly, wasn't me who posted but my children will love them :)

Chip, maybe national trust voucher or membership, restaurant voucher, fancy cheese like Tete de moine........? The last was a huge hit with a similar couple I buy for.

Apologies if it's already been posted but Argos have Now TV boxes on offer. I just got one for £19.99 (plus 3.95 same day delivery) with 4 months free sky movies but they're also doing 6 months entertainment passes. We've got one and they're fab; you can get all your catch up channels in one place, the passes are usually £9.99 a month so it's a great saving

Don't think I've seen anyone mention this before, sorry if so, but has anyone seen a code for the Dukeshill posh food company? DM is doing an order (she does this annually) and I wondered if I could help her out.

Chipinthe sugar - how about a visit to a vineyard?

I've just had a CCC for the big playmobil castle £110 down to £75 again same as last week. If this has come down it might be worth a look on Amazon if you are in the market for some playmobil incase others are reduced.

Ho ho ho

Or afternoon tea at a lovely hotel? Theatre vouchers?

The Playmobil castle is brilliant. DCs had it from Santa a few years ago, it was all set up with knights around it mid battle when they came downstairs. Their faces were unforgettable :o

It's a bugger to store though!

I want to do Christmas Eve boxes for the family that always come to us on Christmas Eve for a Christmas film and buffet dinner. The boys are nearly 8 and nearly 13. Will they just think it's stupid? Or if not, what can I put in their boxes? I'm going to do it instead of their Christmas present so could spend up to about £25 each. My girls are 2... I have no idea what to get for older boys!!

nearlyadoctor could you buy again and then return the new one as the first one if that makes sense?

Nearly, as the above poster said return the original one and buy again at the cheaper price.

Thanks xici gutted that one doesn't seem to be working anymore. Might end up buying from self ridges with their 20% off

Thanks - I think that's what I shall do, so much for Amazons carbon footprint!

Just in case anyone is doing stockings for teenage girls I would suggest a visit to the make up counters in John Lewis et al and ask for samples for her sensitive skin I got 2 clarins samples today come in little boxes too no issues just said wanted to try before asking for full size products as Xmas gift.

No submarines need me. If anyone sees one in the me please let me know I have a Beatles mad little boy who would love one. Thanks.

Near me that should say

Marks and spencer have 20% off 6 bottles of wine. They also have half price bottles of Kir Royale and Cassis and Clementine Bucks Fizz so £3 per bottle or 6 for £14.40. That's my teacher and teaching assistant gifts sorted.
