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

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

Fenwick half price advent calendars Fenwick have some cracking deals on, including half price advent calendars. Advent calendars The lego Harry Potter one is just £12.50! Some decent toy offers too although you have to ferret about a bit on the site. Free postage over £25. I've just bought the Lego HP calendar, a glow up tube track game and a mens North Face t-shirt for £33 inc delivery Grin

@VividImagination

This looks like a good deal from Amazon. Disclaimer - I only have boys and my hair is extremely short so nothing I would use - but it looks lovely!
Do you have a link please @VividImagination I am looking for ideas for my long haired daughter!

The Debenhams sale started today.

Does anyone know when curry's and amazon start their black friday deals?

caffeineanddryshampoo · 03/11/2020 09:56

Anyone seen a cheapish refillable calendar? Don't really want a paint it yourself one though as the 5 year old will slap the paint on willy nilly. Blush

shash1982 · 03/11/2020 10:00

@caffeineanddryshampoo they had a lovely refillable tree one in the range.

Will see if I can find a photo online

@caffeineanddryshampoo here's a link. It's sold out online but they had them in store at the weekend.
Might be worth looking if you have one near you.

VividImagination · 03/11/2020 10:03

Including screen shot this time!!! I hope.

@Puffalicious

Amazon have them too. ]]

Be careful of OnBuy and PriceLulu offering at lower: I suspect they maybe grey goods (made for the overseas market so no UK guarantee) . They might not be, but both companies based in HongKong, so it's a risk.

I've just ordered Samsung Buds+ for DS14 birthday next week. I hunted and could get them a good £30-40 cheaper from these guys but I didn't want the risk. Don't like giving Amazon the custom but got them for £125 instead of £159 from Lewis/ Curry's etc.

Thanks @Puffalicious!

Thank you, even with £3.50 delivery I’ve now sorted 5 advent calendars for under £20 Flowers

According to the Emma Bridgewater email, this 15% off is the last personalised offer before Christmas. I’m a bit disappointed because I was hoping for 10 letters free like they’ve done in previous years. I guess if you’ve got short names, it’s a slightly better deal. Doesn’t work for me though.

Did anyone take advantage of the Amazon wish list offer where you created a kids wish list and got 15% off one of your items? I created the wish list but when I try to buy one of the items from my list the code isn't working.

I did. The code only works if it's on an item that you can add via the kids wish list bit - even though you can add items to the wishlist from the main site, none of those work with the code.

I also got emailed a £5 off a £25 spend code for purchasing via the wish list too which arrived a week or so later.

@EvilHerbivore

Does anyone know if primark have their kids Christmas pjs out? Don't know if to nip in before it shuts or wait til it (hopefully opens again in December)
Loads in ours Opened at 8 am this morning- nothing on the website to say that. I went down at 8.40 expecting to join a queue for 9 but straight in. Apparently the queues were out the door yesterday and it was the busiest day they had ever had
Carrie76 · 03/11/2020 10:43

Has anyone got the amazon 15% discount on purchasing from a kids Christmas list to work?? Not sure what I’m meant to be doing! Do I make a list called kids Christmas list add to it and then buy something from it? Any help would be great Smile

Carrie76 · 03/11/2020 10:51

Sorry should have read all of the thread before I posted re the amazon kids list!

2anddone · 03/11/2020 10:54

@VividImagination thank you 😊

TheCrow · 03/11/2020 11:01

[quote hoopdeloop]@JaneyJimplin the deal was for £18 you got a bottle of the gin snow globe, a bottle of Prosecco and a pocket of nuts. The gin is already £18 and apparently the Prosecco retails at £10. They are now selling the set for £40 I think[/quote]
A pocket of nuts 😂🤭

Shitfuckoh · 03/11/2020 11:01

@Carrie76

Haha that's okay. You need to wait about 24 hours after making the wish list before checking out using the code.

Can you pick any pair of leggings? I don't want to trawl through 28 pages then find the pair I want isn't included in the offer?!
