@GruffaloStick have a look at The Spicery for a subscription gift - you could give it with some decent wine etc? Or they do some cookbooks with kits, I think. If any good, I have a referral code for 10% off.

Or how about some Peace Oil, and a bottle of decent wine, and some fancy crackers or bread or salt or something?

Anyone know of a lego batman bargain? Or discount for a shop that might sell it? I was planning to get the £9 set on amazon but it's gone up to £14! Trying to avoid trekking to smyths, so either somewhere i can get the little set (riddler Bank robbery) without paying postage or a bargain on a bigger batman set. Thanks!

@UnderTheSleepingBaby have you checked Tesco? I noticed on the app they have some Lego reduced.

@UnderTheSleepingBaby the lego set is on next for £9, have you got a next nearby you could collect from? Or have you tried b&m, I noticed that had some little lego sets at a good price the other day

Hubbys bday celebrations today, gave him the spicery curry legends tin as one of his gifts, he absolutely loves it, says its a great gift

@DaisyChops thank you, that would have been perfect but it just says unavailable if I try to add it to my bag. I've browsed b&m and Tesco before but will have another look tomorrow if I end up in town. (thanks @thaegumathteth too)

@UnderTheSleepingBaby looks like it's sold on ocado and Sainsbury's if you can get a shop booked?

Was there an offer for some Spode Christmas tree tableware somewhere? I didn’t pay attention at the time but I need some for a gift now. Thank you

@Sneezein3s I've bought my team the Winter votive from White Company each - I wanted to get them all the same and these were £12 each and came wrapped in a beautiful bag with tissue paper (in-store) - they have 20% off this weekend across all fragrances if that helps?

@JBFletcherstypewriter it's our first year with DS at nursery and we've bought his keyworker a travel mug and hand cream, and then bought the rest of the people who work there a selection of chocolates and biscuits as they really have done so much for us this year that we really wanted to get them something as a little thank you.

Boden have 50% off sale online starting today. Have bought some more clothes which I could not resist for DD. Happy Sunday ( shopping!)

@Whattodowithaminute and anyone else interested in Orchard Toys games- there are quite a few on Amazon deals today

Could anyone tell me where I can find thatchers rascal cider, have tried all the usual suspects 🤔

@supermariossister waitrose sell it.

Levi's have an up to 50% off sale using code EARLY19, not actually found any for the full discount off but have seen a couple at 40% off and one pair 20% off.

I twitched this morning and bought dd the playmobil Porsche and horse box, not sure if she will really like it, she has ASD and loves cars but is a bit old for playmobil, trouble is she breaks everything so couldn’t buy her anything too grown up, playmobil seems more durable than a model car. I now feel the need to twitch for her sister but I know dd1 will be happy with what I have got her already and she told me she doesn’t mind if her sister had more to open.

Omg thank you, totally didnt think of there!

This is not the Christmas I’ve been planning for. In hospital since Friday with suspected gallbladder/pancreas issues. Not going anywhere in a hurry. Christmas market in Prague on Thursday up the spout.
I haven’t even started wrapping yet!!! Gutted is an understatement

I think it's probably safe to say Body Shop won't be doing a 40% off offer this year...I think I''ve held out as long as I can so I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy now

Soory to hear that Naturalblonde. I hope you get out soon and take it easy. One of the nicest Christmases we had we didn't have the big meal, just presents and loads of play. Doesn't have to be conventional to be lovely. Hope you find a way.

Oops, cross posted NaturalBlonde Hope you get better soon

For anyone else who was waiting for Body Shop, code 38938 does give 30% off essential products.

Selfridges have reduced the lancome beauty advent to £65

The Revolution one has been at £30 reduced from £50 for a while

And lookfantastic is £85 from £120

@BubbleTravel RELAX15 came through my email today, u could also try THANKU20 which was live earlier in the week

Major twitch yesterday.

Lacoste jumper for DH (almost 1/3 off)
Running socks 3 for 2 for him
Found vinyl I think he will like cheap on amazon
He’s very spoilt😂

Abd a detective pikachu stuffed toy for dd2 who does NOT need it. Now debating if I need to get her 19yo sister a stuffed toy in case she’s jealous 😳
