Ohhhh I need some of the salted caramel liquor too!

iggi if you are anywhere near Liverpool or Manchester Lunya (a tapas restaurant/deli) sell churro kits. They are delicious and only a few quid.

Chillychilly thank you! It was a long shot but I'm glad I asked now!!

Penguin, I have just bought a festive fleece at Next for DFriends birthday next week. It was £20 and has fleece on one side and teddy like stuff on the other. There are loads online to have a look at and I think someone mentioned they are offering a discount for opening an account if you pick up a leaflet in store, so might be a bargain to be had

I need to put together a foodie gift for a group of staff at a group my kids attend. There are 4 staff and it needs to be something they can share there or split and take home. The number of staff sometimes varies so I don't want to do a gift each in case i end up short. I would rather a joint thing. Anyway, I can spend between £15-20 and want to get the most for my money. Any ideas where is best to shop? I was thinking tea bags, coffees (they are outdoors a lot at this group and its cold!) and chocs etc. Should i just go to a supermarket or is there somewhere anyone can recommend?

Wiry, was it the one with built-in elf ears? I liked that one so much I'm wearing it now!

I know this is a bit boring but has anybody seen packs of scotch tapes that you use on those back of hand tape dispensers on offer anywhere.

Does anyone have a code for elc or mothercare? Thanks

Penguin - have a look at TK Maxx. This one is cotton but beautiful (they have fleece ones too).

Re salted caramel vodka, we got some in Aldi.
I did a recce of all pressies so far. Looks like dd2 is one short and then I'm done for the dcs. Trying not to twitch.

voldemortsbaubles I got mine from Amazon last week for £1.20 per pack. Dd then lost my dispenser! They're still at that price now, but are an add on item.

Thanks poppetina

Place marking!

voldemort lowest I've seen was tesco at around £1.50

Thank you sweetpea, have deleted.

I'm not spotting many posts telling me codes aren't working but am relying on you all to tell me

Voldemort I'm sure I saw then half price recently but I can't think where. I'd guess sainsburys, but can't be certain.

Please could anyone advise the cheapest place to buy a wii u?

the thorntons code is now invalid Thanks for the new thread

voldemorts I got one yesterday in tesco £1.25 for the dispenser and £1.25 for the refills.

I've realised we haven't bought for BIL, I'm thinking of getting him dart/dartboard cufflinks if anyone knows anywhere cheap?

MrsCocoa - no! Didn't see that one! Just a plain navy with a grey rim, ribbed. Yours sounds fab

On another supermarket note, the Morrisons stollen from their bakery is divine. £1.70, freshly baked instore, and inhaled by the family in ten minutes tonight

Best stollen I've ever tasted.

Not sure if this has come up but Claire's accessories have 40% off everything online black Friday special.

Any ideas for an amazing male teacher?? - equally amazing female teacher is getting a Molton brown bauble.

I am browsing Amazon and randomly chucking cheap stocking filler bracelets and what have you into my basket...

www.amazon.co.uk/Godagoda-Leather-Bracelet-Shape-Charms/dp/B0171ICTL6/ref=pd_sbs_197_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=51TZBgzJt-L&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL160_SR160%2C160&refRID=0J5QTFF18FZ0E9MD5YMJ

Lots of similar prices and I figured if it doesn't arrive till after, it doesn't matter. Some are China.

Hi Peeps. I ordered some Gap pyjamas for my very skinny 6yrs old DS but they drown him! Any recommendations for slim fitting pyjamas that aren't ott price wise? Thanks!

Theonlyoneiknow I have bought skinny fit PJ's from Next and H&M. They are the kind with leggings and a top a bit like thermals. Next are quite expensive for the quality but have lots of characters, H&M are good quality but less choice at my local branch anyway.

I'm done present buying but I'm marking my place for posh cracker bargains and very cheap last minute Xmas bedding

lovely weather, there was back in the mists of time and many threads ago, a 25% off the White Company, but I reckon 20% is as good as it's going to get now.

I bought a wii u for £179 including game and sky landers starter pack.
If anyone sees one cheaper before I collect on Tuesday please say so I can cancel it!
