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

30% off first purchase at New Look when you sign up to their newsletter

Does anyone remember what discounts ELC gave on Black Friday last year? Guy in store told me big city stuff will be reduced on Black Friday. Trying to decide if I should wait or buy now with £10 off £60 spend!

I've got a £10 off £30 Boden voucher, expires tomorrow

Code is XOE25KTN8JZT

Has anyone bought the Spode mugs? Just wondering if they are made in China? I got a set of Christmas Spode bowls a couple of years ago, and they were made in China sadly.

ASpider - I got one of the stop motion kits yesterday too - you can't use it in the double up as it's a charity gift (think it donates £2 for every one sold) but they just had a separate stand as you went into my Sainsburys that had an image of the advert at the top, then lots of gingerbread men in packets and the stop motion sets at the bottom.

Now having to consider the dc's presents as I've already bought ds2 the stickbot animation set for christmas but both he and ds1 would love it and ds1's pile is so much bigger at the moment.

15% off at Weird Fish with this code: WFMAY43 I just got my BIL a sweatshirt, free postage atm too.

carrie I think there is something on MSE about Black Friday discounts & suggesting what different retailers might be offering- can't recall if ELC on it but might be worth a look

Lookin for a sports direct code if possible.. my basket is huge and would like it reduced in price a bit if possible

Has anyone found the best iPad deals please?!

Also, I have been trying to order the marshmallow toasting kit, but they seem to have run out of vanilla bean flavour

The sainsburys near me (south east Leicestershire) has the Hasbro Cracker (guess who and monopoly) still priced up as £1.20!

10 days until we are putting the tree up :) squeeeee

Thanks for the m&s mention that decorations should be included, I'm a sad face tat I need a voucher as I was hoping everything would be automatically reduced.

Hide how does the recordable biscuit tin work? Can you play it back to check your message? Does it say the message every time you open the lid I hope so?

TOYS20 for 20% off at the natural history museum gift shop until Tuesday.

Thank you for the new thread.

Are there any discounts for mens fragrances, my DS wants Lacoste Blanc and I cant find any discounts to make it a bargain?!

Also, just been on Quidco and you can register your debit card to get cash back when you go real life shopping! (sorry if you know this already, I'm new to it!)

I got a little bargain this morning, I had a shopping basket of goodies with an independent online shop. I decided to be a bit cheeky and email asking if there was a discount code. They replied back that there wasn't but offered a personal 10% off code. I can't post the code as it's my name and also I don't want to abuse the kindness of the store but just wanted to post this to say, don't be afraid to ask for codes if you can't find one. Especially with independent retailers, you may get lucky

Yes you can record and re-record your message on the biscuit tin . Not sur about automatic playback upon opening . But can look later.

Random request from ds1....a huge plush snuggly snake. Has anyone seen anything on their travels?

Mama Ikea used to do plush snakes and I think toys r us do them too. Maybe Wilkos. Have definitely seen them around.

We have a plush snake from bristol zoo? Other zoo shops might have similar?

Mama try keel toys, I got my DS a huge 200cm one for his birthday, not sure it is particularly snuggly though, but very cool, he's also got a couple from our visits to the zoo yes we have a cuddly snake family

I have a 15% off Fogelberg code valid until 31st December: vivrelereve

Another looking for Canterbury stuff or anything rugby related ( not the England team though )

Did the double up vouchers at Sainsburys yesterday and bought:

1. PS4 (slim) with Fifa 17 less £40 voucher so I paid £210. Not a huge bargain but better than a poke in the eye!
2. 5 x TD Prosecco = £0
3. Bedlinen set (16) plus faux fur throw(30) = £6. Annoyingly, the throw seems to have been reduced to £22.50 today whereas I paid £30 yesterday but I don't think that I cba to return for a complicated refund and repurchase since it's already on DD's bed.

I went back today for 6 x TD bottles of wine = £0. Still have £70+ worth of Nectar points which I'm wondering whether to buy even more alcohol to stock up for Christmas/New Year/generic gifts.
