Free graze box with code BOX52 and BOX53.

Not single use as they included a duplicate leaflet with the same ones repeated. From my gausto box- which is lovely the first time I have have had one. Not Christmassy, but meals for four days with all the ingredients. 50% off first two boxes if you use my link, but I get £15 too so feel free to use a friends link instead.

gousto

Also £10 off at tress bikes with GOUSTO10 no idea if that is any good.

Finally three issues of the simple things magazine at link for £8 with code GOUSTO2017 no idea if it is any good, but flyer looks interesting.

Ice cream DD was also 2.5 & we were also at the in-laws for Xmas the year she got her play kitchen. She was so excited by her stocking, the few other cheap presents from us & the bits from her grandparents & uncle that she had no idea her "big"
present was missing. As we'd set off for the PILs on Xmas Eve, I got DH to get DD in the car whilst i carried the kitchen in from the garage, put a sheet of wrapping paper over it & a massive bow on it &a large envelope with her name. We got home on 27th, went into the house & DD spotted it & asked what it was. I pretended to be surprised, suggested we opened the envelope where I found a letter from Father Christmas saying he hadn't been able to get this down the granny's chimney so had decided to leave it at our house. She was so excited. It ended up working really well.

Help! Have been putting off 14yo DN present but have realised she's got her birthday before Christmas!
Reads a lot, not into makeup, quite immature really TBH.

I have a 15% off code for jules if anyone would like it :)

This purple dolls prank according to ccc averages at £38, but is currently £20. It has good reviews.

pram

cookiefiend · 25/09/2017 14:27

Sorry (kids are home sick today and we are stuck on the house- can you tell!) this poopy head game, which looks awful to me, but has great reviews is at its best price according to ccc-£9.98. Might be nice as a family game over the holidays depending on the age of your children.

poopy head

I desperately want to order more gifts, but am stuck for ideas for people. Sigh.

IceCreamIceCream Mellisa and Doug do fab metal trolleys or shopping baskets with a bit of play food they would go well with a toy kitchen.

drspouse · 25/09/2017 14:34

Popsicle that's slightly out there but might be a contender!

IceCreamIceCream · 25/09/2017 14:36

Thanks guys the travel kitchen is so cute!!

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 25/09/2017 14:37

*@Pinkyboo20 * thanks so much for Jan Constantine stocking link. Had been after a stocking for baby ds2 and found a lovely one.

Only gutting thing is £6 delivery. I'm  Angry considering I know the second class rate for a small parcel is under £3.

Have you bought from there before? If quality is as lovely as it looks I'll gulp down the p&p.

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 25/09/2017 14:38

Gah! Sorry for the shouty post Blush

Pinkyboo20 · 25/09/2017 14:47

@ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual £6 is very expensive for delivery.

We have two stockings and I love them, the quality is good.

Birdofathousandvoices · 25/09/2017 14:51

Used a pact referral - acey's I think. Here is mine!

Birdofathousandvoices · 25/09/2017 14:51

Ps gives £5 off for you and me

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 25/09/2017 15:00

@Pinkyboo20 thanks. I think I'll kick myself if I don't go for it, so I'll checkout through gritted teeth Grin

TellMeItsNotTrue · 25/09/2017 15:09

My wonka golden ticket personalised book is on its way, I can't wait to see it! I didn't opt for the scent (wasn't sure how long it would last and it's 3 months until Christmas) but I did get it in hard back

Thankyou to the 1 person who has used my link, 2 more and I get a free book for the recipients little sister, just use THIS LINK for 15% off your first order (there is a range of books but I love the wonka one) and if 3 people use my link I get a free alphabet book

WhyamIBoredathome · 25/09/2017 15:51

cookiefiend what did you think of the gousto box in terms of value for money? Full price seems extortionate and even half price is seems a lot more than I'd pay for 4 meals if I shopped/cooked myself.

WhyamIBoredathome · 25/09/2017 15:55

What does the pact code get you? It doesn't seem to tell me unless I enter all my details first.

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/09/2017 16:00

Re Lego. Do they not have a spare parts service like playmobil do?

tiggersdontlikehoney · 25/09/2017 16:00

why in the end you shoudl pay £1.95 for a £5.95 packet of coffee
The postage is free so it is £1.95 total
See upthread, others have done it
You get a good sized bag of coffee for that
Plus a voucher for naked wines - £60 off a £100 spend if you choose to use it
You can then stay subscribed to pact coffee and pay a regular fee, or just stop the subscription when you have your free bag

Oh and at the end you will get a code which you post here for the next person

Enjoy!

TheOnlyPink · 25/09/2017 16:03

Anne can't see anything about the smyths offers in ireland, nothing in social media either. Typical. Angry

For ROI bargain hunters, next are doing €15 off orders over €40, you get a code when you buy something instore, need to give them your email address.

Also, anyone with access to a student card, sign up to unidays, loads of voucher codes. 20% off and free delivery at h&m, 20% off boohoo are the ones off the top of my head, but there's a good few stores in it.

HazeyBaubles · 25/09/2017 16:21

You can get lego spare parts Brickshop and lego do them too Lego Spares not sure how bargainous they are though.

MrsCrimbo74 · 25/09/2017 16:27

Groupon are doing a Starbucks £10 e-gift card for £5 at the moment, it's a digital gift card but I'm sure you could print something off to put in hampers etc.

WhyamIBoredathome · 25/09/2017 16:33

tiggers thanks. I'll have a proper look at the site. My normal fair trade coffee is about £2.50 a bag so not much less. Might be worth it if it's amazing coffee though.
