Boo. I have a smashed zebra plate and an awol macaw plate from Anthropology...not sure what they are trying to tell me

Does anyone else happen to have a Boden voucher they won’t be using, I seem to keep missing them! Thank you

@spirallingthroughanotherday

Thankyou for the Ryans World tip off.

My little Christmas tree from China arrived yesterday, 2 weeks early. Made my day, and DD helped me 'decorate' already!
My Tu order should be coming through today, and my personalised glasses cloths have apparently been dispatched. Ordered 2, to check the quality, if any good I'll get 4 more (yes, we are a family of glasses wearers!)
I've done for DD now, and for BIL. DM and DD are almost there. I know what I want to get for DH, but waiting for Black Friday.
It's all looking organised, thanks to these threads!

One gripe though. So far, when looking at the Christmas food to order booklets, there is very little vegetarian main options, almost everything is vegan. The only (couple) of things with cheese I've seen also have mushrooms, which DS can't eat. Last year Sainsbury's had a truffled cauliflower cheese strudel, Tesco's had brie and cranberry parcels and M&S had an amazing roast parsnip and chestnut pie. I can't find anything like that this year I don't want vegan! (Rant over!)

Forgot! My little 🌲

@SpirallingThroughAnotherDay thanks have ordered both say 1-3wks delivery hoping arrive in time for birthday on 20th nov

Does anyone have Osmo iPad base at all? Considering getting one for a 3yo and 9yp to share as there seem to be a good range of games. The new kit is £65 in John Lewis by the looks.

Both of the Lego Ninjago sets listed on past couple of pages are actually about £2 cheaper than originally listed.

My throw arrived from eBay in 5 days . £5 free p&p.
Very pleased with . I ordered white .

@BestofLuck I remember from another thread when someone else asked a similar about Funko Pop they were advised to ask on the funko pop fb group think it was one for collectors.

My gruum orders been dispatched.

Going back a few threads did anyone order the mystery Christmas hamper from highland gifts? That’s been about 3 weeks and no show...was hoping it might do mil...

Thanks @IggyAce - yes that sounds familiar to me too. Will investigate.

I think they were dispatching nearer the time, @RJnomore1. From memory!

A random one, because it’s TK Maxx, but the store near my work had children’s Hatley PJs (£10) and Emma Bridgewater mugs (12.99).
This was Selly Oak, I know it’s hit and miss, but might be worth a look

@Vebrithien Lidl have their frozen Christmas stuff in already and have quite a big range of veggie stuff.

Ah thanks fluffy!

Anyone looking at the teeter popped might consider this instead
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MY3PLJQ/?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

It's cheaper at £13.19 + £2.98 delivery
And doesn't have the annoying noise. My kids really like theirs, I got it earlier this year. My son even manages to move around the room on it.

My mountain warehouse items still hadn't arrived and no contact was made after 8 days. I contacted MW and they resent my order with free next day delivery which is great so I now have it. However both times there was no contact from the courier or tracking information. Bit weird. Never had an issue with them before. Puts me off future purchases though.

@BestofLuck it was me looking for impossible funko pops lol, yes there’s collectors groups on Facebook but some of them are astronomical prices and asking for way more than the price guides suggest.
Anywhoos, I’ve found seamus at amazon for £34, looks like he was exclusive to books a million which is why he will be harder to find and why you’ll probably end up paying more unfortunately.

I got an email from Debenhams this morning offering 30% off certain electrical with code KE30
Very few items included but they do have nespresso machines and also kitchen aids, which I’ve never seen so cheap.

debenhams link would help, sorry.

@BestofLuck also, if you bought seamus from amazon USA shipping and imports would bring the total price to £26 so a bit cheaper than the uk amazon, I’ve ordered from there many times and like how all fees are upfront so no hidden costs.

seamus USA amazon

Thanks to all generous mumsnetters, I have my Antropologie order and other bits and bobs. Amazing thread. Now, I’m hoping that someone can help. I’m looking for one of those musical Christmas books (you press the picture on the right for a piece of music for each page). Children are teenagers but I think dd would be excited to receive one of those (she had Nutcracker, I remember, from John Lewis years ago). Or any idea of a really beautiful, impressive book with Christmas theme. Doesn’t have to be bargainous. I know there are plenty of books on Amazon but perhaps you can have some recommendations?

BestofLuck try the entertainer for funko pop figures. Ours has rows of them might be worth a try.

Oh I missed the cute little Christmas tree posts - anyone remember where that was from?
