Not my find, but someone has posted on FB that B&M have boxes of Lindt for £1

Another book one

Book Depository are good for new books (& are on topcashback) - they also do worldwide free post so good for sending to New Zealand etc (for those who have family overseas who we are now not going to get to see this year )

Also Lindt themselves (also on Topcashback) do their big range of balls as pick and mix online - if you can't bear to go to an outlet shop (scarred by my last MacArthur Glen experience) not as cheap as £1 fromB&m though!

@tabbycat985 thank you so much for the snail and the whale link, I saw it in WHSmith this morning but DD was playing up so didn't investigate and now I don't have to!
Lots of Ted Baker stuff in the clearance in our local Boots, body sprays for £1.75 good for stockings maybe

I don't really need them, but if anyone sees any bargainous Tegu blocks could they please give me a shout

Love the new thread name xxx

Thank you for the new thread Reastie

Amazon have chocolate fudge brownie kit chocolate fudge brownie kits for £3.50 at the moment, the cinnamon ones are back to full price for now. Free delivery with Prime.

My (local but small!) M&S had the clementine gin today but not the rhubarb one I wanted and the shortbread house I bought doesn't play any music! Good thing I checked before I posted it off as a Christmas present but it'll mean a trip back to M&S to swap it but at least I can check for the gin again

Sorry, fudge brownie kit link fail! Try here

B&M have got really lovely large red velvet sacks with initials on. Probably not too durable, but only £6! I'm now with 3DC and all their PJ's won't fit in one Christmas Eve box, I'm going to use them for that.

They only got put out a couple of days ago apparently and have been flying out of the door, so the till girl told me...

@Reastie follow up on stationary. Just got DD great sharpie fine liner pens in a snap tub for £2.50 in home bargains. £10/15 online elsewhere.

They also had nice notebooks, pens, post it notes etc all very well priced.

Would anyone have suggestions for books for a 7 year old boy for stocking fillers? He enjoys the likes of horrid Henry and captain underpants so looking for something humorous.

@Reastie me again 🤦🏻‍♀️. Now on Rex London and lots of stationary bargains too.

Just got an email from My First Years. 25% off nursery items. Might be good for lovely personalised items you may need to purchase! Code NURSERY25

Thanks for new thread! Local M&S all sold out of the gin. I don't even drink gin but think the bottles are SO pretty.

Speaking of chocolates, has anyone seen the limited edition Emma Bridgewater Roses tins in their local Tesco? I keep meaning to check mine!

They had the Emma Bridgewater Roses tins in my B&M last week.

I don't need that tin of Roses but it's in my Tesco shopping basket now so if you get your groceries delivered it's available!

@Lazysundayafternoons Have you got the Treehouse series books? They are very funny and my DD (6) loved them.
Sometimes they have them as a box set in The Works but not at the moment sadly. Here is one on amazon
www.amazon.co.uk/13-Storey-Treehouse-Books/dp/1447279786?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

@Lazysundayafternoons, @Onelittlepiglet I second the Storey Treehouse series if you haven’t already got it! Also Tom Gates series is good for that age.

@GirlWithTheYellowHat. I got one on the Home Bargains website. They kept going in and out of stock so worth keeping an eye on 👁!

Cinnamon bun kit available on Ocado for £2.25. I bought it a few weeks ago. This version is less “gifty” looking. My DS (12) made them and they were delicious but he said they were quite a faff!

Has anyone managed to ore order the new Xbox? I think the sites have crashed

@Onlyahalfbottle

I don't need that tin of Roses but it's in my Tesco shopping basket now so if you get your groceries delivered it's available!

Ahhh I can’t find it on the groceries app - only the normal one!

I managed to get the last bottle of rhubarb gin in m & s today! Very happy
