Thank you gaggia that was me asking about body shop parties! That's good to know. I've got loads to buy and actually the online code isn't working for me anyway as it's not valid on Christmas sets.

@lexielulu I bought a baby born for 27 from Very during black Friday last year. It was the doll usually priced at 40+

We got baby Annabell on amazon Black Friday last year

Hopefully you will get a decent discount itsnice join the body shop sellers Facebook group if you can they are always flogging special offers.

Some fantastic candle bargains at half their normal retail prices on the Tk maxx website today
Lots of different Arlo+Oliver candles for £15 instead of £35

true grace violet tin for £10]] sells for £20 at John Lewis

Crabtree & Evelyn La Source for £15 instead of £40

Crabtree & Evelyn White cardamon for £15 instead of £42. This one looks particularly festive and christmassy.

Or for a splurge luxury gift, Hermes candle for £80 with larger sizes available too

Gah! Finally got the Body shop code to work (had to make a new account, lord knows why is wouldn’t work with mine!) and I’ve just had an email to tell me what I want is all out of stock! Grr!

£4.49 postage for gin package

Thanks @fraggle84 @DanceDanceDance80 will wait for Black Friday!

Not exactly bargain hunting but has anyone happened upon some gold or silver glittery wrapping paper on their travels? I know glitter isn’t in vogue at the mo, but my boys ‘santa’ present is always wrapped in special glittery ‘North Pole’ paper and I can’t find any anywhere!!

platypus I suspect fewer places are doing it as it's not easy to recyle...

but Paperchase have some (£5/roll but on their 3 for 2)
www.paperchase.com/en_gb/5m-silver-glitter.html

or if you look on amazon and ebay they have some too...

platypus Asda had gold recently.

Sorry can’t ewmembwr who was asking about the biggie pet from amazon, but I ordered mine on the 27th Sept and it came on the 2nd Oct, hope they get back to you about yours soon, I remember being surprised when it came as it did have a longer delivery period if I recall.

Thanks for the help for Santa’s bag (sorry mn wont let me go back enough pages to check who!) I was able to go to my purchased apps and download it that way, so I spent a little while last night adding my lists and even photos of each item (I have no life clearly)

I’ve also just seen on hot deals that Morrison have some Christmas toys buy one get one free, we don’t have a Morrison’s nearby so I don’t know what kind of toys they have but maybe worth a nip in if you’re close to one.

Asda today had huuuge unicorns £20 and an awesome tree standing about a metre tall maybe bigger for £25. It’s wired and very sturdy! They also had 50cm assorted teddy’s for £5

Spotted playmobil super 4 stuff in homebargains too

It definitely wasn’t a tree...

H&M have got 15% off orders for club members

In Currys yesterday looking at vacuum cleaners with my mum as her old one (at least 15 years old) had broken.

She was looking at a Miele (replacing what she had before) but was tempted by one of their bagless ones until seeing that the one on display was broken and looked a lot less robust than her old hoover. At this point the lady serving her had to go and a different chap took over. He told her about a Miele hoover he'd sold yesterday that was half price when they got it to the till - it wasn't on display as a model nor was the price listed. We had a look and there was one last one left - £124 instead of £250 so we said thank you very much, didn't bother with the extended warranty and went home £125 richer than expected.

So - if anyone is looking for a hoover or things from Currys - worth asking the assistant if there are any end of line items on the shelf as apparently it happens a fair bit at the moment as they're getting rid of old stock models and replacing with new ready for christmas...

Also - again not so christmassy but bargain hunting - anybody seen any good reusable hoover bags? Mum had a reusable one for her old Miele that you just unzipped and emptied - much cheaper than buying expensive bags but haven't seen any for sale for a while.

Has anyone got any suggestions for baskets and cellophane for hampers. I kind of what to spend most of the budget on the contents and not the packaging

Home Bargains do hamper kits with straw, cellphone and tags for a couple of quid.
Also seen in HB today - Finding Nemo & Ninja Turtles busy books for £2.99. They had Lego and MLP sticker books for 79p which would make a nice stocking filler or a birthday present to put with a small Lego kit.
Tesco in Long Eaton had quite a few of the Lego £20 bumper packs.

Borris if you need a lot your best bet is to buy a big roll from Amazon or eBay. Mine has been going a few years now!

Picked up a few little gifts in M&S Outlet today, all as priced (except the little games which were £2.50) plus on 3 for 2. Also picked up a couple of 'flyaway' type balls in Sainsbury's reduced to £1 - they also had character ones, definitely Paw Patrol but didn't check what else.

And the rest...

L’Occitane have a free gift of 3 x 10ml hand creams in a zip up case when you spend £15 with code SHEA

Thank you so much to whoever it was who told me to call around for the monkey! After lots of phone calls, a very kind man in Coventry Asda put it to one side for me. Hooray!

The loccitane code seems to stack with ANDEL for free delivery as well. There's also 3 for £28 on the gift baubles so you could get 4 little gifts for £28 👍 now please go buy them all before my resolve weakens, I don't even know who I'd give them to 🙈
