@MrsReader https://www.madewithloveandsparkle.co.uk/christmas/blush-santa-hanging-tree-decoration.html?SID=U would something like this work? They often do discounts

whereareyousleep · 15/10/2019 08:02

@SandraOhshair AliExpress have minecraft swords if that's any good for you for about £8

MrsReader · 15/10/2019 08:04

@PaddingtonBearHardStare I think that's gonna have to be the way forward! I don't think they do the name I'm after 😳 thanks

MrsReader · 15/10/2019 08:05

@Tigger83 they are lovely but unfortunately I need the actual stocking thing to go with a set I already have. Thanks though 😊

Yeknom · 15/10/2019 08:15

I'm way too late to ask for a M&S code aren't i? DH has just asked for a dressing gown 🙄

readingnc · 15/10/2019 08:18

@Worrywart21 I haven't been buying the paper. If you usually use card factory paper then it might not be worth it for you.

But I've bought the cast iron stocking holders which are gorgeous. Just put a bauble or some tags in to bring it up to £25. There's also a gorgeous starry wreath I'm eyeing up if anyone else wants to use my code.

Torthecatlady ocado have some nice gluten free foods if you happen to usually shop with them.

Just a reminder I think the sainsburys toy sale starts tomorrow

@readingnc try to keep referral links on the referral thread here to make it fair for everyone and not clog up this thread with everyone posting their referrals. It’s on the first message to remind people. Please everyone do check out the thread to use different links to share the love Thanks

I'm joining the fun. None of my family understand why I'm excited about Christmas when it's still October.

Anthropologie are having a sale. I find it a great place to buy knick knacks for difficult to buy for people. I wouldn't buy at full price as ime most things don't look as expensive in real life. I thought these zodiac sign notebooks could be good for teens.

PinkDaydreams · 15/10/2019 08:27

Gosh this is moving quickly now!
Does anyone know if ikea offer free delivery codes? I’m after the kitchen but begrudge paying £10 delivery. If not, does anyone know how big the duktig play kitchen box is? Don’t really fancy a trip there as not sure it’ll fit in the car with a toddler in the back.

IJustWantToWearDungarees · 15/10/2019 08:29

I have a code I'm not going to use:

20% off at Typo. Single-use, until the end of the month: KWL-S7M23QWPVQ3D

I'm also always on the look out for Le Creuset. We have the cassis colour and they have just discontinued it, so if anyone sees any odds and ends in a purple colour, pls let me know!

Also still on the lookout for bargainous meerkat mugs. I have found one on eBay which is £5 plus £3 postage but I would like to get lower than that if possible.

Thanks so much for this thread. I got the Dr Botanicals and am still waiting on my Grüum bars. Exciting!

PaddingtonBearHardStare · 15/10/2019 08:30

@MrsReader ours has me, DH and DS1 along with our DDog who we lost in August last year. August this year we had DS2 so not sure whether to replace or not put it out Hmm

MulberryPeony · 15/10/2019 08:36

The £22 Nuxe set must have sold out already @RJ

I hate this thread (there I said it!) when you know you’ve missed a stonking offer and even though the remaining offer is still decent you refuse to buy on principle Confused

PinkJam · 15/10/2019 08:42

I think someone was looking for a LOL Surprise Swag OMG Doll - Smyths website says they are due to have it in stock between 14th - 21st October so might be worth keep checking Smile

Carrie76 · 15/10/2019 08:52

Boden code T3L5 gives you 20% off and free delivery. Hope it’s useful to someone!

whereareyousleep · 15/10/2019 09:10

Is the Sainsbury's toy sale in store only does anyone know?

PinkJam · 15/10/2019 09:14

@Carrie76 Thank you very much for the Boden code. Wanted some presents from there but couldn’t justify it before.

Luxplus · 15/10/2019 09:16

@PinkDaydreams never seen ikea do discount on delivery but I has ours in the back of an Hyundai i10 with the 2 kids in the back seats...

Zillaindie · 15/10/2019 09:25

@PinkDaydreams IKEA give package dimensions on the website

@readingnc @gaggiagirl if you want to save on postage, Mountain Warehouse also offers click and collect for free. Though, of course, that’s only helpful if there’s one near you.

gaggiagirl · 15/10/2019 09:52

Thank you CatLadyInTraining my nearest was actually quite close but closed down very recently. I just ordered the items in the end my basket had items my parents asked for so I'm happy enough with thst.

Siddalee · 15/10/2019 09:53

@PaddingtonBearHardStare when our dog died and we had another child we moved the dog to rest against the surround as that was her favourite place to be anyway and hung up the 5 family members

IggyAce · 15/10/2019 10:07

Ordered my dh the Spicery curry legend kit and thanks to a referral code from the referral link saved another 10% so cost just over £22. I’ve added my code to the thread but happy to inbox it to anyone who wants it.

Ewock · 15/10/2019 10:08

Not sure if amy use to anyone but Disney have their xmas Mickey and Minnie mouse teddies for £12.50 (down from £20) if you spend £10.

Works with the FRIENDINME code a pp put on here. However I have a store near me so works out cheaper in store as P&P adds £3.95.

My son has asked for the two dwarf teddies he is missing. I got one yesterday and got Mickey for ds and Minnie for dd. Might go back and buy the other dwarf and get the xmas teddies again for my friends dc.
