Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.

Not Christmas related but if anyone is looking for waterproof trousers for school run, walks etc Regatta ebay store have some for just over a tenner. Didn't qualify for pocket20 deal but they are half price reduced from £22.something and free postage.

Being nosey but what have you all ordered from c&c? The p&p is £5.95 right?

The website is being glitchy for me

For those who did the look fantastic box offer and got the pink box- the hand cream in it retails for £92!!!

I ordered a wreath and some wooden star shaped gift tags.

Haven’t scrolled back to see if already mentioned, but menkind have released their advent calendars, look like a good selection if you’re after something different

So it does!! I've just slathered £10 worth of hand cream on me

@SpnBaby1967 high recommend mrs snowballs bubble boutique for bath bombs, my son loved the shark one, she also does game controller ones, cauldrons, bricks mermaids tales. They are cheaper than the likes of lush and better too.

I bought ds (11) the cheapest adult kindle for Christmas last year. It is now back lit (when I got mine I had to get a paperwhite as the cheapest one didn't used to have lights). It is still going really strong. I did buy a case for it too.

This looks good for stocking fillers

Has anyone got a link for Chilly’s bottles ? My 22yr old nephew would like one for Christmas . He hasn’t specified a make but I like to ‘ up-grade’ for presents when I can .
Preferably a dark colour .

Actually just tried a few things and they are out of stock in the sale

Did I imagine that there was a code for Busy B? I'm sure I saw one but can't find it!

Claire’s has a lot of stock reduced by 40%. You also get an extra 20% off if you sign up for emails. Also free delivery on £20 spend. Great for stocking fillers.

Chillys bottles are often in TKMaxx but not sure about dark colours.

Not exactly bargainous but Boots do a black matte Chilly's bottle for £20. If you have enough advantage points you can pay with points. I got one for teenage DS last year and it's still in perfect condition despite some rough treatment using it for football practice 🤦🏻‍♀️

Alternatively SHO do very similar bottles at similar prices and they have had a deal lately where keyworkers get 50% discount.

But sells on eBay for a fiver.

Just ordered 2 star iron stocking holders from cox and cox £15 delivered after discount

I’ve added a £20 referral discount on the referral thread

Not a bargain per se, but at £3.50 I thought these quirky soaps might be a covid-appropriate stocking filler for the literary minded

Studios Christmas Catalogue arrived this morning, and I was so excited looking through it!
Some absolute beautiful decorations and gifts in it, actual brought some much needed joy in my household today!

Dust and things- bought a wooden chopping board after recommendation on here- very unimpressed. The writing/ carved indentation is so rough it looks awful and would be unhygienic to use. It was for my mum from my kids, so I think it would just be displayed, but still.

Going to contact customer services, I'll report back as, unless I get a positive response, I certainly wouldn't recommend.

@Methenyouplus4 I was really impressed with my cheeseboard. So much so I ordered another one.

I cant remember the posters name but I also have had a problem with the hype mystery bags, boys items, missing item and free gifts they do in ours. First person said exchange for credit note only but I'm pursuing a full refund, its not as advertised. Will never purchase another again. In fact as much as I love their backpacks, the customer service has put me off them and will no longer recommend or buy any further products from them.
For the person who asked i bought a girls 7-8 mystery bag I recieved
2 boys items,
A plain black pair of jogging bottoms,
Plain black pencil case,
Plain black bottle (open unsealed!),
Brown backpack,
Black zipped hoody,
Plain kharki tshirt with hype on front. Not worth the £49.99 I paid let alone the rrp they advertised.
My advice buy in their sales and avoid the mystery as it seems like all the rubbish they couldn't sell.

Oh and I'm glad a few of you have enjoyed the kukubird leggings!! Ive just placed another order, my daughter has quite a list she wants now 😂
Ive posted my referral link in the referrals thread for £5 off a £25 spend. Works on sale and mystery boxes (which are AMAZING value!) Just for disclosure I get £5 off a £25 spend if its used!

For those asking on sizing my daughter whos a 6-8 wears them and me at a 12, we are both v comfortable and they are not see through or too tight/loose.

Ps the pjs are also awesome, v comfy!!
