@nightcap heritage of Scotland have a physical shop in Glasgow selling kilts so I believe it’s a fairly genuine shop at least!

newnamesameold · 15/10/2020 09:48

Not the most Christmassy of things but Sainsburys TU 25% off starts on the 20th of October apparently.

shipperssss · 15/10/2020 09:55

Just wondering if anyone has seen any hamper kits in actual shops? I can get to Poundland, b and m, home bargains and poundstretcher today if anyone has seen any. Thanks.

@ allatonce99.

I used your hotel Chocolat offer for a velvistiser. Can’t thank you enough x

Puffalicious · 15/10/2020 10:21

Thanks MsMiaWallace

UselessInDisguise · 15/10/2020 10:23

I've fallen for the B&m sacks with the letters on but Im failing to find an O. Has anyone seen one? Could anyone post me one of so I'd be eternally grateful 😁

caffeineanddryshampoo · 15/10/2020 10:33

thanks for the heritage scotland heads up, scouring it for bargainous rick and morty stuff.

PinkDaydreams · 15/10/2020 10:35

@Yeknom I'm sure Sainsbury's have the Barbie campervan half price?

EvilHerbivore · 15/10/2020 10:43

My fake oodie has arrived - I only ordered on Tuesday and it said delivery before November 10th but came today
Thanks for the recommendations, it is so fluffy and soft that I may never wear anything else! Already debating if I could buy more and wear them for work Grin

Is that the Sienna one? I ordered one yesterday that had the same delivery date which has now been changed to delivery 17th-18th October. Unfortunately that's the weekend so I'll need to dash for the door and squirrel it away from DD's prying eyes Grin
EvilHerbivore · 15/10/2020 10:52

@whoknows1230 yes, the sienna one in pink

@EvilHerbivore, exactly the same as me, thank you. Good to know that it's warm and fluffy.

I've seen them in Card Factory & Hobbycraft if that's any good?
Bezzi · 15/10/2020 11:19

@shipperssss to add to the Card Factory and Hobbycraft I've also seen hamper kits in The Works

Bezzi · 15/10/2020 11:20

@shipperssss I'm almost sure I've seen them in B&M too. Sorry for the multiposts

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 15/10/2020 11:34

Ive definitely seen hamper kits in bigger home bargains and in B&M

I really need to pull everything out thats hidden away in bags and boxes and list everything again to make sure im not missing anything so i know exactly what else ive got to buy!! storage is very limited right now as we had a house fire in august and one bedroom is completely out of action, work is meant to start this month gutting it and then doing it out but it wont be finished and habitable before the end of november so storage really is at a premium right now! i have so many boags and boxes everywhere i can fit them which is why i need everything out to look through!

Received with WH Smith order in case of use to anyone

Now that’s interesting! I ordered Sienna hoodies about a month ago and still no signs of them! Time to start looking into the order, thanks for the heads up. I wonder if they’ve had delivery of a massive shipment Grin

myhobbyisouting · 15/10/2020 11:59

@GazingAndGrazing Bargainmax have good deals on Harry Potter stuff and delivery is quick.

For anyone that got the IWOOT jumpers and had a problem with the order, they've offered me a refund and I can keep the items. I'll have to put them in the dryer for 3 hours to make them the right size Grin

mummyof2boys30 · 15/10/2020 12:02

Look fantastic have 21% off some benefit. Got my mum the set with blusher, mascara and primer for £22. She uses the blusher anyway and its normally 27 alone

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 15/10/2020 12:03

Saw this on my Amazon offers, £5 if you place an Amazon hub offer of £20 or more. Don’t know if everyone is eligible, just showed up on my main page

I can’t remember who asked about having a robot hoover, but just to say having one has completely changed my life! We got one that has an app control with it so can turn it on when out or upstairs in bed etc. We can also set timers for daily and it has stair awareness so doesn’t fall down them. Amazing!

Whereas before our laminate floor used to continuously have bits of dirt in corners and the rugs have cat hair now it’s always clean. Essential with a baby in the house! I put the eufy on in the morning when I leave to do the school run and at night once I’m in bed. Sometimes more often when necessary. When it’s low on battery it just takes itself to its docking station to charge. Or you can use the app to send it there. It moves well around furniture and we just make sure there’s no toys etc on the floor- although if there is it’ll move around them too. You have to keep it away from wires though.

We tested it when we got it to see if it was really THAT good, we hoovered and then turned it on. It picked up loads of dirt we couldn’t even see and the drawer for collection was half full. DH wasn’t sold on it until that moment in time, now we’re thinking about getting one upstairs too Grin

Don't know if it's been posted but coop are offering free irresistible chocolate bars if you download the app good for a stocking or to scoff. I just bagged the raspberry one. Lots included like mint or caramel

Busy Books are £5 in Sainsbury's I picked 3 up today for gifts. I'd never heard of them before so thank you to those that mentioned them

Reastie · 15/10/2020 12:30

I think it was heritage of Scotland that were mentioned a few threads ago and we were unsure how legit they were. Did everyone get their stuff from the original scarf ordering?
