Thanks @AllAboutMyBoys for posting the Buckley code! I've just ordered a Christmas gift and something for myself in the sale, justified by the money off the gift Smile

Has anyone seen any good offers on Orchard Toys, included in 3 for 2 or anything like that?

moobar · 03/11/2019 15:28

@Tamtam86 on boots with 15 percent off

user1374384 · 03/11/2019 15:32

Sorry if it's already been mentioned, in a rush to get to work so can't catch up on all the pages, but there is an Amazon lightning deal for TP link smart plugs nearly half price at £12.99. I've ordered one for the Christmas tree lights.

ToTheRegimentIWishIWasThere · 03/11/2019 15:33

I've missed a few threads and so not sure if this has been mentioned but world of books. Brilliant for second hand/nearly new books. Free delivery to the UK.

Tamtam86 · 03/11/2019 15:34

@moobar Perfect, thank you!

SushiGo · 03/11/2019 15:55

I've got small nerf guns for less than £5 for teens before, if they are the kind who enjoy being a bit silly sometimes they may go down well.

woodwaj · 03/11/2019 15:57

@Jammiebammie do the adults like wine? I have a referral code for wineapp which gets you £15 off so you could get an £18 bottle of wine for around £5 delivered

@Whoopstheregomyinsides I think you've confused me with another poster, I have no idea about Chromebooks!!

HelloSweetlings · 03/11/2019 16:04

@Jammiebammie toys for a pound have some nice stuff for older teens. Funko pop, marvel, Stranger Things, HP etc.

For the couples how about a recipe or wine book, there's some good deals on book people (25% off 30) so books for couples and the younger ones might work out within your budget

To the pp asking for Adidas codes, I seem to remember a decent Black Friday last year if you're able to wait?

wibdib · 03/11/2019 16:08

Just spotted that Tokyo Laundry are having a flash sale of 30% off everything (but not on top of stuff in the multi deals) with the code FLASH30 - ends midnight.

Went into Tesco today - not my usual branch but one en route home from somewhere else. Wanted to pick up some G&B selection packs but they were labelled at £11 instead of £5.50. I asked a member of staff as that seemed like a super short offer and they were adamant it was the correct price - even did a price check and it came through at £11. Was properly gutted to have missed it but just came home and checked online and it says the £5.50 offer price runs until 19/Nov. Now I’m actually going to have to leave my house again to my local store to pick them up at the right price.Angry

On the upside, I will also be picking up this aero sharing bar selection pack which is half price at £2.50 and a total bargain but which was out of stock in the store I was in today.

Fraggle45 · 03/11/2019 16:32

Some of the Tesco offers are deliveries only

If it says deliveries by a date then that's delivery only

If it says offer ends then a date it's in store and delivery

Fraggle45 · 03/11/2019 16:35

My mum ended up complaining to the manager as she's gone in for items based on the prices on the app but he said the app is based on delivery prices not online

I'd never heard of it before in supermarkets but very common in high street stores

She's now taken over my food delivery slot for tomorrow and filled it with chocolate and jelly babies!

Carrie76 · 03/11/2019 16:36

@Ewock we got this one last year Nikko car it’s still going strong.

MrsLeclerc · 03/11/2019 16:39

Might have been mentioned already but someone was looking for tree ornaments of everyday /kitsch objects. Asda had a load of unusual ones like a handheld camera, games controller, suitcase and even a ballerina hippo! I think they were £2-3 each.

Also any Toblerone bargain hunters, Asda had the white, dark and milk chocolate ones for £3 which is the cheapest I’ve seen so far after searching for the white ones.

UrbanMage · 03/11/2019 16:40

@BernardBlacksWineIceLolly
Do you happen to have a recipe link for the chocolate and cherry bark? Sounds perfect to go with my homemade gin and jam gifts.

Fraggle45 · 03/11/2019 16:41

Tesco also have all their Xmas bath sets half price online, there's some great kids ones

thaegumathteth · 03/11/2019 16:42

Hope this is ok to post as I'm crediting them but play pennies has a lot of Disney codes inc for personalised decorations

Thread 11 - it seemed like a good deal but ......... can anyone tell me what it does and why I need it?
IdleBet · 03/11/2019 16:42

imsorryiasked thanks I'll pick that up.

moobar great idea I'll look at the dates.

For Disney Store CHRISTMAS didn't work for me but TINKERBELL did for 15% off (not on everything) and stacks with FREEDEL.

tinysnickersaremyfavourite · 03/11/2019 16:43

Hi all, I have missed an entire thread and I'm so behind. Just dropping in to say there's a 60 % sale on scandi and organic kids clothes here until tomorrow, decent prices but sizes left a bit limited.

Carrie76 · 03/11/2019 16:49

My 7yo ds is really into card tricks, can anyone recommend a book/kit on them?

tinysnickersaremyfavourite · 03/11/2019 16:53

For my tuppence worth, re the body spray thing, I got at least one but usually more, body spray set (I am female) from relatives when I was a teenager. I was always polite and thanked the giver but honestly never actually liked them. Proof of this was moving house 15 years later and finding a load of unused body spray cans.

AstrosFan · 03/11/2019 17:07

I didn’t know that about Tesco - we just moved house and it‘s now my closest grocery store - I’ve shopped in Sainsburys for years.

If I can get my lazy ass out of bed I’ll go across and see what they have in store. I’m actually more bothered about the aero selection pack now though because it is the absolute favourite of our friends in the US and I’m preparing their Christmas parcel as we speak so it would be the perfect addition

Shutupanddance1 · 03/11/2019 17:08

@ Fraggle45 exactly the same happened to me in an Irish store - toy was half price online but full price in store. I literally paid for it with my card standing instore for click and collect delivery - they then put in the wrong Plu and I got the item for insanely cheap Grin

Serg · 03/11/2019 17:11

Thank you to tree poster who shared the Great British doors magazine / marmalade gin offer.
My gin arrived Friday night and is beautiful, well worth the £10.
