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‘

@Jammiebammie last suggestion next do delivery Monday for £3.99 if you order today.

thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead · 07/12/2019 16:27

@nov1ce try character.com for pjs, esp if your DC have any favourite tv character. They usually have some good bargains in their clearance section and have free delivery until tomorrow with DASHER19

PinkDaydreams · 07/12/2019 16:29

Watch out with character, I’ve had a few sets of pyjamas and haven’t been impressed with the quality, also very small sized.

To everyone disappointmented with their personalised cups and calendars snapfish have loads of deals. i used our desktop to design everything but the app shows all the deals including 60% off calendars which made it only £7. Standard Delivery by 14th December as well. Hope this can help someone!

Jammiebammie · 07/12/2019 16:40

Thank you all for the wrapping recommendation - good to know about the studio not being very wide and fab tip about the Christmas tablecloths.

I might actually go with next then, they have some nice ones and on 3 for 2 they can come tomorrow - oooh I’ve just remembered I’ve got a £10 gift card somewhere so that’s great.

Thanks again (sorry it won’t let me @ anyone)

ritzbiscuits thanks for the Lego minifigures tip off. Managed to get some in my local Argos this afternoon. Will probably use them for cracker presents too.

TakeMeToYourLiar · 07/12/2019 17:30

Thank you so much @WheresMrMonkey!

RJnomore1 · 07/12/2019 18:02

Thank you for the wrapping table cloth tip. I have bought DH foam tile flooring for his garage gym and I was baffled as to how to wrap it...

AGirlHasNoShame · 07/12/2019 18:22

Anyone know of any beautiful loungewear? All the nice ones in next are OOS

Barbararara · 07/12/2019 18:26

Irish bargain hunters

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned already but moneyguide ireland is worth a look. It’s a bit like MSE but on a smaller scale.

MulberryPeony · 07/12/2019 18:46

Kiipix are down to £19.99 in all colours on Amazon right now.

@Jammiebammie yes you're a star, thank you. I feel like I'm totally incapable of using the internet now!

thaegumathteth · 07/12/2019 19:20

Was in home bargains today and they had twisty pets for £4.99 I've never heard of them before but dd (9) was vvv excited. They're little animals made of beads that turn into a bracelet.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 07/12/2019 19:54

For loungewear I highly recommend Lucy locket loves in fact casual wear leggings, activewear leggings, shorts etc etc I may have a Lucy locket addiction.

Code Twenty500 may still get you 20% off as well

Givealittlebit · 07/12/2019 20:01

Quick question for those of you who have brought the i12 TWS fake AirPod things, are there any particularly sellers that are recommended? There's so many on amazon and eBay and the prices seem to vary. I'm in a tight budget but would rather spend an extra £5 or so for a recommended seller!

tinysnickersaremyfavourite · 07/12/2019 20:35

Does anyone know a source for cheap mahabis? Has to be the actual brandes ones unfortunately...

WeAreTheWeirdosMister · 07/12/2019 20:39

CourtOfProtection · 07/12/2019 20:59

Very cute bag WeAreTheWeirdosMister. So cheap! Unfortunately looks like it won't arrive til after Christmas Confused

IJustWantToWearDungarees · 07/12/2019 21:06

Not a bargain but does anyone else have problems with TK Maxx labels? Just bought my DSis a lovely bargainous candle from there but the price label is welded on and trying to peel it off has left it looking really messy. Quite cross about it!

LyraSilvertongueBelacqua · 07/12/2019 21:30

Thanks @youvegotafriendinme that's a good buy but it's the singing one she wants!

CharlieWeasley · 07/12/2019 21:34

IJustWantToWearDungarees I used rubbing alcohol to get mine off. Acetone would possibly work as well? Just make sure it wont damage whatever the label is stuck on. Mine was on coloured glass so came off fine.

MulberryPeony · 07/12/2019 21:42

I was really disappointed by the MASSIVE stuck on labels on my tkmaxx order but they did all peel off thankfully.
