@GarlicSoup alas my searching didn’t go that far! I was just curious as it smelled nice and didn’t make my skin itch like some perfumes hand creams! Good to know it’s far cheaper else where though, no danger would I pay that for a hand cream unless it came with a personal hand masseuse

Could someone link me to the fridge magnet offer please or point me in the direction of 🤞🏻

If anyone comes across any deals in Barbie Aeroplanes, would you give me a shout please? DSD has just asked for one, and they seem crazy expensive for what they are!

@ZeldaSmelda magnets offer

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts I've also been very disappointed with hype.

I placed an order in Aug (only for a pencil case but needed for school) and still no sign of it. No reply from my email to customer services (no option to phone them).

Lots of people complaining on instagram about non-delivery/receiving the wrong items and they keep deleting all the comments & not replying to messages. I wouldn't order from them again either (I'd only ordered once before and they sent the wrong item)

@littlelightshining

Excited to join in, feeling way behind if we're on thread 4 already! Getting involved with Cox and Cox offer, just deciding which lovely Christmas item to invest in!

Looking for offers on kindles. My daughter has asked for one, just want one for reading without any of the bells and whistles of watching films or playing games. Any idea if the kids or adults one is better? she's 10 and reads 2-3 books a week!

Get the adults one -and wait until it is reduced. Black Friday or other.

@Restlessinthenorth probably no help but the barbie helicopter is only £20 if your dd could be persuaded that it's a much cooler way to travel?!

@sorryiasked great idea! I'll test the waters....

Kukubirds needs to do kids leggings. Dd3 would love them.

Amazon seem to have at least £5 off most of the Lego Marvel sets, and some with bigger reductions.

Can't remember who was asking about Chilly's water bottles, but TK Maxx is worth a try.

@Restlessinthenorth
The barbie plane was on offer last week. I got one for DDs birthday next week. Might be worth setting a CCC alert in case it drops again.

Half price art supplies at hobbycraft

I ordered the Barbie helicopter and it does look good!

Dd has the ambulance so thought it be a nice addition for £19

Sorry to be a pain but what is the look fantastic offer

There are a few Lego deals on amazon. I put Lego into the search and scrolled through. There were a couple of Lego friends with money off and Lego architecture sets for the teens.

I can buy the peppa pig wooden house from a friend for 35 pounds. Dd2 wishes it for her birthday in November but I'm a bit concerned about the play value? Anybody that has it and can recommend it?

24% off at dibor for 24 hours with the code 24for24, only works on full priced items.

Anyone got any discount codes for ecookshop?

@Redwinestillfine they’re one size apparently but they look like the perfect fit for DD - wears size 6-8 / age 14. I think they’re meant to be up to size 12 but that might be pushing it! I’d say size 10 max.

Melissa and Doug Puppets back down to £4.99 :) amzn.to/3i6HpPD

Now I’ve caught up with the thread I see size 12 is fine too I have literally just held them up to gauge size so @nocutsnobuttsnococonuts would know much more than I do!

If anyone is after retro movie t-shirts, pyjamas etc for adults the website truffle shuffle have 20% off orders over £35 got today only with code SAVE20.

I've never ordered from them before but have my eye on some of their stuff.

I had been asking about the water bottles but ending up buying SHO ones from the recommendations and they look great - thanks for the heads up on the key worker discount too!

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts it was me with the Hype order.

Out of a boys order I have 3 clothing items labelled "Girls", one mint green purse I would consider a girls item and a hot pink/purple backpack.

Also ordered a girls one which hasn't arrived at all. Delivery emails don't state that only half the order was shipped so I'm concerned they will claim the whole order was sent.

No chilly’s bottles on TKMaxx .
That was my first thought .
Quite tempted to get it from Boots with my advantage points but I think I will hold on for a while .
Not bargainous at all but the Chiily’s site has ability to have it engraved and add lid of your own colour choice and a carabiner of any colour .
But it adds to the price !
