I have a birthday email from Samsung with a code for 15 percent off. One use. Would anyone like it? Assume its transferable. Just says one use.

My weighted blanket has also arrived. I was shocked at the size of the box and the weight. I haven't opened it yet as still might give it as a present......but probably will be snuggled up under it by this evening😀
It looks lovely quality, fantastic bargain. Thankyou again to the poster who mentioned it. Much appreciated.

Ah thank you @FireflyGirl. DS is 3 and has that one! He got it for last Christmas and still absolutely loves it (alongside the two further pirate ships he got for his birthday!) That is a brilliant price for it though, my parents got it for him and pretty sure it was around £30 in the sale then!

Dr Botanicals order done so that’s my DN sorted, another stocking filler for DD and a soap for me. Plus code freelemon gets you a free lemon balm if you spend £10. Highly recommend the lemon balm.

DCUK the duck company have 10% off spotty ducks.

Oops meant to say at dr Botanicals

I’ve just got 2 packs of the coasters for both sets of grandparents (plus delivery to France!) for £16. Thanks for the code!

Dr Botanicals still don’t have MY rhubarb soap back in stock. I’m not talking to them anymore 😭

Is the weighted blanket offer still on? I can't seem to find the post about it. Thanks

I just came in to say my coasters arrived today & are amazing! Going to order some more now I’ve seen the link is working.
Thanks for this thread it’s so helpful. Off to check off Molton brown & Buckley London in a mo!

Sylvanian Klaxon!

Brick oven Bakery down to 22.99 on amazon.

Ooh you can use code SAVE30 along with the £4 code to knock 30% more off the coasters folks!

@ClaraLane bugger missed that opportunity!

Just ordered my coasters, wouldn't let me use the second discount code though? Did go through TCB but not sure it'll track as wasn't using an approved discount code.

My blanket came today too, the packaging was double the size! It looks lovely but haven’t opened it as it’s a gift. Thanks very much for that bargain

Not Christmas related but H&M have some halloween themed clothes in stock on the website. Always worth joining the loyalty scheme as I had two vouchers waiting and free delivery.
I managed to get two dresses and two long sleeve tops for £15 delivered.

I wish I'd bought more weighted blankets as gifts. Both my kids have been under mine and raved about it and at least 2 family members would have loved one. But this one's miiiiiine ❤️

The actual blanket takes up about half the depth of the box. I was shocked when I came home and saw that huge box on my doorstep!

It comes in a plastic 'bag', so if you're giving it as a gift it should wrap well. I ordered it for me though, so I'm intending to hide under it this evening and hope it helps me sleep better tonight.

Amazon always overwraps. We've had tiny lego sets in a huge box with loads of packing paper.

I managed to take in the giant weighted blanket parcel when DH was out today and also put 4 delivery boxes in the loft. My bedroom was seating to look like a delivery warehouse (we have our own separate rooms). I can tell he hasn't looked at Internet banking recently as he hasn't mentioned my spending 🤣 I haven't ordered anything today though!

@ClaraLane I was disappointed too that the rubarb soap was out of stock, I ordered the coconut one to try that. I sorted out the present box and discovered I still have a champagne one from last years order and it still smells amazing.

Just jumped on the photo box coaster bandwagon Last year’s photo magnets from them were a big hit but coasters feel a bit more niche. “Here, put your drink on my face...” so have just done them for grandparents! I couldn’t get the save30 to work though.

Got a CCC alert for Lego landrover defender, still pricey but best price ever at £126.

Don't know if this is of interest but smiggle hug a buds watches are down to £6 today from £18

smiggle watch

Also this beard trimmer set in amazon is down to £7.91 from £29.99 with the voucher applied. Seems a nice set.

@ClaraLane the rhubarb soap is alll mine! I am on my last bar though so feeling a bit miffed.

The Photobox coasters were a hit last year and I’m pleased with the quality again. The quality of the photo on my mug isn’t quite as good but I think I made a poor choice of photo.

My DS1) aged 4 recently received an aqua play set for his birthday. It’s an awesome gift for the garden and looks a good price.

Though I guess it’s more a summer toy.
