Almost done now Smile

Oh fab!! I ordered 2 hampers Grin

And I knew it was aching!!!

I8toys · 27/09/2020 12:59

I ordered two M&S hampers - I am doubting they will honour it and they will probably cancel nearer dispatch date.

JinglesWish · 27/09/2020 13:00

Bun kit just arrived. Beautifully presented and a nice weight to it. Would make a nice present. Use by date is November 2021

Ive just bought a 'ski lodge' candle! Liked that design best! Going to keep an eye on thereed diffusers in case they come down too! (I didn't need a candle but have succumbed to peer pressure Grin)

M&S food at The Springs in Leeds have the pretty gins in, both flavours.

Just went a bit mad on JL Lego. Really good value with the code. Managed to get 7 presents for £80, all good lego/duplo sets

Friedbanana · 27/09/2020 13:12

Glad so many people got the gins with the pasta! I got mine delivered today as I was out yesterday and they’d obviously run out of gin so I got 2 92ml bottles of expression martini! DP disappointed as he deff prefers gin but I’m quite excited to try it! But yes, just thought I’d warn anyone else getting it delivered today expecting the gin!!

Wiifitmama · 27/09/2020 13:14

I ordered the M and S gin, prosecco, nuts hamper and had a despatch notice yesterday that it will arrive (with some other bits and pieces I ordered) on Tuesday. The email shows the full hamper and the price I paid of £18. So it looks like they honoured it. Will see when it actually arrives!

JinglesWish · 27/09/2020 13:14

Thanks so much to the PP who mentioned the Paperchase member special of 50% off sale prices in store. Just picked up £123 worth of presents for £27!! Such a great deal

everythingisginandroses · 27/09/2020 13:16

@JinglesWish - I got one of those from Costco, agree that it looks really good and substantial. I'm looking forward to some palm oil-free cinnamon buns!

myhobbyisouting · 27/09/2020 13:20

My pasta is coming tomorrow - wish I'd ordered for yesterday! Can't stand martini Grin

I8toys · 27/09/2020 13:21

That's odd Wiifitmama as they say for delivery from 3rd November on the website and my order says delivery by 5th November so I didn't think they were available now - just a preorder.

Wiifitmama · 27/09/2020 13:23

You are correct! I have just gone back and looked at the email again and it has "despatched" next to all the items except the hamper which has "order created". Bummer!

I8toys · 27/09/2020 13:23

Sorry!

Sunshineskies · 27/09/2020 13:24

@luckiestgirl there was a thread on chat yesterday about weighted blankets and lots of posters had linked to their own blankets. There were blankets for a wide variety of budgets (there was one for around £12 iirc which is the cheapest I've seen). Useful info on what weight to get and how to use too. I'm on my laptop and don't have my phone with me atm but if you can't find the thread and are interested I'll post a link to it later when I have my phone as I'm pretty sure I still have the page open on there.

livingthegoodlife · 27/09/2020 13:28

I bought the m&s gin today! So beautiful.

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/09/2020 13:37

@CosmicVagina thanks x

sorryiasked · 27/09/2020 13:47

steph2412 · 27/09/2020 13:58

Sorry I've missed the candle offer please could someone enlighten me xx

torthecatlady · 27/09/2020 14:08

@Puffalicious If we had her money we could afford to buy proper oodies! Grin

UselessInDisguise · 27/09/2020 14:16

Has anyone managed to get free delivery from hamleys?

Carrie76 · 27/09/2020 14:23

I can’t get the JL lego code to work ☹️

Twilightstarbright · 27/09/2020 14:25

Please can someone give me the link for the m&s gin fizz gift set?

Twilightstarbright · 27/09/2020 14:26

My contribution to the thread is I'm happy to give a student discount if needed, just tag me or pm me Smile

superstar84 · 27/09/2020 14:30
