There are a couple of vegan things in there, and I have some vegan things saved from glossy box, so I will use them for stocking fillers for vegan family member.

The contents are...

Molton Brown shower gel
Elemis exfoliator
Elemis face wash
Madara Eye cream
Mio body serum
Ecooking serum.

The Mio and Ecooking products are very expensive, so it is good value, but I was hoping for makeup for DD.

Just wanted to say thank you for the brilliant ice cream cart and the puppets- after a year of maternity this thread is making all the difference for us

I would be very very happy if my mystery box was the same as that. Unbelievable value for a tenner. Mine are going to 3 different people so no biggie if they're the same. Wish I'd bought more to stash as future birthday pressies now.

These boxed bath bomb sets are £11.99 delivered with code N2BD3BY8

@BestofLuck thank you, I'll have a look at that one too!

@buckeejit and @Mamagotskills have already mentioned it this morning but Liberty have released their Gift with Purchase - Spend £175 on Beauty and get a selection of beauty stuff worth £300+ in a Liberty washbag. Which is £££ I know but!

5% with topcashback AND sign up to their Liberty Loyalty card (the link is under the Order Online right at the bottom) and NEWCUSTOMER10 gives you 10% off. Postage is £4.50

DM and DSIS love Diptyque candles which are £47 - so 10% off is pretty good going, I've then added in other smaller presents for friends and family (soaps and smaller candles) to get to £195 - then less 10% to get me above the £175 threshold. (with 5% topcashback)
I've then added a few extra smaller bits from their sale to spend a bit more and I will now have enough points for £10 in October with their loyalty card.

I've therefore managed all my female presents in one go, including stocking bits from the freebie. It's a big spend in one go - but at the very least the 5% top cashback and 10% for new customers is good!

Thanks to whoever posted the leapfrog Icecream cart, just ordered! Dd is only 7 months so might give it to her for her birthday instead.

Came on to post the ice cream cart but I see it’s already been posted. Posting again anyway as it’s such a bargain and a very well loved toy in our house.

That ice cream cart is an amazing price! My sis paid full price for DS bday back in the summer!

I am gutted as I have missed the 2 kids tshirts for a tenner on Zavvi. Also wouldnt let me use FLASH40 either, expired at 6pm apparently!

Did someone mention a character.com code? I'm after Ninja Turtle/Black Panther merch for my nephew. Please do let me know of any bargains!

Playmobil 123 ark is 11.50 amazon x

Thank you for the ice cream cart - Hubby has snapped that up for his GGD.

John Lewis have the 1000 piece Disney Maleficent jigsaw reduced to £9. It's normally around £14

The ice cream cart is a great toy. We bought one when they 1st came out about 4/5 years ago. It's still like new & hard wearing. It's now waiting for my newborn to use.

@Lockdownhairdontcare thanks for the hidden side bargain!

Poundtoy have 20% off everything with the code FLASH20 until midnight tonight

@Purpletigers the amazon weighted blanket arrives already in its washable cover. You have to look carefully for the zips but they are there!

I bought that ice cream cart yesterday at £35! Which to be fair is a good price but still... it’s not despatched yet but meant to be arriving tomorrow, does anyone know whether I will get charged the £35 or the £25??

You will be charged the £35 if they deliver it so I would cancel that order and order it again at £25.

@LiverbirdNo1 you will most likely get charged £35. However if it’s not despatched you could go into orders and cancel and then reorder?

Playmobil 123 ark back up, doh!

I’m like you @LiverbirdNo1 . Bought it last week feeling smug about the saving and am now kicking myself! Wondering if I could buy the cheaper option and then return the more expensive one?

Thank you luckiestgirl. I was hoping it was just me being a bit dumb .

@PissingKitten

Lego 21034 Architecture London Skyline Model 12+ reduced from £44.99 to £31.90 on Amazon.

This post was a couple of days ago now, but luckily the price hasn't changed... Another gift idea I'd had fell through, so snapped this up instead - thank you!

@Stripesgalore, thank you so much for the picture of what was in your beauty box!

Ordered one just now and the delivery to Ireland was only one pound, colour me impressed.

Popped into Home Bargains this evening and I got these. My teen dd loved them they are so soft and squishy and I remember that someone posted about her DD asking for the softest cuddly toy each year, so these may fit the bill. I got the small which were the bargain price of 99p and they had slightly larger ones for £1.99. Got them for my DCs stockings.

Cluedo Downtown Abbey is reduced to 9.99 on amazon atm.

Morphy ri hards soup maker £30 on amazon. MIL loves her and uses it several times a week. here
