Thread 6 - the one where the shark beds go astray and we try not to eat our chocolate hauls

Rubbish title but I'm off to bed in a min (it's been one of those days).

As usual links are on post two.

If I've missed anything good (which could be very likely as I'm getting back to work mode atm) let me know.

Lots of emoji stationery bits in Poundworld (not Poundland) today. I got the things in the photo (5 pack of stamps, 12 erasers, hardback notebook and large pencil case) but they also had 4 packs of gel pens, stickers stationery sets and cushions. The stickers are cheaper on eBay/eBay.com. I also got some Tinkerbell story books with CDs (they also had a Frozen one).

Hello!
Thank you for all the fab deals on here :-)
I got a few of those g&t sets from Amazon that look fab for £12 (I know someone said you can get them from sainsburys too, I would recommend) thinking of doing a 'night in' hamper with them, film, popcorn etc. I thought a fluffy blanket would be nice to go in, I'm sure people before have recommended some nice ones on here? Was it asda they're from?
Thank you!!

Also my husband has requested a track day, any recommendations for good places to buy one from or just a standard voucher experience red letter day type place?

Thank you all!

WuTangFlan · 15/09/2016 16:17

I definitely recommend the Wilko £5 blankets as the best I have found so far, much nicer than Tescos or Primark. Someone else had mentioned Asda, I haven't seen their blankets though (am now a bit obsessed with blankets).

BoaConstrictor · 15/09/2016 16:20

Thanks for the M&S code. Got a few bits I'd been meaning to get for ages.

mummymilkfloat · 15/09/2016 16:28

Ps not got many bargains to share, you guys are too efficient but I had some fab things from this website last year:
www.lasersmith.co.uk/products/christmas-at-the-name?variant=1055231337

I got some of the 'Christmas at the ...' Signs for couples that had got married that year which went down well. If you're crafty you could paint or decorate them but I thought they were fine plain too!
The baubles on there are very good value too, I bought plain ones and did baby handprints on them with the date for grandparents etc :)

Thank you WuTangFlan, will have a Wilkos trip!

RubyFlint · 15/09/2016 16:29

Dithered enough and decided to bite the bullet and order the porky scratchings advent for DH. Thanks to poster. He'll love it.

FlopIsMyParentingGuru · 15/09/2016 16:30

So I've just signed up to the Hotel Chocolat tasting club. assuming I develop some willpower how quickly have people been able to cancel their memberships? And have you just emailed on the email address they give?

LostMyRubySlippers · 15/09/2016 17:00

mummymilkfloat love those signs! Need to have a proper look at rest of site later

CarrotVan · 15/09/2016 17:04

I love that idea Mummymilkfloat

SolomanDaisy · 15/09/2016 17:06

Thanks for that link mummymilkfloat, I'm going to order a sign!

Snooky17 · 15/09/2016 17:09

Ooh thanks Mummy am wondering if I'm arty enough to paint the Christmas Eve boxes they look great

Shemozzle · 15/09/2016 17:16

partybugs minecraft figures from Home Bargains, £1.99 each. The had another bighger figure for £9 too but not sure how good a deal that one is.

mummy23xmaspuddings · 15/09/2016 17:23

Me and a friend went to the range today and got a few bargains. They had loads of bags reduced to 1.50 and 1.75 they had packs of Disney socks 1.25 for 5 pairs plus loads of super hero thirty for £1.25

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet - but Home Bargains have Minecraft figure sets for £1.99 and larger packs (with steve, bed, blocks x2 and sword) for £2.99. Picked a few up as stocking fillers.

CandyMcJingles · 15/09/2016 17:43

That's two laser smith signs ordered!
Some crafting for me and DD to do Grin
Thank you for that idea milkfloat

RoastieToastieReastie · 15/09/2016 17:44

Just to update you with the no show drones. After having no reply from the seller I emailed amazon directly who have refunded me. I suggest if anyone has passed the date the drone should have arrived to first message the seller and then when there is no response to contact amazon directly to get a refund. Did anyone get theirs?

My Clinique for men £5 trial kits arrived today, £5 is a bargain price, they are boxed and will be great stocking fillers. Came with £5 off your next full size Clinique for Men products ( not £5 trial packs) codes, so not a great bargain but have I three codes if anyone would like one?

Mipe · 15/09/2016 18:05

Reastie did you order the drones from either Fasun or Qianxing sellers? If so they have 'left the Amazon platform' (I ordered shark beds, helicopters and emoji cushions, nothing arrived but Amazon sorted a refund straight away) x

WuTangFlan · 15/09/2016 18:07

Cath Kidston has an Outlet page on its website with some good deals e.g. boxed Soy Candle £10 instead of £25.

WuTangFlan · 15/09/2016 18:08

Cath Kidston Make Your Own Notebook £5 - great stocking filler!

leesmum · 15/09/2016 18:11

Mipe I ordered 2 Drones from Qianxing how do I go about getting a refund please? Thanks, never had this with Amazon before Angry

DesperatelySeeking2016 · 15/09/2016 18:28

SomethingOfTheNight · 15/09/2016 18:30
