The Works have some lovely sets in their 2 for £10 offer (£7 each)

www.theworks.co.uk/c/multibuys/2-for-10/2-for-10-gifts#

(Can't be used with any codes but still a decent deal)

Currently 15% off a min £10 spend with SAVE15 (but they do often to a better %off)

@HopecoveGirl I’ve PMed you.

If anyone’s got Ocado they have the set of face masks reduced 1/3 that might make a useful gift.

Oh bugger. It came up on Facebook via A-Z deals. Maybe it’s got a limited use. Think if you comment on their offers they also email you a code

@SkintSanta sorry if this has already been asked - where did you get the hamper baskets from? I've been looking for some as part of Christmas gifts from DS to his grandparents but can't find any at a reasonable price that I like!

@TheHammaconda thank you, there’s still only 200 points on my account for the box I received, but the poster must have used it to get their own referral code so all very odd.

Imdelighted with the box btw it’s amazing for £20

@RJnomore1

Did you only pay £20? If so, your referral points were probably deducted to reduce the price of the box you received.

@HelloSweetlings I would love to see a Christmas dress sounds amazing

@HelloSweetlings I'd also love to see! I'm eagerly waiting a boys 4-5 box

IWOOT have an extreme flash sale ONEHOUR

@Someaddedsugar they are from amazon, here is the link

sea grass baskets

HATCHIMALS 6037073 Game, Multi Colour www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06W9F6BHJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Xq3NDb4CRVAJS?tag=mumsnetforu03-21 50% off

I used someone else’s referral code which gave me £20 off my first box. Then I posted my own referral code and someone used it which should have given me 2000 points for another box as well as them getting theirs for £20.

The green and blacks boxes are down to £8.99 on Amazon (deal of the day). Wonder if they'll go even further again this year...

Also, I have no clue about hatchimals but I know they've been mentioned a few times. The collEGGtibles hatchery nursery is half price on amazon, down to £15.

Ah, just seen @Luxplus beat me to it. I've also got a surprise bag heading my way, so fingers crossed it's a good one. Is it just me, or is the "surprise" element of it getting anyone else in the mood for Crimbo?

@MissMarple0203 was it these I recommended? I still haven't ordered any as can't decide which to get!

stockings

@paddingtonbearhardstare yeah it was thanks! I went with the red/green snowman / reindeer £15 for 2 including p&p. They are really nice and look more expensive than they were. Thanks!

Finally unpacked the boxes that were hidden from DH in my car and organised the gift cupboard. I can't fit anything else in there and I'm no where near done! Took a photo so you can see the chaos! And my current excess recycling!

@coffeetofunction Thanks for mentioning the Adidas code earlier. I convinced DP to have a look for some gym socks for himself in the sale and he ended up buying himself a pair of trainers, a pair of joggers AND some leggings for me which I’ve had my eye on and was going to ask for for Christmas. So the code came in very handy and I didn’t have to spend a penny

Annoyingly I've left the Smafolk delivery in DDs bedroom and there's no way I'm risking waking her, she sleeps like the Princess and the Pea 😂

Pics from google, the fleece I received was a purple toned one plus there was a ruffle skirt too

@HopecoveGirl M&S code for you

I have more so please PM me if anyone else still needs one - don't pinch this one unless Hope says she doesn't need it!

@SkintSanta, I credit quirky baskets and nice storage boxes as the only things which keep me from officially tipping over into hoarder territory!

Hence my plan of adding an extra one of your baskets in for myself when I place my hamper order. They have lids, LIDS, to hide the piles of tiny things which quickly turn to more messes!!!

I understood (maybe misunderstood) the H&M 15% offer to be starting on 13/10 and had set my reminder accordingly (dd needs autumn playing in the woods things badly) but it let me check out my basket with the discount today. Worth doing before sizes sell out.

@UrbanMage I have a similar recycling pile, which is growing as the bloody binmen didn't take our recycling last week. They took all the rest of the street's bins and there was absolutely nothing in there that shouldn't have been. Rargh.

Brandalley order turned up today finally. Really pleased with the half price wool ski socks. I've now finished Christmas shopping but will stay on the thread for ultra bargainous finds for the present drawer! Keep up the good work folks!
