Thread 6 - the one with Terry’s chocolate organs

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

Hobbycraft have 20% off full price orders on Thursday with code CLUB20- not sure if you need to be club member to use this- would suspect possibly you do!

Beady boo I also got my EB mug within two weeks of signing up.

You can join the club on their website & get 15% off but obvs this is better offer. Might be worth a look for people looking for sewing machines, craft items etc
I'm thinking of getting decorate your own teepee for DD.. should be enough time to get it decorated, even for me lol! Plus it will prob be for her bday in January anyway..

I need to find an IPod touch or similar (needs to be able to put apps on) for under £60....I think I'm asking for the impossible

Just tried the hobbycraft code & it seems to work online now although I've not completed checkout- email def says Thurs only
They still have the Christmas trees in stock- down to £4.80 if you use the code
Also email I received gives lots of ideas for diy advent calendars & says they have free demonstrations in store this week of how to make

@DillieDoily in case you still need it 46UA gives 20% off and free del/returns for Boden - should be valid up to 8th Oct (just worked for me now)

@Reastie - which Goodhousekeeping did you get sent?
I was a bit later than most to sign up and the first issue I could get was the Christmas (December) copy. So I'm wondering if my mug will only come just before the magazine?? straws clutched

married and minster I find camelcamel price history charts great as you can see what time of year things have dropped price in the past. I find that the RRP of things are often inflated so something can look like a great bargain, whereas the price history gives a much more accurate reflection of what things are worth.

The problem with shopping closer to Christmas is that there is stiffer competition to get the bargains. Even as it is you have to be quick off the mark at this time of year.

But you can definitely lose as much as you save on this thread, because it's hard not to get swept up in the excitement.

Lego fans will like these half price prints at qwertee down from £8 to £4 until 10pm tonight.

Some other good prints there too.

I have a hype £4.97 code for use today if anyone wants it

I'm going to do my niece a hamper she is 13 got few stationary bits can anyone suggest other stuff to put in? Also was thinking of putting it in a toiletry bag anyone seen any nice ones suitable for older girls many thanks

lots of lovely toiletry bags in primark but new look is worth a look too.

i would add face masks. maybe a victorias secret or britney body spritz. lip balms. hot chocolate sachet, nice cup and whirler.

if she likes hair and make up i would get false nails, compact mirror, mermaid or unicorn make up brushes. tangle teezer. unless she is like my 13yo dn who has miles better stuff than me

slithy I would love it please.

@Haudyerwheesht I'm really pleased with the Lego tape. I've tried it with a genuine brick and it stuck fast, had to bend the tape right over to lift it off. I got it from Shop2979007 on AliExpress for £1.88 for a 92cm length free shipping and it arrived to UK in three weeks.

DD wants Heelys for her birthday. I have no idea where to start! Two wheels or one seems to be the big decision. Any tips?

I got sent some codes if anyone is interested? Just PM me if you want one!
£60 off £100 spend with naked wine
Free toucan box
£20 off first & second gousto box
£10 off Charles Tyrwhitt (any spend)

imsorryiasked thanks for the info. Ordered that for DS who has been asking for lego tape.

Tesco have a half price toy sale & the Live Pets mouse house is down to £15. There's also a baby annabel in a Moses basket & various buts of Playmobil

Thank you to the posters who linked the Amazon lollipop pens (many threads ago) and the bargainous purple Helix set. Both have now arrived and both are fab!

(Kicking myself not to have bought more maths sets at £1.67 though. They're still at less than £3 but it's not the same)

Thanks imsorryiasked off to order some!

Istepped-if you're not bothered if it's new buy a 2nd hand iphone-use it without a sim. I've done this for ds7 with his grandad's old phone & it's great!

mammyaroundmadness what about an initial mug - H&M, M&S, Next etc are all doing them, sparkly nail varnish, earrings, fluffy socks, lip balm, bath bombs/fizzers, gel pens, some sort of scarf, book voucher

Eitak how about a monkey-keeper experience for your DH?

you will either love pieces or hate them - bit marmite but quality in my limited experience is good. P&P is £5 though - I bought friends DD the strawberry pendant and another bee earrings and both loved them
