Decathlon have free delivery just for day so ideal if you just want the odd thing from their sale.

I bought DS some breathable gym shorts for £1.99 to go in his stocking

Other things that might be on interest for stocking fillers include patterned swimming caps for 99p, flip flops £1.99, t-shirts and shorts from £2.99

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 02/12/2019 16:09

Oh, and also from Decathlon these packaway backpacks

I'll put one in student DD's stocking. She can use it to spread the load when she does her food shopping and has to trudge back to halls laden with bags!

Reluctantbettlynch · 02/12/2019 16:17

Warning if anyone is going for the hype lucky dip, the men's bag for adult DS1 was quite disappointing for the money. I am more than relieved that I didn't get one for DH.
It includes a metallic back pack more suited to a teenage girl, a planets back pack - again a bit young in style.
Tracksuit jumper in baby pink
Toy story t-shirt - not sure 9 yr old would wear it.
Disney baseball cap complete with duck emblem (now for DS2!)
The rest isn't bad, day glo bum bag, wallet, lightweight training jacket. A hype logo t-shirt and boxer shorts.
On balance I won't buy an adult bag again.

Elphaba17 · 02/12/2019 16:41

Smileatthesmallthings - go with the playmobil bus. I bought it at a similar age for DD and just removed the smaller pieces. It's been one of our most played with toys and now DS has it out most days.

Bomb cosmetics have some half price bath bombs, soaps and candles on their website, cheaper than lush but still good quality.

Mumto3thatsme · 02/12/2019 16:54

Popped in to Sainsbury’s today, they still have 25% off their clothing as well as some of their Christmas decorations, cards and gift wrap.
Picked up a pass the parcel Brussels sprout game which I thought would be great after a North Pole breakfast n the weekend, was £5, currently £3.75.
Managed to bag a vetch toot toot friends advent calendar for £15 instead of £25 for next year too.

Has anyone had their hamper delivered from The Highland Gift Company yet? I’ve had email saying about a 50% stock clearance, starting to get twitchy now about about them even getting here. I’m due to pay through Klarna this week and unsure whether to cancel before that payment is due 😬

PurpleSock · 02/12/2019 16:59

Thanks Eastmid! The fitbit ionic is a bit out of my process range but the GPS info was hugely helpful to narrow it down, I've gone with a Garmin Vivosport so fingers crossed that'll do!

Lovemusic33 · 02/12/2019 17:42

Elphaba17 the night bus is in ebay for £25 (just saw it posted on another group).

Lovemusic33 · 02/12/2019 17:43

Sorry, meant Graffitiqueen

FatimaLovesBread · 02/12/2019 17:45

Not a present but has anyone seen any descent priced King Sized christmas bedding? Not brushed cotton.

I got the ones for my kids beds in previous next sales so they're good quality but not expensive. But now I want some for my bed but loathe to spend lots

Haggisfish · 02/12/2019 17:52

Tk maxx does good bed linen.

Rubyroo73 · 02/12/2019 17:57

Does anyone have a voucher code for free delivery at Victoria’s Secret? Need to buy one item for dn at £27 but delivery is £8!
Thanks x

Unihorn · 02/12/2019 17:58

Lidl has a Fitbit Inspire for £50 at the moment but I've no idea if that's any good!

NoWordForFluffy · 02/12/2019 18:04

@FatimaLovesBread, Matalan has some lovely stuff. Ours went on yesterday (I'd forgotten we had it!) and it's really nice!

Sunflower101 · 02/12/2019 18:10

The Hearst magazine offer posted earlier today which was an £10 m and s voucher with each magazine subscription looks like as if you only get the£10 voucher when you resubscribe after 6 months....have I read that correctly? It might not be such a good deal if so.

Ewock · 02/12/2019 18:11

Thanks ninjaturtlesmum I'll have a look.

FatimaLovesBread · 02/12/2019 18:13

Oooh thanks @NoWordForFluffy its not somewhere I normally shop so I never think of there, I'll have a look.
I did the same with my daughters, we bought her a double bed last year so got her a christmas duvet in the next boxing day sale, it's been in the cupboard since

FatimaLovesBread · 02/12/2019 18:14

I missed @Haggisfish too, thanks I'll have a look there too, any excuse for a TKmaxx shop Smile

MyUsernameHistory · 02/12/2019 18:14

Reluctantbettlynch I got a plain dark green backpack in my hype lucky dip which is a bit boring for DS who loves outer space... would you be open to a swap?

MyUsernameHistory · 02/12/2019 18:16

3 for £18 gifts on IWOOT

TheLastQueenOfPop · 02/12/2019 18:21

17% cashback on quidco at The Works today and 25%off with code CYBER (not off everything though)

Howmanysleepsnow · 02/12/2019 18:25

Celtic & co have just sent me a voucher for £20 off a £20 or more spend. The code is FESTIVE19

luckygreeneyes · 02/12/2019 18:42

Oooh I’ve just got some sheepskin insoles for the kids for £2 each plus p&p thank you!

Grafittiqueen · 02/12/2019 18:52

@Lovemusic33 thank you!! I managed to get one.

Bsgetty · 02/12/2019 18:55

Just got insoles for the kids too with that Celtic & co code. Thanks for the tip @Howmanysleepsnow!
