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

Dartington are you sure your order hasn't gone through? They emailed me for days saying they'd saved my basket and had me doubting myself, but I'd had the confirmation and have since had the delivery. If it hasn't, could you trying contacting their customer services to explain what has happened - maybe they would honour it?

Doistay I think so - I haven't had a confirmation email. Good idea about emailing them.

Free Yankee Advent Calendar at Yankee with purchases over £35. Free postage too. It is the new style triangular one.

Thanks for the suggestions - popped into our local Wilkins and not a knight to be seen. I think the Melissa & Doug may be too young as dc is 7 and the youngest. eBay and charity shops are my friend for this I feel

If anyone is buying from Weird Fish, PM me and I will let you have a promotion code for an extra 15% off if you are a first time buyer. I get the same off my next order (if I need anything else!)

It was me re Transformers, thank you Luckiest!

Just went for a browse on the White Stuff website and they have the following offers

Spend £65 and receive a £15 gift card
Spend £150 and receive a £30 gift card

Gift card only valid until 24th December though.

Catching up - thanks LookMa for the Smyths recommendation for hot wheels!

If you have Quidco, check if you have been given a £10 'opt in' incentive. I'm not sure what qualifies you for one, but it gives £10 back on a £50 spend at House of Fraser, Debenhams, Very or M&S.

Thorny i would second wilkos for figures, but can you wait till the January sales? Last year they were reduced to 50p each - we had all sorts - Knights, soldiers, princesses, witches, unicorns...

Admiral I haven't read through the full thread yet so someone else may have answered you but last year I bought my dd a mlp busy book which had a spoke figure, it was an amazing bargain actually, I think the busy book was £4.99 and it came with about 20 figures, a play mat and the book itself. I don't know if they're doing the same busy books this year but might be worth a look.

For knight figures would you consider playmobil? We have a wooden castle similar to the folding Melissa and Doug one and use playmobil with it as their knights are brilliant. We were lucky to get a bundle second hand, best £10 ever.

Quite niche, apols, but am buying myself an early Xmas present of sewing patterns from Oliver and S - 40% off until Fri with HOLIDAY2016

AmyAmeoba try this eBay seller for gorgeous decorated fairy houses at £9. They have several different colourways. I've just ordered one and their customer service is fab. I've asked for the roof to be left detachable so DD can easily put her fairy in and out.

Any koala fans - I came across this sweet little chap for £2.43 while looking for care bears. He's very cute. 13 cm tall and good for a stocking filler.

Koala soft toy

Also this 20cm beanie care bear for £5.99. DD hasn't asked for him but she's getting him! I think he's cheap because his fur is different to the others. It doesn't look furry.

Love a Lot Bear

Not sure if this is a present exactly, but these are on discount on Amazon right now, down from £15 to £10. They stay warm all night long and are lovely alternatives to hot water bottles! SnuggleSafe Microwave Wireless Heatpad

Does anyone know of any H & M codes that are floating about pretty please.
Also, for those hard to buy for older parents who don't really need anything ( like mine ) I stumbled across these enchanted-earth.com/garden-wind-spinners-16-c.asp the other day and hopefully my parents will like it! Just thought I'd chuck that idea into the pile..

angryangry no my link to the eyeshadow was a quick google. I have no links to the company, just sharing a nice gift idea

Wondering if the link did that because I went to cash back site first. Anyway nothing dodgy honest.

I saw these Santa's Coming To..... books in Waterstones last week, they look really good and loads of town to choose from. Our local version had lots of well known places in it, I think my 6 year old will love it

Can anyone help with a code for 11 degrees?? My godson looking for stuff from it! Thanks in advance

Thanks for the busy book idea! I'll have a look for one!

Are NOTHS likely to do a Black Friday code does anyone know?

Random question alert-can anyone please recommend a good Christmas cd? Struggling to find any that have all the xmas party songs on and aren't £££!

I really wasn't suggesting you were being dodgy! The re-directs made me wonder, must have been my phone then.

I know this has probably been asked but does anyone know of any bargain and preferably unusual my little pony gifts please? Thanks

Anyone seen any good deals on veuve clicquot champagne (or however you spell it!!) ?
