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

Thanks for the new thread. I have missed a few days, would anyone be able to re post the deal on remote control plug switches as I can't find it. Thanks

Glad the scratch off card was of use to some! I’d really like to get a gift like that so hope they’re well received

DD wanted trendy Kanken backpack for Christmas. Full size usually around £70/80 but Skatehut selling a few colours off for 59. I then noticed if you sign up for email, you get another £5 off. Makes it a bit less painful. Free delivery too.

Thanks for info on kiddie table and chairs. Getting from IKEA and stencilling name on myself and quids in. You guys are fab on here

Me again! I forgot I need something to project stars/planets/space things (!) onto the ceiling and walls...I don’t really want to spend more then £15 but all I’ve found are more then that! Has anyone spotted one or can recommend one?

Thanks for the placemat help! I forgot about NOTHS!

Picked up the HP pop up book for £22 in Asda, thank you RJ

In return Celtic & Co £20 off any spend over £20 code is NOEL18

lego there’s this and this on amazon, quite a few others too but the reviews on these look good.

Today spotted the Lindt selection box in Tesco - it was calling my name so accidentally slipped into my shopping basket.

Would love to hear reviews on the hygge bands as I love sea salt handy bandsx

Ahh yes, the reduced advent calendars in Tesco, I bought the Thornton's continental one today, reduced from £6 to £3. Unfortunately it seems to be a time traveling machine as I am currently on December 12th !

@Spam88 that's a great website for nail varnish, thank you!

Has anyone seen any decent deals on the Philips Hue White Ambiance kit? Must be bayonet fitting - which seems to be the struggle. Seen loads of them with the screw fitting, but hardly any bayonet.

Best I've seen is Amazon at 75 ish, but would love to get nearer to 60.

No bargains to add but can I vote "glad my glitter pussy gets a mention" as the next thread title?! Really tickled me

time for the 5 year old girl how about a my busy books? Maybe moana or princesses. Or a notebook and gel pens. For the 8 year old boy - maybe a how to draw comics book? Or a football? Or get them a selection box each and a fun keyring for their bags - smiggle do initial ones Or flying tiger.

I really don't need them, but starting to want some nice plates for Christmas dinner - if anyone has come across some sparkly/shiny ones (and cheap!) please let me know!

Thanks for the Celtic & Co code - honestly, I’d never heard of them before, but bought a pair of sheepskin insoles each for my mum and dad as they’re buying each other a National Trust membership.

are there any wonderbly codes about at all? xx

Thanks for tip about the Playmobil advent calendars at Asda for £10 ordered and collected ready for next year.

Iggi these aren't particularly fancy but I'm rather tempted to get them myself festive sloth plates

Buzz off 😂

Buzz - there’s 30% off Lottie doll website atm ( not all items ) . I used a code posted here to get 30% off . It may have been XMAS30??
I also posted a link a few pages back which will get you 10% off . Not sure if the codes will stack .
I’ve bought them for my mum for my nieces . Apparently they adore them

Does anyone have a free delivery code for Studio please?

@imsorryiasked Thanks for the Amazon lego watch spot, I went through Quidco too and got the £2.50 bonus and 9% cash back

Thanks for the yoshi link the stuff is lovely

Any deals on Harry Potter Lego anywhere?

Thanks @nocuts, heading into town tomorrow will have a look for keychains. A busy busy book sounds good. Never would have thought of that. I do like the idea of notebooks and pens. Could get them one each so they have the same.

While I'm here any ideas for my nan. She tells me off everyone I buy her something. Last year we used only broken jewellery to make a jeweled photo frame from the kids. I was thinking DIY coasters for her holiday home, or something similar. She isn't particularly into anything does eat chocolates or drink. She needs to watch her sugar intake so nothing sweet.

Finally I have friend who insists on buying my DC gifts at Christmas, I wish she wouldn't because they already have so much, so would like to get her boys something. Both boys love cars, so any hotwheels related bargains? I have absolutely loved these threats. Have saved me so much and given me so many ideas. Have also cost me lots because I keep seeing stuff I need. Despite being done for my DC ages ago.
