Finally managed to get into Sainsbury's. Wasn't looking for anything big, just some fillers for DD, DN and Lego for BIL. Success!
This was my haul for under £18, so rather pleased with it Grin

Due to renovating our bedroom, my present box has been inaccessible for almost 3 weeks. I need to get in and sort out what I've actually got!

Thank you so much Trumpton! It’s so kind of you to do this Smile

@Tentontessie not read whole thread so may already have been mentioned but I’m sure I’ve bought one of those car tracks in advance from either John Lewis or Jojo Maman Bebe.

MyIncapableOne · 18/10/2019 08:20

@mummyof2boys30 Thank you so much for this. My DC was on about a rc car that went on ice, water etc and I had no idea what they were talking about Smile

My parents have bought DD the Ikea kitchen for Christmas, can’t wait for her to play with it!

If anyone here works within the NHS then I can recommend signing up for the Blue Light Card which costs £5 for 5 years and gets discounts in all sorts of places like Joules, Bill’s and many more. I use mine all the time!

So... have you ever got a Christmas gift that you recognised from these threads and thought “she must be a mumsnetter”?

Molton Brown shower gel baubles were given a lot at my school 2 years ago.

@mashpot what was the Fitbit offer?

TakeMeToYourLiar · 18/10/2019 08:48

Does anyone know any way to get a discount on a tonie box? DS would love it but the starter and a couple of books is £100

MulberryPeony · 18/10/2019 08:50

QVC code through in email this morning:

CupoTeap · 18/10/2019 08:53

Can anyone remember the personalised top trumps details, I've lost which thread they were on thx

mummyof2boys30 · 18/10/2019 09:00

My elder son already has the thunder trax so getting for his brother. We brought it up rock pools in the mountains in the summer. Kids loved it

Bluewavescrashing · 18/10/2019 09:01

Be careful with Buyagift. No issues with quality or anything but I put about £80 worth of stuff in my basket last black Friday, really good discounts and spent ages looking for stuff. Because they all came from different suppliers the postage was applied individually so I spent about £16 on postage. However the discounts were very good and I'd spent so long looking I sucked it up. Just be aware as it can surprise you at checkout!

Theonlyoneiknow · 18/10/2019 09:20

@shantotto I love the toast, where did you get it from please? It looks like the Kidplush stuff! So cute. I have a pizza slice that looks like that too!

thaegumathteth · 18/10/2019 09:20

Unihorn · 18/10/2019 09:24

Bicnod · 18/10/2019 09:25

2 Sparks codes if anyone still needs one?!

PinkSpring · 18/10/2019 09:26

Thanks, just ordered the reusable cups from Anthro. I kept looking at stuff but the postage put me off, when that code was first about free postage worked on most mugs and cups but they changed it after a day and I didn't want to spend £5 on postage!!

I figure they will make nice gifts for DD's pre school teachers
