SadderThanEeyore · 11/10/2020 20:48

Anyone who ordered Naked Marshmallows able to tell me how long the dates are on them please?

Jfw82 · 11/10/2020 20:49

@recklessgran don't know where you are located but 'the London game' is a nice one - more relevant to those close to London being based on the tube as naturally easier if you're used to having to deal with working your way around line closures/disruption! but that doesn't stop it being enjoyable Smile

Givealittlebit · 11/10/2020 20:50

Husbands still mad about multiple orders. Amazon have not helped as our delivery is still out until 9pm on a Sunday night 😂

LaChatte · 11/10/2020 20:53

4 people games that we enjoy are Exploding Kittens and Sushi Go!

SleeptightDaisy · 11/10/2020 20:53

Thanks for all the recommendations regarding a skateboard. Will have a look/chat with skatehut

@FrolickingLemon

Isn't it thread 12?

@Fuckingfuckssake I have Lakeland codes, but they are at my Mums house. If you don't have any luck tonight, I'll PM them to you in the morning.

FrolickingLemon that would be great thank you.
nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 11/10/2020 20:58

Sorry just seen all the comments! Just gone on my orders to put a link and the 70% code for kukubird isnt there now. Maybe keep an eye on amazon and they seem to drop alot! They may become the next buns and puppets 😂

Madonnawiththebigboobies · 11/10/2020 21:04

Elkesdeg . Sorry

weebarra · 11/10/2020 21:08

I hope the Vampire's Wife collection is available in fat woman sizes!
Don't know if this has been on but IWOOT have £10 of hoodies with HOODIE10.

Madonnawiththebigboobies · 11/10/2020 21:09

Many thanks for all the recommendations . I would never have found these without you all .

dementedma · 11/10/2020 21:18

We bought Carcassone a few years ago but could never figure out how to play it! I'm not hugely into games to be honest, but we play Linkee or do quizzes.

MrsLeclerc · 11/10/2020 21:21

The Watch Shop has a sale on with an Extra 25% discount on some brands. I’ve bought DH a Skagen watch for his December birthday for £68 and RRP was £119.

ZIGGY911 · 11/10/2020 21:31

Very late to the Prime Party but does anyone know if the small business purchase have to be one item over £10 or can it be multiple smaller items costing over £10 altogether to get the £10 for prime day.

ScoobySnacker · 11/10/2020 21:47

Boots have 20% off Florance by Mills skincare range by Millie Bobbie Brown. Hopefully will be a winner for DD14!!

recklessgran · 11/10/2020 21:50

You lot are great - I've ordered Blokus, Rummikub and Carcassone for a start and am keeping others in a list in my Christmas notebook. @XFPW that Discovering Ireland game will be perfect for us to take with us next time we visit my sister - we are planning a trip to Ireland to discover our roots there just as soon as we are able. Thank you all.

gaggiagirl · 11/10/2020 21:54

My kukubird leggings were 70% off from Amazon. Just got them last week. Yesterday it was the palm print ones that had 70% off. I think it's just a matter of watching and waiting.

NickMyLipple · 11/10/2020 22:06

@ZIGGY911 multiple things from different sellers will work, as long as they're from the small shops section on Amazon (Storefront I think it's called)

Jacopone · 11/10/2020 22:08

Re games - I recommend Rummikub especially from Jacques of London, arrives beautifully packaged and is not expensive.

ZIGGY911 · 11/10/2020 22:17

thanks so much, that solves a couple of stocking filler presents then.

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 11/10/2020 22:20

I’ve now been inspired to buy Rummikub, it sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for the suggestions

Can anyone recommend a nice activity to do with the children around Christmas please?

Atm we have baking (Bakedin Cinnamon Buns, Chocolate Brownies and Salted Caramel Cupcakes) and also a few new games (Exploding Kittens, Uno Flip and Rummikub). We also have a Slime Kit.

I’m racking my brain to think of something else, I don’t want the children to get bored but it’s going to be just us this year due to Covid so need to plan! Thank you Smile

Theonlyoneiknow · 11/10/2020 22:31

recklessgran There was a great thread last year about board games. I added them to an amazon list so I wouldn't forget! Off top of my head - Ticket to Ride, Forbidden Island, Mexican Train, Catan, Settler, Pandemic (!), Castle Panic, Duel, Ingenious, Pit, Sock Game, Takenoko, Bunny Kingdom, Qwirkle, King Domino, Colt express, Carcassonne, Dixit, Azul, 7 wonders, Rummikub. Lots of these are games where the family plays as a team against the game - as a collaborative

TheCrow · 11/10/2020 22:40

@4Minions2CallMyOwn do you have dobble?

Make and decorate a gingerbread house
Make Christmas bark- cheap white and milk chocolate marbled together with bashed up candy canes mixed in and sprinkled on top
Drive/walk around the neighbourhood looking at people's decorations, take hot chocolate

TheCrow · 11/10/2020 22:42

@4Minions2CallMyOwn there's a big thread called 'if restrictions persist we'll still make December special' with tons of ideas! 🙂
