Thread 16 - the one with slick willies

[Reastie]

I still have no idea if that’s a typo, euphemism or actual shop
@XFPW 😬

5 Hygge bands for £15 with code TREAT20 entered at checkout, good quality and great for gifts. There aren't many kids designs left but lots of choice for teens/ grown ups.

Sorry if this has already been posted - Thomas super station £50 at argos i dont think I've seen it that cheap before.

For the poster asking for an ASOS code you can get 20% off after you order from Just Eat and they are valid the same day so I would hang on as someone is bound to get one on here eventually!

@BeGoneDom if I remember correctly IWOOT was a disaster a while back for some posters. I would avoid them at all costs

oldwasherwoman That's really good to know, thanks. Problem is I'd need to buy Mario Kart separately as that's the main one he wants, typically, as this deal is a different, cheaper game.

I wondered since there will be mass hysteria over the PS5 the Switch might be on offer on B Friday, but it's still pretty popular. Dilemma!

Thank you to whichever lovely poster mentioned the toucan box offer. Dd has just outgrown it so we cancelled our subscription but I have to say that I was very impressed with it. I’m not sure I’d be willing to pay the full price every month, but if she’d been interested I’d have happily stumped up for the reduced 6 month deal. It was a nice diversion for an afternoon.

Might be cutting it fine for delivery now, but these look like a nice stocking filler (and have a slightly harry potter vibe I think) - loads on ebay under Chinese magic cloth water paper, there are plain or lined versions.
They're like a more dramatic looking aquadoodle - water brushed on shows up in black and then vanishes as it dries.

Handbells are a good idea. As is a cabasa. Thank you!

@Puffalicious. I'm going to go for it. DS's birthday is in the spring so I'll keep the £10 Jurassic park game back for then as I know it's Zelda he really wants.

I've also bought Mario Kart as a surprise and as something he can play with DD. I used the Curry's deal posted by @stressbucket1 at the start of this thread to get it for £32.

Not sure if its been mentioned before but nintendo switch games £36.99 in currys. If you select collect in store and use code FNDDGAME it takes another £5 off. Making Mario Kart 8 £31.99 plus other games

I'm going to suggest his grandparents buy the Zelda game. The switch is an expensive business!

Currys deal was ace - thanks stress

15% off at Jacques London with code CELEBRATE15. Ends Tues.

I'm onto that Curry's deal - brilliant. The Switch is indeed an expensive business! I think I might have and go for the Smyths' deal. I'll kick myself, though, if the BFriday deals are great.

My problem is after the Switch and a few books he wants that's a lot of cash and I'm not sure he understands the value (8 and has Asd so younger emotionally) and may be upset there's not more parcels compared to the usual bigger pile when he was younger.

*cave not have

@uniqlo

House of Fraser and Sports Direct have 20% off full price items starting at midnight - code is AUTUMN20 for both

Annoyingly, not for Jo Malone purchases

What was the toucan box deal please?

@Oldmrswasherwoman what was the curry's deal please? I've scrolled and scrolled and cannot find a poster called stress!

Curry’s post

koi footwear 15% off with code GHOST15

Think it only works on full priced items but they have some really good priced alternative shoes!

Ah thanks!! I'll have a look

@Puffalicious we had this last year. We saved a large box and put the switch in this along with a load of balloons. Made the pile of presents look larger and much fun was had with the balloons too. We also wrapped a couple of games in smaller boxes too.

Fell off the threads for a while (life getting in the way!) but thought I'd pop on during a night feed...and am now waiting delivery of the blade and rose leggings 😂

What's the snail and the whale item? My little ones obsessed but I can't find it scrolling back?

Givealittlebit Snail and the Whale book and toy £6 at Amazon.

I don't know much about dolls other than what I see on here, but the Our Generation Holly doll is £24.99 down from £37.99 on Amazon.

They also have Ayla to order at the same price, but currently out of stock.

@woodwaj for the unborn baby gift, you didn’t mention a budget but I would really recommend a star wrap: tuppenceandcrumble.com/shop/Baby-Star-Wraps-Naturals

I don’t know if anyone’s doing any deals, but this was a godsend for me!

@EvilHerbivore Argos have this pop up tree they also have it in white.
