See posts 2 and 3 for links and info

Does anyone know if any photo sites have free delivery offers?
I usually use snapfish or bootsphoto. Snapfish have 50% off calendars but charge delivery. Boots can deliver to store but they've only got 25% off.
May have to go with snapfish.

Also, any free delivery for book people? Or is it just worth seeing if it comes up on one of their 24 days to christmas daily offers. Decided to buy hunger games for the 11yr old and you can get all 3 in the set on book people for £5.99. Cheapest I've seen anywhere else is £7.99 in the works. They're £17.99 on amazon

Just spotted this on facebook - Tescos, £2.79. Would be a nice treat for Christmas day breakfast!

DD has just written a letter to Father Christmas and suddenly decided to ask for a toy baby pram (she has a buggy fwiw) and changing bag to go with it. We have no space for a buggy! And she has more than engu presents but I'm feeling obliged to buy it as it was one of five things she has asked Father Christmas for.

Does everyone buy everything in the Father Christmas list and if not how do you explain it away? Or if anyone knows of a toy oram which folds to nothing?

If anyone is looking for a cheaply priced elf, the card factory has a cute one for 2.99, and sainsburys have a book and elf for 5. They also have a magic key and book set for 5 for kids without chimneys. Really cute! Home bargains has a night before Christmas book for 1.99 with lovely pictures, be nice for a present for children. And the ted baker gift at boots at the moment is very nice! Lots of people buying today.

I twitched today and bought a retro jelly bag for almost 2yo DD. It's so cute though and was 25% off. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Thanks eastmids, that's one ordered for DS1 and one for the present box

Reastie We have a toy pram from smyths last year that folds down small and comes with a changing bag. Will have a look to see if they still sell it

Scarlett Feel Unique sell Kiehls. There is 10% off at the moment and the website has a code for £10 off a £60 spend.

Reastie I'm having the same dilemma! Ive tried to get a few of the things that were on the Santa letters and original Christmas lists and thought I was done. But today DD asked for that JJ the pug dog FurReal friends which is over £35 on top of everything I've already bought im trying to just forget it but the twitching is getting worse!!

beaboo Ooh can you link to the retro jelly bag?

Ooh greenrabbit that sounds ideal...do you have a code for the 10% off

Scarlett - try Amazon for Kiehls too as sometimes they can be cheaper
Or don't forget Topcashback for FeelUnique

You'll get the codes if you go via Topcashback

Glad I'm not the only one with enlarging Santa lists.

I think I've got a genius idea to cope with the dolls pram. She's asked for a 'little' pram (ie fold up) but I've got her a sylvanian families baby set which has a pram. I'm going to go with that and we can have a joke about how Father Christmas must've thought she meant really really little and not quite what she was imagining.

The 10% is already applied Scarlett. The code for the extra £10 off is on the top of the page on their website.

girlwiththeyellowhat my dd has been going on about that jet for months, I refused to even let her write it on her list of ideas as it was "a load of plastic tat" (for £45!!!!) but for that price, she'll be one surprised and happy little girl come the 25th! Thanks.

Saw these Prosecco Gummies on another website and thought they'd make a great quirky present or secret Santa for someone, although not very bargainous I'm afraid at £6.50 plus £2 click n' collect

I am pleased wyldstile! Never sure if people would be interested or not so I guess it's always worth posting

Thanks greenrabbit and chocolate, sounded ideal but...got to the checkout at feelunique and put the £10 off code in only to find it wasn't valid for kiehl's! Grrr!

margarita unless you are blowing your budget to get the Jo Malone stuff & are more comfortable with a cheaper brand, then I would risk it & get an alternative from JM. None of their scents are duds and it isn't as if you'd usually get a chance to try different ones unless you're super rich. They've also brought out some new scents recently & your friend may not have tried them. Or is there a candle in the same scent.
It probably sounds as though I am getting a bee in my bonnet about this but JM products are a very rare treat in this house & I would hate a friend to not buy JM for me just because my favourite wasn't available.

DD has just announced she'd like a singing Rapunzel doll for Christmas - has anyone seen a bargain? Or have a Disney discount code they could let me have?

I never buy them everything they ask santa for - I try and get one thing. This has required some imagination this year because DD1 asked for a load of tat and a costume that isn't available in the shops. In the end I asked someone to make the costume rather than buy stuff that looked rubbish and would take up most of the budget.

My kids don't seem to remember what they wrote on their lists for long anyway.

FabFlo it was from http://www.sunjellies.com and there's 25% off today with the code SHOPSMALL25, which made it £6.25 including postage. They are £10 on NOTHS.
