[Notlongnow1]

Crisis averted?!

@violetmartini The same happened to me. Ordered a indoor bike trainer thingy for DS birthday. He was home from uni when Hermes delivered it in huge box beautifully decorated with pictures etc .. absolutely no mistaking

what it was ! He said that he didn't look and even if he did he'd forget what he'd seen .. could be worrying when it comes to his exams !😂

My turtles slippers came today that I posted about yesterday total bargain they are old George by Asda stock def worth the £2 a pair

Harry Potter chamber of secrets illustrated edition is down from £30 to £8 on amazon

Regarding amazon coming with no outer packaging, I think there’s a box to tick to say that you would like packaging. I recall seeing it a while ago.

I used these threads last year and absolutely nailed Christmas! Thanks everyone. I'm stuck with ideas for SiL and BiL. They're 33, no kids, v cool and tend to have lovely things, carefully selected (no tat!). Last year I got Mahabis from TK and a Milton Brown set for him and they went down very well. Anyone seen anything that leaps to mind? Looking to spend £35ish each.

Thanks for all the great tips. I’m looking for a wireless speaker for dh. Preferably under £50 with decent sound quality and not an echo or google (dh doesn’t like them!)
Does anyone have any recommendations?

Clinique do a nice set www.clinique.co.uk/special-offers

Harry Potter origami is now £5 on Amazon not sure of previous prices when mention here but it says its gone down 24% since I added it to my list

Longtime lurked, just got a CCC alert, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets hardback illustrated is £8 on Amazon. Lowest price ever

Not sure if the Radio Times offer has been mentioned yet this year?
But I've just ordered 6 issues for £1 and it includes the Christmas issue so it's a bargain! You just cancel the subscription once you receive you first magazine!
I used buysubscriptions.co.uk - sorry haven't mastered links 😬

regarding moon sand and other messy activities - cat litter trays are the best to keep it contained. we use them in the nursery I work at. you can get extra large ones too (I had one for my fat cat as he kept missing in the small tray!!) 😁

Poundland today had loads of frozen 2 merchandise. we saw the film today which was brilliant, bought the busy book and dd has been occupied for hours recreating the story 😁 now I would like the salamander as a small teddy for me dd!

oliveandpeacans would really recommend a wonderboom speaker. You can even float it in the bath! Lots of offer at the moment.

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts this one looks cute

I have bought nearly everyhing (thanks to all these threads I got lots of amazing ideas so it’s going to be a lavish Xmas!) but might need one more pressie. I need a black oversized T-shirt with lots of different logos (like the one Erica from The Goldbergs was wearing in one of last week’s episodes). I don’t have much hope and have no idea where to look. I don’t mind the price, in fact I’d rather it was unusual/ quirky/great quality. But you guys are magicians so perhaps someone can point me in the right direction...

Thanks for the heads up on the Harry potter book. I only ordered the first one from the previous deal(and paid postage!!!) and regretted it so I'm delighted to have now got the first two for £21 in total, makes me feel less of a bargain hunter failure

I bought DH a wonderboom speaker, recommendation seconded oliveandpeacans

@UrbanMage have you tried washing the condenser in your tumble dryer? That was the issue with ours

M&S codes gone now.

Lol chalet is selling for €159 on Amazon.de instead of £250. link

Totally random but can anyone recommend a whack a mole style game for a four year old.

Loves whack a rat at the church fayre.

When I was a kid I always pined after a whack attack but I never got one. I think it would be fun to have one but it looks like it's all electronic playmats now, are they anywhere good?

Imsorryiasked thank you he is cute and could attach to the tree too! And I have a voucher for build a bear, will look in my local when I go in next week 😁

£175 on Amazon uk for the Lol chalet here if the shipping works out cheaper for you

I hope amazon don't deliver without packaging - have a Hogwarts express coming (£47.99 - did not mean to buy this!!)

Has anyone still got Smafolk stuff to swap? I'm still pending for the FB page and wondered if it's worth having a thread? Not that I have a clue how to do one....

There’s currently an Amazon Lightning Deal for a mural of a map of the world - £6.49 if you click the 10% off voucher
