I'd like a fraught excluder ...... :)

woodwaj · 16/12/2015 08:23

househunting that's so annoying. Its no where near as good but the rest of my order came today and it had a code for 20% off in there. Happy to route through the recycling if it's the best around?

So after much nagging gentle discussion, I've finally been furnished with what the DGC would like for Christmas- apparently it consisted of an airy hand wave and a vague "get them anything, they won't notice"

So I need gifts for 4 DGC, 3 boys and a girl (aged 1-9) Last year in a moment of inspiration we bought (different coloured) GAP hoodies and chocolate, thus satisfying both adults and children in one. Can't really do the same this year so was thinking perhaps PJ's? But where from? Both lovely and bargainous please Xmas Smile

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 16/12/2015 09:20

Hatleys pjs are lovely and surfdome often has good offers on.

Twinklefuck · 16/12/2015 10:11

Toblerone try the range, they had a few last week

Stillunexpected · 16/12/2015 10:24

Toblerone large garden centres with gift shops often have draught excluders.

LibidinousTurkey · 16/12/2015 10:36

Thank you fueled, after an hours trawling I think I've settled on FatFace for the two eldest and Joules for the younger two. Am now off for a lie down

DeloresDeSyn · 16/12/2015 10:51

Thanks Casablance but bloody Harry Potter's out of stock now! GRRR!

Libidinous there is a lot of almost matching stuff on here www.funkyrascal.co.uk/ that suits boys and girls- Scandinavian brands. I put all mine (boys and girls baby to teen) in the Maxomorra stars in different styles and they look fab! Lots in the sale too.

We have also done sibling rules t-shirts before, we made them up ourselves here, clother2order

RoastieToastieReastie · 16/12/2015 12:20

I'm looking for Christmas hair clips or hair bands. As many and as bargainous as possible (can wait until after Christmas). I'm thinking of giving a couple in Christmas cards next year for dds school friends as little token gifts instead of chocolate coin. If anyone spies any in the coming weeks please let me know (preferably online) Thanks.

The Matalan half price sale is great, I am now the proud owner of so much stuff I didn't know I needed... Christmas pudding sack anyone??? Xmas Grin

Primark had lots of half price pj's today, I got some for pre-teen DD and her friends.

RoastieToastieReastie · 16/12/2015 15:55

Fabflo that sounds perfect but there's no way I'm now going to brave primark before Christmas or in the sales!

Does anyone else have a Boden voucher they are not using? I'm after a couple of t-shirts for ds. Smile

woodwaj · 16/12/2015 17:51

I got my free book not long ago from lost my name, out of curiosity I checked to see if I could claim further books by referring more people...well the answer is yes you can! It looks like 3 extra of you lovely people used my previous link and it's allowed me another book! Thanks to those ladies Flowers and a tip for everyone else just to check your accounts :)

asuwere · 16/12/2015 18:24

Delores love those sibling rules t-shirts...have bookmarked for later in year as I must not buy any more stuff, I must not buy any more stuff Xmas Wink
