@ToTheRegimentIWishIWasThere can u recommend the camera?

I have a random request - has anyone seen any Egyptian themed Christmas baubles? Only need one - don’t mind what it is ( pyramid, pharoah whatever!). I can’t seem to find any ( not entirely surprising ...)

Bring lost my parcel so now awaiting for the request to get a new one sent and hope it'll be here before the 24th...

@Gardenworm Costco have 2x£20 gift cards for £35 www.costco.co.uk/Jewellery-Apparel-Gifts/Gifts/For-Him/40-Vue-Cinema-Gift-Cards-Multipack-2-x-20/p/142141

DPD messed up a delivery a while back and they sent me a little biscuit in a box, iced and with my name on it
It was very good marketing actually I felt a lot better! even better if it was chocolate

Does anyone have an ASOS discount code please? Thank you kindly

bighouselittlemouse could you get a clear bauble and put in a little figure? I'm sure there's an Egyptian Lego minifigure - could glue on the bottom with some sand/gold glitter. maybe even Sharpie some hieroglyphics on the outside?

RJnomore1 I bought a conspiracy pallet from morphe so you definitely could. Unfortunately I didn’t know I’d need another one and then bought that from beautybay not realising the customs fee.

@BighouseLittlemouse There is a Tutankhamen snowglobe here if that’s any good? They also have some key rings which would work if you swapped the ring for some ribbon.
Or the British Museum shop have a mummy or a cat though I think the cats a bit ugly personally! Lots in America but nothing that will arrive on time unfortunately.

Having finally replaced my hampergate hamper with a diy one, could anyone save me from searching through 19 threads and telling me where to buy some cellophane to cover it with? Thank you!

@Mistressiggi i was standing at our local supermarket with my youngest dd while they searched for the packet. Because we waited so long dd both got a sandwich and drink as well as some cookies to munch on, so very nice service. Not the supermarkets fault the parcel is gone but very nice gestus..

@Hedgyhoggy brandalley have some gin glasses on sale.
£8 each or £18 for 4... postage charges apply though. If you need a referral code there are some on the referrals thread but thy are normally £80 min spend.

Or these on tkmaxx for £12.99 for 4.

Thank you @RenardeRenarde only prob is I'd have to buy x2 to take advantage of the the offer online and I really don't need that many x

Celtic & Co £20 off if you spend more than £20 with code WRAP19

@BighouseLittlemouse - could you hang this scarab necklace from the tree? scarab

Thanks renarde and nocuts

Sainsbury's had 20% off the Vue gift cards last week and Tesco usually follow suit so worth looking there.

Harry Potter Great Hall Lego is now down to £65.69 on Amazon, cheapest I've seen it.

Lux I can't recommend it personally because we've never had one before but my friend's little girl had one and she said it's robust and good quality. I've just bought it for a Tasmanian devil disguised as a small boy so fingers crossed

@Mistressiggi hobbycraft have cello wrap, e bay too though tight now for postage

Just a heads up if anyone is looking for a PS4 or other consoles Amazon have reduced their prices on the console bundles but around £40 compared to even the black friday deals.

e.g. PS4 console, plus extra dual shock controller and Fortnite game included for £199

@Gardenworm kidspass offers discount on cinema tickets. Its only £1 for the first 30 days so you can cancel your subscription after that. Its not the most aesthetically pleasing present and has to be redeemed online only.

@Mistressiggi Lidl do it too.

I asked about a bargainous heated throw earlier - any ideas?

The Book People have gone into administration!

Goodness @CarrotVan really! I both surprised and not. They always had such bargains and I was never quite sure how they stayed afloat but I also know that over the years I've bought quite a lot from them.

I think it's difficuly for booksellers generally nowadays. With e-readers and also the hulk of Amazon dominating the market. Those who step away from amazon tend to try to visit actual book shops to support independent sellers and i suppose The Book People are neither.
