margaritasbythesea I did the same for dds but I bought an advent box from Disney sale after Christmas it had the 24 small boxes and I put a celebration choc in for each day, I had either a joke or a quote from a favourite Christmas film, they loved the Muppet Christmas Carol.

If anyone is interested in some personalised jewellery then I can recommend posh totty. I got a gorgeous necklace about 4 years ago and I rarely take it off. Anyway, each month they seem to be doing an offer. This is the August one. You need to put in offer code lovefree for free delivery too. You can subscribe to their email to get monthly offers.

@Barbarara there are some on Ebay (but don't know about shipping to you) - eg 233214026809

Would anyone be able to PM me their Boden £10 off a £30 spend please? Would hugely appreciate!

These scars are £1.80 each on Amaxon buy 2 and get 20% off, so £2.88 for 2 delivered. I've ordered for DD and DS teachers www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0157PGDSA?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

I have one studentvera. Will PM you now. Expires midnight.

Hi all, looking for some suggestions. My brother (Age 41.) gets a bit stressy so I want to make him a relaxation kit for Christmas. I've already got him some man candles, and have my eye on some relaxing bath salts on Amazon, but apart from that I'm stuck. Maybe a face mask? Budget is about £30.00. Any ideas would be gladly received.

kittycat barber pro is a really good brand for men’s skin care, my dh loves their masks.
They have this set at look fantastic and with the code 20SKIN it takes it down to £9.60. You get good relaxing Epsom bath salts (westlab) in supermarkets now too cheaper than amazon.
What about a nice bathrobe too?

Thank you Jammiebammie, will go check that out now.

That looks just the ticket, thanks for that!

These striking foil feather print scarves popped up when I was searching Amazon for a star patterned one. There are other prints available but the rose gold feathers look lovely and festive.

They are £5.99 each with a buy 3 get 1 free option (among other discounts) in the drop-down box below the price.

Glad some liked the joke Advent calendar idea. I got a very cheap wooden Advent calendar from Home Bargains last (9.99 iircr). Will post jokes if anyone is interested once I have retrieved mine from the chaos that is my house move.

@gustavo1 excellent. Glad they’re coming in handy. Already beats last years contribution of mahabi slippers

If anyone spots any bargains on them though please let me know, I’ve worn my winter ones through and am dying for a summer pair. After last years tkmaxx bargain though I’m loathe to pay full price for them!

My amazon photo cloud tells me "on this day last year"... I bought a spode Christmas plate from tk maxx (took a photo to share on this thread) so I would presume, going by last years purchase, tKmaxx will have their spode Christmas stuff in.

I managed to not buy Spode. Only because my credit card company needed me to update my details though (it seems to be a new thing in that I've just changed mobile provider and they all want me to update my details with them!). So I didn't do that well, willpower-wise, really!

I missed the Tokyo Laundry thing. Will look!

Fantastic price for the LEGO 60195 City Arctic Expedition Arctic Mobile Exploration Base on amazon at the moment. 39.99.

Morning,
Have lurked for ages, managed to catch the later threads last year, but was determined to do better this year!
Thanks for the Spode tip-off. One set for my DSis, one for my birthday

Has anyone seen/used anything else like the Holland and Barrett zero waste kit? It looked great, but been steadily out of stock since I've been looking.

My offerings are small (and in separate posts, as when I leave the page to copy the link, I lose everything I've typed...!)

Firstly, £1.39 wooden animal whistle suitable for a pre-schooler, with free P&P

Next, £2.10 including P&P wooden Very Hungry Caterpillar baby toy

Thanks for the Tokyo laundry. That's one for dh

Lastly for now, £1.68 with free P&P, an inflatable reindeer antler hoop toss game. Had this last year, and it was brilliant, everyone joined in!

Reindeer toss game

Ocado still have some good toy offers including:
ELC light & sound buggy driver £12
Janod pull along tractor Hen £12.99
Lottie Doll Stables £29.99

Thanks @Vebrithien that's perfect for playing with the dc and cousins in the afternoon!!!

@SkintSanta I thought I’d read that mahabi had gone bust.

Thanks @Vebrithien. I've ordered the antler game for fun and games on Christmas Day and the Very Hungry Caterpillar thing for DS2 who is 5 weeks today so will be just short of 6 months at Christmas

ST19 for 40% off lands end today. Not sure if its valid for children's clothes but you can use fun30 to get 30% off

Also £20 off on the referral thread from lots of people

I don't gain anything from these codes!
