Very happy with the uno flip!

[quote Lockdownhairdontcare]@22Giraffes I used them for Disney cards against humanity, arrived in pristine condition within a week.[/quote]

@gingerbeerandlemonade Have you thought about a coffee subscription?
I got a perkyblenders.com one as a birthday gift & it was lovely & like a surprise in the mail every month!

[nocutsnobuttsnococonuts]

Has anyone got any recommendations on a bargain magazine subscription for my dd (8). Shes a very reluctant reader, so hoping to find something engaging for her. She's into dolls (lol, barbie anything!), fashion (she loves clothes and shoes!), and animals. She watches animal documentaries on Netflix alot!!

Ideally a weekly and a bargain!!

[22Giraffes]

Glad everyone is enjoying the UNO spot, it's such a good game for all ages. Love the dad joke

[NaturalBlondeYeahRight]

All I keep finding on these threads are things that I would like for myself at the moment 😀 or little kids stuff and I don’t have any small children in the family at the moment.
Just got the pub guide (for me) thanks for that

[DumplingsAndStew]

Saw this on Amazon deals and thought it could be decent for a teenager stocking. Good reviews

[GirlWithTheYellowHat]

Got my bargain socks today!

Hoping we'll get a pact type coffee offer. I had no need for it last year but I do this year!

[DumplingsAndStew]

Sorry trying again

[DumplingsAndStew]

Argh. Why is it changing the link I post?

[TheSeedsOfADream]

@elsielegallez, thank you! DD loved the HG and I don't think she knows about the prequel so have ordered it.
@gingerbeerandlemonade, I've just received my Whittards coffee selection pack (ordered with code from an earlier thread and it's lovely, 9 small boxes of fancy coffees) Or a subscription? I'm thinking of treating myself to one of those!

[Tamtam86]

Thank you for the Sylvanian families tip! I've ordered one for DD, she will love it!

Not sure if this one has been mentioned but code REVEAL on lookfantastic.com gives a "mystery discount". I used it and it was 20% off

[GirlWithTheYellowHat]

@TheSeedsOfADream what was the Whittards's code, has it stopped now?

[InDreamland]

Thanks for the heads up on free p+p at WHSmith and the 10% off code. Got the Nadiya Hussain Family Favourites cook book for £6.30 and a new roll of sellotape for wrapping all these presents I've bought, mainly through the tips on savings from these threads.

[Duckyneedsaclean]

With the Radio Times £1 offer - if anyone has done before was it easy to cancel?

[Jfw82]

Not a deal exactly but excellent humbugs, flavoured candy canes, sweet drinks stirred- all stock at least 6 month shelf life so good for Christmas

Did their gin drinks stirrers for a friend and got a great review!

[recklessgran]

@princessbear80 I can vouch for the half price Sharpie pens. Big box reduced from £19.99 to £9.99 but end up at £8.99 delivered using code SUPER10 and free p=p

[mummyof2boys30]

Another happy person with the uno flip. Stocking filler for ds

[peasando]

@tabbycat985 thank you for the perky blenders idea - great idea for v difficult to buy for DH who has developed a coffee obsession during lockdown!

Those who have bought the Disney Cards against Humanity - do you have to be really into Disney for it to work? I'm really tempted to get it for DSis (a 36 year old HUGE disney fan) but her DP is not that excessively into Disney so might be a bit lost if she tries to play it with him?

[recklessgran]

If anyone is interested I have a code for 25% off for stackers jewellery boxes. PM me if you would like it.

[quote GirlWithTheYellowHat]@TheSeedsOfADream what was the Whittards's code, has it stopped now? [/quote]
Hello lovely! (Remembering babygirlwiththeyellowhat!) The code was EXPLORECOFFEE and if you spend £60 (I got coffee selection pack, hot chocolate boxes for gifts etc) you get a free coffee caddy, chocolate coffee beans and a full sized bag of coffee.

[margaritasbythesea]

TheSeedsOfADream - I lived in Spain until recently, so understand your joy perfectly!

Thanks for the new thread.

For the poster looking for something from WH Smith for arty nephews I noticed they had Faber Castell aquarelle pencils. They're good.

[Bluewavescrashing]

For £12 delivered at WHSmith I've bought

A paperback for DD
2 packs of artist grade paintbrushes
A really nice pencil case
A craft knife and mat

Thanks for the heads up!

[TheSeedsOfADream]

(which will make another coffee present!)
