Just leaving this here .x

Very location specific (sorry) but Argos in Tottenham Court Rd and also Kilburn both have the Toot Toot Mermaid Land Playset for £17.99 down from £45! Might be worth checking other locations as a few seem to be randomly floating about.

Toot Toot Mermaid Land Playset

Just to add to my above post, stock showing in Bristol, Romford and Walthamstow, just found these by trying different postcodes so there is definitely stock about (most unusual for Argos )

@LatteLover12

Just had an email from the Dunedin scarf people to say some of my order is on its way. Has anyone had their full order delivered?

Mine arrived today and I had the full order.

I also managed to get the ladies elle boxed slipper socks for buy two get two free amazing thanks

I'm probably being silly but I can't find the mallow hot chocolate toppers anywhere on Amazon. Please can someone help me?

Try here

toppers

@dollypartonscoat that is exactly the kind of thing. Anyone know where I could get a similar spidery deal?

Spicery not spidery 🙈

Peacocks have an in store sale which includes Christmas stocking fillers plus pyjamas. I bought ds9 a Christmas themed onesie for a fiver down from £12

Just to say that I went to the Asda sale yesterday and there are lots of offers that are not online so it is well worth a trip. They had huge paw patrol and Peppa pig teddies for £15

@gingerbeerandlemonade I shared my referral code for the Spicery on the referral thread it’s 10% off & I get £5. Recommend you wait as I brought my dh the how to be a curry legend kit last year around the end of October after a recommendation on this thread, they had reduced the price and with discount it was just over £20. Have to say it was the best present ever, he loves it and wrk cook a curry from the book at least once a week.

To add to @22Giraffes list Redcar have the toot toot mermaids in

Thanks for the sock shop link, difficult to buy for dad now has some rather (non bargainous) cashmere socks coming his way... he lives abroad so need something easy to post and always complaining of cold feet in winter.
I added some of the cosy socks and they appeared to be on a BOGOF with a different size too... Nearly £100 on socks this morning but at least the shopping had started!

@IggyAce thanks for that. Will definitely take a look.

If anyone wants a free simplycook box with free delivery- I've commented on referrals thread. Just PM me and I will give you code.

Down to £8 great stocking filler for a Harry Potter fan.

Thanks so much for the Sock shop tip. Got 2 sets for DD for £5.63 inc delivery! That’s a great bargain x

Hotel Chocolat have a small end of season sale on a couple of their gift packs. Seems theres no way to avoid delivery costs but maybe still worth it for chocolate lovers.

@Sneezein3s thanks for the sock shop tip! I got a couple of wee bargains for stockings and for keeping my tootsies warm on the postnatal ward when the time comes!

There are some hardback Lego harry potter and star wars books on Amazon that seem to go down to £10 regularly. Would make a nice gift to accompany anyone getting Lego sets?

Some really good bargains on Brand Alley at the moment!

I want to recommend this chunky puzzle. Its a big size and really chunky/sturdy. I got it last year for my DS's first xmas/bday (3rd Jan birthday) and I reckon he's played with it every day of the year so far!

I've tried the sock shop page and not got it to work. Is there any particular socks you need to add to get the offer. The socks look lovely so I now really need them but need it as a bargain too! Thanks

Thanks for the sock shop deal! I got socks for everyone!

@ZIGGY911 it’s the Elle ones, it worked on the cosy ones and the slipper socks

What's the code for the socks please?

Is brand alley legit? I see loads of lovely stuff on there in targeted fb ads but have never bought as I’m worried about quality!
