Tried the pp's velvetiser code and it didn't work. Said it had already been redeemed, so they are one time only codes.

@Fubbs
You won’t regret it - they really are lovely. Dd got the koala one and will probably live in it. I fancy one myself but I’m usually too warm!!

@LeaderoftheAteam I thought GLTC did personalised ones. But can only find plain. They are beautiful quality - I bought three last year. I wonder if you could get someone locally to personalise though that’s hassle.

Anyone not wanting personalised stockings these are a really good price this weekend.

@zeerecords I discovered dr Botanicals from this thread last year. They regularly send codes for individual products heavily discounted and seem to do 70% off every other month or so. Products I like are the lemon balm it’s amazing. The soap bars are nice I got a rubarb & something last year. I brought my nephew some charcoal soap and face mask, he has problem skin and liked them.

@LeaderoftheAteam just had a look on Etsy and there’s some cute personalised stockings and I find the small makers cheaper than Not on the High Street. stockings

@IggyAce me too. I really like the rhubarb one. I tried to get some bars when the 70% email came through but the ones I like had sold out. I try again next time / they send the 70% offers every month or so.

@LeaderoftheAteam I got a personalised stocking and personalised presents sack for DD last month from Notonthehighstreet in their sale. The stocking was a lovely green velvet one by Lisa Angel. Excellent quality. There's loads on Notonthehighstreet to choose from.

This is the one I got www.notonthehighstreet.com/lisaangeljewellery/product/personalised-embroidered-name-velvet-christmas-stocking

Not a bargain when not on sale but if you have an amex card then I'd suggest ordering it direct from the Lisa Angel website as they're in the shop small event so you'll get £5 back on your card.

Thanks to the poster for the tip off on Lego Dots, plus something else I’ve now forgotten .

Does anyone know what the speed cubers link was - have looked back but can’t spot.

Also bought Dr Botanicals last year - got a big box of soaps which were nicely scented and lasted well.

I didn't realise I needed an oodie in my life, but my goodness, I do.
Sorry, can't remember the poster's name, but the extra codes don't work on Neom.

My free Free Prints mug was delivered today, very impressed with how quick it came as I normally have to wait about 10 days for deliveries from them. Love it!

@LeaderoftheAteam I got my dd a personalised one on festive studio a couple of years ago.

So happy to be back here again! These threads really helped me out last year and it's that time again

If anyone can help with deals on Grimms, Grapat or Tonie box that would be great thanks.

I'll post any deals/codes I find

speedcubes set

Just picked up some diffusers in lidl. The scents are called Frankincense and Frosted Pine. Only £3.99 each and come in a nice box so will probably gift one and keep one for myself. I used a £5 off £25 spend voucher as I needed a few bits of food shopping anyway and had recently signed up to the Lidl Plus app, not sure if that offer is still on though.

Hello! - it makes me very happy when I see these threads start back up again

the RNLI shop has quite a few things on sale online - they sell some pretty nice things anyway and it's for a good cause. Free del over £50, £3.75 if under that.

Cute purses & pouches
fish decorations and grooming sets
random mens stocking bits and dog bandanas

Thank you for the rnli heads up

Thank you for the Dr Botanicals, Gruum, Turtle Doves, Amazon flash sales, John Lewis code and By Terry offers. V happy with my purchases so far!

Can anyone recommend decent men's slippers?

With a decent sole, and don't expand an extra size after a week

Not really Christmassy - 10% off at Start Rite with code BTS11

@LeaderoftheAteam We got new personalised stockings and santa sacks from Studio last year, not somewhere I would normally order from but the quality was so so so much better than others we have had, fully lined, and the personalisation was good and they went on offer regularly, in the end got them for £5.99 a set (stocking and mid size Santa each) which was astoundingly good value, would have paid double that and not felt ripped off

And 15% off a £50 spend at The White Company with code BD610

@VacMan the Ben Sherman range (often found in TK Maxx) are fab according to DFIL, and DP really rates his Mahabis (strangely also often found in TK Maxx)

If anyone’s looking for a microscooter, code BTS20 gets £20 off of spends over £150 and code BTS40 gets £40 off of a £250 plus spend

www.micro-scooters.co.uk/?mc_cid=7a45f7ab67&mc_eid=df5e76c64e

Can anyone tell me if The White Company ever have bigger discounts than the standard 10/15%? I’d like to get SIL a pair of the cashmere bed socks but I’m cheap money conscious so if I could get them for less than £30 that’d be ideal.

Don’t know if I’m wishful thinking!

Thanks @Someaddedsugar I never think of TK Maxx, I'll take a look.
