Thread 20 - I want a present shitting log

Nope, I have no idea what a present shitting log is either.

See post 2 for links etc and note the addition of a link with more info to the mn Christmas appeal, a very good cause if you're looking to donate to charity this Christmas time.

bonnielassie check out betwixt bath creations. They are a small business using only natural ingredients but a bit cheaper than lush. May be worth asking if they can do a discount for a bulk buy?

Persis I got a necklace from the jaegar outlet last year and it came in a jewellery box and I don't recall anything saying it was reduced (but wouldn't bet my life on it).

Smyths have 3 for 2 on all board games - apologies if already posted!

Thanks for the new thread

trixymalixy · 08/12/2016 18:38

Ooh thanks ladydep, I hadn't thought about trying lush!

Studio have free delivery with code 050. Worked for me and I'm an existing customer. Lots of cheap wrapping paper eg 29p - 69p for a 4m or 6m roll, £2 for 24m. I've stocked up for next year! Blush

beady - I have 20% off ladies cashmere with Sparks, could you try signing up and see if you get that offer too?

Ladydepp · 08/12/2016 18:52

I just had an email from National book tokens, free personalisation on their gift cards with code XMASFREE. Good idea for a book lover!

Did anyone keep the hotel chocolat cancelation instruction from last year? All my boxes arrived today!

GooodMythicalMorning · 08/12/2016 19:01

If you have a Crystals store nearby it's worth a look in as they've got half price pendants on at the moment. Just got a good bargain for my dm and dsis so they're nearly sorted.

Does anyone know if there is a discount code for George at Asda. Google is not being my friend and my niece really wants this.
(Wouldn't mind one myself either)

Can anyone give me any ideas for a 6 year old girl and a 7 year old boy.
The budget is about £25 each.
I have no idea.
Not lego.

Cataline · 08/12/2016 19:05

Trixy I got my 10 year old nieces the happy camper and irresistabubbles soap and glory sets from Boots. £5 each and on 3 for 2 so 3 for £10.

Ladydepp · 08/12/2016 19:09

ihatethecold - do they like vehicles? MIne loved diggers/tractors/race cars at that age. Or a Hot wheels set? Or trains? Dinosaurs?

Dressing up stuff also popular at those ages. Also dolls, either baby dolls or Barbie like dolls.

Nerf gun with lots of extra bullets. A football. Magformers are pretty great. My 9yo dd is not a fan of Lego but loves Magformers and they are 3+.

Ladydepp · 08/12/2016 19:10

Shuffle - nice star but it looks like it's sold out....

ihatethecold · 08/12/2016 19:12

Thanks lady

They have lots of lego already and I've already bought them the lego advent calendars.

She's not very girly so not into dolls.

Hot wheels is s good idea for him.

I keep asking my ds (their dad) but he's hopeless at giving me any idea.
I'm fed up of asking.

ihate I am counting down the years until I can buy my godchildren a marble run

NotSoNewNow · 08/12/2016 19:24

Another photobox code for 50% off everything (they seem to be a bit eager!) which is - 50DEC

Persis. How retro Grin

where can I get a cheapy mermaid tail for DD?

Thanks for other suggestions but don't think they'd work with DH or DF. DH likes wedding and portrait photography so not landscape/animals/birds. DF likes more the oldie folk/country singers as opposed to new ones.
