RTOT71 is a 15% JoJo code, I used it on Friday so hopefully still working.

Reastie · 06/11/2017 16:07

Thanks for the Sainsbury's/David Walliams offer, I've got mine on the way to collect DD.

I've spotted a couple of sales today. One at JD sports and the other at Victorias Secret who have a 20% off 8pm - 9pm tonight plus free delivery.

@IToldYouIWasFreaky I have a Mini Babybel mini golf set (I think?!?) I can send you. It's still sealed so don't quite know what's inside but it came from Holland and is an orange plastic canister about the same size as a mini Babybel. Happy to post it to you if you want it?

Thank you @torthecatlady. I wondered what it was 😀 I was going to chuck it but if I can pass it on that'd be great

Loads of the big sister lol balls in Tesco today.

Place marking.

Carrie76 · 06/11/2017 17:28

Yep thanks lostmyrubyslippers they had a few to choose from. Wouldn’t have thought to check there!

chocolatepudandchocolatesauce · 06/11/2017 17:49

Do the glitter fingerlings have names?

Notlongnow1 · 06/11/2017 18:08

@IToldYouIWasFreaky I bought OH a babybel recipe book a few years ago shaped like a little babybel?

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 06/11/2017 18:25

A few people have asked about Good Housekeeping subscription - there’s a MN thread about it in Christmas. Looks as though the free gift this year is chocs.

Youcantscaremeihavechildren · 06/11/2017 18:38

Thanks for the idea of tge toy tape kraggle just ordered some for DD me shes 7 and loves her lego.
I think I'm very nearly done for the kids, just will pick up a few stocking fillers over the next few weeks. DH isn't done yet though as have zero clue what to get him but we are going away so said we wouldn't buy anything big for each other this year...hes got form for ignoring that and getting me stuff anyway though! Still got presents to make but thats usually the fun bit, succulent pots to make this year with our succulent cuttings and a couple of jewellery gifts to make. Kids of friends will all get pots with their names on for a little succulent for their bedrooms. Just got to find the time to make them!
My issue now is how to find a fun way to tell the kids we are going to Lapland for their present! I did think about a treasure hunt of some kind starting during advent using our advent calendar, or the elf on the shelf..I need to sort something soon though and it needs to be cheap, still have to buy snow boots for both DC and trousers for DD...

On that, anyone seen anywhere that might have offers on ski stuff? Need inner gloves, mittens, balaclavas, hats and trousers. Need 2 pairs of sorel super trouper boots too but they are £55 new so relying on ebay for that!

Any ideas gratefully received!

OhHolyFuck · 06/11/2017 18:38

Also on the slightly odd present theme, I need a woodstock related present (the 1969 festival not the snoopy character!)
Anyone any ideas?

VaprousDropProfound · 06/11/2017 18:38

Hi, I have a £10 gift voucher, no minimum spend plus 20% off and free returns with mini Boden, think it might work with Boden as well. I won't use it. Please PM me, if you would like it.

Squ1ggle · 06/11/2017 18:42

I have pmd you vapourous, would be amazing if you still have it

Squ1ggle · 06/11/2017 18:42

vaprous sorry

handmademitlove · 06/11/2017 18:49

youcantscareme try mountain warehouse for skiwear. There is usually an offer on - 15% off online with AW17WEB or sign up to their newsletter for almost daily deals!

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 06/11/2017 18:52

@KokoLoko that would be brilliant, thank you so much! I will PM you.

I will look out for the recipe book too. Those and a bag of Christmas themed Babybels (hope they do them this year!) will make an excellent novelty gift. Grin

Sale on Christmas items at kilkenny design including 40% off newbridge decorations.

This is my fake fingerling from Amazon. Almost identical to above, but says finger monkey not fingerling, and probably doesn't have the same play features

BlueSkies0207 · 06/11/2017 18:56

youcantscareme how about letters from the elves on a couple of the days in your advent saying how fun it would be for them to visit, what they get up to etc and them some fake tickets inviting them the day before.

This is my plan for next year when dd is old enough for us to go.

WisestIsShe · 06/11/2017 19:04

luckiestgirl it's a shame about the fake fingerling but I see you have tea in an Emma Bridgewater mug to soften the blow Xmas Grin

Littlemissindependent · 06/11/2017 19:15

Has anyone seen the boxes of deluxe fudge in Lidl? Think they're sea salt and caramel? Can't find them here anywhere
