Did anybody else get one of the mystery boxes (I think that’s what they were called) from Little Footprint that we’re mentioned on a previous thread? They gave 10 days for shipping and it’s been over that now yet I’ve heard diddly squat

Aw sorry about the free makeup bag. It didn’t say only some people would get it. Hopefully some of us will be lucky eh.

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile I have pm’d you.

isspacethefinalfrontier Because having nice pens can help. Also, I have since found some that say 'DON'T WALK OFF WITH MY PEN' on them. I thought they might find them amusing.

They're going in a hamper for the staffroom with flavoured coffee, snacks, and some of these teacher reward stickers.

So yes, an odd gift… but I'm That Odd Parent occasionally

You're very welcome @Maranello.
Festive Gift Fair wasn't really what I expected but spent on a few bottles of flavoured gin, some cheese and a couple of personalised tree decs for DGC. Probably won't bother another year but it was a nice girly day with the DD's nonetheless.
Now back to bargain hunting - I'm almost there I think but DH convinced I'll still be here on Christmas Eve. [He knows me too well!]

@Thegirlhasnoname it’s 10 working days, so 2 weeks. I saw a post on the Little footprint Facebook page just today to say that most had been posted on Friday with the rest going today/Monday post. Hth

@Spam88 I saw this in Wilko today which I thought looked cute and would hopefully make a nice gift -

@hypodermicnurdle
Those stickers would go down a treat in my school! 😂

Thanks for the new thread Reastie

I think I mentioned it a couple of threads ago but for those looking for books, world of books has loads. Second hand but good quality and free delivery in the UK. I got six books for about £12 last night. And it's environmentally friendlier etc. There's loads of copies of Twas the night before Christmas etc. (They also sell via Amazon)

@Sneezein3s I think they were i12 TWS but I can’t find them on Amazon anymore!

LavateLasManos I got them for teacher friends last year and they dutifully wore the more tame ones on the last day!

I thought the staff of my primary age DC woukd have a good giggle over them

@youscumbagyoumaggot
Aww thanks, that looks lovely, for me. Only me mind.

@ClaraLane thanks lovely - I think they may still be available on eBay. DD1 just asked for turquoise AirPods and I remembered they’d been mentioned on here xx

I know nothing about makeup, but got emailed this deal for 40% off a smashbox pallette if it's useful to anyone. £23.70 instead of £39.50

Oh yikes I cannot keep up I've missed half a thread since yesterday!

This just popped up on my fb so thought I'd share here. If anyone is buying for someone into interiors and style cheap offer for the Elle Style magazine at £10 for 6 months, plus a free Moleskine notebook.
Sorry about long Messy linky, I haven't mastered the clicky ones.

Thank @rj and @wib for suggestions about the phone / Switch dilemma. Yes trying to avoid a phone for another while and like you say Rj not wanting to spend that amount of money just because it’s a device....

Does anyone have/know of a code for white company? I have a £200 basket that I can't justify!

My local waitrose had piles of Edgars. Although I don't think the plush is anything like as nice as the on screen one.

Finally, I need a Jellycat bashful bunny as big as possible but also not expensive. My girl requires one the size of herself apparently, which is about £60 so if anyone knows a cunning way of getting a cheap one please let me know!

Great world of books recommendation. It reminds me I shouldn’t automatically turn to Waterstones for books. Thanks!

Does anyone have any more m and s codes? I keep being too slow!

Thorntons have got 3 for 2 on personalised advent calendars and 3 for 2 on lots of boxes of chocolates. You can get a free advent calendar when you spend £30 with code SNOWFLAKE and can get 10% off with code VCUK. TopCashback giving 6.3% cashback.

I've just got 5 personalised advent calendars plus 3 boxes of chocolates for £36 delivered, plus £2.27 cashback.

For anyone that uses the park savings, you can use the love2shop cards if you convert it to online select card.

@tinysnickersaremyfavourite I’d wait for Black Friday if you can as last year the white company had site wide codes of a minimum 10-20% off everything.

@Spam88 primark have this it’s £5.

Poundland have got giant sweets for £1 each - mine had a giant cola bottle, giant jelly baby and a gummy gingerbread man. By giant I mean about 20-25cm. They come in a box.

I found them oddly disturbing, especially the jelly baby

Wow I paused in my shopping for a short while and missed a whole thread! I would be very grateful for a Lakeland code. if anyone still has one. I want to replace my roasting tin, which doesn't fit the oven in my new house. Unfortunately the cheap brands all come in a size which is a bit too small, but pricey Lakeland comes in the perfect size! If o u I could make it a little cheaper...TIA

It's worth checking your M&S Sparks if you haven't been in for a while as I had 2 days left on a 20% off when I checked today.

20% site wide at Dadmin today and 3 for 2 on Turtle Doves

@tinysnickersaremyfavourite temptation gifts have the huge ones for £45.95 (I'd love a really really big one but they're £145!!!)
