You're probably all way ahead of me with this, but just discovered that Lisa Angel is on Topcashback.

@Dorsetcamping I know!!! It was somebody who has created a thread in the Christmas topic asking for ideas for stockings for her GP who were coming to stay at Christmas so she wanted them to have a stocking like everybody else in the family!

Some interesting ideas but I don’t remember seeing that really stood out that I hadn’t seen before.

Glad everyone likes the glasses cloth idea - think I’ve posted it on the Christmas bargain threads for at least the last 5 years (albeit with different names!). They also fold up small and make good cracker presents if you need those.

@Reastie personalised photo glasses cleaning cloth would be a useful thing to add to your main list. I’m on my phone so can’t do a good link but they’re about £3 from eBay - do a search on that phrase and they come up; there’s only 2 or 3 people that do them.

@wibbletooth I just got one for £2.30! Last one though. Brilliant idea - adult niece is moving abroad before Xmas so wanting light and fun and meaningful bits for her. She’s had an Xmas abroad before but that was nyc. Not actually emigrated

Brill idea and different

@Unihorn if you happen to be in the North East Barbour have a factory shop

@wibbletooth thank you that is an amazing find, now just need to find a fab pic of the kids.

Very new customer offer is spend at least £50 and pay with your credit account, use NXVFN as the promo code to get £25 back.

Better than the 10-20% offer I found the other day if you're not spending a huge amount.

Good morning my lovely bargain hunters! Not much to add today (luckily as I’m skint until next week!)

Saw this photo on Facebook, a wooden Hogwarts advent calendar for £15. (Sorry for bad quality screen shot but you get the gist).

Smiggle have an extra sale up to 60% off here

And TESCO have terrys chocolate oranges for 75p today apparently

Sorry, Hogwarts train advent calendar is from primark.

Lovely wooden or cloth nativity advent calendars at articles of faith reduced to £16 and £10 respectively. We have been using an older version of the cloth one for 16 years and still going strong.

@Sunshine196 I can't get the website to work it just says on sale now and won't let me do anything 😭

@WreckTangled keep trying. Took me a few mins but I've just got 8 for mcr

Who was it looking for fairy garden stuff? In the past Poundland have had some bits with their gardening section.

Wibbletooth thanks for the idea, I’ve ordered one soonce it arrives I’ll add it to the list so I can vouch for that seller link

Unihorn Sanford discount shopping centre had a Barbour shop last time I went.

I went through the ticketmaster link in the end but the seats were worse than the ones on o2 priority so went back through that. And they were cheaper!

Oh no how annoying! I managed to get lower tier so I'm quite happy with them. Didn't want to pay over £80 per ticket for the better ones as i had to buy 3
Excited x

We've got lower tier too so I'm happy with that. I've been high up at the o2 and it's not great but I've had similar seats to this before and they're pretty good

Any spare matalan codes floating about that nobody is using please pm me.

This looks nice as a teenage stocking filler or nursery/teacher gift maybe?

Or a 6ft giraffe?!

Unihorn Town and Country have sale on Barbour at the moment

Not sure if mentioned but the argos ebay store has the Hatchimals Eggventure Game for £3.99 with free delivery argos ebay link

Hi everyone,

I have just found this post so hope you don't mind me joining.
I am looking for some ideas and inspiration to what to get my 2 yr old little girl, 4 yr old girl, 5 yr old boy and my elder two girls age 10 and 12?
Struggling this yr any ideas really appreciated.
Thanks

So far my 5 year old son is getting
Books, we're just stepping up to "real" books
A flat football, he's desperate for one of these. No idea why?
A drink holder for his bike
A remote controlled monster truck
Some black panther claws
A lifesize cut out of black panther
The set with mini real bricks and cement you can build with
A new toy tractor
Hot wheels cars

I'll probably wait until closer to the time to get the rest in case he develops an obsession with something

Went to Tesco today and the terrys chocolate oranges are still up at £2.50 which was disappointing!

MrsCrimbo74 that's great thank you! We're in rural Wales so getting to an outlet nearby would have been very difficult.

Thanks for the nudge about Lisa Angel - just ordered a little sign for DD’s nan. We’re in France atm and just picked up some little glass figures which will be part of Christmas presents. I’ve also bought a gift voucher for Yes Bebe, planning to buy one a month and will then order DD’s presents in November when I get paid.

I remember there were some referrals around last year for razors - can anyone remind me of the brand please? I think they were for safety razors.
