I love reeses and am gutted that I haven't found a calender yet, where have you seen them in stock?!

LostMyRubySlippers · 27/11/2017 12:46

autocat zeek do a good discount on build a bear vouchers & if you are new zeek customer you can get a further discount too. Depends how much you are spending in total/ what vouchers they have available but might offset the postage at least

I saw this dino pillow pet on NHM website for £12

historyismything · 27/11/2017 13:13

I was looking on the escentual website as I need new skincare. They have 50% off today and a further 10% with black 10 (I think) it's on their front page, anyway they have the decleor neroli oil for 10 and an extra 10% off would be £9! Bargain! I don't need it for me or anyone I know but it was meant to be £46.

Fridayfun i have a very slim 6 year old. On the tightest setting it has a fair bit of space. Maybe enough for a couple fingers. DS waved his arms around and tugged at the band but would not come off over his hand. To get it off he had to undo it. So would deffinately be fine sizewise for an older child. Tbf have just checked it on 3 year old DDs wrist and while it comes over her hand it foesnt come off.

@Chocolateteabag I've got a speaker in my basket on Currys but no 10% sidebar popping up Sad

imsorryiasked · 27/11/2017 13:19

I'm only up to page 17 so apologies if this had been posted but tesco "normal size" store had playmobil farm Advent calendars for £10.
Also ten reindeer bin bags for £2.60.

Can someone link to the mi band fitness tracker things please?Flowers

My livinginlalaland parcel went missing after dispatch. They've sent me another parcel plus freebies straight away. Great customer service and 50% off today (not when I ordered unfortunately!).

It's interesting seeing the difference in customer service between different shops isn't it? I had missing Matalan items and it took 2 phone calls and 4 emails to get a refund. On the other hand, DD's boots from New Look arrived marked and within 40 minutes of sending them pics I had a full refund, a code for free delivery if I wanted to reorder and was told to keep the boots. I know which one I'll be shopping with more in the future!

I'm looking for suggestions of things to put in a box to send to the homeless shelter I was teaching in last term. No kids there and I don't want to send useless stuff but I do want to let them know I'm thinking of them. Any ideas?

Chocolateteabag · 27/11/2017 13:31

@HouseworkIsASin10 - have a look back at the item listing - it might now have a % off code in the listing to put in at checkout?

I had been searching "Roberts 93" so an Amazon ad came up this morning which prompted me to check back on the Curry's site

Chocolateteabag · 27/11/2017 13:32

But if you do order anyway - worth to keep checking back over the next couple of weeks

cookiefiend · 27/11/2017 13:32

I know @IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece someone else has found you a pillow pet, but I saw a cool dinosaur pillowcase in next the other day which turns your regular shaped pillow into a dinosaur shape. Thought it would make a cool gift for dinosaur lovers-£8.

I have a code for 15% off at Ciate London that I won't use if anyone is after some makeup. Don't think it's single use either - PRIORITY15

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 27/11/2017 13:53

Moosie thank you!! I totally didn’t think of the NHM!

cookie that’s amazing!! I’m totally buying that as well!!

Thank you!! Xx

Jedbartletforpresident · 27/11/2017 13:55

Ideas needed for wee gifts for Brownies/Guides leaders. I have presents for the main leaders (who do all the planning etc) but need small things for the helpers. Between the two organisations there are 7 of them so needs to be cheap!

Also need an idea for a friend who runs an after school activity my DD goes to. She does it totally out of her own time and puts loads of effort into it (inc paying for childcare for her own DC so she can run it!) so I want to get her something nice to say thankyou. Preferably around the £10 mark and not food or alcohol.

SilverLinings2014 · 27/11/2017 13:59

Delurking tonsau thanks for all the bargains and I’ve just received a a £5 off £30 spend at Lakeland. Use by 23rd Dec.

PM for the code.

HouseworkIsASin10 · 27/11/2017 14:03

@Chocolateteabag Thanks I'll keep checking. Not too bothered about ordering at the current price so if I don't find an extra 10% its their loss Smile

WheresMrMonkey · 27/11/2017 14:05

Gap and Thornton deals both great!!! Thank you! 3 for 2 at Thorntons. Then code VC15? Also you must go through Quidco as brilliant cashback on them both. Gaps even tracked back on the original price so I've actually paid way less that 50%

MooseyMoo · 27/11/2017 14:39

No problem IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece I have a dino mad DS Smile

cookie I'm hoping to buy that pillow case too!

PeasAndHarmony · 27/11/2017 14:47

Has anyone seen any good Lego deals?

Need something for a tech mad 10 year old (loves lego technic) and a 5 year old (that he can have a go at doing himself)

Many thanks!

AutoCat · 27/11/2017 14:55

Thanks LostMy, that's a great idea - it's a shame they only have £25 build-a-bear vouchers at the moment as I am trying to spend as little as possible and I don't really need two bears. Zeek have offered £3 off if I spend £25 but I'd have to spend more again as the vouchers cost £21. As much as my son would really like it I can't really justify spending almost £17 on a bear as I'm done (and it's not far off full price with postage)! Will have a think about it.

LikeSilver · 27/11/2017 15:12

For those who, like me, missed out on the bargain Lego Star Wars calendar at Asda - Sainsbury's are selling them for £12.50 in store today. £1 more then Asda but much better than £30! I couldn't get to a Sainsbury's before 2pm today and thought they'd be gone but my local store had five on the shelf.

I got a Reese's calendar from B&M but fairly sure I've also seen them in Tesco.
