Thread 17- it's all about the advent calendars

[RoastieToastieReastie]

Rubbish title I know, I panicked! And we are collecting a lovely collection of different advent calendars.

See post two for links etc

Pearson Lidl had gingerbread house kits last week when I was in the shop near me

M&s eau de toilette festive house is reduced from £45 to £15. No idea how to post a link, sorry

Sharpies at their lowest ever price on amazon

Thanks Trumpton and HideHide found the biscuit tins an have bought two, mentioned it to a couple of colleagues who have bought another 12 between them Do you think M&S would pay me commission?

I just bought the paw patrol busy book in my b&m. I can post to anyone if needs be

Person re Lakeland gingerbread house kit. of have this one and don't rate it at all. I also have an older version of this and it's fab, I love it.

mrsdiddly I'm painting egg boxes this year to give homemade chocolates because I'm only giving six per person.
Have a look on Pinterest if you're feeling crafty?

Has anyone seen the M&S christmas chocolate tree in store? The one in this DM article? I can't find it online and I really want it

My book people order arrived yesterday when I was out. Left on my front step and box looked like it has been opened but contents all still there.
E mailed them to let them know ( and hoped for a little discount code my trouble but no)

Book people service has really really gone downhill imo
So much so I've cancelled my account

Wonder Mike ask them on the Facebook site? I suspect it won't be released till they've aired the ad or something?

There was loads of Mrs browns boys stuff in B &M, at the end of one of the aisles

Could anyone help me with a Cry Baby doll? I've already bought DD's presents but she just proudly told me she's going to ask Father Christmas for one of these. She's only four so I feel obliged to put one in her stocking! They seem to be £29.99 everywhere but I wondered if anyone had seen one cheaper? They look awful, £29.99 is heartbreaking!

Wonder I saw one yesterday in the m&s food hall near me. I think it was all milk chocolate though.

Thank you ZIGGY for the M&S eau de toilette festive house. My tweenies who think they are teenagers will love them.

olympia horse show tickets have come up on groupon for anyone that likes a Christmas horsey activity a week before Christmas. I've been on groupon tickets the past 3 years and they are always very good value and make for a nice treat.

They are hideous, Shesastar!

I looked on German and French Amazon for you but they're no cheaper on there! They have them in SmythS and Argos, and I think Smyths at least has a code for £5 off a £50 spend if that's any good for you?

I'm getting DC to decorate mugs for grandparents for Xmas.

Where's the cheapest place to get white mugs (avoiding IKEA!)

Cheapest place to buy pens that can be used for this?

Wow these and FIL and I'm done!!

I would love to go to Olympia again but no way with DS
Thanks for all the help with Alex rider I got it from the works but sadly missed the 20% off
The person looking for Mrs brown. If you type in Mrs brown merchandise on Amazon loads comes up.
Thanks for next referrals offers will look back and PM

The marabu ones from Amazon are very reasonable. They sell them in hobbycraft too, I've had good success with them.

Thanks for the heads up on the Sainsburys stop motion animation kit. They had lots in my Sainsburys Local so I got one for my niece's birthday.

Do I need a code for 25% off Jack Wills ?

wheat

White stuff code is XMN-UZSH

ihatethecold Jack Wills code is FRIENDS25

Got some of the M & S recordable message biscuit tins for £5 tonight - thanks to poster. Girls have done merry Christmas grandma messages (etc) but 2 didn't work when we pulled the tab out (you're meant to pull tab out, press button it bleeps and then you record message) so got a exchange them now - pain having to go back into town.

So.... If you're getting them check you get the bleep before you leave the shop 😄

Also Thorntons have 20% off with CLOUD20

They also have a 3 for 2 deal on various chocolates which include advent calendars.

These 2 offers stack, so quite pleased with my purchase this morning. Delivery quite pricy at £4 though. It is free if you spend more than £35, which i wasn't.
