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

Are there any beer or ales gifts people can recommend? Or gin? Looking for Christmas gifts for the brothers!

Simply cook has transformed our meals. Very rarely have takeaways as these are healthier and way more tasty.

@ShandlersWig you are right they are notorious for breaking! If you are handy (and good with fiddly stuff) the little repair kits you get off amazon work really well and you can just follow a YouTube video to do the repairs. I have one spare button left lol.

Thank you for the Alex and Alexa code whoever posted that, got dcs winter Clark’s boots for less than half price and other bits at great discount. Some good bits in their toys as well

I'm hoping to get DS an electric scooter if anyone knows of any offers on them?

I noticed Fenwicks have a wee sale on sylvanian families. Not bad bit not brilliant except a few wee sets at a good price (£4 for laundy £7 for the toilet). Delivery is only free over £25 so use if you just want wee bits but if you live nearby you could pop in or maybe click and collect.

@Lockdownlumpy Spicentice.com and JD seasonings both do packets of spice mixes and there’s usually a good discount code if you search on either google or Instagram. Make great gifts for friend and family that are doing a weight loss program

I got the Spicery how to be a curry legend tin last year for dh, it was a big hit and we cook something at least once a week. With the sale and a referral code it was about £22 and the set is enough to make 5-6 curries from the book.
I’m hoping for a similar sale this year as he has expressed an interest in the new taco legend set.

I can use my teacher discount on the Seasalt Janelle which takes it down to £112. I'm going to get it next month (overspent this month!) on payday. I need a looooong coat so it seems the best one which is warm and waterproof (apart from North Face and I can't justify £200 plus).

Also on zavvi they have lots of kids Harry Potter t shirts in 2 for £10 (or they were yesterday). Got several slytherin ones for ds.

Thanks @purplepandas for the Mountain Warehouse tip, I’ve just got some good bargains!

John Lewis have 25% off some sylvanian families stuff. Other half managed to get spare joy cons for the switch for £35.08 on amazon but think they may be back to normal price

Has anyone tried the look fantastic mystery beauty boxes? They apparently have £80 worth of stuff in for £15 plus they are 3 for 2 so work out at £10 each with free delivery

@IggyAce, the Taco Legend was really cheap if you pre-ordered. It's a shame you missed it.

What about this website for tea lovers ?

@stressbucket1 I got that deal last year from look fantastic. Lots of stuff in them, the teens in my family were impressed. Don’t know if it was £80 worth but certainly a lot more than £10! Thanks for spotting, I’ve ordered again.

Oh thats good to know. I've just ordered. Hopefully will do a couple of gifts if not will be a treat to myself!

Thank you so much for beauty box idea
Got 3

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh I missed the pirate ship

Just wanted to second the recommendation for The Spicery - got my DH a kit for Christmas and he LOVES it!

The look fantastic mystery boxes. If i order three, will it be the same 3 boxes? I just would like to know if i'd get duplicates or different ones?

I can’t find the look fantastic mystery beauty boxes on their website. Could someone generously provide a link?

I just typed it in google and it came up, I have ordered 3 in hope they are all different
