@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny thanks for the decathlon tip off - I've ordered 2 of those tiny backpacks-handy for my bag & will gift one also!

@FatimaLovesBread I've bought Xmas bedding from Next, a bargain store, and ASDA - only the BS one hasn't worn well at all, the others have been good and ASDA definitely cheaper!

andi76 · 02/12/2019 19:30

Dunelm had some fab Christmas bedding (& good prices). Mine's brushed cotton, but I'm sure that not all of it is.
The sheet I bought from Next in the sale last Christmas is fab too.

Liz Earle have 15% off everything plus an extra £5 off your basket when you spend £30. Free delivery too.

Looks like it's the Playmobil bus then! Thanks for the recommendations. He's mostly good at not putting stuff in his mouth (or ears, or up his nose) but best to be safe.

My Asda had the Harry Potter and Frozen accessories advent calendars down to £5 if anyone was still looking for one, or i guess you could parcel up the contents nicely and use as a stocking filler.

If anyone has a Boden code I’d really appreciate it?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 02/12/2019 19:59

Anyone seen any Philips Lumea deals anywhere please.

EmGee · 02/12/2019 20:14

Kenny I saw the Lumea on Amazon deals for 291£ or something like that.

SleeptightDaisy · 02/12/2019 20:17

The birch box's what age would you say they are suitable for? Would a mid teen like them? Or what brand would you suggest?

Sneezein3s · 02/12/2019 20:25

Could anyone help? I’m looking for a bargain Fitbit I don’t mind if it’s reconditioned as long as it comes with warranty. Needs to be Fitbit brand to connect with other users, any ideas bargain hunters? Thank you.

In return I have student discounts if I can help anyone xx

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 02/12/2019 20:28

To answer my own question about the Philips Lumea I bought it from Boots (it was the same price as Amazon Cyber Monday) but I earned £41.00 in reward card points! Shock

MzPumpkinPie · 02/12/2019 20:30

Oh well I saw this and found a perfect one for my SEN DC .
£29.99 from amazon.
Thank you for the inspiration.
I was struggling with a family game to play over Christmas with their extra needs but hitting things they can both do 😂

imsorryiasked · 02/12/2019 20:34

@Sneezein3s Amazon have some good offers at the moment

DS has asked for something that might not exist, have googled, but no luck, so wondered if anyone on here has seen them in real shops
He loves the billy and the mini monsters books and has asked for soft toy versions of the monsters.
An acquaintance was going to crochet them, but that fell through too
So am totally stuck now, any suggestions would be very much appreciated

imsorryiasked · 02/12/2019 20:37

Bloody phone ignore me!

margaritasbythesea · 02/12/2019 20:56

MarbleTrack2 - it might be worth contacting the publishers?

ninjaturtlesmum · 02/12/2019 21:09

@MarbleTrack2 the only thing I can suggest is looking on Etsy for a bespoke soft toy maker or crocheter and messaging them directly with what you want and to ask if they would be able to make you one?

passremarkable · 02/12/2019 21:13

@Ohmygodtheykilledkenny

Philips Lumea at Costco £194 with extra £10 off with code Black Friday

HelloSweetlings · 02/12/2019 21:15

@Ewock what are his interests? I've bought for a few hard to buy for men this year Grin

HelloSweetlings · 02/12/2019 21:17

Also meant to mention, Sainsbury's have the last day of 25% off today and I realised you can have delivered to Argos for free if you buy through them which is handy if you don't have a local Sainsbury's and hate paying delivery fee

wineoclockthanks · 02/12/2019 21:21

@Christmascookiesmmmm Thank you for the Hearst tip, just renewed MIL's Good Housekeeping subscription.

To the PP who asked, I was told my £10 evoucher will be with me within 28 days.

MarbleTrack2 · 02/12/2019 21:28

@ninjaturtlesmum @margaritasbythesea
Thanks for your suggestions!
Never thought of contacting the publishers, and will contact some people on Etsy now
Fingers crossed it will work out 😄

ninjaturtlesmum · 02/12/2019 21:34

@MarbleTrack2, no problem. I recently got someone on Etsy to make a bespoke glass gift for my DM and DF which I know they’ll love. Good luck
