DustOffYourHighestHopes - not that i have ever seen but Bomb cosmetics on amazon always have deals on the run up to Christmas. Last year I got a Christmas cracker with 3 inside for £6 and split it up for stockings.

OhTheRoses · 11/10/2019 07:13

@Reastie may I just thank you fir the clicky link instructions. They are the clearest I have ever seen.

Elpheba · 11/10/2019 07:17

Straws are back up to £11.99- shame as they looked like a fab gift!

Smileatthesmallthings · 11/10/2019 07:18

I'd be really grateful for an M&S code if there's one going spare? I have my eye on matching pj's and some stockings for us all.

WreckTangled · 11/10/2019 07:19

Wreckfest on PS4 is down to £24.99 on amazon at the moment.

imsorryiasked · 11/10/2019 07:20

Boots have got some of their advent calendars on 3 for 2
Includes toot toot, Disney socks, peppa PJ masks, harry potter, tea, candles and various beauty ones (but not Lego)

Whatsername7 · 11/10/2019 07:20

Boots have got a lush style gift set for £12.50.

woodwaj · 11/10/2019 07:22

@DustOffYourHighestHopes can I recommend mrs snowballs bubble boutique. Home made bath bombs far better than lush and not greasy like bomb cosmetics. I'm expecting some any day if you want a pic let me know :)

buckeejit · 11/10/2019 07:33

@MoonlightBonnet I've ordered a smafolk bundle for ds coming 10. I'm sure I'll hate it all but will post pics when it arrives. Intrigued by the swapping page on fb so odd to check it!

WisestIsShe · 11/10/2019 07:34

Morning and thank you all for the great suggestions.
@recklessgran great idea about Lakeland. They do the marzipan he loves.
@CoffeeAndEnnui you've given me loads of ideas if never have thought of. I particularly like the circus toys.
@Ginxed buckaroo could be fun. If he doesn't cheat like he used to.Grin
@Youvegotafriendinme fantastic name I'm off to check out the Hawkins bazaar website.
@PaddingtonBearHardStare thanks for that, the coffee is definitely on my list for him.

@Bluewavescrashing I have to know, did you go for them?

IJustWantToWearDungarees · 11/10/2019 08:03

I don't rate them myself but I know lots of people love them: Hygge reversible headbands are on a four for £16 deal this weekend. Enter code REVERSE1. They say this equals 80% off.

guiltynetter · 11/10/2019 08:11

I noticed the smiggle advent calendar is on offer at £20, does anybody know if this is in store or just online? don't want to pay £5 postage 🙈

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 11/10/2019 08:11

Turtle dove fingerless gloves have 25% off their 'From the Box' special collections (lightweight, slender, felted or heart) here
Code 25-BOX-OCTT_ is supposed to be automatically calculated at checkout through these links.

Some pairs down to £16.50 apparently

crikeycrumbsblimey · 11/10/2019 08:13

Went into Tesco’s yesterday and they have some excellent offers on Lego - photo attached.
The hamburger can on fire is only 12.50 and is a great set x

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 11/10/2019 08:23

What in the world is a 'hamburger can'? Hmm

ClaraLane · 11/10/2019 08:26

Can anyone recommend somewhere to buy a couple of pairs of odd socks please? BIL won’t wear matching socks and I’d just like a little top up present to go with the gin I’ve got for him. Under £5 if possible!

Teabird · 11/10/2019 08:29

A plea - can anyone find a free delivery code for Hobbycraft? I've got a small order and dont want to pay postage!!

RJnomore1 · 11/10/2019 08:30

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts and why on earth is it on fire?!

PaddingtonBearHardStare · 11/10/2019 08:48

Whoever was looking for Ryan's World stuff there is some reduced on The Entertainer website

Youvegotafriendinme · 11/10/2019 08:49

@DustOffYourHighestHopes I was going to suggest Mrs snowballs bubble boutique as well. The bombs, floats, salts etc are all so much better than lush. I’ve had a few boxes and different products over the last year after being recommended on here.

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts @RJnomore1 I was just about to ask the same thing Grin

IDontDrinkTea · 11/10/2019 08:53

50% extra off sale with code SALE50 at www.pebblechild.com/ they sell lovely ethically made children’s toys

CoffeeAndEnnui · 11/10/2019 09:10

@WisestIsShe, on an earlier thread a PP shared a link for a unicycle website if you decide to go full circus! A few of my recipients (big and small) are getting these too, I really want to have a goBlush

Grambler · 11/10/2019 09:17

@guiltynetter Our local Smiggle had a stand at the door with the £20 calendars last weekend.

Reastie · 11/10/2019 09:42

Urban impressive cupboard

Ohtheroses it wasn’t me that wrote the instructions, it was barbarara 😃

Re these surprise bags of clothes, is there a code that reduces them further or is it just a good buy already?
