mrsgotobed alwaysold thanks for the saltrock recommendations, they do indeed have one on the sale!
Do you know how their sizing comes up? I struggle buying online and knowing what sizes to get.

AlwaysOldBeforeMyTime · 01/10/2017 22:10

Sizing is unusual- I bought DH a large and an XL, the large was bigger than the XL Confused free returns though at least! My ladies one seemed Ok xx

Hi WhyamIbored, I got a red magazine subscription with free gift bag last year. Mine was rubbish and I regretted it- anti dandruff shampoo and conditoner and a load of self tan stuff I don't use. But I think other peple got different stuff in theirs and some peple got much better stuff, so its really pot luck.

For those with difficult older kids or adults to buy for, I highly recommend this site klevercase.com for kindle covers that are beautiful and unusual. They do a lot of harry potter themed ones too. You can buy them through amazon, but right now they have a sale on their website which makes them much cheaper direct. Free postage too. We bought one for my son last year (a Sherlock Holmes one) and he loves it. Just bought another for my nephew (Harry Potter one).

Ocado gave me the 9th. I'm a weekend smart pass holder, been with them years and I spend a bloody fortune with them. I'm well narked I didn't get the 5th.

SpaghettiAlphabetti · 01/10/2017 22:23

thisoneorthatone thank you for posting the 15% JoJo code that works against scooters. DD has outgrown her mini micro so just ordered a maxi one for her birthday.

Pambeasleyhalpert · 01/10/2017 22:25

Yes ditto re the Red goody bag - I didn't get the self tan stuff but did get the anti dandruff products. Other people had received some quite nice stuff though. IIRC it took ages to arrive too.

singadream · 01/10/2017 22:27

Bugger - went onto Emma Bridgewater site just now to try to use your code @squ1ggle and there's no free personalisation - I must have missed it. Buggered if I am paying a tenner for a name to be written on.

JDSTER · 01/10/2017 22:46

Just catching up with the thread. Thanks for Red magazine link. I also signed up last year and got anti dandruff shampoo and conditioner Hmm. I'm hoping I'm luckier this year.

SimplyNigella · 01/10/2017 23:01

Bonnes they aren't doing them this year, nice Christmas Nutella jars will be in the shops instead

Tickyboovicki · 01/10/2017 23:12

Have been scrolling but can't find it, what's this about Milton brown/ted baker etc for £1?!
If anyone can point me in the right direction with a link I'd appreciate it!

Pumpkintopf · 01/10/2017 23:23

Ticky it’s the online pound shop you need-

Pumpkintopf · 01/10/2017 23:24

www.onlinepoundstore.co.uk/product-category/loccitane/

L’occitane on the link above, search function worked well for the rest

Pumpkintopf · 01/10/2017 23:26

Whyamibored definitely Saltrock for furry bargainous snuggly hoodies-they are having a flash sale at the moment with free delivery, there’s a link up thread. I find them true to size.

whatwillicallmyself · 01/10/2017 23:26

Hi is the light box 14.99 and then you enter the code and get 50% off .ie 7.50 or is it 14.99 ? I can't see where you enter the code, thanks a million.

Also can anyone recommend a card making kit for boys I trawled through Amazon and ebay but they all seem really girly, had thought about adding some boys decoupage or something to a girls set but couldn't find any either, any ideas ?

bunningsbunny · 01/10/2017 23:30

I've just spotted the Lego City Undercover PS4 game at Argos for £24.99.

This is a couple of pounds more expensive than Amazon (and at Smyths it's £30), but it appears to have a couple of free real Lego vehicles with it (car Lego 30351 and helicopter Lego 30352) and a mini figure, the two vehicles are currently priced at £9.50 and £6 on Amazon.

DS wanted the game earlier in the year, around the time of his birthday and it was about £45-50 to buy then, without any extra lego in it.

Plus I spotted an email from Argos with a £5 off promotional code to thank me for being signed up with them for a year. I'm sure I've been signed up with them for much longer but hey, if they're offering a fiver off then I'm not going to quibble Grin

So have got the lot for £20, think it will make for a nice christmas present with the combination of game and actual lego!

beccarooney · 01/10/2017 23:52

Wow this is a fast moving thread! Just wanted to say thanks for all the posts - have ordered Hotel Chox and Red subs. The Lush Xmas range is cute as usual, but for those Harry Potter fans out there, I just ordered a sorting hat bath bomb for my DD on Etsy £4.50 but think worth it as so unusual. Shipping on top but topcashback too. www.etsy.com/uk/listing/273900754/sorting-hat-bath-bombs-harry-potter?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=sorting%20hatsorting%20hat%20bath%20bomb&ref=sr_gallery_5

Pumpkintopf · 01/10/2017 23:56

Whatwillicallmyself you go through to checkout with the light box then there’s a space to enter a promotional code-pop the code in and it takes it down to the reduced price.

Pumpkintopf · 01/10/2017 23:58

Just checked-the code took £7 off so the light cost me £7.99.

whatwillicallmyself · 02/10/2017 00:02

Thanks a million @pump just looking for a game to go with it to get free delivery, did people say the double adults version is fine for kids mine will be 3 and 8 so not sure whether to go for the kids dobble

beccarooney · 02/10/2017 00:07

Oh and have just noticed topcashback have a referal offer on. If you sign up using my code www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/member952102017028 you get a £5 bonus when you have earned £10 cashback and I get £15. Just in case anyone thinking of signing up ... Runs till 10am 2 Oct.

Pumpkintopf · 02/10/2017 00:22

Haven’t got Dobble myself so can’t help but I’m pretty sure others said it was good for kids.

margaritasbythesea · 02/10/2017 06:16

Wow Thanks for the link to Klevercase Wiifitmum. They look brilliant! And everything ten pounds it says on the home page.

Reastie · 02/10/2017 06:37

Singadream Ocado like you depending on when your Christmas slot is sent to you as they seem to vary from the beginning to the end of October. They haven't even mentioned Christmas slots to me yet so they must hate me!

Thank you for the wallpaper comments! Dd chose it!

Is that l'occitaine stuff in the pound shop genuine? It doesn't look quite right and the soap says l'occitaine au bresil not au Provence, although it may be the Brazilian version and how they brand it Hmm
