@Sausagis this one from Sainsbury’s/Argos is lovely

ClaraLane - that’s my problem too! I can see them on the main Tesco site but not when I try and add them to my upcoming delivery
Will try B&M and Tesco in store...

@girlsyearapart my dd got some pretty little pjs from primark and I’m sure I spotted various gift sets with various movie quotes in B&M.

@Asj0405 the tote bag was perfect and I found some more good stuff then it was £25 postage 😳

@Lazysundayafternoons - my near 7 year old and 9 year old Ds's like Roald Dahl rotten rhymes and then there's his other books if you don't already have them

@DaisyChops oh bless you, mine arrived by post but the box wasn't in a pristine state. Still a 3 year old won't mind and for the price, I cannot moan. If it's of any help, if you haven't got a very account with their £30 off for new account holders, there is a different version of a gift set. It would cost 29.99 after the money off so a another £4 but worth it.

@girlsyearapart sorry I didn't realise that! Maybe try primark as iggyace suggested

@Justyou

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

Have you tried Argos? We ordered one this morning.

@Lazysundayafternoons DS 5 loves the David Williams books and the Nothing to See Here Hotel series, which are £7.98 for the three book set on Lowplex. The fourth one has just come out as well.

Some Autumn offers on at ProCook also with a free posh knife when you spend over £60.

@Sausagis

Has anyone seen any good Harry Potter metal water bottles, online? Amazon has a lovely Hedwig one but it's plastic, and their metal ones are pretty naff.

Typo have them now and again but sadly don't seem to at the moment! This looks quite nice www.vanillaunderground.com/products/harry-potter-hedwig-letter-owl-600ml-drinks-bottle-white?gclid=CjwKCAjwwab7BRBAEiwAapqpTEImIDTOIwIG245JvkNHhpn5cYNUt_AH1ZoWVngPC_u5EZ90YmrcUxoC1hAQAvD_BwE

I'm putting together my first order with Lisa Angel, they've got some beautiful bits on their website. Anyone know of any discount codes/special offers available?

@bookwormbeagle I'm sure they'll have a sale end of October/early November so would definitely hold off if you can!

@Lazysundayafternoons

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.

How about Mr Gum books if they haven’t already been mentioned

@Sausagis Sainsbury’s have that bottle in store half price tonight.

@Lockdownhairdontcare Amazon normally have ghd straighteners on the black Friday or cyber Monday. Cloud nine straighteners are also meant it be good but I personally have never tried them.

I'm looking for a lap tray if anyone knows where to get one please?! It's for me to eat my tea on my knee I've tried home bargains and b&m but can't find any. Doesn't have to be fancy, a basic plastic tray will be great. I was looking for one with the bean bag attached or fold down legs but can't find.
Thanks all!

Someone is trying to resell the M&S gin on eBay for £44.95

@girlsyearapart they were books first- would she enjoy reading them?

@Pinkdaydreams - you might try a garden centre? Our local one sells map trays.

@WhereTheresAHill the last two years they’ve done 20% off for the “white weekend” over Black Friday and the following weekend. It’s in store and online- it’s when I always get my DM’s Christmas present!

@gingerbeerandlemonade I have seen the books too- I’ll have to ask my sister if she’s read them or not

@Love51 thanks, I hadn't thought to check charity shops, I will do now! My friend has the high score now on her dd's & I can imagine it being quite addictive to beat your own/the high score
