Thread 8 I'm a bit disappointed his horn isn't bigger

See post two for some handy links

@TheDrs When I made one for my DD I asked in my local pharmacy and they were more than happy to give me some empty medicine bottles and syringes for free (I did say I was happy to pay I wasn't being a CF!). They may have just been having a friendly day but worth an ask maybe?

Matalan are doing spotty family pyjamas this year for charity.
Someone on another thread says Hatley black Friday sale is good for family pyjamas.

I have a referral link for 20% off at Biscuiteers (I get £5 credit). PM if you would like it.

Am off to get my EB mugs now - thanks everyone!

Not really a Christmas present bargain but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Travelodge are doing 30% off until 8th October for dates until January.

I booked two hotel rooms for four people (separate transactions) 9 days before xmas in Edinburgh for £60 but it can be used across the uk.

Thought it would be good to make it our Christmas night out there/do shopping/ Christmas markets and compared to local hotels at that time of year is very cheap.

Superdrug deals this week.
Real techniques lip set £19.99 down to £7.99 and Victoria secrets spray £8!
Teenage sister and neice sorted!

tweedy have you tried their biscuits? I was given an iced one for my birthday and I was really unimpressed. It was so so dry and it just disintegrated into crumbs as soon as I bit into it. It was supposed to be chocolate flavour and it didn't even taste very chocolatey. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend.

Ok, so I don't actually need Eb mugs. Nor do I have anyone to buy them for. But still tempted

Ravensburger 07562 Jigsaw Puzzle 2 x 12 Pieces 'Cinderella' for £5.23 at Amazon.co.uk

I agree. Biscuiteers biscuits look beautiful but are really foul to eat. Even my two young children refused them after I Had rejected which is unheard of. Think it's all about appearance rather than flavour.

Elizabeth I thought maybe I'd had a duff one but it seems not if others think the same. They won't last once people realise they taste like sawdust!

ChristmasUnicorn thank you. Using your instructions I got 3 EB mugs for £20.

Yellow I used your referral code.

Very are doing 3 for 2 on a lot of gift items including toys. Might be worth a look for some of the larger items especially if you're a new member and can get an extra 20% off!

@christmasunicorn Thanks for the EB link, great bargain (once I'd sorted it!).

I've ordered the Cadbury retro boxes from Superdrug. Slightly more expensive at £5 each, but free delivery, so will send here to the Channel Islands. Doubt anywhere here will sell them!

I must be being a bit thick here because very time I try to do the EB mug thing I lose the 2 for £30 offer when I add the polka dot mug- what am I doing wrong?

Wisest

Argos do Aeropress for £30, you can use nectar point vouchers in Argos if you have any.

On the nectar desktop you can search for "e-rewards", register with them & take the surveys which are worth 100-300 nectar points each.

I've been saving mine for ages & I've got £115 so far to spend on my Christmas shop. You can link nectar cards to online shopping & pay online using nectar points.

Dhs points are being saved for the January shopping.

I rarely shop in sainsburys but I still get loads of points.

Could you thread a bit of thread/twine/thin ribbon/rustic string through the hole of the Joules label then attatch with a tiny safety pin? Much like a high end boutique place would!

Pleased to hear things are better toblerone x

Lots of ex-display Converse reduced offcutsshoes.co.uk/collections/ex-display-converse

Big LOL dolls in stock at Tesco!

I'm being dopey too. I can't get the eb links to work either

I used a referral for EB, put the extra code in and my basket said £20. Brilliant. Then I came to buy it, and it goes up to £29.90, including postage of £4.95. What am I doing wrong?

Playmobil Children's Hospital camel says it's the lowest price it's ever been on Amazon

Kids claw machine RRP is £44.99 which I think is a bit steep but the reduced price of £19.99 seems better. My kids love the claw machine in the arcades so getting it as a daft gift!

John Adams Blo pens set down from £29.99 to £9.99

I never managed £20 for 3 mugs. I managed £26, which I was happy with, so went ahead with that. By adding others codes, it lost the 2 for £30 code for me.

I used the £10 off from below, sent by @christmasunicorn near midnight. I also used WELCOME15UK for 15% off, and here is my referral link for the free polka dot mug ( it gives me £15 off a £75 order, not sure I'll use it).

Sorry it's not a proper link, not sure how to do it on the app.

blizy thank you, my nieces are now sorted too!

Neithernow I didn't realise you had to add the spotty mug to basket yourself, I assumed that it did it for you with the referral code

Once I did that, used the referral code, then the extra code, it worked fine!

Word of warning: the Spicery box is labelled as such on the outside of the packaging. DH just told me it’s arrived. Good job I’d decided against it being his present!
