[Reastie]

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me k ow if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it

Christ almighty. @littlemeitslyn is here bitch plopping again. Clearly the bugger off message didn't work last time (to your previous name).

If you don't like Christmas, fine, whatever. Just stay away from the bloody Christmas boards!

Yuh fuck off Grinches

I need some posh nice socks for DH. I’ve bought him the Irish socks from Sarah Raven before - any other good ones anyone know of? The SR ones are about £12.

Apologies if this has already been posted - I tend to skim read the xmas threads and only focus on the key words of items I've either bought or looking to buy and read then if that makes sense!

man ( or teen) fairisle Xmas jumper looks to be a fab bargain on Boohooman.com at the moment all sizes available for £5 pounds. Think I just searched Christmas jumpers. They are also doing other fab cyber deals on clothing and accessories incl xmas socks with 75% off and free delivery so hv emptied my purse this lunchtime! DH is gonna look well trendy this Xmas lol its usually a more gimmicky weird slogan Xmas jumper he gets ha ha. HTH someone else.

littlemeitslyn ‘sup Grinchy? How’s it going?

Ice cream cart scoop and learn is under thirty pounds if you have a costco card for whoever asked.

AA Road atlas two pounds at the works or four at book people.

Looking for a nice shower cap if anyone has seen one please

Has anyone seen any nice big ish stockings anywhere? I seem to have lost one of the dd’s.

Sainsburys have Thornton’s selections all with a pound or two off, and lint Lindor 200g boxes for £3.50 rather than £5 in all the flavours, a mint one might have found its way into my trolley.

I have been waiting for seasalt to drop their prices as I needed a Janelle coat. £30 off it today. Discount depends on spend amount no code needed.

Thanks for the fingerling tips. Also thanks for the boohoo man tip- a pair of snowman socks for £2 delivered (with 7% quidco cashback) are on their way to me now!

Boots had some nice fair isle stockings. John man man baby had some beautiful ones but the one I liked sold out before I got there. Also matalan had fairisle ones with initials on.

Do George at Asda ever do codes?

winewolfhowls - I bought a Minnie Mouse shower cap for my aunt from Primark last week, reduced to £2.50 or £3.50 (there was an eye mask too, which is the other price). It has ears, which I thought was cool!

I'm trying to find a 'milkshake cup' for DS (2). DD has got a double-walled cup with glitter trapped in between the two walls, and it also has a domed lid and a straw. DS is always begging to use it and DD doesn't want him to, so I'd like to buy him one of his own. Ideally it would have dinosaurs or trains or diggers on it, but it doesn't have to - in fact he's very fond of pink glittery stuff . I can't find anything on Amazon - don't know if I'm using the wrong search term. Has anyone seen anything suitable anywhere? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

thepurplegirl try Tiger,Claire’s, major supermarkets

My kids have cups like those from the Disney store but I’m not sure about non Disney ones, try eBay maybe

Thanks both! I just looked online at Claire's and there's a rather funky bunny one that looks good. I'll have a look in Tiger next time I'm in town - they aren't shops I usually go in so wouldn't have thought of them.
If anyone does see a dinosaur one please do let me know though.

We were shopping the other day and they had cups like that in Disney, Claires, Smiggle and Paperchase. I remember because I almost bought one for our eldest DD.

Hey, don't know if this has been posted, but I have just managed to get the Nintendo switch pokemon edition with let's go evee and the pokeball controller for 284.85.

Its on ebay. Found the listing for 334.35. Then used code PRESENTS to be fifteen percent off up to £50.

Considering the game itself is eighty, means getting the pokemon themed handset for the region of £200.

I think its a really good deal!

@ijustwantdungarees our local Dunelm had jurassic world soft toys and key rings in their bargain clearance. They were half price. Might have been more things but I looked at those for Ds.

@lovemusic33 merchoid had (a month ago maybe) some large ones reduced from about 15 to 5. Being merchoid they are themed but I got the star wars ones and they are really good quality.

Thanks Blue, I'll add Smiggle and Paperchase to my list for 'real life' shopping.

I've now looked on eBay (I found soda cup was a good search term) and there are mermaids and unicorns galore with a few pineapples and flamingos thrown in for good measure, but not a dinosaur in sight! All the ones I assume are aimed at boys are so dull! Not a bright colour or hint of glitter and sparkle in sight. It can't be just me with a boy who likes bright colours and sparkle? I know I could just get him a unicorn or mermaid one, but those are very much DD's 'thing' and it would be easier if they had different themes.

Need a play doh recommendation for 5 yo boy. Bargainous preferably! Max £12

@ThePurpleGirl have you tried www.shop4dinosaurs.co.uk

@ja9r £9.99 this one is half price at argos

@newdayblankpage you can get real hair Ken on eBay from America. All pre owned but some are still boxed.

The ice cream playset is also half price £9.99
