Science and nature magazine - 3 issues for £3
Great for teenagers

My Matalan codes were emailed to me then sent in the post the next day..?

There are a fair few blackout dates and times on the cheap Paris tickets.

@Lc2006
Thanks - just ordered loads of pressies!

@Sneezein3s I only ordered one but very tempted to order the others now can't go wrong at that price really

@Lc2006 thanks for the handbag tip

@Lc2006 just looked at the measurements they’re only 16cm wide - I think the picture is somewhat deceiving but still great little gifts for £3 each!

@babycakes1010 Home Bargains have some minecraft Lego sets in, I think they were £12.99.

I’m looking for an earphone case/tidy for dd (13) - not ear pods just would fit any in the ear phones. She’s always forgetting them or they’re in a tangle so I’d like to get her something to help maybe on a keychain- I’ll know it when I see it. Under £5 if possible...

Following on from the Good Housekeeping subscription tip, there's also £4 cashback on TCB for Hearst Magazines, bringing the price down to £6 for 6 issues plus the cookbook! I'm going to pop my referral code on the referrals thread (where else) if it's of any interest to anyone.

@Sneezein3s Oh no that is smaller than I was thinking sorry . Your right though the pictures are very deceiving.

Going to keep mine as it was for my niece anyway so size may not be too bad. If you go into your orders in your account you can request a cancellation though for any one that has ordered and no longer wants one.

Thanks @tabbycat985, my SiL is now sorted as she's a Slytherin fanatic i may have also got myself two t-shirts!

@scrappydappydoo have you ever used wish? I got something similar from there for my charger and ears to carry in my handbag.

@scrappydappydoo not christmassy but I just use an empty smint box!

Oh those pictures of the bag are a bit deceiving! 😂 I had bought it for an adult but I might give it to my niece instead. Lesson learned to check the product description!

In Amazon's deal of the day section they have some etched LSA glassware in a 'Kew' style. I got a jug (14.99 from 45) and the glass dome (45 from 75) as a main gift for my parents. A nice discount, and very pretty! They also have champagne glasses, wine glasses, a carafe etc.

I got the GH Christmas cookbook last year. It's lovely! I'm disappointed there's not a different gift this year though!

FF20 gives 20% off thin optics which are tiny folding reading glasses. You can get a case that sticks to the back of a mobile phone or a case on a key ring. They have a lifetime guarantee and replace them free except for the shipping which is $10
I got them for dh and fil and both love them. You probably wouldn’t use them to settle down with a good book but they’re very, very handy out and about

@scrappydappydoo what about something like this or this for keeping dds headphones tidy? They also have other colours in both. They also have more novelty ones like this which are slightly dearer but also cute. Lots of different styles if you search earphone/earbud tidy on amazon.

Oh I like the turtle - thank you! Love these threads

Matalan codes I found quite hidden in emails, were just at the bottom of a promotional email, had to scroll down to see it.
I’ve got a £15 off £75 code if anyone would like it?

Yes please to the code @Jammiebammie
DD needs some new bedding

Two for £45 on Smiggle advent calendars until Tuesday

early bird

Hobbycraft still had their cardboard paint your own house/castle/shop in store for £8.50 this week, weren’t available on line last time I checked.

I think I must've opted out of Matalan emails, hence not getting a code. I've now rectified that!
