Thanks very much folks. He's not mine (confusing in my post) we're not close so I don't know what he's got but I think I'll go with the tractor/trailer instead. Thanks again Xmas Smile

@HuglessDouglasI have the perfect thing!

I bought myself this it's lovely. Very impressive looking and nice products. There's a code on the home page for 15% off today it's free delivery so you have £1.50 left to buy a chocolate Santa to go with it.

RJnomore1 · 03/12/2017 10:34

@HuglessDuglas even

Pinkpiglet · 03/12/2017 10:36

Has anyone seen and nice Christmassy handwash. It’s not for a present, just for making my hands smell more festive!

@blurredlines This one?
Hamilton: The Revolution https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1408709236/ref=cmswwrcppapi_sn9iAb0N5RFHY
I thought this was a good price delivered.
We're going to see Hamilton next week so I might get it for DS.

bookwormbeagle · 03/12/2017 10:39

I have 3 codes for money off at Matalan if anyone can use them, pm me for details. Expire on 5th Dec.

Also I really would like to get a naked pallet for a gift- they're so expensive though. Any ideas? Can get to most big department stores if there are bargains to be had!

HuglessDuglas · 03/12/2017 10:40

@RJnomore that is perfect!!
You are a shopping genius Xmas Grin

RJnomore1 · 03/12/2017 10:43

I've been racking my brains who I could buy it for hugless it's so lovely, bigger than I expected and beautifully presented.

Glad to be of help!

blurredlines · 03/12/2017 10:51

@Cataline I'm so jealous! Can't seem to find any tickets for Hamilton . Ticket master only lets you search specific dates ? We are in the north too so can only go at the weekend

Chocolateteabag · 03/12/2017 10:52

@HuglessDuglas - you are also a shopping star - thankyou!! StarStarStar

dawnky1983 · 03/12/2017 10:56

@bigarse1 this is on amazon? Ty UK My Little Pony Plush 11-Inch Fluttershy Buddy Plush www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HQLHKH2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6F9iAbZ8A5E3T?tag=mumsnetforum-21

Cataline · 03/12/2017 11:01

@blurredlines Yep- you have to search by date but there are tickets to be had as people return them.
There's also now a Hamilton app and there'll be a lottery from the 4th. Maybe you could enter it each Fri/Sat for sat/sun tickets and be prepared to get to London asap if you're lucky?!

We're also in the north but I happily take DS out of school ConfusedXmas Grin for shows and stuff so I don't have to do weekends. Totally understand that most people wouldn't want to though. We're doing Cursed child in April then Hamilton again in May.

Good luck!

RJnomore1 · 03/12/2017 11:03

@Bookworm lookfantastic have 10% off - not a great deal but better than nothing ?

RJnomore1 · 03/12/2017 11:05

Scrub that - the 15% at feelinique with code STAR works on them too

teewee · 03/12/2017 11:14

Can anyone help with a 'gentlemans umbrella' a nice bargainous one please, also need a scented candle, American chocolate and something musical based, thanks so much

purplepandas · 03/12/2017 11:21

Aggh, DD has just told me she wants a purple fingerling. Any idea if they are anywhere? Have checked the usual places and know it is the toy of choice so unlikely. Worth asking.

Have been lurking this year on the threads but keeping up.

OhHolyFuck · 03/12/2017 11:29

Ffs also on the look out for a fingerling - DSs godfather told me he'd 'sorted it' and not to worry, then phoned me last night and admitted he hasn't got one at all
So if anyone has a spare in any colour or gets a tip off on any, please will you let me know?!

purplepandas · 03/12/2017 12:05

Good luck oholyfuck. How frustrating.

Thought this Retro Gaming Mat would be good for hard to buy for men (and teens?) www.thepresentfinder.co.uk/buy/retro-gaming-mat_2992.htm

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 03/12/2017 12:16

Argh! I need a couple of small bits for my mum to open...she had a voucher for afternoon tea but I just want to get her some bits to actually open.

She’s in her 60s, no hobbies, has way to much perfume, doesn’t “need” anything, doesn’t wear make up, wears sensible clothes iygwim....I can’t think of anything! Argh!

bookwormbeagle · 03/12/2017 12:20

Thank you Rjnomore, that's perfect.

bunbunny · 03/12/2017 12:40

teewee try tk maxx for nice umbrellas - they're good for things like that. Otherwise - less bargainous but john lewis, marks and sparks or debenhams...

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 03/12/2017 12:43

i hope you step on a lego pearl earrings, hand cream, leather gloves, vintage tea cup and saucer

handmademitlove · 03/12/2017 12:45

Annoyingly i have a fingerling I don't need waiting to be collected from Smyths but can't get there within their 2 day rule.. It would have been fine but the order was delayed so now I can't get to it.. seems such a waste!
