So I'm pretty much done and wrapped thanks to you guys.

I'm after some stocking fillers for my 5 and 3 year old if anyone could recommend please? I've got the usual socks, pencils etc.

I'm also looking for something for a tricky sister in law who doesn't use anything on her skin and doesn't really have any hobbies. I exhausted the Lisa Angel sale for her birthday at the end of the month. Thanks

purplepandas · 16/10/2020 10:24

Thank you so much @Ironess, I have been looking at Hype for a while but felt it was just too pricey. Done for the children, hope they like it and was lucky enough to get the £50 off. Thank you muchly!

purplepandas · 16/10/2020 10:25

@allatonce99, did you use this offer turtle dove £10 off ?

purplepandas · 16/10/2020 10:26

Ah sorry, that was not the one I meant @allatonce99, apologies. I used one the other day that gave me that but I could buy up to three and choose a selection of colours (e.g. red/orange/pink). Can look again if needed. Apologies.

Dovesandkisses · 16/10/2020 10:27

Free delivery on baker ross when you spend over £29

Merrily wrapping presents this morning to send overseas. Thank you for the Parcels2Go tip a million threads ago, really easy to use and saved me going to the post office which is tiny and always has a queue outside, plus it's on topcashback

Itwasntme101 · 16/10/2020 10:34

Through the post this morning studio 20% off + free standard delivery on your first credit order - 052

@purplepandas sorry not me.... I haven't been looking at gloves?...

MsMiaWallace · 16/10/2020 10:43

@Asj0405 can I have it please? Been after one for weeks.
Sorry not sure how to PM

purplepandas · 16/10/2020 10:48

Sorry @allatonce99, I am making so many mistakes these last couple of days, I need some rest I think ! Apologies.

buckeejit · 16/10/2020 11:03

Thanks for the echo show help, good to know 😁

Been to B&M to look for the D sack I need & none there.

In my local they have E L K R S M I J C F A. If anyone needs one of these letters, let me know, especially if there's Ds in your local!

JaneyJimplin · 16/10/2020 11:04

Here's a paperchase free cards code if anyone wants it. There's no paperchase near me...

Does anyone have a picture of the B&M sacks & stockings?
Going to be in need of 3 but wondering if there will be any left when our isolation time is up & I actually manage to get there!

NerosFiddle · 16/10/2020 11:21

Not exactly a bargain but anyone looking for micro scooters £20 off £150 spend with code GIFT150 and £40 off £250 spend with code GIFT250

thelegohooverer · 16/10/2020 11:34

25% off readers at thin optics with the code EARLYBFREADER
I’ve given gifts of the ones that you can keep on your mobile phone and they’re very handy. The initial reaction is invariably wtf, and they seem very flimsy. But everyone I’ve given them too raves about them once they start using them. Good for those middle aged people who can afford everything they want and have started to faff with reading glasses.

princessbear80 · 16/10/2020 11:47

Thanks @tabbycat985 and @lexloofah will check out Asda and Argos for dogs.

Lovemusic33 · 16/10/2020 11:55

Managed to drive to the nearest Sainsbury’s this morning and buy some of the Lego Harry Potter sets and a couple Lego speed cars, they were still putting toys out on the shelves so worth keeping an eye out.

Got home to several deliveries, feels like Christmas 😂, now I need to hide it all before kids get home.

covidmonkey · 16/10/2020 11:57

I went to Sainsbury's too and got One of the newest Lego friends set. Jungle one with baby elephant. Dd has wished those jungle sets for Xmas.

Any recommendations for those hooded oodie things for an 8 yr old?

ClaraTheImpossibleGirl · 16/10/2020 12:16

I got my Vodafone code for the Paperchase cards and then realised it's in store only, and I live nowhere near one! Doh. If anyone would like it please PM me.

@Marypoppinsisnosaint - I've got a couple of Hotel Chocolat little pots for my DC (annoyingly not on their website, but they were £2 each with a jolly Santa on them!), bubble wands, a couple of the little Blox kits from Wilko and a couple of these pass the parcel games for my DC of similar age.

Not a bargain as such but I recently ordered some personalised stationery products from A Little Bit Vintage and they are lovely - arrived really quickly too Smile

How about something from Ollie & Nic www.ollieandnic.com/collections/outlet?page=2&sort_by=price-ascending

I ordered a bag, 2 purses and an oversized tunic for £51 delivered and they are really nice quality.

deeplybaffled · 16/10/2020 12:48

@purplepandas, it was me hunting for glove codes! If you do have one that would cover several pairs, it would be much appreciated, thank you
