just an idea for teachers xmas presents, you can get personalized post it notes here (add the teachers name in), which they can then use to stick in the kids jotters or homework diaries. i find most teachers find them useful x

Omg the m&s Irish cream flavours 🤤 I was pregnant last year so could have any. Will be stocking up this year!!

@Vebrithien chocolate orange?🤣

Sunshine196 · 24/09/2019 17:10

@winewolfhowls it is life changing. I might have to get myself 2 this year. I got it when it was on offer for £6 but I'd pay full price for it. Drink it with loads of ice. Nom nom nom. Actually can't wait!

Gustavo1 · 24/09/2019 17:21

@, thanks for your reply. There is a code for two boxes for £10.00 plus p&p that is popping up on my Facebook. The code is WOOHOO.

Home bargains have big gingerbread candles for 2.99 and they are LUSH

NoWordForFluffy · 24/09/2019 17:23

@Sunshine196, yes, mince pie is in, but it's full price. I'll buy shit loads a few bottles when it goes half price (if it does this year).

Bluewavescrashing · 24/09/2019 17:24

I have a hankering for Baileys now. Any good dupes around?

Sunshine196 · 24/09/2019 17:44

Oh exciting. I might get one now just as a sample then go wild when its on offer x

Warning: vague post incoming

On a thread, almost certainly the Christmas board, but can't be totally sure, I read about a site someone was using to get stuff for hampers. It was a discount site for food/drink items that are short dated etc, and it has an American section. I had it open as a tab on my laptop for about 3 months (I know, I know) but windows updated and I can't for the life of me remember. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It's not Approved Foods.

The Elle advent calendar is available for pre order from Hearst magazine (don't forget topcashback if ordering) for £115. Crazy amount but a real treat for someone. Apparently contents worth over £400.

Tooner · 24/09/2019 18:41

@tentative3 could it be Approved foods?

LikeSilver · 24/09/2019 18:45

Back with my Smyths haul. I went tonight as two of the things DS wanted are exclusive to Smyths and I was worried about them going out of stock. It was fine though, not busy at all.

I wanted to get a couple of the LOL Bubbly Surprises from the Argos sale but they have reached stock limit for reservation at all of my local stores 🙄 Are we thinking Amazon might price match?

Someaddedsugar · 24/09/2019 18:49

@hoopdeloop I've just been to Sainsburys and all of the items in your posts are currently at the end of the aisles in the toy area so I wonder if that's the place where they're holding stock in advance of tomorrow...

Someaddedsugar · 24/09/2019 18:51

@Courtney555 I've bought 4 rolls of gift wrap from Cox & Cox and the quality is amazing - and they're quite long rolls too so really good value if you use the referral codes

gaggiagirl · 24/09/2019 18:52

Amazon price matched with lots of things last year. Definitely all Lego, hoping for a bubbly surprise too and they are sold out locally

Sunshine196 · 24/09/2019 18:56

The lol house I want from smyths is out of stock at my 2 nearest stores. I can't go until Thursday morning so hoping they get more stock in. I've reserved one at Argos for tomorrow to see if they will do a discount on it 🤞

Not a bargain as such but if anyone happens to be buying Christmas decorations from Liberty of London, please do a quick Google search before buying them - we buy a bauble for each of us each year and I've just searched the three that I've found and have purchased them from another store for half the price plus free postage!

@Tooner thanks but no, not Approved Foods. It may have had a man's name in the website title possibly.

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight, I think you meant Rex London for your stocking bargains? If so, register for the Rex London Club at the bottom of the home page and you'll get free delivery as long as you're spending over £20.
