Thick willy scarves Grin

Elskerdeg · 27/09/2020 16:19

So tempted by the fake oodie! Has anyone actually seen that Amazon one in person? I'm wondering if the cosyness is worth the ridiculous lookGrin

Anydreamwilldo12 · 27/09/2020 16:23

Oh my God, I'm dying here haha, wooly not willy. Not sure I would like a thick willy around my neck

sorryiasked · 27/09/2020 16:23

@Anydreamwilldo12 us it the scarves or the willies that are thick? 😁 (Asking for a friend obvs)

YourHandInMyHand · 27/09/2020 16:24

Is there such a thing as a toddler oodie? I'm liking the look of those fake ones but would like to try and get something similar for youngest.

Very rarely these days, that's probably as good as it gets.
Anydreamwilldo12 · 27/09/2020 16:26

I bought one of those fake Oodies last christmas, it was the JML make from Asda, had exactly the same picture as Amazon on the packaging. Its nowhere as thick as a real Oodie but my Son wore it a lot and is wearing it again since it's got colder.
I'm going to splash put and get him a real Oodie for Christmas as he has asked for one.

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/09/2020 16:27

Fake oodles for sil. Thanks

Thehollyandtheirony · 27/09/2020 16:28

@luckiestgirl try MISS20 for £20 off an £80 spend at BrandAlley. If you hadn’t planned on spending that much, I highly recommend the linen pjs from the Lazy Poet Wink

Thehollyandtheirony · 27/09/2020 16:32

@Allmyarseandpeggymartin Emma Bridgewater often do 10 letters free on personalised items. It happens multiple times per year. I was trying to weigh up the chances of seeing it again before Christmas... then I checked my emails and I had an order from the end of October last year with the offer.

BestofLuck · 27/09/2020 16:34

Oh dear that’s got me chuckling - thick willy scarves around our necks Grin

Thanks for the lovely ribbon recommendation.

scrappydappydoo · 27/09/2020 16:37

Baa I’ve been a sheep and brought a fake oodie

UselessInDisguise · 27/09/2020 16:40

Might treat my dh to one of those! Grin
Notlongnow1 · 27/09/2020 16:43

Freezing and now have ridiculous fake oodies on order.

I will resist the willy scarf - not sure where I'd wear it Wink

blueberryblue · 27/09/2020 16:44

I ordered from Boden this aft and they gave me referral links for £20 for a friend and something off for me too.

Have added it to referral thread. Posting here to let you know.

(Have name changed for this as referral link gives my name.)

dementedma · 27/09/2020 16:47

Nice wee stocking filler in B and M today. Set of 4 coffee syrups for £3.99.
DD2 will enjoy those.

TheDrsDocMartens · 27/09/2020 16:56

Seen the ‘about item’ on those fake oodies ?
