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

I'm also having trouble with John Lewis. Trying to buy towels, got the card and it seems to be linked (appears on top of the order) but still says promo code not valid.
Any advice please?

Not perhaps a gift but lots of babies on thread.

Free angel care nappy disposal system.

Create a baby wish list on Amazon

Go to angelcare nappy disposal system and add to wish list

Add at least 20 from baby store of products.

Add products valuing twenty and nappy bin to basket.

Proceed to checkout and at review order stage will see 19.99 deducted for bin.

Mum sent me this link from mirror online today so if you google free angelcare nappy bin news it takes you to that then to amazon link.

Not quite Christmassy but Looking for suggestions for a house gift?
Friend just bought her first house with her boyfriend, which was delayed with lockdown.

Budget maybe around £30 mark

She loves plants, has a million indoor ones. And now has a garden so was thinking maybe something for the garden. But open to suggestions.

Keep plugging away. It took me loads of attempts with my DH's order.

@tabbycat985 Thanks for posting the Holland and Barrett code. Got this beauty bundle for £24

@WisestIsShe - I couldn’t get it to work with towels either! Then it did with something else

@ClaraLane thanks for the coaster code just ordered some for MiL. Bargain!

Me! I'm not picking them up till Friday (collect from store) so I don't know yet. If they have a short life I may have to use them myself, they're lush.

Above I'm talking about the cocoba balls.

Thanks @BighouseLittlemouse and @NoWordForFluffy I'm giving up obviously John Lewis don't want to discount anything for me!

Theres info about this years lush advent calender out today! if you google lush christmas 2020 it should come up with stuff, it looks like it can be pre ordered from end of this month. good indicator of the individual pieces coming out for stocking fillers etc x

Thanks Mrsfussypants1. I may wait to order them - would you mind reporting back when you have them?

I have had an email from free prints saying they are giving away a free photo mug just pay p&p (which I think is £6! So maybe not a big bargain!)
I sometimes use the free prints app (45 free prints per month just pay postage) and it has the option when I open the app to create a free mug. I can't vouch for quality of their mugs as never ordered one.

Check your emails! I’ve had one from FreePrints with a free photo mug (postage charge of £5.99). No code, just a button to click that’s says ‘get my free mug’.

@allatonce99 you beat me to it!

FreePrints has a free photo mug you just pay postage. Postage is £6.99 so expensive but most places are charging around £10 for a photo mug before delivery so I think it's a deal.

Bought for my grandad who're notoriously difficult to buy for

Pissing kitten i'll update on Friday morning.

Studio have 2 personalised kids dressing gowns for £12. You can use code 012 to get 10% off and free p&p. So it's £10.80 for 2 dressing gowns including delivery.

Thanks to all the posters who have made fab suggestions so far.

www.toystreet.co.uk/product-category/sale/ has some good offers and discount codes on site if you buy 3 or 5 items.

Check out board games as good deals on there too like the Ride Europe types.

If you are into strategic games you may like Qwirkle and think this is one of the cheapest places to buy online from at the moment.

You may get a better deal as well if you go in from money saving sites like Quidco etc.

I was thinking a Lush calendar for dd8 but after I saw the price I think she won't get it. She would like to have a bath bomb advent calendar.

did anyone order and already collected the hotel chocolat cocoa gin set from JL and know the best before date on the chocolate?

Does anyone know of any good deals on Schleich animals?

@Wigglegiggle0520 @MissRabbitIsExhausted @xoxogossipgirl2020

Thanks so much for your recommendations! I’m keen for the rosebud cottage as my girls had that eons ago and really loved it, Will keep in mind the Disney castle though, haven’t had any experience with those. Might get the advent calendar too, depends on funds closer to the time!

@RaggieDolls did you get free delivery? I’ve over £30 in my basket but delivery isn’t being taken off.

@Myhouse2011, yes, I did. It didn't look like it was taking it off until you got to the last checkout page.
