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

I’ve also bought the lightsaber for the local pub charity collection.

@ecofreckle I saw an absolutely gorgeous and soft light grey very fluffy full length dressing gown yesterday in Peacocks of all places. It really was gorgeous. I've just looked on their website as I read somewhere on here that they're doing 20% off but I can't see it on there. I would guess that it might have sold out online? May be worth going RL shopping? I admit I am terribly fussy but have to say I was impressed by the quality of some of the nightwear I saw in there.

Oh crumbs - thought I was all but done but twitched and bought 5 sweet trees and some personalised notebooks from Getting Personal.
Code VIP20 gets 20% off site wide.
Really must stop buying now.

An idea for Nurses (I am one). A handwritten letter of thanks explaining I just how they have helped you and why they are special. They will be able to use them for revalidation and are not easy to request.

I love the Blossom and Bloom BFG range which is currently reduced in boots. Has anyone see the BFG book and bath set any cheaper anywhere please.

Oops that would be bloom and Blossom

@cheekyfucker that’s a lovely idea! I’ll definitely be doing that. She’s made a hard time so much easier by just being who she is. I have the upmost respect for nurses! Wonderful people

Has anyone else had trouble with the works . I ordered at the end of November and still not recieved anything . So frustrating .

Aww your nurse sounds very special woah. Sending lots of love and healing vibes to you x

Sending you best wishes Woah

Lots of positivity heading your way Woah

So sorry to hear that woah sending well wishes your way Sounds like you’re keeping your spirits high

Dd is back in hospital this weekend too actually, so I’m trying to online shop with terrible WiFi. I’m having issues with my orders from both Claire’s and also my Morphe order, seems to be the year of bugger ups with me!

Also, if anyone has a code for espa I would be very grateful, it’s mils favourite stuff and I would love to treat her as she’s just amazing, but it is a tad pricey.

I bought an echo, 3 dots and 4 WiFi plugs and now I wish I’d bought bayonet bulbs. Any bargains?

@WoahBodyforrrm so sorry just read your post. You are amazing, thinking of someone else when you're so poorly. I'm sure your nurse will appreciate any gift you give as it will be completed unexpected.

Hope your dd is ok @jammiebammie

@Jammiebammie hope your dd is ok and out of hospital soon.

We have MIL over for Christmas this year. DH is collecting her and taking her home. She has stage 4 cancer. So pretty difficult to buy for as nothing is going to make that better . So far I have a designer scarf. Then I'm doing her a stocking too as we all have one. I've got a sanctuary set and will get some nice chocolates but anymore ideas for stocking or main presents gratefully received.

Converse is reduced at studio if that helps anyone

@BeauticianNotMagician81 when my mom had stage 4, we bought her new clothes (she was losing so much weight), and personalised gifts like a necklace that had everyone's birthstones and a beautiful silver tree-shaped picture holder that we put photos of all the family in. Anything that she uses daily as well, you could buy her a newer, shinier or more lux version that will remind her of her near and dear during this hard time - blanket, slippers, nice pillows, etc

Sending positive thoughts to you and your mum, as well as @WoahBodyforrrm and @Jammiebammie and her family 💐

Thanks for the Bloom and Wild code made a good saving on dsis's flowers I send every Christmas.

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts great ideas thank you. I like the photo tree idea. I had wondered about a photo blanket as well but not sure of the quality.

Beautician, my mum had cancer a couple if years ago and when she was in and out of hospital, she loved a really soft blanket that her sister gave her. Just an idea.

woah sending love

How about a cashmere wrap from turtle doves to keep her warm

Posted too soon. Fabulous quality and all recycled cashmere. They also do memory cashmere gloves - made from one of your or maybe your husband's old cashmere jumpers

These are fab ideas. I'm about finished for everyone else but she's difficult to buy for m. That's the main reason I told DH to get her over for Christmas as I know the main thing she wants is quality time with the grandchildren.
