I have a White Company code if anyone wants it.

No idea if it's a one use thing but might be.

AN289

Gives 20% off and free delivery.

It doesn't say there's a minimum spend but does say it won't work on things already on sale.

Ive been banned buying 2 smiggle calendars as they are too expensive this year. The elves bring exciting calendars so need something great. Any ideas for 11 and 9 year olds at a reasonable price. thanks

Just marking place Smile

RubyFlint · 18/09/2016 22:51

snow the fact you're still asking is a sure sign you should buy at least one unicorn. I'd say one to share (with 2 sets of other unicorn goodies for them to have one of each). Have you seen the jelllycat unicorns? Maybe 2 of those as well as giant unicorn to save space Grin

That unicorn is adorable!!

StrawberryStar · 18/09/2016 22:55

Does anyone have a Matalan code? I've seen a cute dressing gown for DD but begrudge paying full price.

I'm also stuck on on what to get a 9 year old girl so I'm watching with interest.

torthecatlady · 18/09/2016 22:56

Thanks nosey! That's great!

Anyone else want a free polka dot mug from Emma Bridgewater?

It's when you spend £30 (not hard in EB!) plus there's free personalisation on mugs (up to 10 letters).

You get a free mug, I'll get £15 off a £75 spend Xmas Grin

Poppiesway · 18/09/2016 22:59

CurriedEggs · 18/09/2016 23:03

Styling thanks for the Tokyo Laundry tip. I signed up to their emails and got a further 20% off so 2 tops and a hoodie for DH for £24 delivered! Flowers

Scaredycat3000 · 18/09/2016 23:05

Unicorn battery pack I keep looking at these, but I don't really like unicorns! I think they're great, but all the other designs just not as good.

On the subject of Christmas pyjamas, I'd like to get dd a red sweatsuit/onesie that's not overly Christmassy so that it can be a quick warm outfit for after swimming next year but will still be festive for Christmas morning. Has anyone seen anything anywhere please?
She needs age 2-3, there's one on eBay but I'm not sure if it's quite right. Thanks so much

cookiefiend · 18/09/2016 23:25

leccybill · 18/09/2016 23:34

DD nearly 7 has just got into drinking hot chocolate.
I'm after a cute gift set of mug and sachets/powder if anyone comes across such a thing.

TheImprobableGirl · 18/09/2016 23:40

Two unicorns is almost mandatory

Wenchelda · 18/09/2016 23:44

I've just been reading reviews of the giant unicorn and someone said its wide enough to fit across a DOUBLE bed! Eeek! I've measured out the 45inches it says it is but I'm worried it's going to be even bigger than I imagine. I really don't want to have to send it back but I'm not sure we can physically fit it in anywhere Confused

leccybill · 18/09/2016 23:48

Those 'Christmas at the...' signs from Laser Smith as posted previously- I'm having apostrophe angst. Should it be there or not? Surname ends in n.

RubyFlint · 18/09/2016 23:49

Wenchelda. Someone posted on here that their unicorn lives on the bed in the day and on the floor at night. I thought we'd try that.

Tiggles · 18/09/2016 23:54

leccybill how about some whittards hot choc spoons and a nice mug to go with them. Not a bargain at the moment but sure seen them either 1/2 price or 3 for 2 before.

SnowBodyforrrrm · 18/09/2016 23:56

Thanks ruby that unicorn is gorgeous. Maybe I'll be sensible and get the twins one of those each they've never even mentioned a unicorn in their life 🙄

Thanks to all who posted about the photo blankets, I'm keeping my eyes on groupon now as well to try and spot a UK deal!

SnowBodyforrrrm · 18/09/2016 23:58

ziggy if it's any consolation, my friends daughter got one this week, she used her birthday money and thought she'd get more for her money buying the calendar then separate bits and bobs. Her mum posted of fb that the contents were appaling, cheap and many of them were already broken when she opened it up so not at all well made. She was returning it today!

SnowBodyforrrrm · 18/09/2016 23:59

^a smiggle advent calendar btw

Darkswan · 19/09/2016 00:11

Even though my dds have never seen the jellycat unicorn I feel like they need them! Dd1 has a jellycat bunny as her bedtime cuddly, plus has two others. Dd2 has a jellycat horse that she loves so much we now have three, in case we lose one.

Will christmas be complete if I don't buy them?!

torthecatlady · 19/09/2016 00:19

Just found a unicorn cookie cutter on eBay for 99p including postage. It was on the app, so cannot do a link. Just type "unicorn cookie cutter" in and it'll come up! A nice little stocking filler.
