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

@GruffaloStick how about a personalised ordnance survey map and a travel cup/hip flask?

Code 0525 for 40% off anything (I think) at the lego shop. Tried it on the bugatti which was already on offer.

40% off on all Lego using code 0525 at Lego shop. Just saved £30 on a set I have been after for a while. Also you get a free Christmas set if you spend over a certain amount (I think £50).

We bought a treat box for grandparents from this website (there's money off them at the moment). The boxes are lovely to look at but the wood itself is quite cheap and looks cheap inside but would look lovely when filled. the-laser-boutique.com/product/liquorice-goody-box/?gclid=Cj0KCQiArenfBRCoARIsAFc1FqeFJ_4oWa4CxNAhp7gwSTyQH9jQr1zXB9aVLLtcnzRLxTw61fAaaaUaAljlEALw_wcB

*I'msorry' I looked at the OS map which was linked on here, I thought it was a fab idea but DH thinks FIL will be offended as he knows the area better than a map (he's a lovely, but set in his ways man) travel flask could be a contender.
Pebbles art event is a great outside the box idea thanks, I'm not sure if there will be much on in this area but I'll check it out. Gloves he has.

Ooh I love those maps @imsorryiasked.

Hi there has anyone got a referral code for I want one of those? I’ve found someone else’s code on another website but they get £10 credit so would prefer one of you lot to have that. Preferably want to order tonight.

@GruffaloStick how about a jigsaw map of his area then? several different versions

gruffalostick How about a personalised ordnance survey map with his house as the central point, and then he can look out and map all his local walks? I got one for my Dad, they are great. You can choose a photo to put on the front

I'd then put that with a really good pair of walking socks

These are half price and have free p&p from Mountain Warehouse

Sorry just seen maps were mentioned earlier!

I'msorry' brilliant idea! DH just suggested getting one of a special place FIL has on a jigsaw on the back of your idea which he will love.
This thread and the people on it are so helpful, well except that weirdo lyn

"Kerrier* I can pm one if you get stuck but I doubt I'll order from there again so better if another poster can use it.
Mine says 25% off first order over 25

@FireflyGirl thank you, got a free share bag 🙂

Anyone seen any nice shaving brushes with a discount? DH has just mentioned he needs a new one, I'm struggling for gift ideas so it's great timing ! Thanks so much for Lego code

I also came on to mention £1 stuff at flying tiger!! I bought so much stuff 😂 although had to go back as some bastard stole the carousel out the basket. Then I saw chocolates. Then I went back after I got girls as saw something else in the window.... same person served me each time i must have looked like a flying tiger junkie nutjob 🤣🤣

Any recommendations for a magazine subscription for 7 year old? She likes arts and crafts, baking, news and sparkly things.

Thanks for that Lego code - fantastic! I may or may not have just bought several kits I’ve had my eye on for me (as well as Christmas gifts and birthday gifts)...

My first Lego order was cancelled, waiting to see if my 2nd will go through, so far no email conformation.

Couldn’t get amazon or Expedia to work. Internet doesn’t like me today

Oh no Lovemusic33, I hope our orders aren’t cancelled!

Wow, huge thanks for the Lego code. Just bought 3 sets I’d been watching on Amazon. Saved 40% and got free shipping and the free gift! Really hoping it doesn’t get cancelled.

Unfortunately the lego orders will be cancelled and they won't honor the discount code. I truly hope they will but my friend who works for lego says that it's a leaked staff code.

@Lovemusic33 - oh no, did it go through and then you got a cancellation email after?

Yes, I had a conformation email and then a cancellation email. 2nd time and I have had a conformation email, keeping my fingers crossed it has worked this time. I only ordered one set.
