Thread 16 - the one with slick willies

[Reastie]

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

Can anyone recommend any bargainous luggage tags - personalised with photos and address?

@Justyou in my Tesco, the grabber machines aren't with the toys where you would expect them. They are in a bit of a Christmas section, where there are some stocking fillers and the selection boxes etc

I’ll look for vouchers thanks, I asked in Tesco but the assistant hasn’t seen them but showed me that dept with all the novelty Christmas games - was moved from usual place and much smaller selection this year

This isn't a bargain but if anyone with (or without!) young children have the book Dogger by Shirley Hughes, a new book has been released just this week called Dogger's Christmas. You can buy a signed copy from Waterstones.

I bought my then one year old Dogger last Christmas as I remember it from my childhood and it's now one of my daughter's favourite books.

I didn’t see selection boxes- it was like novelty Christmas charades and sprout gifts

Awe, I lover Dogger. My youngest is 14 so not sure if I can justify buying the new one. We still have our original copy - I can’t let it go!

That Candy Grab machine from Robert Dyas is also being sold at Boyes if you have one near. Boyes have them priced at £20.

Thanks for the 'We're going on a bear hunt Christmas activity book' I got it for £2.55 delivered by choosing a different seller, DS will love it :)

I don’t supppse there are any popcorn codes left today please?

Gah keep missing the popcorn

ADD20 simply be, 20% off and free next day delivery.

I would love a pop corn code too please :D

Does anyone have any fabfitfun discount codes?

@danuta22 - how did you get 5 for £15 at hyggebands? I'm only being offered but one get three free - thank you!!

@dramalamma code TREAT20

@Ness1234 have you seen the personalised guitar plectrums? If you google there are loads. I like these guitar plectrum from Not on the high street with free delivery. Not sure if your budget but there are ones from different places for different prices

Thank you @myhobbyisouting! That’s a fab deal. 😁

@Nooproblemoo
Thank you so much, just ordered, that will be our Christmas book - I didn't know that was coming out

Matalan vouchers

I remember reading on these threads about a fab company to send parcels with who were pretty cheap, can anyone remember who it was please

@Justyou parcel monkey ?

I added a sixth mystery band for £2.99. Delivered it is £3.75 per band. Nice stocking fillers and a couple for me

Oh I’ve just realised I NEED a candy grabber. It is the perfect present for my hard to buy for nephew. Budget can’t go over £20 though so will have to wait and see if I can get a bargain somewhere along the way. (No Boyes in NI)

Is there a discount code for Naked Marshmallow please?

@thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead We have BlahBlahBlah it's a great game. It's game-ish enough that my 9 year old will happily join us, but educational for my 5 year old. We didn't pay £22, I don't think. They have sales now and again.
