Thread 9 - the one with the thick willy scarf

[Reastie]

Thanks @Anydreamwilldo12 for thread title

please read the thread is moving so fast atm and it’s pretty hard to keep up! I was just wondering on people’s thoughts on this so did a super quick questionnaire here . I’m not sure we’ll find a perfect answer to suit everyone but would love your feedback on if it’s an issue or not.

Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through

@Luxplus the H&M code doesn't work for me 🙁

Really shouldn't have but I've bought the ice cream cart for DTs.

I'm pretty much done other than stockings and a token gift for two friends partners if anyone sees anything around.

Just spotted this toy kitchenn* from ELC which is discounted from £139.99 to £59.99 which looks a good deal

The ice cream cart is so good! I bought it two years ago and DD2 still plays with it.

@Luxplus yeah I can't get that code to work either. Is it maybe a one time use?

@ClaraLane thank you our local shop is an Aldi so I will keep my eyes peeled. I'd also love a willow one but it mightn't survive in here with the little ones!

@NoWordForFluffy thank you, if I've got enough left after my calculations I might get to order some lights for the windows then, trying to add a bit more cheer this year as it's been pretty awful all round.

Hype have some offers if anyone is looking to purchase anything, they are valid until midnight tonight.

Thanks @Scanner20 I need one of those, I’ll add to CCC and hope it drops again.

Wasn't there a referral code that stacked with The Spicery too?

@Dreamingofwalden can I ask how you got that deal on spicery please.

[quote Teabird]@TheSeedsOfADream. I had this problem yesterday on my mobile too. So I completely deleted the internet app from my phone and then reloaded from the play store and it worked. Might be worth a try![/quote]
Thank you! It seems ok now! Phew!

My second Siena fake oodie came today. The first one was pink which we’ve had a few weeks and really good. The grey one came today and definitely not as good quality! V odd!

Their wooden toys are online on the 18th and in store on the 22nd, fingers crossed you get one!

Am so gutted I mixed the ice cream cart. Thanks for posting. Will keep a look out for it again.

@Cosmia could you link your fake Oodie please? I need 3! Thank you!

Great for gamers, lots of Pokemon, fort nite and minecraft merchandise. I can't vouch for the quality too. Plus their customer service was brilliant.

They also have a 10% off first order but not sure if you can stack.

Sorry meant to say I can vouch for the quality

Ooh I've been after one more thing to finish off my friend's gift and that hogwarts bath bomb is perfect!

@Cosmia Mrs snowballs bubble boutique has shark bath bombs they are around £2 or £3. I highly recommend her bath bombs.

If I order Christmas food from marks and Spencer’s can I then edit said order? Or am I commuting now?

For once I actually have something useful to post.

6 assorted yankee candle small jars for £18 candles

I’ve got a referral code for The Spicery I’m happy to inbox it to anyone that wants it.

@KillZill that kitchen diner is a really good bargain. We had the basic kitchen version for years and it was excellent quality and stood up well to a lot of play. It’s in its second home now and still looking great nearly ten years later.

@WaitingForEgg re M&S food - yes you can update but you have to phone customer services to do it and there are no refunds apparently. I placed a skeleton order for what I knew we wanted and then sent all the DD's a round robin telling them to look and forward any add on requests to me asap. I'm not making the same mistake as last year - procrastinating and then finding out some items I wanted were sold out. [Looking at you fancy pants Yule log cake!] I'm also miffed that there are no freebies for early ordering but guess I'm still up on account of securing the gin hamper at £18!
