[Reastie]

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

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

Thank you for the happy land recommendation! I’m hoping it comes down in price after Xmas!

I think I’m done except for trying to think of gifts for boys age 4 and 7 to take to friends abroad, I’d really like something ‘typically British’ or just a bit different to what they would usually have (mainland Europe). Have done London red bus and black cab before.

Thank you for the new thread and the title 🤣

I’m all finished but hanging around incase I twitch or see anything nice for myself.

@ChristmasDaydreams it's £15 in mothercare

Checking in to the new thread!

Smiggle have 25%off (50% off some things) and free delivery over £30 until Wednesday

40% off Urbanoutfitter gifts with code ELF

Thank you to whoever recommended the Ordinance Survey Puzzle Book. I gave it to my dad as an early present yesterday because he's in hospital having a triple heart bypass operation. I thought it'd keep him busy while recuperating. He says it's fascinating and can't put it down!

checking in, can’t find the person but wanted to say thank you for the offer of the groomerang thingy. it's to sort out a beard and my undercut so needed to be clippers, but thank you very much for spreading the love

Morphe have 20% off today only and free shipping over £20. Code is MERRYAF

@youryour try John Arbon for wool socks. If 100% wool and for wearing then you want a tightly spun yarn that’s hard wearing like Shetland or Falkland. If it’s just bed socks then a cashmere, alpaca, merino will be fine. If you want merino for wearing then you need the nylon % to stop them wearing out really quickly

Thanks for the nutcracker recommendations. For those who were looking for something similar, I've gone for the Lego version as our Father Christmas delivers toys:

@macnab try One Hundred Stars - they had some beautiful silk scarves for very good prices

Disclaimer: no idea if any good but ..

Robert Dyas have 15% off with code XMAS15 - have just bought Stojo collapsible mugs for my secret santa under click & collect (didn't realise Ryman counted as part of their click & collect stores).

@ChoccyJules Paddington DVD? We watched last night - good fun and very London!

Thanks you for the teapot ideas and thanks reastie for a new thread.
What is happening or has happened with everyone’s birch boxes? One arrived on Saturday but not the other. Does the second one come separately? If I cancel now will I still get the second one? (I should as I’ve already paid for it?). Thanks :)

I'm just about finished too.... just looking for hatchibabies then I'm done! Anyone seen any bargains?? Cheapest I've seen is 39.99

Checking in, even though I'm done. Completely done. All wrapped and everything, apart from the extra presents I've bought after being done.

Don't want to miss any bargains though... and actually I could do with something else for my DH. I've bought him a radio/speaker that he asked for and then just chocolate and alcohol for his stocking.

Ah thankyou @GirlWithTheYellowHat, it was me with the spare Groomerang. If anyone wants it please pm me your address and I will gladly post in the spirit of the thread - no charge.
[ Bought 2 from Amazon by mistake and would have to pay to return the one I don't need so would prefer to give to someone who could make use of it as a stocking filler.]

Thanks for the new thread reastie.
New day, if it was the 2 boxes for £5 one they should have arrived together. Mine came last week. Anytime I have got birchbox ( always when a free box is on offer ) they always come together.

Choccyjules - how about a 3D jigsaw of Big Ben or something? I swear I saw one in not too big of a box the other day, might be the works?

Thanks for the new thread and sending lots of happy thoughts to the posters having a hard time at the moment.

I did the Elemis deal and got a scratch card in my box - £20 off when you spend £80. If it's any good to anyone, the pic is below:

Can anyone help me - my 2.5 year old has been consistently telling everyone that he has asked for a spiky hedgehog for Christmas.
I tried showing him a cuddly one in a farm gift shop but he’s very adamant it needs to be spiky. Only thing I’ve seen is one of those boot scrapers in the garden centre, which is neither safe nor sensible to give to a toddler as it’s very sharp/bristly and heavy! (Cast iron). Santa’s really got his work cut out here hasn’t he! Any ideas?
Thank you

@wornoutboots how about a book on conversation skills
