Thank you @luckiestgirl for the title which came from her post which I’ve copied below

‘I twitched on the moles.
And the Clinique
And at body shop (30% off)
And at love honey (I got £20 off)
And I’ve somehow bought an 8 foot Christmas tree.
And lights
And a TV.
And a fitness tracker.
And stocking fillers for the kids.

Oh god, stop me now please‘

L’Occitane have an online exclusive offer of two free baubles (each bauble contains 4 shower treats) when you spend £65 with code: FESTIVE

Fuckingfuckssake · 06/12/2019 08:40

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts thanks, I'm worried the 30% off sale will expire before they send me anything, I couldn't find any vouchers on eBay and Costco don't have them anymore, she's asked for outfits for the 2 bears she got for her birthday, please would you pm me the code if it looks like a single use, it might get used before I get to it!! Thank you again.
Also, hampers, they're claiming on the FB page to have dispatched over 50% of them now, has anyone actually had confirmation from DPD that they're on the way?

CottonHeadedNinnyMug · 06/12/2019 08:59

Name change above Xmas Grin
Its not a twitch if you buy for yourself right?
Thanks for the Hotter heads up, just ordered new Chelsea boots and may also have bought some earpods for DH's Christmas Cracker... (Will put the case to the side)

tisonlymeagain · 06/12/2019 09:11

Thanks @friskybivalves for the AirPods feedback, I will go for it!

Has anyone seen any decent mens PJs at a good price? This is all my DP has really asked for this year (as we're having a baby and money is tight) but I'd like to get him something nice.

EvilHerbivore · 06/12/2019 09:13

Anyone seen any good deals on a load of biscuits/chocolate/ tea and coffee etc? Finally getting out of hospital today (I think!) and would like to get nurses a present

Sports direct currently have free delivery over £75 - just for this weekend - it’s usually about a fiver.

Also did you know that marks and Spencer’s now offer PayPal as a payment method? Just had the bizarre situation of trying to use it on my account - haven’t used it for about a year but had forever. It says they take PayPal but it wasn’t offered as an option (muggins has lost card - awful timing for this week!) despite the site saying it did. Asked on web chat and got a snotty ‘we are rolling it out to everyone before christmas’ so not helpful. Borrowed dh’s card, logged him as a guest and lo and behold there was the PayPal option. Now feeling rather snubbed by M&S but did manage to get the order done in PayPal. Hey ho.

@EvilHerbivore - I've bought large boxes of the twin packs of Borders biscuits from Amazon to send to the school staff rooms. Borders are lovely & sealed twin packs can be slipped into a pocket or bag for later.

I'm sure there are other, cheaper options out there though.

Extra 20% off and free standard delivery at YOOX

MrsMoggs · 06/12/2019 09:33

Beautician - this looks a good Clinique deal if you have the budget/Clinique presents to buy for other people (spend £40 and you can buy a set of 7 full sizes for £49).

Have another family member who would be perfect for it but unfortunately has a life-limiting illness and much less than a year left

@nightcap Flowers I’m sorry to hear that.

To be honest, I bought this on Jan 1st because pre-Christmas last year it was looking very bad for my mum and we thought it might be a case of only months and I was in a fu k-it-now-or-never mood. I actually couldn’t bring myself to set up questions past about 6 months. But then a new treatment had good results, and the year went on, abc here we are.

I don’t know if they’d refund you unused portions of the year, and maybe just too much to deal with, but still ... I understand!

Wishing you and yours a lovely festive season Flowers

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 06/12/2019 09:56

tisonlymeagain Saltrock have pyjamas and there's currently 30% off everything.

I've no idea what their PJs are like but their tshirts and hoodies are great and was well, wear well for ages

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 06/12/2019 09:57

*wash not was !

coffeetofunction · 06/12/2019 10:09

I don't know if this has been mention. Amazon are doing 3 months kindle free. Goes to £7.99 after 3 months so needs cancelling

Does anyone know where I can get an official man Utd shirt with a player on the back which isn't off the man Utd official site because they're nearly 60 quid!

deemeff · 06/12/2019 10:18

thank you @coffeetofunction!

Dandelionflower · 06/12/2019 10:21

What's the sizing like for Hype clothing? Amazon have up to 25% off Hype as a deal of the day.

PinkJam · 06/12/2019 10:32

Nuxe 15% when spend over £30

Use code: 15off30

Lovemusic33 · 06/12/2019 10:34

The sizing for hype is pretty spot on. I ordered dd a hoodie in a size 12 thinking I would buy bigger as most brands come up small but it’s pretty big. Not sure what the children’s sizes are like.

Fuckingfuckssake · 06/12/2019 10:42

I'm having a bad day, all the buildabear stuff in my basket has gone up to full price and judging by the Facebook page for the Highland Gift Company we definitely ain't getting no hampers!!

Whattodowithaminute · 06/12/2019 10:49

Just had a ccc alert that garmin vivofit junior 2 down to 49.99 on Amazon looks like lowest price ever

Mistressiggi · 06/12/2019 10:50

@bigchris we had a similar dilemma last year - dh bought a non-official one off eBay but when it came I thought it looked pretty pants and ds old enough to spot the difference - so I reordered from the official shop. They sold them (not sure about the name) in sports direct so if you got a code for somewhere like that it would help. Or second hand.

PinkJam · 06/12/2019 10:51

Cult Beauty have 20% off selected palettes. Some really good ones included such as Huda nude obsessions and Morphe. No code needed - discount is applied at checkout

PinkJam · 06/12/2019 10:56

@Fuckingfuckssake Not sure exactly what you’re looking for from Build A Bear but they have 2 for £28 or 2 for £35 on selected bears (depends which range you pick from)

The 2 for £35 includes Frozen, Pokemon and Star Wars.

It’s in store only!
