Thanks for all the ideas. I've just bought the reindeer ring toss for xmas day, the chiffon scarfs for my mam and one each for my dsis and myself and the hungry caterpillar baby toy for some friends. With all your help I'm nearly done for Christmas.

Does anyone know of any lego deals? My son is going in for an op soon and has asked for a lego set when he feels a little better. Sadly missed out on the fab boat deals in Argos.

@Ewok - still only buying for young toddler, so not reached the Lego stage yet! I think Home Bargains were doing some Lego bargains Smile

Dolphintrainer thanks I will head to Costco on Friday and hopefully grab some gloves

@likesilver they had originally gone bust but someone took over a month later and is still selling them, or at least was last month when I was browsing the website. Who knows what has happened since then though, so many companies are disappearing overnight now.

@imsorryiasked thanks 🙏

Something a bit different but if anyone has someone to buy for who likes craft beer etc, this bottle opener is a great gift made from old bar tops and dance floors in Gateshead. I bought several last year and wrapped with a bottle of beer - made a great Secret Santa present!

Hi, does anyone know of any good discount codes for the book people?

ItStillLooksLikeRainDear · 09/09/2019 10:51

Panda the code SEPT30 will get you 20% off a £30 spend or TREAT25 will get you £3 off a £25 spend.

I'm looking for a large wooden box. Ideally festive motifs

For all the Xmas stuff to arrive in. Will need to hold 30 books so needs to be pretty big.

Any ideas?

Is anyone else finding the application of the Sass and Belle code completely random? I've tried lots of combinations and sometimes it's on and sometimes it's not. It doesn't seem to depend on anything like sale items etc.. Bamboozled.

SquintEastwood · 09/09/2019 11:33

@GreatBritishbakeofffan - thanks for that!

It's not that set we were looking at but thanks to you I've found the Speed Champions set DS has been after with 1/3 off plus I've got a £5 off voucher meaning I get it for £25 instead of £45 :o

Salsa jeans have a mid season up to 30% off sale. They give 15% off for signing up to the mailing list though I don’t think they stack. I love their secret push in jeans for hiding my mummy tummy Blush

PandaAtTheZoo · 09/09/2019 12:18

ItStillLooksLikeRainDear thank you very much

PandaAtTheZoo · 09/09/2019 12:22

@Dolphintrainer I ordered the spiders to the sainsbury's store opposite work and just picked up. They are fab, I may order another.

Luxplus · 09/09/2019 13:15

Dd loves taking pictures with my old phone, especially with funny faces ect (like snapchat) anybody knows if you can get a camera like that? Dd is 5 years old

Luxplus · 09/09/2019 13:21

NoWordForFluffy · 09/09/2019 13:24
