They have a flash sale 75% off make up, go on their website and it tells you about it. Think its FLASH75
Gutting I have no one to buy make up for

I’m after a new iPod but don’t really want to spend more than £150 if possible. I take it that they are bringing out a new model as all the6th generations are sold out on curry’s. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?

They’re lovely words @QVCismyJam. It is a lovely thread isn’t it. I’ve picked up lots of bargains over the years. Am trying to be more observant about spotting stuff worth a mention though.
@PinkDaydreams I’ve bought a lovely purse from FatFace sale and think they had passport holders. Sounds like QVC’s given you a good tip however!
Thank you to op for the marshmallow tip - bought some for my vegetarian niece.

Thank you so much for the nip+fab link! What an amazing find.

Can anyone help me find a reasonably sturdy play kitchen for my dd who is turning two. Obviously needs to be barginous and I'm struggling to know what to buy

@rarejuicegoose I'm a cm and I've had the IKEA one for years. It's still in perfect condition despite daily heavy play and it blends in because it's neutral colours. I think I'd have been totally fed up of a garish one by now. here

Jammie sorry, didn’t spot your lego link in last thread

Hurrah that my nip and fab tip helped so many
Thanks to whoever gave the dr botanicals code. Teen daughter will love that range.

A set of 30 sharpies in my local tesco for £16 today.

Thanks WaitWhatOh for the Nip+Fab code. Got £28 worth of stuff for £7! It’s all for me though 😂

12 Sharpies for £5 at Wilkos

@Chocolateteabag
I keep an eye on the shopping telly forum for advance news of QVC tsv offers. A couple of posters on there manage to find out what is going to be in the TSV before it goes live. There's an elemis offer coming up on 15th September, which looks like it will contain the Marine Cream. The forum thread link is here:

There's usually another offer leading up to Xmas and these have previously been great value (a mix of skincare and body products). Great for splitting into a few gifts.
Hope this helps!

Anyone seen any jewellery boxes ok for 6 and 11 year old? X

Paperchase have 20% off with the code FUTURE20, and they are advertising discounts for both students and teachers. Not sure if they stack though
here
(First time trying a clickable link for a while so fingers crossed it worked!)

Oh and there is some decent stuff in the paperchase outlet too. The 20% off doesn’t apply to it but there are still bargains to be had

Thank you @WisestIsShe I knew the ikea one would come up. Unfortunately I live 2 hours from the nearest one and the delivery is so expensive

What about this jewellery box

John Lewis do some lovely kids jewellery boxes

@rarejuicegoose is second hand an option? The ikea ones come up for sale a fair bit and really are long lasting. You might find one locally.

I can vouch for the kid craft red vintage kitchen but I can’t find a bargain for it at the moment. Ours lasted well through years of play and is still going strong for my nieces and nephews. I definitely didn’t pay full price for it so might be worth holding out.

Aldi have had a wooden kitchen close to Christmas the last couple of years. Looks lovely though I’ve no idea of the quality and it was very well priced.

@rarejuicegoose we have the aldi one. Its smaller than the ikea one my son loves it. Its still standing almost a year later!

@Hedgyhoggy Apple usually have a big product rollout in the Autumn following a conference in September. They pretty much always use this conference to announce the new iPhone(s), but I'm not sure if they will be bringing out a new iPod or not.

@Tooner can you remember any more details about the hamper? Been scouring the wilko website to no avail!

My DD (9) got this for her birthday and absolutely loves it. She’s labelled everything!

I’ve just bought 2 more for the present cupboard

Argh, gutted to have missed the magnetic blocks offer 🤦‍♀️
