@Bluewavescrashing that made me laugh!!

@beadyboo You didn’t mention your budget, but I was shopping for a uni laptop recently and went with a HP one from ao. It was a good spec, £499 with £50 cashback. I found their prices better than PC Worlds.

@Someaddedsugar thank you for the wrapping paper info

I think the DrB soap comes free with selected items, you should get a pop up asking you if you want to add it for £2 but it gets discounted with the 50% code then that is deducted at checkout, so free

I got Harry Potter whomping willow Hogwarts from Amazon today for £44!
Normally £60.

Making my return to the thread, purse at the ready! I bought so many things last year because of these posts

Does anybody know if Boden discount codes come up very often? I've never shopped there until last week, I ordered a coat for my DD and I had a 25% off code. it's too small and I have to return it but now the code doesn't work anymore! gutted because I love it.

guilty the same thing happened to me but because I wanted an exchange they honored the discount! :D there should be a returns slip in your package, theres an option on it for exchanges and the items online all have product codes. Good luck :)

@myfriendkimberly thanks for ispy book idea... It will be a perfect gift for my husband from our toddler

My puppets arrived last week too. My hungry caterpillar hasn't turned up yet though!

Oh, almost forgot, @Sunshine196, here's the Irish cream selection in M&S.

@NoWordForFluffy I went into my local today & they didn't have any. How disappointing. It's not a massive one though. I'll keep looking. I thought they were £12 last year so I'll get a couple for £10. Don't want to risk missing out!

I thought they were. I wonder if they'll go down to £5 at some point then?! I'm probably holding out for half price.

If anyone needs a unicorn onesie, I ordered one for DD and it arrived today - the quality is really good

I may have revisited the drbotanicals to buy Christmas presents for the teachers plus extra soap. Also got the ispy books but from the book people as we don't buy from Amazon.

I’ve jumped on the Dr B bandwagon too! That’s 3 x Nans presents done plus some soap for my dad and my misc present box.

Can I ask what site you are all ordering the Dr B from? There seem to be several!

stocking fillers here

Thank you so much for Dr B, some lovely bits me, fussy teen dd and my sister.
Home Bargains have Reece’s advent calendars for 4.79, they are 14.79 on Amazon.

Re Perfumes.

Since my post a couple of days ago, I have had private messages asking for the website address for perfumes 80% cheaper than in the shops, they are not EDP or EDT and contain less water and alcohol than most in the shops, they are Parfum (and contain 20% and 30% oil (women), 16% and 24% oil (men), which means they are stronger and therefore last longer.

Tryingtobeorganised go to the us Dr botanicals site then select the UK flag

Thanks! Lots of cleansing bars ordered!

I just bought 9 bars of cleansing soap that, not only do I do not need, I’ve never even tried before. Excited for them to come now

If anyone had seen Lego Hulk Vs red Hulk cheaper than £80 it would be much appreciated ds has asked for this alongside a budgie which he definitely won't be getting.

£5 off £30 spend ( orange) or £10 off £50 spend (green) Lakeland if that's any good to anyone
