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‘

PLEASE - no spoilers for the gin box!

Sixp · 04/12/2019 14:14

deemef thank you. She has quit an expensive camera, that she barely uses... she is very busy with sport and school so when she’s home all she wants to do is watch Netflix!

SweetPeaPods · 04/12/2019 14:18

I’m hoping to venture to real shops this Friday though not sure how many bargains will be around.
Still need to buy for nieces and nephews.

imsorryiasked · 04/12/2019 14:24

@Sixp Beanbag? Or maybe something from here

redtulip12 · 04/12/2019 14:28

Just got a £16.99 bottle of wine for £1.95 delivered. Saw the deal on Facebook

You just need to download the Wineapp app to your phone by going to wineapp.com (or looking it up in your app store), use the code KH968 and you will receive £15 credit, use an additional discount code TOPUSER15 for 15% off (limited time) You'll then just need to pay for delivery.

Lovemusic33 · 04/12/2019 14:30

Just had a 25% off Matalan voucher in the post but In store only.

Anyone else get excited when the post comes each day and when the courier knocks the door? I then have to try and remember what I’ve actually ordered.

Bansku19 · 04/12/2019 14:47

I hope the couriers and mail comes during the day time. Dh is fed up me ordering stuff. He doesn't realise that I do all the Xmas shopping and mostly online.

I got Matalan 20% off voucher and I store only.

RagingBall · 04/12/2019 15:04

Just had a look at the Facebook page for the hamper company and there are a few comments asking when they'll receive the hamper they ordered in September/October ShockShock

Wonder if they'll come through...

funnyfeeling · 04/12/2019 15:12

I live in a block of flats and it's a bit of a jumble at this time of year with whoever was in that day having all the parcels Blush
Hopes are raised and dashed sometimes multiple times a day!

noodledoodler · 04/12/2019 15:23

Strange kind of day. I am not waiting for any parcels 🙄

BarkandCheese · 04/12/2019 15:23

My Hearst magazine Red beauty box arrived today. Its really nicely packaged and it even had an extra good sized perfume sample in with it. I’m very chuffed with it for £36, it looks more expensive and will make a fab gift for Dsis. Thanks to the person who posted about them.

Gustavo1 · 04/12/2019 15:25

@serg sorry, am massively impatient.

@Tiredmummyof3 I retract my request for spoilers Smile

Sixp · 04/12/2019 15:27

imsorryiasked We got her a massive beanbag last year from The Great Beanbag Company, which was a big hit- but now she has that 😕 gah!

imsorryiasked · 04/12/2019 15:31

@Sixp ok my last shot - a Fitbit type thing (you can tell I'm technically minded!)

gaggiagirl · 04/12/2019 15:40

Sorry about that my keyboard hates me!

gaggiagirl · 04/12/2019 15:42

@Lovemusic33 Argos is now your best bet, tesco burrito pets are now £9.

Choconuts · 04/12/2019 15:53

The above wine code is a referral code so I have added mine to the referral thread. Both of us get £15 off wine Wine

Sixp · 04/12/2019 15:57

imsorryiasked thank you for another idea. She saved up for a long while and bought herself a refurbished Apple Watch, for fit bit type stuff. Then didn’t like it much or wear it so sold it! She really is an impossible person to buy for. She is a lovely girl who hasn’t even asked for anything and has had a rough year starting in hospital and having to learn to walk again from scratch and she’s been a real trooper. I just want to think of a wow present for her. She also plays a couple of musical instruments, but has everything she needs on that front. She’s managed to get her fitness back to a level which is good enough for her to compete again in her sport - but she has all the kit for that too... I wish I could think of something for her!

Carrie76 · 04/12/2019 15:57

Sixp · 04/12/2019 15:59

Also, because of her illness, she received absolutely loads of crafty things from lovely friends and teachers. But it means she has a million pens and colouring books and a whole box of decoupage!

TheGlaikitRambler · 04/12/2019 16:04

@RagingBall a few of us ordered in October and we were told at the time of ordering it would be December.

Ohmygoodmess · 04/12/2019 16:04

Email from Hotel Chocolat £10 off the Velvitiser with code HOHO until midnight Thursday 5th December 😊

Checking in. No hampers here yet Sad

Renovirgin2018 · 04/12/2019 16:13

Just looked on the Highland gift fb. They are a very small business- 3 people - and started dispatching hampers yesterday. They have said they will be dispatching every day until 9th December. I guess they are just very busy.

SweetPeaPods · 04/12/2019 16:24

Does anyone know anything about the hotel chocolat vip club?
