@mashpot my dnephew had all my boys toys and clothes and all his older brother’s. Dsis liked personalised things for him or a really good item of clothing. A fleece hoody with his initial on it and a tractor t-shirt (his special interest) are two things I can think of that he was pleased with.

personalised brandy glass

Can't re find the post asking for secret Santa ideas for a brandy drinker, hence the bold.

Don’t want to be a Debbie Downer but I wouldn’t use an ancestry testing kit if gifted. It’s well known those companies are set up to collect and sell your personal data. They have already developed some products which utilise the DNA data. There are concerns about dna profiling and access to services. It’s not really scare mongering; it’s actually already happened (ie sale of data to pharmas) - a quick google will bring up lots of articles.

The GHD offer is brilliant.

Did anyone else buy the long phone chargers that were linked here on amazon lightening deals?
Just a heads up to check that they’re the right attachment size for the phone you’re buying them for (or maybe it’s just common sense to do this and I’m an idiot 🤦🏼‍♀️ I just saw iPhone charger and assumed it would fit).
I bought two, one for me and one as a present. Went to use mine last night and the bit that goes in the phone is the wrong size for both my iPhone and the person’s phone I’d bought it for. I might be able to return one but ripped the box on the other.
But anyway just a heads up in case people wrap without realising!

Someone asked on the last thread about chocolate spoons. Tiger are doing chocolate snowman with marshmallows inside that you melt in hot chocolate. I bought some for my dc as I thought they looked a nice alternative to chocolate spoons.

Also I have 2 Lakeland vouchers £5 off £30 and £10 off £50.
Annoyingly they can't be used until January so I'm not going to make use of them, but if anyone else can, let me know and I'll send you the codes.

Also Ness has a 12 days of Xmas with some good discounts, mainly on purses and bags. I like today's!

Has anyone got any recommendations for a fun board game to play after Christmas Dinner? We have my parents and aunt who are in their 60's and my dd who is 13. So something fun that we all can play. Past years we've had articulate , Obama llama and linkee .

EachandEveryone · 10/12/2019 09:44

Did anyone order the Celtic Co insoles? I have to say I don’t honestly know what to do with them 😟 they look like they wouldn’t fit in any shoes of mine or anyone else’s and they shed as soon as you touch them.

christmassymcchristmas · 10/12/2019 09:46

I'm baffled by the insoles too. They are huge and falling to bits

woodwaj · 10/12/2019 09:50

Another fan of the tape dispenser. My OH is giving me strange looks because I've been carrying it around like a precious newborn Xmas Grin it's a game changer!

Loving the thread title!

M&S have fantastic dad and me socks. A matching child's pair, £5 a set, in splitting them for stockings as DD8 will be overjoyed!

nicky2512 · 10/12/2019 10:02

catanddogmade6 That is a good idea too. Hadn’t thought of that. Think I will have to drag myself out to the real shops. Bought far more online this year than ever and got some great help on here. Thanks everyone.

Someone was looking for gifts for their DH - there’s a whole separate thread for men’s gifts on the Christmas board

Casablanca78 · 10/12/2019 10:13

Which is the rapesco tape dispenser you are all raving about please?
Seems to be loads of different ones? Thanks
