Thread 12 - the one where we are all going to need fingerlings

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links

Referrals are sneaking into the thread, please use this separate thread thank you

The blippo Pokemon sweets have been out of stock forever, does anyone know if they're likely to actually get any more in, or failing that where I could get some for not extortionate prices?

Pigleychez try sports direct for heelies. They are reasonably priced not eye watering

Casablanca Amazon have a unicorn emoji cushion popping up fairly** frequently on their lightening deals for about £7

Just like to make a recommendation for Flavourly. We have had both the beer and gin subscriptions and they have been fab and really easy to cancel if you want to do it short term or as a one off. I'll pop a referral in the other thread for anyone keen.

I can't get the flavourly List16 code to work on the gin box

@Ginxed that's weird, worked for me yesterday. Are you using a brand new email as you have to be a 'new' customer?

The entertainer has crazy clear out on. Has a few board games and crafty sets etc for cheaper prices. Might be worth a look.

The bananarama game arrived today, it looks fab. Thank you to the
OP that posted the deal.

I packed today the DCs gifts today, and put them in our suitcases with a lock. I am tempted to buy an American girl doll for DD though...decision, decisions. Has anyone successfully bought a new one from eBay? I'm worried that I will spend a fortune and end up with a fake.

Casablanca there's a cute unicorn cushion in asda - £7

unicorn cushion

holy I worked it out, I was using a new email address, but had got the wrong gin box, I'd got the gift box not the subscription box! All sorted now and that's an ideal gift for either my DH or DSis, or both if I set up another email address for a second subscription

So I’m back in the market for a fecking fingerling... my dodgy £8 Amazon one never turned up so they’ve given me a refund. Judging by the reviews I’m not the only one who’s been let down. Oh well... DD hasn’t mentioned it for awhile so hopefully she’s lost interest - it will pain me greatly to pay £15 for the bloody thing

Hi lovely Christmas Bargain Hunters, just to say - I am the proud winner of the Mumsnet Halloween Name Change Competition 2017!
Thanks again to anyone who took the time to vote for me.
Ok, sorry for the diversion again Reastie! Let's back to the bargains!

Casablanca The Entertainer has an unicorn cushion thing in their clearance sale.

Well done Die.....

Congratulations on your win Die

Casablanca Ds3 got a pillow pet for his 6th birthday, he's now 11.5 and it's still a favourite and very well made.

@OhOurBilly I have no need for bibs anymore but love love love Funky giraffe ones! Sitting on hands!

Congratulations die whatcha win? Or just the glory?

Anyone buying from Blippo, its worth looking at all the other things they sell, I have been happy with everyhting i have got from there and they throw in nice freebies too, great company.

Casablanca78, it will be a pillow pet, we have had the normal one for a few years, DD has now asked for the cotton candy scented one. They are so good and I have been known to use DD when she has forgotten to take it to bed

I think I love the pillow pets more than my DC do. They're so soft and snuggly.

If you don't mind which one you get, keep an eye on Amazon and they occasionally drop down to £8ish.

Hello all. You won't recognise my name but you all feel very familiar to me. I've been around on these threads for four years now. I am shite at bargain hunting but love this thread for the ideas.

I logged in especially to consult you on a matter of great import. My precious niece is 18 in a matter of days. I love her very much and want to look out for her. I've been pondering gifts for months to no avail. Does anyone have a similar child in their house and therefore able to provide some inspiration please? She doesn't drink or go out. She has a horse. She's studying a levels with a view to uni next year. She's gorgeous and able with make up more so than me She has a Jack Russell. Despite the make up prowess she's not 'girly'. Lives in black skinnies and hoodies. So far I have got an appropriate Pandora charm and that's it. Although I did suggest she should inherit something from my Mum's jewellery box because my DN misses her greatly. I'd like to get something with longevity. Something special. I'm clueless. And having a bad day. Anyone able to help me out please?

Hi Eco I don't think you can go wrong with the piece of jewellery from your dear mum imho. I think it is such a wonderful idea and one that your DN will surely treasure.

Annwithnoe thank you! The Robert Sabuda books look stunning, exactly what I was meaning...just need to decide which one

Thanks Mrs , I appreciate that. My sister is in agreement so that will happen. And it will be special for her to cherish, and she will. But she's not really a jewellery type person and I'd love to get her something she may actually like/use. I'm sad and grumpy today as it's the sixth anniversary of Mum dying and I feel bad I've not managed to sort something better out for my special girl (Mum looked after her Monday to Friday from birth so it's a massive deal to her as well as my sister and I). I did consider the terrier mug from the blasted EB but it'll take too long to arrive now I've dithered she doesn't drink any hot drinks

Does she read eco?
