Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through

Here’s Barbarara’s instructions from last year on doing clicky links:

Open double square brackets
No space
Paste link
Space
Name of link
No space
Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.
If I do it again without the extra spaces only the word bargain will appear in blue

@FilthyforFirth even with postage it’s just over £2 per item. I would get it then try TK Maxx for a ceramic pot.

@TheGriffle could you post a screenshot? DD would love the clay set.

Meant to post the screenshot!

Sorry, realised as I was rereading that I’d posted my picture of it by accident instead of the amazon screenshot. It looks really good and I think a bargain with the £2.00 off as well.

Right just sorted out the stuff I have squirrelled away and I appear to have lots for teen DD but not a lot for DS 9 so need some small gift ideas for him so please send ideas for Lego & fortnite loving 9 year old.

Thanks @hiredandsqueak. That looks like the Amazon one without the massive delivery! Will go with that one and look for a ceramic pot. Thanks @lockdownhairdontcare will try TK Maxx

Just be warned the clay doesn’t set like regular air dry clay. If a book or something falls on the item your child has lovingly created it will become a flat item

Thanks @TheGriffle and @MulberryPeony. Will look for the stuff that sets hard, was thinking to make beads etc for DD.

@IggyAce there are Fortnite Funko Pops. Gamer socks. Skins for his controllers.

Also there are a couple of sellers on Etsy that do game controller shaped bath bombs.

Amazing, I also got a randon £5 voucher off of thar purchase so was only £17.99. Feels like a right bargain now! Thanks @hiredandsqueak!

Thanks so much for the Nike tip @Lockdownhairdontcare I've just saved a small fortune on trainers for my eldest DS 🙌🏻

Thank you for the beer link, ordered as an advent calendar for my other half.

My new sparks offer is a bag of salad!! 😂

I managed to get 6 dolls for 65 euros from the lottie doll website and free shipping to Denmark. Quite a scoop

Thanks for the weighted blanket code! I’ll probably gift the weighted duvet cover and eye mask (maybe add a sleep-aiding pillow spray and make a little bed set gift) and keep the blanket for myself!

blanket set

With code VJ4PQ46J makes it £22

I couldn’t get the flavourly beer site to work for me either so I gave up on the 24 beers

Present storage: small and stocking items in hold-all under our bed which is too low for hide and seek so no one goes under there, caught out by hide and seek in previous years when I thought I had found a cunning place to hide gifts in the airing cupboard....

Now we use the suitcases for big stuff

@Luxplus

I can't find any offers on the Lottie Doll website? Am I being dense??

Fitbit best price

Thank you so much for the weighted blanket link @evilherbivore I've been looking for one for Dd for ages, and that bargainous price is amazing!

£22.40 and also comes with quilt cover and weighted eye mask!

What was the name of the company that did the flavoured marshmallows, last year or the year before? I vaguely remember they had an advent calendar so I want to keep an eye out for it if it exists outside my imagination

Also can anyone recommend an advent calendar for a 40ish woman who is very much into make up and beauty products. I’m truly clueless about brands and she’s a total brand snob, but she’s lovely and deserves pampering. Hoping for bargainous but higher end, and can wait patiently to pounce on a bargain if I know what I’m stalking!

Managed to get the beer deal but took alot of tries to get it added to the basket then quite a while to get to the payment page!

Do I need a weighted blanket? The higher weight one must have sold out but the code works with the next weight down so is under £20 with the code.

@Fuckingfuckssake if you buy for 60 euros you get the swan lake doll for free automatically added to the basket. I choose the bundles and on offer doll so got 2 ballerina and 1 boy doll for 65 euros and then the free doll on top

It’s not under £20 it’s £22.40 sorry, didn’t realise I’d had a refund in my account lol. Think I’d prefer a plug in blanket instead.
