I'd totally recommend //www.sheepskin.co.uk for moccasins (and anything else you could possibly desire in sheepskin!) I have some of their sheepskin cushion covers on the sofa and they are so lovely and luxurious and ridiculously cheap at £17.99 each www.sheepskin.co.uk/product/ivory-sheepskin-cushion-cover/

I came home today to:
Yellow fingerless gloves (£1.48), four Xmas teaspoons (£1.16 I think) and my free baileys miniature and chocolate reindeer.

Love it.

Is 44 too old for a thread baby next Christmas?

[buckeejit]

Does anyone know if the velvetiser has ever been on offer? Not sure if it's worth waiting to order it....

[BadgerFace]

@princessbear80 Making home made versions of hot chocolate bombs...

[PaddingtonBearHardStare]

Studio currently has £20 off when you spend £50 using code 009. I may have just spent a fortune on personalised stuff. Now DS2 is here all the stuff with DS1s name on like Santa plate, stop here sign etc needs replacing

[totallyLosingIt]

@IDontDrinkTea - I will take a look! Thanks.

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny - that was the one, thank you for reminding me. I can steal some ideas from it even if it's not available to buy!

@hypodermicnurdle - perfect, thank you. My next question was going to be about recommendations for places to buy soap so fantastic timing

[andi76]

@Notlongnow1 - there's £4 for 4 issues of Jaqueline Wilson mag (saw it several threads ago - thanks to whoever posted it there) here

[ClosedAuraOpenMind]

code 1111 gets 11% off at Love Cocoa, valid till midnight on Nov 13

[Bryna]

@totallyLosingIt I can recommend friendly soap, all natural and not overpowering, this is my favourite but I also love the Lemongrass one too. For 20% off use code nov20

[Bryna]

I also like this natural deodorant , if you're looking for any!

[Clementine8]

@RJnomore1 where did you get the xmas spoons? I nearly ordered one today but it was £3!

[PaddingtonBearHardStare]

@RJnomore1 I am 42 and had a thread baby in August don't tell DH but I want another

[PaddingtonBearHardStare]

@Bryna which deodorant balm do you recommend? Is the smell really strong?

[Bryna]

@PaddingtonBearHardStare I use both the vanilla and manuka (which is a 'warm' scent) and the lemon and geranium ( which is a fresh scent), both from their 'clean' range, I cannot say about the others but they aren't strongly scented at all, i struggle with highly perfumed toiletries, but love nice smells!

[Bryna]

I've just looked at my past orders and they did have a promo last year around Black Friday, so it may be worth waiting for a week or two, if you decide to order ( natural deodorant )

[boobybum]

andi76 or anyone else knowledgeable - with the magazine subscriptions when do you cancel? Do you have to wait until you have received the last issue in the trial period?

[ConstantlyCooking]

Buckeejit A friend had temp job in hotel chocolat and the staff don't get a discount on velvetisers even though they get 50% off every thing else. However, the general codes you are sent with the loyalty card work and they often have really good bundle deals.

[noodledoodler]

Got a few wee freebies at my local shop, lunch cool bags. Thought I could make up a gift for teachers with the lunchbag, trolley token (also got bargainous ones in b and m), re usable shopping bag, meal planner pad and shopping list pad. On the look out for best bargain for re-usable coffee cups, I have the lovely coffee bags to add. Any other ideas please? Cost so far is just over £4, £6/7 would be perfect,

[RJnomore1]

@Clementine8 it’s these

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07K2ZHR3Q?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

They’re 73p plus £1.30 delivery just now. Not the best quality but cute and fine to use once a year.
