@MerryTwinkletoes I was eyeing up these (hopefully image will show) in the Aldi magazine earlier. Go on sale from the 9th Dec apparently.

I have ordered another elemis too! Annoyed with myself for not ordering second one when there was more choice. The travel size extra is the best bit as I can keep that for myself!

I missed the great deal on the Ordnance Survey Puzzle book - anyone seen it for a good price (and in stock!) recently?

hoopdeloop · 04/12/2018 23:25

I ordered the ordnance survey from amazon last week and got it for £4 something. It said out of stock when I ordered it but got it 2 days later.

Book People have it for £5 but they are out of stock just now buy you can sign up for an email alert

merrytwinkletoes Dunelm mill had decent size Christmas scented candles in a jar for £1. I picked up gingerbread but haven't lit it yet...

Iggi999 · 04/12/2018 23:51

Asda have some weird christmassy things like a christmas tree teapot and mr and mrs santa mugs. Also a reindeer butter dish. For the person who has everything?
Ds has asked for Sonic toys from FC, I hadn't realised that since Sonic is not a current thing there would be next to no bloody toys available and half of those would come from America. There are figure sets that are sold as toys on one site and as "cake toppers" on another - really flimsy!

BookMeOnTheSudExpress · 05/12/2018 06:12

Merry- I can second the poundshop candles- dd laughed at me just the other day when I said "this is my favourite" (candleholic) and it was a poundshop one.

@lggi999 just in case you
Haven’t come across this.

www.argos.co.uk/product/843538

There are Also pop vinyl sonic figures on smyths toys.
Game has a plush sonic and also something called totaku figures of knuckles and tails. I have seen earphones on there too.
I’ve found a back pack and sonic and egg man toy on amazon too. I suspect you have probably already seen this but hopefully there is something there you haven’t come across

Boden sent me 2 £10 vouchers yesterday. Think one was for my birthday & has no minimum spend so I will be keeping!
The other has a minimum spend of £50 which I won’t use- so please PM me if this is of use to anyone

Stylinson · 05/12/2018 06:32

Would someone mind telling me about the Elemis deal please? Have looked back through the thread but can’t find it.

Thanks x

DeezMutts · 05/12/2018 06:51

Elemis offer is XMAS10 which gives £10 off and free delivery, no minimum spend. Most of us bought a handwash for £15/16. Think they’re out of stock now but still a good offer.

Dolphintrainer · 05/12/2018 07:00

@newdayblankpage my DS has asked for this Sony speaker to play music from his phone. He did quite a bit of research and settled on this one. And under your budget as it’s currently on offer
Sony portable speaker

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 05/12/2018 07:01

Does anyone know when elemis code expires want to get a couple of crackers for nursery staff - kicking myself for hit paying more attention to offer when first posted teach me to skim read.

Iggi999 · 05/12/2018 07:06

hotchocolate86 thank you so much for your detective work!! I had seen the things on amazon but not the rest. Have reserved the figures from Argos (4 packs as you don't know what you'll get) and will look at the pop figures as back up. Think merchandise for sonic is aimed more at gamers than 6 year olds sadly, a lot seems flimsy.
Thanks a million Flowers

Jfw82 · 05/12/2018 07:07

@mashpot what about gap for hoodies? Too end of kids does 13-14yo and my dss likes them. There's offers most days so sign up for their emails and you'll get the offer codes- should be able to get at least 30% off

WWYDhelpplease · 05/12/2018 07:21

Any recommendations for a scooter for an 11 year old boy? Around £50.

hotchocolate86 · 05/12/2018 07:25

Iggi999 No problem. Im glad there was something there that was useful for you.

Stylinson · 05/12/2018 07:27

Thanks you DeezMutts

margaritasbythesea · 05/12/2018 07:29

The Lottie doll stable is on Amazon Lightning deals for £30 right now.

Also 5 litres of Scola pva glue which is great for making slime. £8.80.

ReindeerPoop · 05/12/2018 07:56

Thanks for stained glass ideas! I went with a colouring book thanks @imsorryiasked I didn't realise the pages were translucent!

Drummingisfun · 05/12/2018 08:01

Decathlon scooters are decent quality and good value. The only catch is if he wants the 'cool' brand then decathlon won't be it!

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 05/12/2018 08:10

Thanks @hoopdeloop - I've set up a Book People alert and I'm keeping my eye on Amazon - currently out of stock at £10.49 😩

jeanlou1se · 05/12/2018 08:13

Does anyone know if super dry will have any deals on before Xmas?

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 05/12/2018 08:47

iggi build a bear used to do sonic and knuckles too.

Sometimes qwertee have some t-shirts, don't know if they have any at the moment.

I know you didn't ask for games but if he has a Nintendo 2ds there's the sonic classic collection which is great. Dd2 (6) plays it alot!!!

My eldest dd asked for a pink sonic one year (not the girl character an actual sonic that was pink) I had to get it custom made 😂😂

NoWordForFluffy · 05/12/2018 09:02

Saltrock do lovely hoodies and there's always discounts.

Can somebody recap the insoles offer please as I'm wearing boots this morning which I've decided could benefit from them! Thank you!
