@Methenyouplus4 not sure how deep the dishes are but Sophia Victoria Joy do personalised enamel dishes in different sizes for a metal option?? We have the snack bowls and they are nice

@BicycleMadeForTwo we all have Sho bottles here and they're great.

At the moment they are offering 50% off to keyworkers

@BicycleMadeForTwo

I want to get my nephews/nieces some water bottles for Christmas. They’re 12-17 years old so what brand would be ‘cool’ to buy them? Chillys, Super Sparrow, Hype? Anyone in the know about what’s cool these days?!

sorry don’t know re best ones to get but they have chillys in tkmaxx at £12.99

Another recommendation from me for the IKEA glass dishes, they’re brilliant.

Amazon have got the toot toot pirate ship for £17.99 (from £29.99). This price matches the Argos clearance, and Amazon actually have it in stock! According to CCC, it was previously £16.99 in April 2019, but hasn't been that low since and average price is nearly £28. Comes with 3 characters and an octopus 🐙

For the lasagna trays - tk maxx also often do Le Creuset ones!

Thanks @nc600 and @purplediva Will check out the Sho bottles and TKMaxx for any bargains.

@Dreamingofwalden it was me who posted the sale I think I haven't had my order yet but know tends to take couple weeks from previous orders shame you didnt get an email apology if out of stock then refund.

I use a few indies for scandi personally I love little footprint

Buckley London now 60% off sale items. Lots of earring stud sets etc now about £13. Rings, bracelets etc. I remember getting a fair bit from them last year and am probably about to do the same!

@Dreamingofwalden

Did anyone else make any purchases from Tia Rose Treasures? I bought a T-shirt for my son but this week had a refund without an email etc. I can’t find reviews on Trust Pilot though their FB page looks active. I think I’ll stick to my trusted indies for Scandi.

I've ordered from them in past and it's been fine :(

Rockhopper81 thanks for posting the great deal on the Lego friends set, I ordered that and some great little stocking fillers for my DD

@IggyAce thank you! DS2 has developed a Ninjago obsession and will be delighted (as am I with the price...even DH, usually sceptical of my early Xmas buying, was chuffed!).

Thank you! I've ordered one for my DTs and another for a friend's DS

@DelurkingAJ happy to help DS has loved ninjago for the last few years so we’ve brought lots of the Lego sets. Dh was happy to pay upto £90 so was chuffed with the price.

There is an escape room book which might be nice for teens for £4 at amazon

A nice looking RHS book on growing vegetables which would be good for a hamper or something for £8.50 here

@eastmidswarwicknightnanny Little Footprint are great. I think my fave is The Thrifty Stork - she does great mystery boxes.

Beaubaba are also a lovely indie. Agree with Thrifty Stork too.

Anyone know what happened to the John Lewis code? I had added the myhome code and it worked but forgot to check out, then it changed to myhome10 and now I can't make it work but I thought it was valid until 31st.
I also have a code for 20%off uniform which also doesn't work

John Lewis have a toy sale. 25% off selected Sylvanian Families Sylvanian Sale and 20% off selected lego. I know some others were on the look out like I am.

@Lockdownlumpy I thought it changed to MYHOME1 not 10 so maybe try that?

@wornoutboots you’ve made me blush with that one. Very good reviews though...

Can remember who posted the Mac lip kit at ASOS (after that diversion) shame the nude one has sold out or I would have been tempted for myself.

Geomag classic 50 piece set offer on Amazon

@CosmicVagina, thanks for this, got my son a few bits from here over the years. The wrapping is gorgeous. Not sure there will be anything else I can get him but worth a look.

Thanks for some great kitchen ideas! Might have to look around as didn’t realise there was so much choice. Really love the rainbow coloured one too, my house seems to be draining itself of vibrancy and colour now the kids are getting bigger. Luckily no3 will put all my Disney back in

Methenyouplus4 home bargains had Pyrex lasagne dishes a few weeks and tesco seem to have the Pyrex ones half price quite often too.
