Thread 14 - the one where we sell our souls to the devil for the illusive unicorn fingerling

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

Any referral links to go on this separate thread please

Hello. Sorry I haven't been on these threads since the first one but just for once I think I have found some bargains.

I have never bought from studio before (in fact I had never heard of it even) but I googled 'cheap jigsaws' as last year you lovely people drew my attention to some great bargains on Tesco. Well dmil has asked for more jigsaws and I have just popped the following into a basket.

Christmas past 1000 pieces only £3.99

and Cotswold cottage gardens again 1000 pieces for £3.99

They also have a bumper pack of 30 Christmas cards reduced to 99p (they're quite traditional but will do dhs many, many older relatives)

and also personalised pyjamas from about £6.99

Brands of personalised pyjamas include Trolls, My Little Pony, Shopkins, Paw Patrol, Disney Princess, DC Heroes and some others.

I probably won't be buying pyjamas from there as I pass them down from dd1 to dd2 and also because dd1 isn't so keen on those brands, well maybe DC heroes?

Anyway I honestly don't work for studio and have no idea of the quality but they seem good prices. Does anyone have any experience? Presumably jigsaw puzzles are all going to be well made?

@peasandharmony getstartedfb is the code for Gin Festival. Remember the gin, tonic and glass are in basic packaging not a tin or box

Thanks for the Maplin post @Jojokins32 just ordered

Ha just read reastie's second post about Studio's quality not always being the best after I placed my order. Oh well it'll be interesting to see if mil likes the jigsaws.

(Just received HUKD update informing me that) Argos will be selling Echo Dots for £35 each from Wednesday 15th.

Wow! Well done RJ.
So kind Llama!

I can't see the discount on the kindle sadly. And the codes don't seem to work for me. I desperately want one too!

I’ve got 15 M&S 20% off clothing, beauty, home and furniture codes for 16-20th Nov. PM me if you want one.

For those wishing to order on AliExpress I bought some our generation doll clothes from this store on the 5th of November and they just turned up this morning! One week-wow. I don't know what other toys they have in the store but attaching a photo of what I ordered for my niece.

Free bath/shower gel at Penhaligans if you spend over £120 (). Add it to your basket before checkout.

I stayed in a hotel a few weeks ago and I picked up some leaflets, £3 off £15 spend at build a bear (can't be used at outlet store) I'm happy to send a few out if people will be buying in store

It says you can use online by using the 7 digit code, and it seems to the same on each - #2002838

Vouchers expire 4th of December

I just want to say thank you to the poster who (a long time ago) posted the link to dye your own playsilks, and Dharma for the plain silk. Have now got some beautiful silks made for the children and I know they will love them. I used Wilton food gel dye - it was a bit trial and error, and some of the colours didn't come out the way I thought they would, but they are all gorgeous!

There were a few people after the star projector from the JL advert - including me! Just had a look at the reviews and they’re terrible. So probably won’t buy it when it’s back in stock.

Tellmeitsnottrue- I would love a leaflet as I've got to go there next week and get the bear sounds replaced as they've run out (Such a silly issue to have)
How is it easiest to get one from you? X

Finally I have something to contribute to the thread (which Hopefully hasn’t already been posted!)

I was in the Entertainer earlier and noticed a Crayola Easy Animation kit reduced from £20 to £6.66 and also a Crayola crayon carving kit reduced from £25 to £8.33. There seemed to be loads of things reduced by 30-50% but these 2 jumped out at me as an even bigger reduction!

debbie send me a message with your address and I can send you one out (can send a few if you think you will use them or know anyone else that will use one - £3 off £15)

Thanks for the 3D printing pen link. Has anyone used theirs yet? Do you need to buy a filament? Thanks

@CarrotVan thank you so much for the gin code and the heads up on the packaging

Please could I have a recommendation for toddler gloves? I want stretchable ones so they stay on but are actually possible to get small hands into. Don't mind if mittens or gloves. My past experience is either hours of frustration trying to get small fingers in, or sheepskin type mittens that they can't easily get on and off themselves either!

Lakeland code expiring 23rd December - 1245 7557 4537 3349. Enjoy!

Thank you Strawberryfield12, that's my Grandma's present sorted!

@persisford if you're still after a unicorn I saw this in asda today. It says remote controlled leash but not sure what it does exactly.

Would someone remind me how to cancel Pact? I can’t see a cancel button on the site...

travelling I had some for ds2 from Sainsbury's and I saw the same ones in there the other day. Grey fleece fingerless ones with the mitten bit that folds over. Easier to get fingers in than gloves, more practical than mittens for them being able to use their hands.

Went RL shopping today and a few things to report.

I went to home bargains which had loads of mini Robert the unicorns in stock for £10 (I say mini, they are big by usual cuddly standards but about 1/3 the size of Robert). They also had cloudpets for £5.99.

Asda (I never go so have never seen the Christmas stuff) have loads of Christmas stuff. I got myself Christmas pjs and a Christmas bed set and I got dd an elf on the shelf cushion and bed set (she's going to love it!).
