Mr Frosty is £10 on Amazon. I also got a pop up offer for £10 off a £30 spend for downloading the app, which worked right away.

PaddingtonBearHardStare · 27/09/2019 05:35

Although my puppets haven't turned up my Very Hungry Caterpillar arrived yesterday!

I’ve ordered the Lol bubbly surprise from Argos! Finally! I’ve paid for it to make sure I got it at the offer price so let’s see if it’s honoured.

BadgerFace · 27/09/2019 06:20

Many thanks @Moltenpink for the Mr Frosty tip! DD6 really wanted one last year but I thought £20 was too expensive. £10 is a great price!! She will be delighted by this surprise this Christmas. (And of course I can also fulfil my childhood longing for one... Ahem. ☃️)

Not Christmas related, but it is bargain gifting is after, if anyone can help.

Have 2 family 21st birthdays coming up. One girl one boy. Both are working.

It needs to look like about £50 each but I don't have that at the moment.

DaisyChops · 27/09/2019 06:49

Morning everyone, loving all the tips so far. Ocado toy sale on and got a couple of good half price deals...playmobile bike shop playbox half price at £7.49 and a lovely little playmobile 123 pirate island half price at £6.49

PinkSquash · 27/09/2019 06:51

Thanks for the DrB code, I love the Pomegranate sleep mask and it was an absolute bargain! I bought the superfood gift sets as it comes with 4 full size products for a couple of quid more than the Pomegranate mask alone, so these will be going into family gifts.

If anyone sees any bargains on an adult scooter please let me know, DS1 is 6' tall and his old scooter is far too small, thank you.

I love these threads Flowers

Please can anyone suggest a good hairdryer. DD has long thick hair and lots of it. Just starting to want to style it. As I have a pixie cut never needed a dryer

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 27/09/2019 07:10

jumped on the Dr botanicals bandwagon!! but it's all for me i have terrible skin maybe a change would be good!

also have a lol bubbly surprise I'm picking up today.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but if you sign up to the entertainer birthday club you get a 20% off code. I've signed up with children who's birthdays are now in September, October and November!! If you don't get a code they respond fast on Facebook messenger with a new one :)

and jammie they had loads of Spider-Man funko pops on there if you wanted some more :)

imsorryiasked · 27/09/2019 07:10

@TakeMeToYourLiar how about a star constellation map for their birth time & place? these are half price at £19.90?

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 27/09/2019 07:11

jammie meant to add there's one Spider-Man with a Christmas jumper on plus a Christmas hulk if she likes any other marvel characters :)

Dreamqueen · 27/09/2019 07:21

Thank you for the Dr B code. Ive got a lifetimes supply!!

TakeMeToYourLiar · 27/09/2019 07:22

Lovely idea @imsorryiasked but I think it would be different as they were born in New Zealand and Australia?

Though I'm not an astronomer by any means so happy to be corrected

Serenity25 · 27/09/2019 07:34

The fragrance shop has 20% off until midnight tonight with code 27GE2H4RD4f.

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts I didn't know that about the entertainer. Great tip. Thank you.

Vebrithien · 27/09/2019 08:17

Looking for a Soda Stream set for DS this Christmas, seems to be about the £80 mark. Has anyone seen these discounted before? Are they likely to be in Black Friday?

@TakeMeToYourLiar I've got one of those maps and you can put in a time date and place.

Fuckingfuckssake · 27/09/2019 08:55

Morning, I've just posted on the referral thread, $5 off the Blippo Kawaii box, I've ordered the Halloween one but you could wait for the Christmas version. We get a free box if anyone uses our link 😊

ADayAlwaysHasToEnd · 27/09/2019 09:04

@Vebrithien amazon always has them reduced for Black Friday

MissRainbowBrite · 27/09/2019 09:19

@PinkSquash look on Skatehut for a scooter or if you're near there shop in Birmingham it's well worth a trip. At 6ft tall you'd probably be looking at an adult scooter. They helped us loads when we got one for DS and could advise which had the taller handles. They aren't pushy and are very knowledgeable with scooters to suit all budgets.
