Hope you don’t mind the title @IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts !

please post any bargain info IN BOLD to make it easier to scroll through the thread.

To make things bold you:
Put a star each side of what you want to make bold like this but without the space between the star and the writing *

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 Thanks

My sapling vodka arrived today despite having had an email saying it would be after 28th. Looks lovely. I got the Bloody Mary bundle.

For people getting Craft Gin Club boxes for every box you get loyalty points that you can trade in for money off vouchers at a pretty generous rate so well worth a look if you’ve been getting them for a bit

My M&S gin is still on track for delivery on or before 5/11 too

@MsMiaWallace

Does anyone know if QVC will do the velvetiser again on offer?
No. It’s once a year for that one. I think there is another TSV to come but it’s chocolate.

@Asj0405

Just seen this offer for a free personalised childrens book, you just pay £1.99 p&p. Might make a nice stocking filler.
I just had a look and ordered, a great idea for DS! Also looks easy to cancel afterwards, I just created an account after ordering and there was an option to cancel subscription when I had a look. So that’s helpful. Thanks for sharing Smile

@MsMiaWallace I really am hoping so, as I didn’t know I wanted one until it was gone! Now it’s £105+postage and knowing it was so much cheaper I absolutely refuse to pay that much difference. I do love a bargain Grin

I have seen an email today explaining that Quality Street online are doing the personalised tins this year due to Covid rather than being with John Lewis.

However I'm wondering if anyone knows of any websites where you can buy without the tin quality street in bargain proportions thank you

Thanks. Unfortunately the codes don't stack

Justyou · 23/10/2020 20:24

I’m with The Gin Club and have had a couple of boxes myself but do you think they would be good as a Christmas present?
In-laws nightmare to buy for and will hate anything but is it a ‘they won’t hate too much gift do you think?’
They def like alcohol Grin

WisestIsShe · 23/10/2020 20:27

@carrotvan lol. My liver doesn't actually thank you but my brain does !

Duckyneedsaclean · 23/10/2020 20:32

@justyou I ordered one to give to my brother and then it was so good I drank/ate it all myself Grin. So yes, I think a good present.

Queuing4Fergs · 23/10/2020 20:37

Thanks to those who responded re Sainsburys. Boys have always drawn the short straw when it comes to variety of clothes on offer but this year it seems even more dire. And it's galling when there was a dicount to be had but nothing to buy 🤣.

In discount news, I came across these tamagochi toys and mini handheld retro console games from Home Bargains today for £1.99 per unit. Great stocking fillers, and a cute joke if your child is asking for a pet or a games console for Christmas 😂

Queuing4Fergs · 23/10/2020 20:38

Photo would help 🙄

Is the sapling vod6in discrete packaging?

cruellada · 23/10/2020 20:52

Some lovely toys reduced on brandalley at the moment, nice wooden looking ones and lots a playmobile and some Harry Potter. Worth a look if you've got children left to buy for :)

Mine just came in a brown box- Nothing identifying
UselessInDisguise · 23/10/2020 20:59

Has anyone seen any bargainous womens long waterproof coats/jackets for walks? I missed the regatta codes a while back but am definitely after a longer length (not ankle)

Great thank you, yes mine was lovely I’m just worried as I’m sure there were loads of flyers in the box and they ll either think I’ve bought them a years subscription or think wtf is this it’s got load of sales stuff in the box

livingthegoodlife · 23/10/2020 21:12

Boxed Barbie clothes £1 in Poundland.

Also Melissa and Doug sticker/glitter bracelet making set £1 in Poundland.

They also have TY glitter eye animals for £2.

All good stocking fillers!

Duckyneedsaclean · 23/10/2020 21:17

@Justyou hmm yes I see what you mean. Could you decant into a nice bag/hamper type thing?

SlipASomethingUnderThe · 23/10/2020 21:17

Temporary hair colour kit Half price with code COLOUR50 just bought one for my DD as she's always wanting to dye her hair, so I thought this would be a good alternative.

ProseccoandPizza · 23/10/2020 21:22

@Bsgetty home bargains have Christmas mento’s. I believe a vanilla and mint in a sort of candy-cane stripe packaging! 3 rolls for 89p or thereabouts!

Didyeaye · 23/10/2020 21:22

@VividImagination thank you! I used the £10 Matalan code

Muddlewitch · 23/10/2020 21:24

@Madonnawiththebigboobies My sapling vodka was in a very identifying box with sapling vodka branding on it, although it did look like it was a reused box so maybe it just depends what they have spare.
