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

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link and the and then last word and the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

@sunshinendaisies amazon have 3 for 2 on some Hasbro games on their daily deal

The entertainer also has cranium for £10 - such a good family game!

TigerLilyGrace · 04/12/2018 20:44

I hope you don't mind me sharing a small bargain I discovered today? Did an order with The Works last week, discounts didn't work with the 2 for £10 gifts, but when I collected my order from the shop I also bought some more 2 for £10 gifts, if you buy something at the same time as collecting a click and collect order you get 15% off so it was £8.50 rather than £10, sorry if thats a bit garbled!

There are loads in that price range. We’ve got this one and it’s amazing. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MTB55WH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gBUbCbG486WRJ?tag=mumsnetforum-21

I’d search Bluetooth speakers on Amazon and read through the reviews.

DeezMutts · 04/12/2018 20:45

@NewDayBlankPage that was for you lol.

IJustWantToWearDungarees · 04/12/2018 20:54

Not a bargain as such, but lucyandjane.co.uk has some lovely jewellery, including an offer on silver studs. And for @Fueledwithfairydustandgin, they have some lovely bee-themed pieces.

Thanks need crackers to come back into stock

sunshineNdaisies · 04/12/2018 20:59

thanks but she has most of them and the remaining ones I dont think she would like...any other games out there?

wornoutboots · 04/12/2018 21:11

I think I'm mostly done, just a couple of little bits to get and post to family, done for kids anyway

SheStoodInTheStorm · 04/12/2018 21:12

Does anyone have any suggestions for gifts for an eleven year old girl? Ideally £5-£7 but looks decent?

BookMeOnTheSudExpress · 04/12/2018 21:16

Fuelled- what about one of the Bloom and Wild ready decorated trees for grandad?

handmademitlove · 04/12/2018 21:20

@sunshinendaisies try the happy puzzle company for some different games. If you leave stuff in your basket they will eventually send you a money off code!

AlbusPercival · 04/12/2018 21:22

Whoops twitched and spent a non bargainous £100 on a balance board for DS

sunshineNdaisies · 04/12/2018 21:44

MSE are promoting £41 of no7 products for £12 in their email

mashpot · 04/12/2018 21:53

Also thinking of going back for more Elemis...

Can one help with where to look for good sweatshirts/hoodies for 13 year old boys. I am struggling with this in-between age?

ja9r · 04/12/2018 22:00

Whispers: what's the Elemis deal? Have gone back through thread but can only see people referring to it and not the actual deal itself...

AlexanderHamilton · 04/12/2018 22:03

Elemis Offer

XMAS10 gives £10 off no minimum spend.

Pandasarecute · 04/12/2018 22:07

**SheStoodInTheStorm
My 11 year old would love stationary- things like gel pens and notepads. If you go to the works (or order online for store collection) you will find suitable things at a reasonable price. Hope that helps

Please can anyone help me with ideas for a 12 year old boy? Budget about £15

Rockhopper81 · 04/12/2018 22:14

Thanks for the reminder of the Elemis offer - another company I hadn’t used before, but seemed too good to miss.

I really need to get wrapping, I’m beginning to lose track of exactly what I’ve bought for my parents/adults I buy for and it’s bothering me!

Imnotweirdimlimitededition1 · 04/12/2018 22:15

@SheStoodInTheStorm for the 12 year old-fortnite calendar Xbox voucher novelty sock bobble hat?
Thanks for Celtic & co code I bought 2pairs of insoles for £2 each with code noel18!!

Wiifitmama · 04/12/2018 22:25

With the celtic and co code, is there another for free delivery? It adds on almost £5 for delivery when I try it.

fairiesandelves · 04/12/2018 22:25

I've looked back on earlier threads many thanks to choconuts for posting the Elemis deal.
This thread is fab - I've got some really nice gifts for people and less money spent. Chuffed to bits.

Fingermoose · 04/12/2018 22:29

@Fueledbyfairydustandgin I've just bought a bee mug from here - there are candles and homewares if you think your aunt would like something decorative. It's a great initiative too.

Maybe soft socks for your grandad? My gran has dementia and warmth is something we can give her.

MerryTwinkletoes · 04/12/2018 22:38

Aah I've fallen off the threads and suddenly realised we're in December and I really need to pull my finger out!!

Can anyone please recommend any tin/jar candles (preferably Christmassy smelling!) for less than £3 that I can include in my gift bag for staff please? Really struggling and though this would be an easy one!

Elphaba17 · 04/12/2018 22:41

Thanks again choconuts for the elemis code, that was an absolutely brilliant deal.

gaggiagirl · 04/12/2018 22:46

merry home bargains has little Christmas smelling jar candles for I think £1-2? Definitely less than £3. I bought my manager the gingerbread ones last year and she thought they were yankee candle and loved them.
