Can you screen shot your basket Ewock?

@Ewock I haven't done it but my understanding is that you need to add the box itself as well as the code

Can anyone help me please? My secret santa is teacher who likes reading, baking and relaxing! She is a friend but I am completely stumped! I already have something so this is a little extra in the region of £10 (max).

Any ideas would be gratefully received! TIA!

Dies anyone have a code for Biscuiteers? Love the look of their tins as gifts but they are pricey!

@mrschollysawcutt

I don't have a code but wanted to say that the biscuits aren't as great as they look, i was given some last year.

Sign up to their mailing list and they send a code normally. I do agree with the PP though, they look good but are a bit shit taste wise!

@wafflethewonderdog could you please link to the gift - I cannot seem to find it on my phone. Looks like a really good offer.

@gaggiagirl what an awesome idea!

I love the thought of getting something that will get used, but I am renowned for being tight.

ANYone needing Hotel Chocolat discount, try entering hoho at the checkout, may or may not work as ins a vip code for 20% off, worth a try.

Can anyone who has ordered from Very before please tell me how on earth I select free click and collect please? I have gone right through to last screen before it takes payment amd I can't find an option for it anywhere!
And I can't get livechat to work to ask them.

Mag formers are not solid shapes whereas playmags are like tiles iyswim.

So magformers are sort of for building forms, eg a tower, a robot.
With playmags because they are solid you could build a house and use it for dolls or lego men.
I wish the price of playmags would plummet now, I'm thinking about getting some.

@Drummingisfun It's on the Delivery page,
Where it tells you to input address at the top, scroll down and there is a pink button saying click and collect find location

Well the Aldi fortnite figures lasted all of 5 mins. I was online at 5am and they all sold out pretty much straight away. Hoping I can pick some up in my local store 

@wafflethewonderdog thanks so much for the boots no7 offer. I need new foundation and mascara anyway so might as well get them while the offer is on.

Anyone seen any offers on Urban Decay? It's actually just for me. Would I be better off waiting until after Christmas?

I need a rethink on teacher presents as I'm not giving them the unsealed G&B chocs. I'd definitely think if they were given to me like that. Any suggestions?

These are the gifts I most dislike buying because who needs 30 boxes of chocolates anyway?

Please can anyone help with an ASOS code? DGS would like a Nike hoodie from there but it is ££££ and will really take him over budget as already bought. Would be so grateful if anyone can help with this. Thanks.

gaggiagirl I know your relative has requested deodorant, but I thought of this website, which would have been perfect

Buy in bulk your Loo roll, tissues, kitchen roll. It's brilliant. No trees harmed, its made from bamboo and 50% of their profits go into building loos in the 3rd world. Win Win!

Anyone seen any nice and not too expensive potted Christmas trees on their travels? I want one for the front doorstep.

@MyNameIsNotSteven we just go to the garden centre or Homebase and the DC pick out a lovely bauble each for their teachers. Always goes down well.

bluesky she ready gets all her paper goods from them! Good call though, you have excellent instincts!

@MyNameIsNotSteven

My son will be decorating a star tree decoration each for teacher and two TAs. I bought clay ones from Hobbycraft for £1 each and some metallic paint, so was £5 all in for 3 decorations.

Along with this, we're giving a voucher as I think teachers will get far too many chocs/wine at this time of year. I've seen people suggest Starbucks/Costa voucher, ours is one for the local massive shopping centre.

@wafflethewonderdog thank you! Another little treat for DD!

Playmobil Family Fun Cruise ship that DTD1 wants is reduced to £63.98 on Amazon (usually around £75) but this week last year dropped to £53.99. Shall I hold my nerve?

Also need a present for 9.5 yo boy and similar age girl for around £5. Usually find these easy to buy (have often bought Christmas books) but struggling this year. Any ideas?
