Thanks for the watch tip @wornoutboots - perfect for my nephew, they look nicer than the actual Lego watches!

@Jessica78 I know, they look better to me too. If you look around amazon there are various colour combinations so kids don't fight. It's quite a large wrist size though it's fairly easy to take sections out for small adult sized wrists

Sixp Amazon has a few bits of Shadowhunters merchandise, mainly jewellery around £8-10. I've attached an example but there's various things of this genre.

There's also the official Free Form shop but you'd probably have to pay import duties and it doesn't quite seem worth it.

Thank you to whoever recommended simplymylove at the end of the last thread. Just ordered a few mini sticky notes as add ons for presents.
Free delivery and buy one get one half price too.

Poundland have small 'Lego' animals, I know fake Lego is not usually worth it but these are the tiny blocks, like Nano blocks, I'm currently building a panda and its holding together very well so I'll buy another few for stockings.

Store specific probably, but Tesco have little bags of 'Unicorn Poo' marbles reduced to 30p. The marbles are lovely colours, pearly pinks and gold. They also had dino poo too. They come in a nice little bag.

Don't mistake the unicorn poo marbles for chocolate balls or you might break your teeth. Tbf on DP, they do look very similar to those coloured chocolate balls...

@NoWordForFluffy are Matalan codes account specific? If not I’ve got some I won’t use that you’d be welcome to, just let me know which one and I’ll pm you it.

I've PM'd you @jammiebammie!

@grandadwasthatyou that happened to me as well - thought I’d bought stuff on nib fab but no confirmation and no money taken. I thought I’d made a mistake but maybe it was them.

The Spode Christmas tree sets are excellent value, but notice that the mugs in the sets are only about 3” high and 3” wide. I’ve written to Customer Services and they’ve confirmed that.

If anyone sees deals on Zog toys I'd be very grateful. They're normally £15+ but i saw one on Fat Face for £12 but they've just emailed to say they can't fulfil my order. Just can't bring myself to pay £17!

@PaddingtonBearHardStare - email today saying my sacks have been dispatched. Low Cost Parcels will let me know when apparently.

A whole load of singing / peek a boo elephants have popped into amazon's movers and shakers and bestsellers today... Are these a 'thing?' have I missed something?

Trainline have a sale on tickets to Paris, lile and Brussels from £29 pp

Thank you for the Luvabella tip off in the Entertainer. I missed out when they were £25 in Argos and then Smyths was oos when they had them at £35 so I’ve bitten the bullet and bought one each for dd’s (even though dd1 already has a battered old one but it needs a baby brother right?!)

Am I too late for Lands End referral? I can’t seem to find the referrals thread anywhere to check! Just read about the coldest winter ever coming so tempted by new coats!

@Badgerface SSA19 will get you an extra 30% off sale items. Yesterday i got an email with a 24 hour code for 25% off the whole website. They seem to alternate the deals so may be worth waiting a couple of days?

Let me copy the link to the referral thread

@BadgerFace here's the referral thread

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/Christmas/3678600-Christmas-bargains-referral-thread-1?pg=1&order=

Anyone looking for nice stationary BUSYB has 15% off all full priced items with code PLAN2020. Some lovely things on there that would make lovely presents as well as diaries for next year.

Thanks @AndddddHerewegoagain I looked for ages and still couldn’t find it!

Raging that I've just found a £10 Boden code in an email. It was only valid til midnight that day. That was a bit mean wasn't it?!

Sockshop had some lovely Cashmere and bamboo socks in their sale at the moment

Thank you for the Matalan code, Jammie! I now have lots of Christmas goodies winging their way to me!

Is luvabella worth the money!? Thinking of getting it for £35 but if it’s another hatchicrap phase then I shan’t bother

RosieBdy You're welcome! For anyone else interested, Simply My Love
