Couldn’t resist the title given the chatter about the hampers. Cross fingers they arrive and are fantastic or that refunds are fast and painless.

Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through Thanks

Thanks for the new thread @Reastie and excellent title. I resisted the hamper, didn’t know who to gift it too and I’ve already brought too much for myself.

My bracelets from Buckley jewellery arrived and they are fab, 2 presents sorted and one for me for £9.99 inc delivery.

L’occitane have free delivery.

Xmas25 gets you 25% off full price items at New Look.

Happy shopping everyone.

Thank you for the thread Reastie!

Does anyone know of a cheaper version of tile mix photo stickers? I like the idea of just sticking them up but they are pricey. Thank you!

PinkJam · 07/11/2019 09:19

My 1st Years have 15% off everything with code: XMAS15

PoopaPoopa · 07/11/2019 09:21

@PinkDaydreams I got these last year from the works. They’re currently out of stock but might be worth checking back. They’re £10 reduced from £25. For that price they’re obviously not the best you can get and it would depend what you wanted them for but for looking at birds in the garden etc they’re good.

Can anyone suggest a Lego set for Dd18? She used to love it when she was small and I’d love to get her a good set, not too expensive though just as an extra present

NotYourHolidayDick · 07/11/2019 09:30

Pets alive bopping llama is back in stock for £15 at John Lewis which is the cheapest I've seen it.

Themazeoflife · 07/11/2019 09:30

One Harry Potter sorting hat purchased

AstrosFan · 07/11/2019 09:37

Just checking in even though I’m all but finished my shopping now!

AstrosFan · 07/11/2019 09:38

@MyGhastIsFlabbered sorry to say that all the hot sauce advent calendars had gone. They had other hot sauce things left but no calendars. Hopefully someone else with a B&M near them can help you out.

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 07/11/2019 09:39

Gravitrax starter set down to £27.99 on Amazon. Lowest previously £24.99, so could possibly go down a few quid but otherwise a good price

I only ordered the coffee samples to be a sheep and I thought coffee was coffee but I have to say they are amazing! What are the best deals for them? ( I can’t even remember the name of the company!)

Dogmatix34 · 07/11/2019 09:47

This site has some good photo gift bargains photo gifts

imsorryiasked · 07/11/2019 09:48

@Justyou as its just for an extra you could perhaps get her a nanoblocks set? (Like Lego but tiny) loads of different sets about but this sloth is cute.

Thinking of getting DH some wireless ear bud style headphones for commuting and watching his tablet at home. Any recommendations? About £50?

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 07/11/2019 10:13

Oh what a shame. Thank you for looking though.

whoknows1230 · 07/11/2019 10:25

@Ginxed - for the past three years, I've ordered the premium photo calendars from Truprint. Each year, they have done a voucher where if you buy one calendar you get 50% off, two calendar 60% off and three calendars 70% off. Last year I got six A3 photo calendars and two desk photo calendars for just under £42 (free delivery if you spend £25).

I can't remember when the vouchers become available but I think it's usually around Black Friday. I always plan to have my calendars designed and saved so I can literally add the discount code and click "order" but, looking at my order history for the past three years, I haven't managed to do it earlier than 12th December! Even when I've ordered on 18th December, they've arrived in time.

Bodyshop have £10 off a £30 shop with code 19705

whoknows1230 · 07/11/2019 10:27

I managed to get a LOL calendar this morning.

Thank you to @georgialondon, @LazyDaisey, @totallyLosingIt, @Hophop26, @Youvegotafriendinme and @ninjaturtlesmum (I hope I haven't missed anyone out) for all the suggestions. I tried Home Bargains and B&M on my way to work before popping to Aldi where I sorted through loads and found one for the bargainous price of 89p!

I'll have one happy DD later. Thank you again x

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 07/11/2019 10:28

Thank you for the new thread @Reastie
I love the title.

I have a code for Jojo Maman Bebe SNOW gives 15% off

NoSquirrels · 07/11/2019 10:42

lifelong seconding The Range as good for art supplies. Much cheaper than Hobbycraft and good quality.

PinkDaydreams · 07/11/2019 10:52

@PoopaPoopa thank you for the binocular recommendation Smile They’re for mother, she just wants them to look at the kestrels/falcons (can’t remember!) from her flat so I’m not after anything super fancy or expensive.

lifelongfrugaleer · 07/11/2019 10:57

Of course, the range. I love a range trip. Thanks

user1019273703 · 07/11/2019 10:59

@lifelongfrugaleer I really like what the works do. Its a good price too. Hobbycraft is great also for kids stuff.
