[Reastie]

See posts 2 and 3 for links and info

Just got back from the 99p shop with my red and white candy canes!! And a lot of other stuff I didnt need

Home bargains is just down the road so willhead there tomorrow for whoopie cushions!

Thanks for all the links and tips - off to investigate them now

woodwaj could you link to the aliexpress seller please. The pocket watch looks great! Thanks

I can't remember who recommended the RNIB address book for my nan, just wanted to say thank you very much. The space for writing is huge! I'm sure she will be very pleased.

Just been to pick up the bargainous dr dre beats from Tesco. Thanks for whoever posted them last week

I ordered a my little pony hoodie on Oct 27th and haven't received it. The latest date for delivery was nov 27th so have asked for a refund. Did anyone else have these problems?

has anyone seen bargainous Christmas pudding binbags?

I only really want to spend £1 or so , I keep checking local Poundland but no joy. They had them last year.

Trav - I got pudding bin bags at home bargains if you've one of those close.

thanks Jammy, unfortunately no HB. Judging from the number of references on these threads, I may have to move house to be near one

Thanks for the Hema recommendation, ordered a selection of items (mainly stocking fillers) last week, arrived today and are great. Some different ideas too. I got cashback via TCB too

Saw this on FB. Minecraft blockopedia down to £8 from £30

Yes me, I ordered two of those mlp hoodies and neither arrived, got a full refund though,

mummytron I ordered a backpack from aliexpress on september 16th - it turned up today.
I opened a dispute about 2 weeks ago, which was granted at the end of last week.
I honestly thought it was never going to arrive; not sure what to do now.

Thanks for the Blockopedia tip. Ordered that and a Jurassic World annual so got free delivery. Was after both so that was good timing.

Anyone know if Argos have another big toy sake before Christmas? Or do any other large retailers?

Brewhive looks good - never heard of them before though so I googled to find reviews, and stumbled across Andi Peters selling them on QVC!!!! He must hate Philip Schofield. I always preferred Andi. Anyway on QVC they are 12 for £25, so the deal earlier really is brilliant. If it tastes nice.

Just got Sons of Anarchy seasons 1-7 on DVD for £24.99 on amazon. Hoping FIL will like it as he wants 'a surprise'...

Thanks for the Disney movie rewards mention, reminded me to sort ours out and I had enough for Inside Out on DVD

Can anyone recommend a good site for buying posters? Specifically under the sea/ fish/turtles/seahorses etc
Have looked on Amazon but quality varies so would prefer a recommendation.

suitcase sorry for the delay I haven't a clue how to link from the app so hoping this works!!

Oh yes, and I also need a photo of Santa, the elves and reindeer!! Please help! I'm sure this is just a test to see if he's real but would love to be able to pass it.

ChristmasFairyLights DS2 has got 'photo of you' at number 2 on his Christmas list this year as he wants to see what the real santa looks like... Not looking forward to that!

(Mind you it's easier than ds1's number 2 item on his christmas list at the same age - to be lord high master of the universe and everything in it.... amazing to see two such different personalities emerging despite being brought up pretty much the same

Fabflo we got some self inflating whoopie cushions off Amazon last year & they've been brilliant as you don't get the children pestering you to blow them up all of the time. Less of a choke rusk too.

zipzap It is funny the ideas they have! I'll let you know if I find a good one.

My MLP hoodie didn't arrive, (not sure if it was the same seller, I got mine via eBay). The seller sent a second one via airmail and that arrived quite quickly.

Oh yes, forgot to ask, how long does la redoute normally take to send stuff out? My order seems to be taking a while.

zip zap look at the app Kringle and take a video shot of Santa in your own home. I'm having great fun with it!
Or use Santa cam or similar to get a photo of him by your own tree, print it off and leave it on top of his stocking

same here whatsonyourplate - ordered 26th , it just says 'in despatch' on the order. I'm supposed to get a text to click and collect
