@BeaLola I'm currently using my contigo on the school run. I love it. Auto seal is brilliant because it opens when your squeeze it to drink and then it's sealed when you stop. Bad explanation but it is worth it's weight in gold.

From a post on a previous thread, I ordered the Mystery Hamper from the Highland Gift Company. Which was £19.99 shipped and they say will contain at least £35 worth of goods. They have now sent me a code (HAMPER40) to get another hamper with 40% off so I got a second one at £12. Not sure if the code will only work if you've already bought one or not, but hope this helps someone.

10% off at allbeauty.com code is on the website.

Has anyone used Case station UK before? I'm planning on getting DM a strap for her Apple Watch and they seem to have some nice ones, just wondering about the quality. Or does anyone have any other recommendations?

@MrsCrimbo74, to be very honest some of the heels are strategic buys for dd's dressing up box as she and her friends go straight to the precious things in my shoe cabinet without fail every time someone comes to play!

(Obvs lots are for me too!)

Thanks for your reply, I may break them up into batches to see if that takes a few quid off...

Thank you so much stormsurfer, I can confirm it does work so £35 worth of goods for £12 delivered- a bargain!

Buy 2 get a 3rd free on kids at m&co.
Works on clothes (including Christmas) but they also have accessories that make good stocking fillers/gifts.

Thanks stormsurfer! Just ordered the bargainous highland hamper for £12. For my husband but, like the craft gin before, really for me to share! 😀

Thank you @stormsurfer it also worked for me. It does seem a good bargain - am hoping I can add a few things and it will be prefect for taking to the friends I’m seeing in Boxing Day.

Thanks @stormsurfer I’ve just ordered two hampers. I usually get a hamper for next door so this should be great. It’s local produce for us as we are in the Scottish Highlands. Not quite so exciting but nice nonetheless.

Thank you @stormsurfer just ordered a gluten free one for my coeliac dad. Much appreciated. Also thank you to the kind person for the info on Elemis £10 set. Lovely stocking filler just arrived.

Regarding the myster hamper - I've bought it but what have I bought? what is inside it exactly?

@mummymilkfloat have you managed to get matching ones yet? etsy have some matching tshirts here which you could pair with some trousers of the same colour?

My local Home Bargains had Frozen 2 pyjamas for £5.99 if anyone has little fans to buy for and light-up bulb necklaces for only £1.99.

@stormsurfer thanks for the hamper idea, that code works and the hamper seems perfect for my PIL.

@Shitfuckoh The contents of each hamper will vary but will include a minimum of 8 of our products. Contents include Shortbread, jams, fudge, tablet, teas, chocolates, coffees and more.....

@stormsurfer thanks so much I just ordered one too. Will be perfect for hard to buy for grandparents.

@Rosiebdy thanks! I did see that bit but was hoping someone may have bought 1 from them previously but if the contents vary then that wouldn't matter anyway. It's a great price and can tick off 1 gift on my list

Thank you @stormsurfer I have joined the hamper bandwagon. Will be great as an extra gift for PIL.
They must have just got an influx of £12 orders

Sorry can’t remember who it was that said the Melissa and Doug ice cream set was £30 on amazon, but thank you

Thank you for the hamper code - I've bought one for my mum who loves visiting Scotland and all things Scottish

I have also ordered a £12 hamper, thank you.

The Jo Malone game is back but up to a £100 spend and full size free gifts are all worth under £50. Still the best deal if you intended buy gifts from there anyway. Just got 2x 30ml wood sage and sea salt cologne plus a small body creme and festive candle for £118 instead of £166.
