Here’s Barbarara’s instructions from last year on doing clicky links:

Open double square brackets
No space
Paste link
Space
Name of link
No space
Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.
If I do it again without the extra spaces only the word bargain will appear in blue

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts that's great, did post the offer but you must have missed it. Happy shopping

@Sneezein3s

I’ve just got a good bargain at sock shop 8 pairs of kids Elle cosy socks for £8.77 delivered! I added set of each colour for £3.50 for two pairs and when I went to my basket one set was showing as £0.00. I added two more sets and a promo code AFF10 and managed to get two sets of each! Here’s what I ordered. Hope it helps someone else

Here is the offer

Not exactly cheap but Brora website has a clearance section with some nice wool and cashmere - gloves and wrist warmers for decent prices and I got a mohair lace jumper for £49 down from £149. It arrived today and is beautiful (although size up, I'm a big 10 and ordered the 12-14 size as I wanted it slouchy but it really isn't).

@allatonce99

They also have a ]] for £9.60

I can recommend this. Really good set!

Pet puppets back on

@allatonce99

They also have a ]] for £9.60

I got this exact same kit from Toy Street for £7.29 and it’s a really good size. My 5yr old was thrilled with it for his birthday and it would be a great gift to go under the tree.

Melissa and Doug spy kit

Lots of other toys on Toy Street at really good prices. I found Scooby Doo Playmobil and a Power Ranger morpher thing cheaper than Amazon. They do 5% off 5 or more purchases and delivery was v quick.

@ittybittylivingspace do you have a link? It says currently unavailable for me 😫

@dollypartonscoat just checked and yeah it's out of stock again! Was def available 5 mins ago- it said it was in stock on 27 sept but let me add to my basket

Damn

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts I got the rainbow boppi for £15 in the Entertainer last week, it’s £20 on the website but in the store was £15, possibly a one off error but may be worth a look

@22Giraffes and AFF10 takes a further 10% off

Just caught up onnl a few pages. Just adding to some more frequent requests:

B&m have a flask/thermos gift set for something like £8

Boots have xmas hand sanitiser in the 3 for 2 offers in 3 different scents. Stock doesn't appear to be in yet for a lot of stuff but worth keeping an eye out for - the hand sanitisers seem to match up to other stuff in a scent range I think candles, handcream, toiletry stuff x

Some nice Harry Potter 3D puzzles on toy street. I posted the diagonal alley ones on another thread but there’s a particularly bargainous Gringotts reduced from £27 to £6.49

HBMSE25 gives 25% off Holland & Barrett including already discounted things. There's not much but there are some soaps, oils, body wash etc in 25% off, 33% off and half price. Plus various buy one get one half price vitamins etc.
I got some body washes and soaps for dd's stocking.
It's the Martin Lewis code, H&B itself has a 20% code but this one gives 25% and free delivery.

An M&S ad turned up on my Facebook feed to say they are doing Christmas gin in a snow globe bottle that lights up. Clemintine or rhubarb flavours. Didn’t see a price but guessing it’s not cheap but might get lucky with it being on offer for a week or two. Looks like one of those things that Marks do that will turn up in every Christmas supplement!

Cherryrainbow - thankyou for thermos idea

WH Smith are doing free delivery, no minimum spend, until midnight Wednesday. There are a few nice stationery bits and decent books in the sale.

I never have anything to add, but I was waiting for this lego buger on fire set price to drop and finally got it for 16 on amazon www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FNMXFPZ?tag=camelanonalerts-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_GB

This day will be known as the day that “The Christmas crowd lost their Puppet sh**”

No more puppets. Please!

Can anyone please recommend some science experiment sets for my almost 8 year old. We have had most of the galt ones.

I found 28 sharpies for £10 on the WH Smith website and as @starlingsintheslipstream said, it's free delivery. I'm not often in shops so free delivery is a no brainer for me!

That was a fail clicky link, i will try again [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B081D69Y97/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_XSuyFb95SXN01]

3rd time lucky www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B081D69Y97/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_XSuyFb95SXN01 if it doesn't work, i give up

Thank you very much for the Christmas book recommendations, some great suggestions and have some nice new additions to our Christmas story times on their way
