Just in Sainsburys and the toys from the half price sale are now reduced to clear! Added a few photos but the playmobil zoo now £36,black & decker tool bench now £10. Lots of toy story 4 reduced.

Does anyone know best place/way to get urban decay naked palletes cheaper?

TK Maxx usually have them in, or I bought DS some from EBay BNIP for £13.

Sorry that was to @PinkDaydreams

Thank you @buckeejit hopefully mine will turn up soon 🤞🏻

If anyone else has a Charles tyshirts voucher code no min spend please could I have the last one has been used and one use only:)

@bikinibottommuffintop are they genuine ones the ones from eBay? I’ve seen a few on amazon but when looking at reviews they turn out to be fakes. I’d not thought of tkmaxx! I’ll look in there too.
Does anyone know when debenhams have a sale on please? One of their flash 20% off weekends or whatever they do now?!

@PinkDaydreams I've ordered these for DH and DS, price depends on size as usual with amazon!

Meant to add, we usually buy from Debenhams and I see no difference at all with the product or the packaging.

I’ve compared the box and the actual boxers to some of DS existing pants that I picked up in the CK outlet store and they look identical.

Thank you! I’ll get noseying on eBay. I missed an Asos code yesterday which I was gutted about as they’ve got a few on there.
USC have them too but I begrudge paying for delivery.

Does anyone have any recommendations for fun board/card games that work well for small family groups (all young adult or older)? We do own quite a few already but I have birthday and Christmas presents to buy and would appreciate any suggestions. Current favourites are Sushi Go, CamelUp, Codenames, Selfish ... and I'd recommend any of these (good for older children too) but not sure of lower age limits. Thanks

spooky for your 12 year old dd how about some headphones to watch YouTube on. Amazon had some of those wireless earbud ones for £14.99 which had pretty good reviews. or some different art stuff, learn to draw in a different style book (I got my dd a comic one and a Kawaii one last year). also got my dd a comic strip book to draw in and nice pens. kawaii stationary is lovely and v cheap from wish/ebay. or an origami book, again gone down well with my 11 year old. although I do keep finding random cats and whales around the house!! the 7 year old marvel fan how about a t-shirt from qwertee. they do limited edition designs each day (only available for 48hrs) often doing marvel or there's some in their shop. sign up to the newsletter for £1 off each day. or the Spider-Man new film is out soon maybe speak to his parents about getting him that on DVD.

This wall climbing car is on a limited time deal on amazon. I haven't had one but I've ordered one based on the great reviews so fingers crossed!

Home bargains have some annuals in inc shoot, match, LOL and mine craft. They also had cloth eye make up remover clothes 3 for £1.69 and make up remover fAce cloths for £1.99 for 3

@lolarabbit 5 second rule is good fun. I don't think the full board version really offers anything over the travel version so I'd just go for that (which is obviously cheaper).

20% off Red Letter Days with code GIFTIDEAS. I expect you can currently get better deals on buyagift though, unless their codes have finished.

@lolarabbit dobble, ligretto, mind the gap, skipbo, quirkle (they do a travel pack) are all favourites in our house.

Does anyone remember the code for getting a discount and free postage on the sample box for The Real Coffee Bag Co?

Great @73kittycat73

I love that origami idea! That would really suit her, especially as she keeps saying she wants to visit anime studios in Japan so I think origami would interest her.

@Spam88 and @Handmademitlove - thanks for your suggestions, will have a look

@thaegumathteth thank you for the Yours clothing code!

@handmademitlove you should see what searching 'Mind the Gap' brings up on Amazon 😬

Code CART10 gets 10% off at the Real Coffee Bag Company - I think the free postage is automatic but only on the sample box. [Personally a bit disappointed by the sample box as it just comes in a brown cardboard box with address label stuck on and although the bags are in individual cellophane wrappers. I think I will need to find a Christmassy box/envelope to put them in if they are to be gifted.] The tins of 10 bags are great though at £4.99 and make a lovely gift.
The £15 BUYAGIFT code CRM24806BFJ expires at midnight tonight if anyone is thinking about that. I've used it a number of times - several 3 course meals with wine at Prezzo bought here at only £15 a go.

@Ilikesweetpeas
Im still waiting for mine. I ordered 2, have received the magazine but no gin yet 😭

I bought the wall climbing car some time ago. Unless they’ve changed it it’s small and really flimsy. I wouldn’t buy it again.
