@BeBesideTheSea probably no use to you but good availability in Southampton area.

Could someone remind me about the hamper deals please? Thanks!

@BeBesideTheSea Great availability in the South West, Bristol, Swindon etc if that helps.

@bebesidethesea available in aylesbury apparently!

JoJo Maman Bebe 12% off code: NATIVITY

Thanks for the suggestion @bakingcupcakes but I can’t find a “willing to travel” button - I even fired up the PC in case it didn’t appear on the mobile browser ☹️

@PinkJam- thank you, good to have a heads up. Very frustrating though as I have two sick children today that can't even be easily distracted. I'm keeping everything crossed I manage to accept delivery without her seeing.

Beware if you got the cheap echo dot with Amazon music - they have taken another month's subscription payment from me even though I am certain that I cancelled it. I can't see any proof of this anywhere though. I've cancelled again and taken a screen shot this time.

Just bought another two hampers!

On Tuesday this week it will be announced which London shows will be in the London Theatre new year sale.

I've registered to find out which ones but does anyone on here have any experience of which shows are likely to be included or are there any restrictions (like only less popular/longer running shows or midweek shows for example).

I need tickets for Waitress so am wondering whether tickets are likely to be in the sale

@BeBesideTheSea I found the 'willing to travel' thing on the mobile site by pressing 'change store' on the click&collect option. It came up as 'willing to travel, tell me where' in a box then at the top of the out of stock list. Mad how it's totally out of stock in some areas but not others. There's nowhere in the north west with any.

still completely stuck for secret santa men's gifts that aren't tacky but under £10. Especially for those who don't drink alcohol or coffee, and are dieting!

Thanks for the JoJo code @PinkJam

Urbanara have 25% off everything with the code BLACK. Good for luxurious blankets in wool, merino, etc. I’m going to buy a couple of alpaca wool scarves from their sale section with the extra discount on top.

Theonlyoneiknow
Highland gift company 50% off everything and free postage

Another plea for unidays topshop code ifanyone has one, also decided I’m not going to use my Boden £15 off £30 (works for sale too and the 30% off as I tested) if anyone would like to trade codes ? Thanks so much!

I’d love the Boden code @ChristmasCookiesmmmm but afraid I don’t have a trade.

Thanks for the hamper info, I've just bought two, resisted 'the twitch' the first time round but its definitely worth a punt at a tenner each and free delivery. Need to stop myself ordering more now.

If no one replies I’ll let you know @Nearlyadoctor! Just really desperate for a topshop code , planning to buy a new smart coat as I managed to get paint on my all purpose coat ! Will do my best at fixing it up but I fear it may turn into mainly dog walking coat ! As an aside if anyone has tips on getting water based paint out of waxed Barbour jacket I’ll be very grateful, absolutely gutted as it’s less than a year old and I literally live in it!!

@Reastie that is an amazing idea about the advent calendar, I also have a dc with a birthday on 25th!!! Luckily I bought one too many advent calendars as usual this year!

Can I ask if anyone has seen the big hatchimal wow that goes tall in real life and is it worth it, it's on amazon deals and DH is saying NO and I'm twitching!!!

@username2020 what about the little Gillette Mach3 gift set for £5.35. Code DELFREE gives free delivery and you could get something small to go with it to make up the price.

I’m thinking “if it’s too good to be true”...anout those hampers. I bought two earlier on in November thinking it was a one off offer. The company seem to have had a deal on all the time since.
How can they make any money on a £10 hamper with free p&p.?

@username2020 how about sugru

Re secret Santa gifts for men, in Lakeland yesterday I bought DH for his cracker a set of hex keys in a wooden Swiss Army knife type thing for £5, reduced from £9 I think. I also got him a little tin with a glasses fixing kit inside, also reduced in Lakeland, but that obviously relies on the recipient wearing glasses.

There seems to be a 2 for £7 deal on amazon children's books but I can't seem to find the full list. Am I missing something obvious?!

Eg Spinderella!
