25% off everything at tarte make up. This stacks on top of their normal sale. Just got the winter wonderglam palette for £33 which is a bargain.

BonnesVacances · 27/11/2019 09:20

@tooner They look fab! I'm going to buy a Fornite one but don't know the game well enough to know which character to go for. Confused It's a shame the Mario one is sold out.

IHeartKingThistle · 27/11/2019 09:23

@edgewater I'm sure the works have a little drawing set in a wooden box but don't know what the quality of the pencils is like

Scbchl · 27/11/2019 09:26

Thanks for the nike code just got trainers that were 95 when I looked last week for 40 something.

Moana123 · 27/11/2019 09:28

Sale on the Fitbit website - the kids ace 2 is down to £49.99...

IJustWantToWearDungarees · 27/11/2019 09:40

Black26 gives 26% off at Buy a Gift.

Shitfuckoh · 27/11/2019 09:41

Gillette have a fantastic gift set on offer
www.gillette.co.uk/all-purpose-styler-and-fusion50-sensitive-shaving-gel-gift-set/12006472.html
If you use code STYLER it brings it down to £14.06 delivered.
BUT I have put a referral link on the referral thread that get you 20% off and you can combine the code with it. It's a great bargain!

DragonMamma · 27/11/2019 10:07

@Shitfuckoh

Thanks for that - I used your referral link and had it for £12.59 with the GIFT25 code too 👍🏻

BuffyFairy · 27/11/2019 10:16

I’ve been mainly lurking this as I’m struggling to keep up with the threads. With Christmas and a Jan birthday these are so helpful, thanks to everyone posting.

Amazon have the LOL wow surprise (the one with 14 dolls) on lightening deals round noon. Sorry I can’t remember the exact time. It will be 40% off.

Quite a few threads back someone was recommending candles in TK Maxx. Can anyone remember the brand please?

EvilHerbivore · 27/11/2019 10:20

Amazon has the Nintendo Switch Starlink game on 'used - very good' condition for only £6.70
Great price if you don't mind not new

margaritasbythesea · 27/11/2019 10:22

Christmas Tree Klaxon! I have just bout a 6 foot Nordman fir from Home Bargains for £9.99. They also have a nice cast iron stand for £8.99. Fab. I was so worried about affording the tree!

DillieDoily · 27/11/2019 10:23

Does anyone have this personalised search and find Lego Ninjago book from Pen Wizard? I think my DS would love it but not sure if it is too simple/Young for an 8 year old? Even with the 20% off it is still rather pricey!

BubbleTravel · 27/11/2019 10:24

Thank you so much for all your help; I have glossy half price Hunters, a Harry Potter doll, wanky oud perfume and a mermaid tail blanket on the way. You guys are good!!

Mynameisnotthis · 27/11/2019 10:31

I remember someone was looking for or talking about a playmobil castle with knights etc?

Amazon have the Playmobil 6001 Hawk Knights' Castle with Dungeon and Many Hidden Traps half price

Mynameisnotthis · 27/11/2019 10:34

Sorry not half price but £59.49 instead of £109.99.

Also someone looking for something similar to whack a mole...we got Donk a Dino from Tesco for £6.50. Might be too modern a version and haven’t tried it yet so can’t vouch for it but might be worth a look!

Vebrithien · 27/11/2019 10:38

The Portmerion group have a Black Friday offer of 20% off of their mugs. Valid for 2 days.

tinysnickersaremyfavourite · 27/11/2019 10:40

Ooh I was looking at whack a mole too, will check out dino whacking too.

I can't keep up, am on day 4 of poorly DC and 2 days I'd plannes to go RL shopping totally scuppered. DH birthday is next week and I've got literally nothing because I'm stuck home with sick children. I'm also tired due to being up half the night with DCs and hangry due to emergency pre xmas diet. Bah humbug.

DS presents are mostly sorted just need stocking fillers.
DD still need to get a lot but holding out in hope of black friday deals at decathlon for a scooter. And a whackymole.

Mynameisnotthis · 27/11/2019 10:59

I want to go and play the Dino donking now so I can give a review. But I will not. Grin I think it might be light up/flashy dinos rather than poppy-up ones

nicky2512 · 27/11/2019 11:02

I was just wondering about hotel chocolat. I need a few bits from there and haven’t been too well and can’t face real life shopping. I saw a few reviews though saying some items had arrived broken. Has anyone here ordered and had any problems?

DillieDoily · 27/11/2019 11:13

Bugs In The Kitchen Hexbug game is down to £13.99 on amazon - that's another one ticked off the list!

Scbchl · 27/11/2019 11:16

Thanks so much @shitfuckoh I got two sets for 22 something. So thats my dad and fil finished.

Barbararara · 27/11/2019 11:17

@DillieDoily that book is gorgeous. You’ve set me twitching again.

@tinysnickersaremyfavourite hope your dcs are better soon.

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 27/11/2019 11:21

Lego Newts Case of Magical Creatures is £30. RRP is £44.99 and average price on CCC is £37, so not a bad deal

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 27/11/2019 11:22

If anyone has a dinosaur loving child then this book is amazing. I bought it a while ago for ds3 aged 6 for Christmas at £20 it's now down to £17 at Amazon.

Dinosaur book

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 27/11/2019 11:23
