I'm not worried about the hampers. If they get card details we will get our money back. I've had worse happen this year. Their Facebook appears fairly active and no bad comments on there.

I would have thought the delayed shipping date was because it was a Christmas hamper. It wouldn't concern me tbh.

Thanks for the hamper code. I am also not worried, ordered 3 of them.

Anyone know when M and S will reduce their eggnog cream liquor this year? I bought some last year after seeing it on here and it was gorgeous!

I ordered the hampers earlier, one diabetic and one standard, if they come - they come! There’s nothing on my card worth stealing and it means that dgrandparents x2 have m and s shortbread again

@PoopaPoopa why do you want to get your festive grind out?

@MummaPI, I posted earlier to say it's now £8. Not as good as last year's discount, but better than a tenner!

@CupoTeap they are the Cox & Cox ones, not really worth £70 plus £6 delivery for 4 but I paid £40.90 delivered doing two separate orders with £20 off each from the referrals thread

The “Lego” castle isn’t real Lego .

Thank you for the Belle castle find MrsLeclerc

Thanks fluffy
Think it went down to £6 last year but dont want to miss out!

I’ve become a hamper sheep too - paid on CC so will see, might cheer up DH who has just been diagnosed with Coeliac disease

Not a great bargain but Very have Harry Potter Funko POP Advent Calendars for £34.99 here cheapest I’ve seen is £44.99. Hope this helps someone

If there is an issue with the hampers, I can only imagine it would now be because we have all ordered so many 😂 They may not be able to fulfil them all.
Was also a sheep and ordered one

@Barbarara, thanks for the Irish offers, always appreciated!

For the Jo Malone lovers, I read on the Perfumista threads that Perfume Parlour does longer-lasting versions of the same scents, as well as wax melts. It is copies but they get the approval of the perfume lovers so may be worth a shot - I'm not a Jo Malone fan too tight but the perfumes I've ordered from there have been very good so far.

I'll add my annual tip for Korean sheet masks - it's a reputable site with free freight and they usually have a trial kit on offer. Shipping takes a while so you'd probably want to order soon. I even converted my MIL to sheet masks this year...

@mummymilkfloat I buy my children duns Sweden clothes and def a xmas print available in all those sizes I buy from www.www.tiarosetreasures.co.uk or www.littlefootprint.co.uk

I ordered the hamper on my debit card as I input my CC details wrongly. I'm not worried at all, I'm keeping a weather eye on the bank anyway to monitor spending. I wont be cancelling. Its no ones fault and I think it will be fine.

Thank you to Reastie & all for the Contigo mug info - much appreciated.

For those of you buying for sports mad kids have just ordered some mitre sports tops on M&M Direct for £2.99-£3.49 from the men's section. I only buy stocking gift for friends son so my limit is £10 but he is a S or M in men's range. Hope they are ok - not sure what p&p will be like as we have annual p&p from there as buy all sons trainers and footballlboots on there

I finally found a solution for the abc issues as I wanted to pay by instalments AND get my £5 off (money’s better in my bank than theirs)

I ordered the rose set at £50 and a double set of rose hair and body stays at £22,50. The £5 came off the sprays; I will now give MIL the rose shower gel, body lotion, hand cream and one body spray, and keep a body spray and the skin care myself.

Happy me.

Ooh heck. I'm a hamper sheep too.

👋🏻 Waves to fellow Irish mnetters.

I have just moved back to the North from over the water in England and was perusing the food aisles in Dunnes the other week on the look out for some bargains. I was horrified to see chocolate covered Kimberleys and Mikados!!! They were on offer and quite bargainous but I couldn’t bring myself to buy them. Who thought they would be a good idea?!

And on a similar note; (I’m on a roll now) I spotted Mint & Orange After Eights in Asda today!

Why?! Just Why?!

Hi remember a pp poster saying about the personalised backpacks from a few threads back. Has anyone received them or heard back? I sent an email yesterday but thinking I need to contact my cc company to get it refunded.

Hi AstroFan I absolutely love chocolate Kimberleys, christmas wouldn't feel like christmas if I didn't have them

I don't think there will be a problem with the hampers generally, I just think my order has failed or gone wrong somehow as I didn't get a confirmation email/text.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing some sort of "Thank you for your order" message on the website though. Very strange
