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 [thanks

MyNameIsNotSteven I think hand cream makes a good teacher gift. If they teach little ones they will be washing their hands all the time! Either that or a little christmas tree decoration/coffee voucher

@mynameisnotsteven how about something useful like a reusable bag? Teachers

As a volunteer guide leader, any present is very much appreciated even if it is small. I’ve never quite understand why people feel such a need to give presents to teachers who are doing their paid job, yet overlook unpaid volunteers who look after their children.

Also, I can’t get the amazon stocking filler offer to work

Superstition have £10 off a £50 spend and free delivery using HPN1218. I've just bought a bunch of stocking fillers and some bits for dd1. A lot of what I bought was already discounted so made quite a saving.

Superdrug (bloody autocorrect)

Build a Bear have an up to 50% off sale. Some lovely bears reduced. Including Migo from Smallfoot and a Thomas the Tank Engine bear.

Be quick guys, Expedia are doing £30 off a £40 or over spend. It seems like only in december but could be good for a cheap day out during the Christmas holidays as an extra treat. One of the biggest deals seems to be a 3 course meal for 2 including a drink at Hard Rock Cafe for £11.50 when the code is used.

Code is THANKYOU

Does anyone know where the best place to buy alcohol miniatures is? Actual shops or online. I used to go to an off licence years ago but the only ones round here are “bargain booze” and I’m not sure they’ll have tia maria Do actual off licences even exist anymore? And is it license or licence

And by “best place” I mean “cheapest” obviously

Deezmutts asda are doing nice miniatures 2 for £5

Collected my Fortnite squad figures from Argos. I expected them to be bigger for the price. Think they have may have to go back as DS is a little disgruntled with Fortnite at the moment.

Includes kraken Hendricks 3 barrels disaronno chambord JD ciroc vodka etc

Thanks for the Yoshi tip OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny my order has just arrived and is such lovely quality and beautifully packaged. Wd also deffo recommend for ppl looking for secret santa gifts, stocking fillers or gifts for teachers. Now just have to stop myself twitching and putting in another order!

I’m looking for nice Christmas stockings please! Personalized would be nice. Can anyone recommend any please?

Someone mentioned hotel chocolat stuff earlier there's 15% off everything on amazon at the moment

Or even an unusual stocking

@Theonlyoneiknow

For someone who likes relaxing I would give a little basket or box (Poundland have beautiful strong Christmas boxes for £1) with a scented candle (Poundland also have my favourite scented candle for £2- surprisingly big, currant and Oakwood smells gorgeous) and some fluffy socks and a book and some chocolate. (In fact Poundland do all of those things- I sound like a Poundland salesman!)

I’d love to receive that present. (And I love relaxing)

Thank You @luckiestgirl I have made a note for my trip to town thanks!

DeezMutts Sainsbury’s do a few different ones or try here

@MyNameIsNotSteven I’ve posted near the end of the last thread - for the last few years I’ve. Ought some fab reusable shopping bags for teachers - except they’re a bit more than just a bag to go to the supermarket with as the have two big halves and a big zipped section too so handy if you want to keep stuff safe (money, glasses, cards etc) and if you want to separate stuff - marked vs unmarked workbooks, shopping vs cardigan etc. And they fold up really small, so easy to have in your handbag for when you need them. I have several that get lots of use and people have always been pleased when they’ve had them as gifts.

My phone isn’t letting me link properly but go to miatui.com and search for their Sue shopper bags.

I ordered some last week and they’d arrived in a couple of days.

They’re £4-5 each and try using ST20 to get 20% off accessories (these count as accessories!) - it was working a couple of days ago.

If you want to spend more they have cute little make up bags (£10) with pockets on the inside which work really well for organising handbags or make up or pencil case or cables etc when travelling, also in their a. Esspries section.

I think J Lewis has 20% off Hotel Chocolat at the moment.

Popteenies set £5.95 was £24.99 Amazon

Amazon also have 20% off some hotel chocolate

Just found my Elemis order in the bin! The delivery person put it in there and didn't tell me. Lucky I spotted it as I was putting the bin out for collection!

Thanks @rosablue, those would be good for the female teachers.
