Sweetpeaormarigold Thank you for the candle tip. Looks good.

*DangerousMouse. They have sent me a VIP code for 20% off selected items with BF20. No idea if they have to have your email first. I thought their chocolate was overly sweet and tastleless though. Montezumas us yum though !

DangerousMouse sorry forgot to bold!

30% off at the Body Shop today (20% off gifts), have stocked up on my moisturiser.

Not a bargain but my Lanka Kade nativity set arrived and it’s so lovely! DD and I had fun setting it up, although she did insist on building a tower of sheep and wise men with Jesus on top xD

One Hundred Stars has a little sale on. I love their short kimonos - I can even wear them in hot countries over little tops as I don’t love my arms. One size fits 10-20 I reckon. Tempted by the strawberry one but it’s not my favourite design. Great for hard to buy for women.

Ummmm, so I have over £1000 of Beauty Pie spend allowance. Any way I can make use of this or pass on? Going to close my account after Xmas and don’t want this to go to waste.

RabbitBeaver · 28/11/2019 18:54

Does anyone have any spare Aldi Russell Sprout and Tiny Tom? They’re top of my sons list and I’ve visited 7 Aldi’s after work and they’re all sold out. I really do t want to have to pay the extortionate Ebay price So was wondering if their Aldi’s had any? Thanks :)

sleepismysuperpower1 · 28/11/2019 18:56

@Ahardyfool they have some gifts on their website like candles, makeup brushes and case and perfumes. do you have any teens to buy for? the makeup brushes would go down well and i think a candle is a pretty easy gift for a lot of women. also, if you have a bensons for beds, B&M, Harveys or Wicks store near you they are running a campaign for cashforkids which sends xmas presents to kids who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford them. in their older teen section they ask for things like perfume or makeup so maybe you could buy one item to donate to that?

doritosdip · 28/11/2019 18:58

A hardy fool- I assume this is site credit. If you're not going to use it, I'd order as much as I could and pass it on to a woman's refuge.

weebarra · 28/11/2019 19:00

NaturalBlond - they are gorgeous. I've just texted my dad as they would be great for mum.

GoodGollyMissMolly7 · 28/11/2019 19:02

Back in the summer I saw a similar thread with an offer for a nice loose tea gift pack. Don’t suppose anybody can remember the name of the company?

MyFriendKimberley · 28/11/2019 19:12

The Entertainer have added more reductions to their website, including the Happyland advent calendar, now £14.99.

Next thread title: The one where we're all whacking moles!

I'm trying desperately to think of someone to buy one for... Think my MIL will love it.

Ahardyfool · 28/11/2019 19:17

Thanks for the suggestions re. My beauty pie spend credit. Donation is a lovely idea which ridiculously I hadn’t thought of.

MooseyMoo · 28/11/2019 19:20

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Illustrated Harry Potter Goblet of Fire is £16 on Amazon

TheGriffle · 28/11/2019 19:22

I’ve just ordered 2 whack a mole games. No idea who for!

Luxplus · 28/11/2019 19:23

@PoopaPoopa my bil is an architect and has a pen that he uses instead of a mouse that allows his to draw on the computer, perhaps she could use that?

CatLadyInTraining · 28/11/2019 19:24

M&S have small boxes of their posh looking truffles reduced to £3. I think they are lovely.
Also, Tesco have the big boxes of Heroes, Roses etc for £3.50. Not sure if they are likely to go any lower?

tinysnickersaremyfavourite · 28/11/2019 19:27

Sorry for lack of response, was dealing with poorly kids.
Moles take 3x AAA batteries, batteries are not included.

Mistressiggi · 28/11/2019 19:31
