I've just bought the little wooden Xmas tree for DD to have in her room at Uni halls of residence.

SheStoodInTheStorm · 05/10/2019 14:07

I've bought two of those trees...not sure who the second one is for! Thanks for the link.

Courtney555 · 05/10/2019 14:11

Just bought a tree. No idea for where. I'm a sucker for cheap p&p Blush

@queenofelves what's the turtle doves code for 15%? I do not need a fourth pair but I want green ones!

Also just a heads up that the Hotel Chocolat sachets have a short expiry on them. I can't imagine they wouldn't last much longer than it says but just in case you're giving them for gifts and the recipient might be fussy.

Thank you so much to everyone on this thread. I have lurked for the past few years and saved so much money! Whenever I have any offers sent through I'll post them here.

What was the Mentoes thing, pls? Have I missed it? DH loves a Mentoe.

Theimpossiblegirl · 05/10/2019 14:33

I have no idea why I just ordered an advent tree, but it seemed too good a deal to not take up.

Used SAVE15 here for 15% off deodorants and balms with naice essential oils in. They arrived today and I'm v happy. They smell divine! Free postage which helps!

Boots 20 points for a pound on spends more than £50

@cakegoblin we’ve had that advent calendar for about 5 years and it’s definitely been worth the money!

The kids get really excited about opening it each day and adding to the nativity. It means that I don’t have to pay for a different advent calendar every year (although I have sometimes still had a cheap chocolate one).

Still looks as good as new so would highly recommend!

BigmouseLittlehouse · 05/10/2019 15:24

@cakegoblin oh my I wish you hadn’t posted that advent nativity - it looks so lovely but so expensive Smile

NaraDeer · 05/10/2019 15:24

I’ve got a really odd request, I’ve Googled and tried Etsy and I’m at a loss.

I would love to buy a tree topper, angel or star, that is made with cremation ashes added to it.

DH died in May and DD(5) and I are feeling really sad at the thought of Christmas without him.
We’ve both got beautiful necklaces with his ashes in that help us feel close to him so I think a tree topper might just help us feel him there that little bit more.
Would be really grateful if anyone has any suggestions.

To the pp looking for the sylvanian families items, I’ve found Jac in a box generally cheaper than anywhere else. They seem to have quite a good selection, so may have what you are looking for.

MrsLeclerc · 05/10/2019 15:31

@NaraDeer what a lovely idea, so sorry for your loss. I haven’t seen tree toppers but have seen some decorations. www.ashesmemorialjewellery.com/angel-tree-decoration/

An American site does urn decorations www.inthelighturns.com/memorial-ornament-keepsakes.html

I hope you find something that makes him feel that little bit closer over Christmas Flowers

Smileatthesmallthings · 05/10/2019 15:33

@queenofelves Thanks for the converse tip - just directed DP to my Christmas present!

Ewock · 05/10/2019 15:33

MorbidMuch do you have a link fir the cancer research duvet sets? I can't find them on the site. Thanks

LikeSilver · 05/10/2019 15:42

@BernardBlacksWineIceLolly Thank you! DS is desperate for that, I have his Christmas gifts but I’ve grabbed it for his birthday Smile

margaritasbythesea · 05/10/2019 15:46

Serenity25 - thanks. I shall try that site for sylvanian families

imsorryiasked · 05/10/2019 15:58

@NadaDeer this star shaped one comes in brass / silver / turquoise / white on either Amazon or Ebay. The stand looks like it's perfect for putting on top of a tree?
Alternatively, choose a decoration that you love and put some ashes inside it? You could easily glue a stainless steel pendant - available on Ebay - inside an angel's skirt (although that sounds vaguely wrong!)

Forgot the photos
