Does anyone know of any discount codes or money off vouchers for smyths?? It would really help me to finish off the DC presents.

JDSTER · 09/10/2017 07:58

Also after Smyths or Disney store codes please

Carrie76 · 09/10/2017 08:06

Thanks peachy94, fingers crossed!

DillieDoily · 09/10/2017 08:26

Play doh pizza party is £5.99 at Amazon - I’ve just bought a few for the present cupboard

drspouse · 09/10/2017 08:41

Carrot finally I think that's the RC car we might want for DS!

prominent5 · 09/10/2017 08:45

Has anyone had an update on their Emma Bridgewater order yet?

NoWordForFluffy · 09/10/2017 08:53

Nothing yet!

WhyamIBoredathome · 09/10/2017 08:55

If anyone is feeling really flush there's a code for a £100 spend at occitane.
Code is SUPREME and gives you a free tote with 10 different travel size products.

CarrotVan · 09/10/2017 09:05

@Drspouse - our DS will be 5 in April so I'm hoping it's ok for him.

drspouse · 09/10/2017 09:08

The Amazon reviews suggest it's OK for a 6yo.

FlowerTink · 09/10/2017 09:18

@Carrie76 I ordered the big dolls house (the blue one) and it arrived in a big plain box that just said George Home on the side, so hoping yours is the same!

Sixp · 09/10/2017 09:20

I wanted to use one of the Emma Bridgewater codes (from referring someone) - £15 off £75 and the site wouldn’t accept the code. Disappointing.

RedBlu · 09/10/2017 09:22

I like these, www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CraftyBeanByJulie?ref=s2-header-shopname

Flamingos and Unicorns are lovely, I have a flamingo one and it’s really good quality and was a lot cheaper than most of the sellers on Etsy who want £50+!

I think they make them to order so you can make special requests

prominent5 · 09/10/2017 09:29

sixp I tried to use my code too and it wouldn't work. I have a couple of people using my referral code so tried them both a d wouldn't accept them.

This just popped up on my facebook.

Preorder LEGO® Adventures with Bricks You Already Have [[http://amzn.to/2wIb8qg]] book on Amazon.
And get a free printable activity pack by sending a screenshot of your preorder t the address on this [[https://frugalfun4boys.com/2017/09/03/lego-creative-writing-pack/]] by October 10th.

The book looks really good and I've ordered it for my 9yo Lego obsessive.

neddle · 09/10/2017 09:40

Well that was weird. I'll try again!

Oh dear, hope EB is not like hush-gate Shock
I’ve heard nothing but not surprising as I put my email address in wrong! Keeping an eye to see if the refund my payment but nothing yet...

LostMyRubySlippers · 09/10/2017 09:54

Just had an EB mailing list mail to my regular email address- it does say that you can’t earn more than 5 referral credits in 24 hrs so maybe that’s the issue sixp if a lot of people used your link??

Pidgythe2nd · 09/10/2017 09:57

Thanks for the Aldi referral code a few pages back. Just ordered a beautiful Christmas hamper for my brother and SIL WITH £10 off.
Here is my code if anyone wants to do the same (I'll get £5 off another order).

aldi.mention-me.com/m/ol/hr8vu-106829f5e3

prominent5 · 09/10/2017 09:58

I hope they don't refund but only time will tell I suppose. My account shows no recent orders but not sure if I checked out as a guest them created an account. It as all so stressful!
I only had 3 people use my referral code according to emails and only 2 were in 24hrs so no idea why it didnt work.

drspouse · 09/10/2017 10:05

neddle would those be good for our DS who gets a bit discouraged by "real" lego and tends to go back to his Duplo (he's 5)? Or are they a bit hard for a not very coordinated 5 yo?

LatriceRoyale · 09/10/2017 10:06

Does anybody have a zeek referral code I could use please?

drspouse · 09/10/2017 10:08

There's one upthread if you search Latrice.

neddle · 09/10/2017 10:13

Drspouse
Haven't got the book yet, but it looks pretty good. We've got some books where you need special bricks we don't have. I liked this book as it was actually for ones you already have.
Will report back when it arrives.

LatriceRoyale · 09/10/2017 10:16

Found them now. Thanks for the heads up. Off to check it out. Never heard it before reading about it here but looks like a great idea.
