Thanks for the GBgifts link @tentative3 - I fell down the rabbit hole. Good job most of the items I fancied were out of stock but I still spent £20 on nothing much

@PinkDaydreams yes, the liverpool tea warehouse. I may be a bit addicted

Well i had no argos voucher, no asda george voucher and no ebay voucher

I do however have a novelty santa toilet cover coming my way.

Thanks sooo much for the Toy Story game link @laylalalalao!! Father Christmas always brings a game for DC to share and this will be perfect, thanks!

@pintsizeprincess thank you! That’s DH’s goddaughter sorted.

I am genuinely baffled my LOL Dolls. She goes nuts for them though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great discounts on carters.com
They ship to the U.K. and although shipping fees and taxes are steep the savings are still good.
Plus CART6291 gives a further discount. It halved duties and taxes for me but I think it depends on overall amount.

That's a great lol deal, thanks pintsizeprincess

The lol deal, it looks like the price has been bumped up by amazon. Those dolls are retailing at 11.99 in most places. Argos have lots of dolls and pets on offer.

Thank you for the bomb cosmetics, one llama and sloth bath bomb for each of the girls stockings!

Anyone seen any five nights at freddys bargains? My daughter is 11 nearly 12.

Also wanted to add kukubird have some amazing leggings in their 2 for £5 offers (unicorn - including llama/sloth and lots of others, flamingo, emoji - includes skull/gothic prints) . Or some mystery boxes and great sale leggings for around £5.99. I have a referral code for £5 off first spend (and I get £5 too) not sure if I can post here, if you would like it please pm me as I think it contains my name!
Very similar fit and quality to the lucy locket casuals, me and my 11 year old love them! Im getting some for my daughters stocking 😄

The LOL dolls definitely have the pricing off. I clicked on the link and it came up that I had bought exact doll back in June for £8 when it’s rrp was £11.99

I love these threads. I'm sat here catching up drinking tea from my Emma Bridgwater bargain mug from years ago. I was in M&S yesterday so casually checked my Sparks rewards. I got free Percy Pigs but also got £20 off a £20 spend- twice and £10 of £10 spend so picked up a new duvet cover, fitted sheet, pillow cases and 2 Christmas presents for a total of £9.50.

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts, are those leggings just adult sizes? I looked as look lovely but could not see any children's sizes. Just checking in case I am being dim as you mentioned your 11 yr old.

Home bargains online have several National Geographic animal figures play sets prices from £5.99 they also have a tub of 14 farm themed animals for £7.99.

@Allhallowseve and @sorryiasked glad it was of use. Their stock is always a bit hit and miss but sometimes I think that's a good thing or I'd spend hundreds on imported sweets and chocolate!

Hello does any of you mire experienced parents know if the chad valley tots and fisher price little people fit into each other sets? I'm not sure what shapes the bottoms are thanks

Bit pricey but liberty beauty gift with Purchase in on now - it’s normally very good

Boots £10 Tuesday is all no.7 today and it seems to be on 3 for 2 as well. Some things are already out of stock though

Suspect people are aware but John Lewis has its summer offers on still including 20% off some toys ( this includes some Lego but I often find amazon is still cheaper for Lego and the JL sets seem the very expensive ones!) and 15% odd selected beauty.

purplepandas they are adult one size 8-12. My daughter wears them, she usually wears age 11-12/12-13 in children's clothes or size 6-8 in adults. They are a bit long so she folds over the bottoms a few times. They are amazing quality, wash v well and for £6.99 including postage for 2 pairs you can't go wrong!

Well this feels very strange.....I’m walking round home bargains in summer clothing and the aisles are full of Christmas stuff!!!!!!🙈

@mummyof2boys30 look on smyths toys for a pogo stick. They have 2 sizes

I'm back again to ask about the milk frothers; would the ones that heat the milk be ok for a ten year old to use?

Someone let the girls have the colour change light bulbs already (not me!) so I need something else to take their place. They both like hot chocolate so thought maybe a frother and some fancy ish hot chocolate (to share) and their own personalised glass mugs might be nice.

I tried to order the lookfantastic boxes last night but by the time I’d messed around getting stuff for ds from sports direct (he’s had a growth spurt and while he has been ok in shorts and T-shirt’s and sliders over lockdown he’s just realised his trainers are 2 sizes small, ditto most of his sports and training kit 🙄 so was trying to take advantage of their sale) and found the right page they were sold out.

I also investigated the Bee Project jewellery mentioned earlier. As it was from the US I wondered if anyone did a similar necklace in the UK and found loads. The one I liked was a sunflower pendant that split to reveal a disc with a message on selling for about £12 on offer. Amazon, eBay and Etsy had a load that looked identical ranging from about £3 up to £100. Guessing some will be cheap copies, other much more real... if you were interested watch on the sites for sunflower sunshine necklace you’ll be able to choose the type and quality you want!

I had a fruitful evening with:
Look Fantastic boxes (can vouch for these- dd has the monthly subscription- initially came across them on this very thread two years ago)
Fluffy bedsocks from Sock shop
Bee things
Vitamasques
Coasters from can't even remember, dust and things?
And the Christmas cheeseboard people are getting me a postage quote for abroad.
Thanks to all for the links!
Today The Body Shop has arrived already and Buckley London is on its way!

If anyone like me is abroad and often misses stuff because of furrin postage, Whittards is free postage abroad today.

@TheSeedsOfADream can I ask what the sock shop offer was please?
@lucysmam regarding the lavazza milk frother, the milk isn’t boiling hot, but it’s hot. If I make my two year old a frothy hot milk then I always add a splash of cold milk to cool it a little.
