Tractor what age are they?
Could you put in something like this from The works? There are 3 in a pack, so you could divide them.
Tree craft

@Carrie76

Asda had Pokemon money boxes in store just over a week ago when I was last there - Pikachu and a Pokeball.

4 and 7, so those look perfect, thanks LetThereBe
And thanks fish who also suggested the Works. Off to investigate Poundland now!

TractorTed I'm doing DS an advent calendar using my old M&S one from last year. I got some chocolate caramel parcel chocolates from M&S, stationary items like an eraser, nice pens, glow sticks, great little puzzles in Tiger for £1, giant balloons (also Tiger!) the odd mini figure we have picked up in sales and then I also nicked the idea from some clever poster on here who suggested putting notes in! We are doing ice skating, making Christmas biscuits and Star Wars at the cinema so far (all things we would've been doing anyway!).

That sounds lovely, mash

I love the idea of putting notes in of things we were going to be doing anyway! I also read that on here.
So far, we have a trip to the panto, visit to santa, making mince pies, gingerbread house, Christmas biscuits, Christmas lights switch on.

And I'm now building a basket of 'make your own Christmas decorations ' type thing in the Works.

Think I also need to check out Tiger...

I'd love a Boden code but ive already had one from here so don't think it would be fair. If anyone has one and offers it super close to the expiry please think of me as id happily use it rather than waste it.

Choccy have you thought about a Bloom and Wild subscription for your mum. She would get flowers once a month for however long you purchased. We bought for my mum and she loved it. The flowers were beautiful and really lasted and they also brightened up a normal boring day. She liked it so much she asked for it again.
Scilly Flowers and Fentgollan also do similar for daffodils which Ive used before and that's cheaper option.

Disney, Guess the Film is recuced to £10.90 on amazon. Don't think ive seen it that low before.

@Sassylowe I’d love the Boden voucher if it’s still available, please

Boots have the yankee candle advent calendar reduced from £25 to £12.49

woodwaj thank you so much for the Tesco link- that’s DH’s God Children sorted!

Any suggestions for my friend’s daughter? She’s going to be 3 late December, and then she’ll need a Christmas gift as well... budget about £10 for each gift, but lower is good!

@Sassylowe Thank you very much

My Razor turned up this Morning YAY! Going to put it in the things I’ve bought for my Dad! Everyone loves a new razor right?

Also haven’t scrolled back far enough to see if Lloyds pharmacy has been posted but Save20 gives 20% off orders , just had some Baylis and Harding gift sets for inlaws (if you use a code you will be charged delivery even if you spend over £35 (which is then supposed to be free) I rung them and they confirmed either code or Delivery can’t use both!)

On the last thread I posted a hurried thing about "el wire" without making much sense - anyway this is it.

I thought it would make a great alternative to fairy lights in kids bedrooms. It's apparently Electroluminescent wire, which is a thin copper wire coated in a phosphor which glows when an alternating current is applied to it.
It can be bent and moulded around things and gives a neon sign effect.

On ebay etc its's about £5-6 for 5m - search for el wire

What is the packaging like for woolovers? I'm due for delivery today but dont want OH to guess what's inside and he's here today and will possibly answer the door

Hi, are there any sports direct codes around?

Thanks!

Thanks Lefty7!
Anyone seen a play Mobil aeroplane on offer please?

@Curiousgeorgey The package say Woolovers on it, and it's a plastic packet/bag type thing so fairly obvious that it's clothes.

@Curiousgeorgey Ours arrived today (had to crop address out) but says Woolovers over packaging lol
