hypodermicnurdle I think your pens sound great and your gift! Being secondary we rarely get gifts so I’m jealous! I’m sure the staff will be extremely grateful for your thoughtfulness

@tinysnickersaremyfavourite
EUAX586 is 10% off The White Company and free postage if that helps.

tinysnickersaremyfavourite · 16/11/2019 23:37

Thanks! That 10%might just swing it.

Carrie76 · 16/11/2019 23:38

Can someone explain carcasonne to me please? It comes up on these threads every year so thought I’d buy it. When I google it loads of different types come up, mostly expansion packs, which one do we want if we’ve never played it before?

Givealittlebit · 16/11/2019 23:41

Thank you for the make up bag link @RJnomore1 have tried my luck so we shall see 🤞

DaisyChops · 17/11/2019 00:09

Lol outfit of the day advent calendar is currently £19.99 for the next 5 hours on an amazon lightning deal

NoWordForFluffy · 17/11/2019 00:16

I have 3 separate 20% off codes on my Sparks account. Baffling!

Becles · 17/11/2019 00:23

@tinysnickersaremyfavourite R7IIU2 should give you 15% off

ClaraLane · 17/11/2019 00:38

@Carrie76 This one! www.board-game.co.uk/product/carcassonne-2015-new-edition/ Apparently they re-released the “base” game in 2015 so it looks like this - about £7 more expensive on Amazon! I can also recommend Linkee and Taboo - 2 of my favourite board games!

BuffyFairy · 17/11/2019 05:40

@thegirlhasnoname my mystery boxes from Little Footprint arrived yesterday. I’ve shopped with them a lot, the lady who runs it gives fantastic customer service so don’t worry. She takes a lot of care creating nice bundles and they’ve been affected by the floods in Doncaster (on the Facebook update). I hope you like yours when it arrives.

BigEaredBob · 17/11/2019 06:21

Can anyone recommend a spider catcher? My mum lives on her own now and hates spiders so I would like to get her a gadget so she can catch spiders without having to go too near if that makes sense! (Preferably humane!)

Thegirlhasnoname · 17/11/2019 07:21

Thank you both.

I thought I’d finished my Christmas shopping but DH has discovered a hole in his boots so he’s getting the ones I had bought him (so he doesn’t do something as inconsiderate as buying a pair himself!) so back at square one with him. I love him but he’s a fussy man to buy for.
Any inspiration welcome Smile

Reastie · 17/11/2019 07:21

Someaddedsugar I think good housekeeping is a lovely idea. Keep a lookout for cheap deals and good free gifts, especially via Hearst

Thank you all for your wonderful tips, these threads have been so useful.

If anyone has an M&S code I would love it please.
Also got a basket full in Boden and would really appreciate a code for that.

I have been missed out of all the sparks discounts due to a glitch apparently. I don’t see what the point of all the points is really!

Anyone that is still to go to Sainsbury’s to use the double up, I was in store and couldn’t get the vouchers to download due to the poor WiFi. The lady at customer services did it on the phone for me, but I now still have the option to double up again via the app (already done £50 to £100 in store). Might be a way of getting round it if you have lots of points to use!).

George22 · 17/11/2019 07:31

NeedMoreTea - can I ask which gift list app did you use? There seems to be loads of them!!

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 17/11/2019 07:42

I didnt order a mystery bundthis time from little footprint but i shop with them alot they are a one man (woman) company who is bloody amazing the mystery bundles are all hand pick based on the long lists of preferences some people add to their orders.

I am always recommending them on here for Lanka kade animals and the owner is happy I share the discount codes when she has them.

Sure you will love your bundles when they arrive such excellent value. Often £100 rrp for £35

Leflic · 17/11/2019 07:43

D7E3 is for the Boden flash sale! 28% off the whole order.

NotYourHolidayDick · 17/11/2019 07:53

Finally I can be helpful.

Topcashback has £10 exclusive at Hearst Magazines

Good Housekeeping is on offer for £10 for 6 months plus a free gift.

So...basically free.

I've subscribed to Prima, Good Housekeeping, Country Living and runners world...for free Grin

@BigEaredBob

This one, my brother bought it for me years ago and it doesn’t kill them, it’s got little brushes that gently grab them to let you throw them outside. A PP also mentioned that VIP22 gets you a discount from them too

Moana123 · 17/11/2019 08:10

If anyone knows of a discount code for VERY I’d be really grateful. Thanks

friskybivalves · 17/11/2019 08:12

Admittedly niche but many kids football kits for Derby County are available with yuge discounts on the mandmdirect site. Also Celtic baby kits.

Gustavo1 · 17/11/2019 08:16

Have ordered some lovely slippers with the Celtic and Co code. Hopefully they will not cancel a larger purchase.

Liz Earle have a great sea at the moment. If you buy the face cleansing set for £49 you get a full rock rose set for free. A great gift, and a great deal if you usually buy Liz earle.

Cornishgirl59 · 17/11/2019 08:21

I have a White Company code - AY285 which gives 15% off full priced items and free UK delivery.

Spam88 · 17/11/2019 08:23

Not sure joules can ever be considered bargainous, but some discount codes valid today only in case they're useful to anyone.

£10 of £70 with CHRISTMAS
£20 of £100 with WREATH
£30 off £130 with FESTIVE
