My candle arrived tonight. Its lovely and packaged beautifully for a gift. I was going to keep it for myself but I think ill gift it now as its too pretty to waste.

Did anyone order the Festive Treats candle? Its less than £6 tonight, just wondering if it smells nice.

Anyone with teen girls Victorias Secret have 20% off everything for next hour only. Free delivery too!

Candles arrived - they look amazing and are huge (or at least the boxes are!), total bargain. I haven't even taken the cellophane off the boxes and I can still smell them. Need to work out who I can give them to...

I may have to stop ordering things for a while, DH is quickly moving from comic exasperation to actual fury each time the doorbell goes...

@DumplingsAndStew it isn't a waste to keep it for yourself. It's a little reward for doing all of the Christmas shopping!

@Puffalicious go for it! everyone needs one

That penguin candle is over £8 now so I’ll keep an eye out as it looks lovely!

Just caved and bought a candle. Wish I had got them earlier!

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight AW1540 for One Hundred Stars - but think it might end tonight as I saw it on an Insta person's competition which ends tonight too

Yay I finally have a bargin to post!

Real OODIES for £49 instead of £79 saving £30 with the code OODIE30

I got myself one & gave it to the hubby to give me for xmas 😂

@Furlougheddrinker Oh Noooo I just bought one for £54, they look so cute

Crocs have got a flash sale of 30% off certain products, plis they give an extra 10% with VIP10. Just until 10pm tonight i think.

@snowfairylover

nooo I'm so sorry! 😢

They do look pretty amazing though!!

@SlipASomethingUnderThe

Those unicorn kids fake oodies look so cute. What size did u get your little one? Was it the 100-127 or the 130-155? Looking to get one for my 3.5 year old 🥰

@luckiestgirl oh no I lost the thread but I still had the page open for one of the blankets which is £15.99 and it was recommended by someone on the thread who has it themselves. One of the things they were saying on the thread is that the weight of the blanket can’t be more than 10% of the person’s body weight so to take care especially if ordering for children.

@slipasomethingunderthe Thank you so much 💐

Those who have experienced both fake and real oodies are the genuine ones worth twice the money? Thanks
