@Chocolatecake12 it's still showing as £3 for me, says it ends 08.09.

Have you put in the code - LOVEMAGNET?

Thanks for the magnet code. Just got 4 sets plus airmail to France for £16! Bargain!

Did anyone else order a mystery box from Hype? Bought 2 but only 1 has arrived and half the items are girls (in a boys box) I seem to remember the description had some disclaimer and not being about to exchange individual items. Balls.

@HoldingForGeneralHugs thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for!!

Love these threads - have lurked for a few years and have been so grateful not just for the bargains but the amazing suggestions too! So far I've bought the scarves and wrapping paper from Cox and Cox.

La redoute have good discounts on Converse for adults and kids - 25-30%:

Sainsburys online have some stuff on sale like candles, electrical products, towels etc not overly Christmassy but might be handy for a bargain

@FireflyGirl thank you! I had clicked on the offer for £3 for the magnets, uploaded my photos and then put in the extra offer that @boobybum had posted but that didn’t work. - then it was showing they were £11.99 and I couldn’t seem to change it back, so thank you! All ordered and looking forward to seeing them

@Someaddedsugar your welcome 😊 im glad i was able to help!

Can anyone recommend any sewing, knitting, cross stitch kits for children?
For a couple of 8 year olds and a 4 year old. budget around £10.

@Someaddedsugar If you have a TK Maxx near you, I went in yesterday and they had a boxed set of 3 bath bombs for £2.99, some sets were NASA and some were Jurassic. I bought some for my DS. You may find them in Home Sense too.

@Dolphintrainer thank you! I'll have a look in our local one this week!

Whoever recommended the Kukubird leggings - thank you!! What an absolutely bargain. Arrived quickly and they’re absolutely lovely. And £6.99 for two pairs delivered!!

@IngloriousBasterd what size are they? I am looking at the unicorn ones but they don't seem to have sizes as such....

@Redwinestillfine, scroll right down, there's a sizing chart

My Hype lucky dip order just arrived, quite pleased with it. It had a space backpack, black pencil case, green beanie hat, 2 pairs of shorts and 4 t-shirts, all in designs that my13 year old DS will wear.

Oh, just realised it should have had 10 items in it? I'm one short.

Look fantastic 30% off lots of stuff + 20% Quidco cashback, flash offer until 6pm.

Thank you for the magnet code - just ordered 4 sets which nicely finish off 4 different peoples presents! I am now 95% done with my Xmas shopping :)

@runningpink i bought my 5 year old first sewing kit by galt on amazon. It's for Christmas so haven't used it but has some good reviews its £10

Does anyone know if the Echo Dot was a one day offer? I can’t find it now, gutted I missed it!!

Thank you! Just ordered two pairs of much needed, bargainous Converse from La Redoute for dds. If you open a credit account you get an extra 10% off too with the code ‘PAYLATER’ even if you still decide to pay off the full amount.
Unfortunately I clicked back as I remembered something else I needed and it took the extra 10% discount away again , so just make sure you’re ready to checkout.

My PFF arrived from Lisa Angel today, sadly I ordered the wrong colour mittens to go with it 😩, the rest of the stuff is fab though, the mirror compacts are such good quality and bargain at 80p each.

@runningpink

The Works have a knitting kit on half price at £5 - plus they often do 2 for £10 offers on various kits. I've had crochet and needle felting kits from them before which make good presents

Otherwise Hobbycraft also have different craft kits (including the Galt one @LazyDaisy10 has mentioned - also £10 at the mo)

Both Hobbycraft and The Works are on Topcashback and if you are on Hobbycraft's mailing list you'll get discount emails (maybe a sign up offer too)

@LazyDaisy10 is it this one?
If so the 4 year old has already done some from this kit. Looking for something woth fabric rather than the foam this time round. Thanks for your suggestion though.

Not for everyone.
But my daughter has requested a blackhead remover vacuum for Christmas preferably with a camera. (This has a 5mp one)
I just found this one prime £26.99 but had a 50% off voucher too! Making it £13.49 delivered!
