Can anyone recommend a good pie maker? Either one that makes individual ones or one big one is fine. Dh keeps lamenting that he can never make pies so I thought a pie maker might help him achieve his dream!

Anyone wanting wooden accessories for kitchens then this food mixer looks like a good price.

Ta for the Anthropologie code, couple of bits for DP and a headband for me just happened to fall in my basket!

Yes thanks for the Anthropologie code! Picked up a few nice bits (and a headband...)

@Wiifitmama do you have a link to the chillys emma bridgewater bottle? I absolutely loved the winter animals design so would love to buy! Thanks !

Sorry to ask but could somebody give me the Anthropologie code please?

Thanks so much for the Anthropologie code...I’ve put in two orders to take advantage of the offer 👍🏻 Does anyone have a code for Funky Pigeon, I like their initial canvas bags - I’ve found codes for their cards, but nothing for bags! Love this thread, it’s making me feel super organised...I don’t normally tackle Christmas until at least November - never again!!

@imsorryiasked I ordered that wooden mixer for DD from a previous thread and it's lovely seems really well made.

Thanks for Anthropologie code- (THANKYOU) got my mum some nice animal side plates as she loves her African animals, pity one was sold out so could only get three designs but picked up hair band for dd to make the price up for the code

Thank you makingmiracles. x

Thanks for the anthropologie code, I've some bowls and side plates hopefully coming my way (DH did an order too).

@Helssjbells if you have no luck with the Funky Pigeon code someone (sorry, can’t remember who) linked these reasonably priced EBay initial totes earlier in the thread, I kept the tab open as I’m still considering them!

Great sale on at Sass and Belle for quirky gifts

@NoSquirrels we bought a sloth on Amazon, because thats were we could get it delivered in Denmark. It was reduced down to 23£ and 75 cm tall... So thought it was quite a deal.

Thank you for the Anthropologie code, got a few more bits!

Has anyone managed to use the Anthropologie code more than once?

Does anyone else find that sloth creepy as fuck?

Thank you for the Anthro code. I got a monogrammed Christmas tree decoration for the newest family member and a candle for DM.

I was tempted to order the Meri Meri stamp advent calendar for the children and then let them loose decorating brown paper wrapping on Christmas Eve. Decided against it because my DC are a big young.

Thanks @starryeyedsnowgirl - they have run out of the October box already so moved onto November. Probably all those mnetters!

@WaitWhatOh haven’t caught up with thread but you can find good deals on Le Creuset in TK Max.

Just adding my vote to Starry's for Aeropress coffee makers
They come with little paper filters but you can get a reusable metal one for them too

Easy to use and transport (no glass to break like a cafetière) doesn't need electricity or pods, and makes good coffee

@TwistedAnkle - yes, I've just gone in again and used the Anthropologie code. Worked with my same name and email address.

Thanks for the Anthropologie code. Even though I've had awful customer service from them in the past, I've ordered a fancy hairband for myself!

Chilly bottles at tk maxx look good, they've some nice Crabtree & Evelyn stuff too

White company advent calendar is out today but after adding up, I'm not for getting it. Sadly all the sale stuff in my basket is back up to full price now, grrrr!
