Just been to look at the Sienna fake oodie on amazon - and spotted in the ‘people buy these three things together’ bit - a kids fake black oodie but with Fortnite written across the front.

Haven’t got one to know quality but as it’s for kids rather than an adults one that you’d want to last a long time, it might do double present duty both as a fortnite present and a cosy present!

Fortnite fake oodie

For anyone looking for ideas for teen girls jackpot candles are all the rage at the moment, this shop does candles and bath bombs. Each one has a piece of jewellery hidden inside. They are quite pricey but a lovely gift if your struggling for ideas.

Ok, have made a Penhaligons order.
Been playing around, and have exactly £200 of stuff for £61 delivered and 4 samples which you'd pay a fiver each for on eBay for a dedicated perfumista.

You have to spend £60 to get the free candle code to work. PENCANDLEGIFT
The candle you get is called An Amble in the Orchard. It's already in the sale stuff at £12 from £32. I had already put that in my basket as it was in the sale and we're csndleholics here then spotted it says something like "employees only" on the full desktop site. You can still buy it, but the "employees only" obviously means it's the free gift one I suppose.

Added a body cream tester Artemisia £14 from £40

9 lip balms down to £3 from £12 each

A perfume sample discovery set which I've always wanted to try £20 (not reduced)

= £61
Added 4 free samples (don't forget these)
Added free gift box (just because free)

Oh, once I spotted the Orchard candle was the freebie I removed it from the basket to take me down to £61 and to have just one not two.

@wibdib I had the fortnite hoodie in my basket. The reviews say that the furry fleece is only in the hood and not throughout the entire hoodie. May not matter to everyone but it put me off.

@Carrotcakeforbreakfast I'd also love some info on your stock too please! I adore bath and body works.

Penhaligons is so strange. I can’t find the lip balms or body creme at all. Weird site

One of the perfumes they still have at £29 is Lily of the Valley. It's similar to Diorissimo if anyone knows it. A good one maybe for grans and aunts. (though DD loves it, and she's 16)

Definitely second the pokemon encyclopedias for any pokemon fan also there are little bags with hundreds of pokemon available on ebay they are only small and some look better than others but ds loved them in his advent calendar and stocking

@Londonborncatty oh no that’s a shame - must admit I didn’t rad it that thoroughly, saw it whilst looking at the adult ones and remembering that list folk had been asking about kids sizes and Fortnite stuff thought it deserved a mention. Photo definitely didn’t make it clear that the inside lining was just for the hood which is naughty! Thanks for pointing it out.

@Emma10702 thanks for the Penhaligon's - got some bits for me & gifts of shower gel & body lotion-amble was the only candle & ive ordered 2 of those but the welcome code brought it down from £70 to £50.

Put unboxed in the search & sort by price -you should find the lip balms. Now to find some other bits on amazon. Might be another shearer candle

Liz Earle flash sale - 20% off everything and free delivery until midnight :)

Ah yes I can see them now
@snowfairylover I just ordered some yesterday for mum mums birthday! How annoying.

You also get to the balms by searching "sale" and putting the 181 items (most of which are not in the sale obviously) into ascending price order. The first 6 items are more expensive than the balms (obviously) Whatever you do, don't try and find lip balms under lip balms. Obviously

Hi. Thanks for all the posts on here, I am more organised than I ever have been.
Re Oodie types, I've ordered these off Wowcher. They work out at £17.99 with delivery.

Won't let me add photo. Sorry

Try again.

Now everyone knows my name and address I'll start again... oops!!

My previous message without the personal details said:

@Isadora2007 Thank you for the Oodie link :)

@myhobbyisouting There are loads of products but on that page it only has a few but I think when you're on that particular page the search bar at the top says 'search Amazon storefronts' and you can search for stuff. Also I THINK when you click on an item at the bottom of the description it has a banner that tells you about the £10 back meaning it's an eligible item. I haven't tried it yet but may purchase something shortly and I'll feed back!

I have since brought this: Space tent/house for £13.99 then had an email from Amazon telling me to claim the £10 back.

If the item has the £10 back advert at the bottom of the description I believe it is eligible.

Hopefully no personal details in this one

Inastatus ArthurChristmas2 I cancelled the order too- just gone onto my Amazon account and the order isn't showing at all, no history, no nothing. Do you think that means it's cancelled? I had ordered 10 so I'm a bit concerned I'll still be charged!

Going to order real Oodies - great deal on if you buy 4 or 6- but don't want to until I'm sure I've been refunded. Did Amazon message you about the refund?

Just had an email from Bodyshop with a code for £8 off a £40 spend. It says it's exclusive for me so it might be worth checking your emails. I'll have a look if I want anything and if not I'll pop the code up for someone to try.

I've just ordered ok play game from big potato, I 'think' this is in the Amazon £10 small business deal and it was something I was planning to buy anyway

Yep, got my £10 credit already!
