Thanks for trying though @imsorry. . In going to hope DD forgets about it. Go for the Amazon to up offer and get 2% back from kids start too

@PinkDaydreams you need the uk site
here

There are lots of knobs at Anthropologie 😁 nothing for me really but thanks for the code anyway

There are up to 30% reductions on a few children's pieces at Monsoon. The code AUTUMN15 will give a further 15% off sale items as well as full price.

Don't forget to go through Topcashback first for Anthropologie.
I bought some books and may get more- the Little Feminist Books and Little People, Big Dreams are lovely.
Recipes from the Orchard or The Quick Roasting Tin would also make lovely gifts.

Free personalised calender at photobox with the code FREEA4CAL. Just pay postage of £4.99. I believe it lasts until Monday.

@PinkDaydreams sorry it's anthropologie that's a screen shot of the home page. You need to just look through the accessories part or go into the sale section.

Sorry I am very very late to the craft gin club party but just wondered for anyone who had got one how good a present to give you think one box is? Is it boxed ok?

Long time lurker - does anyone know about the expiry dates for the spicery sets? Thanks!

Another one saying thank you for the Anthropologie code. I've lost at least an hour on that site 50% in awe at beautiful things and 50% amazed at what some people spend money on

I bought a couple of nice candles and a flower bomb thing which will make nice little gifts for someone

@Beebeequeue
Awesome links, thankyou. Added all to my basket. Although the coffee clamp thing link took me to their home page .

Anthropologie site keeps crashing on me :( I’ve now given up on it, thank you for helping though :)

@bigmouslittlehouse tbe craft gin box is perfect for a gift- though you would probably want to re wrap it as it is all packaged not to break. This month was a full 70cl bottle of fun, three individual bottles of different flavoured tonic water, a mini bottle of angostuars (???) Bitter, gingle ale syrup, a mini jar of marmalade, a packet of crisps and two posh bars of chocolate. The contents would make a great gift I think.

There was some talk about coffee machines earlier. The aeropress coffee maker is down to.hust under £19 on amazon. It is a great gift for.anyone who likes coffee. It's meant to be the best way to make coffee short of buying the huge machines they have in coffee shops. They have quite a following and you can watch youtube videos on the best way to work them. Best of all you can use any coffee in them so arent stuck with pods.

I would totally recommend them- heard of them on this thread a couple of years ago.

@Tooner thankyou!

I missed the Lego burger fire van offer as I didn't think I needed it and now DS1 announces it's on his bloody list! Does anyone remember what it went down too?

Oh yes, just what I always wanted, a flamingo side plate from Anthropologie. I'll sleep better tonight. Thank you

@JoyceDivision giant sloth £20 at Morrison’s...

Thanks for the Anthropologie code, I bought a lovely travel book for wanderlusting DNephew and a funky lemon-lime soap for DH stocking!

Thanks a lot for the Smyths heads up. Managed to get a couple of bits from DS’s list.

Badger we’d LOVE a giant sloth for Christmas but I’ve checked 2 Morrisons and only pink unicorns to be seen. Sloths are elusive

Thanks @sleepismysuperpower1

Two different Chilly's bottles on the TK Max website tonight. One is pink with cherries on and branded Chilly's. The other is Emma Bridgewater brand (but made by Chilly's) and is a winter animals theme. Both very cheap - £12.99 and £9.99 when they are normally £25. The animal design was from two years ago - I desperately looked for one last year and could not get one anywhere!

@starryeyedsnowgirl you must have read my mind as I've literally just been looking at the Aeropress for my DH. Just watched a couple of YouTube videos. Just trying to weigh up whether to buy it now or whether I might get an even better price over the Black Friday weekend 🤔

Just got a gorgeous Harry Potter onesie for DS from Matalan. Used 15% off code CC150919
Think it runs out Thursday.
