With this lockdown stuff I can think of no better distraction than Christmas! Online present hunting will he even more important right now too.

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

I ordered from flying tiger when someone posted the link on Tuesday- about 5pm. Delivered by DPD at 8.00am this morning. The DPD notification text yesterday said an order from Huboo which threw me slightly.

I got 1 clementine and 1 rhubarb gin hamper - both arrived together - very strange.

caringcarer · 05/11/2020 09:32

Does anyone know where I can buy the new X Box edition X from? I would like to pre order but can't find any left except some on eBay for over £100 more than normal price.

Wishing you a very happy birthday Fluffy

My drop store gin bundle arrived and DH & I are very impressed (it’s a gift for me) there was even a free mini bottle of gin enclosed.

caringcarer · 05/11/2020 09:47

Morrisons are giving Teachers or anyone who works in a school or nursery 10 percent off everything until Xmas . You have to take a school or nursery photo ID to checkout.

lexloofah · 05/11/2020 09:52

Happy B Day Fluffy!

@BanoffeePieIsMyFave those s'mores kits and your diy ones look fab. Now I have a picture in my mind of my family kneeling by the fire, Christmas jumpers on, toasting forks in hand...

May have been posted already but 40% off at Landsend code NV40. Looking at the catalogue They have cashmere jumpers, kids PJs, Christmas stocking holders, fluffy slippers

Dolphintrainer · 05/11/2020 09:54

@Phineasthegreat I got the Sienna in October and got the “thin and awful”

Mahonia · 05/11/2020 09:59

@Mahonia

Seedlip non-alcoholic spirit trio gift set £18 at English Heritage online shop. It's £35 on the Seedlip site and £32 on Amazon so very bargainous from English Heritage.

Also from English Heritage, slightly random, but they have some stamp collections reduced from £6.25 to £1.60. They can be used to send postcards internationally (worldwide) from the UK, but can't be used to send post to UK addresses. The info is on the product page. I found two different sets: Belsay Castle and Ashby de la Zouch Castle.

Also meant to add that when I was on the website a box popped up with a code for 10% off full priced items - I had a mix of sale and full price in my basket and got 10% off the lot, so even more extra bargainous!
margaritasbythesea · 05/11/2020 10:04

Figleaves have 20% off 4 styles of Ugg slippers today.

Happy birthday Fluffy! Flowers

margaritasbythesea · 05/11/2020 10:07

Sorry - I meant to ask, does anyone remember when Morrisons do their 25% off 6 bottles of wine? The same offer is on at Tesco at the moment but I don't have any favourites there (be happy to have recommendations if anyone does).

whoknows1230 · 05/11/2020 10:12

@Phineasthegreat I ordered one about three weeks ago. It's a present so haven't tried it on and I don't have anything to compare it to but it feels lovely, soft and thick to me

recklessgran · 05/11/2020 10:14

A very happy birthday @NoWordForFluffy. Hope you have a lovely day.
Please does anybody have a discount code for Nike or know if they do anything for Black Friday etc. Need some trainers for DGS but the ones he's asked for are ££££. Thanks very much.

InDreamland · 05/11/2020 10:18

Whittard 3 free stackable clip top tins worth £36 when spending £70 use promo code CHEERS

Theonlyoneiknow · 05/11/2020 10:25

recklessgran I would recommend signing up to the Nike app, and also registering for their newsletter - they offer 25% "birthday" discount emails

CoffeeAndCake3 · 05/11/2020 10:34

I've just seen GH magazine being offered for 6 months £16.99 plus a free ultimate GH book worth £30. Does anyone know if the deals get better than this? Im actually not too bothered about the book

Mumto3thatsme · 05/11/2020 10:34

Does anyone have a recommendation for a really lovely, maybe interactive doll for dd 3 years?

SharonMack17 · 05/11/2020 10:42

@BanoffeePieIsMyFave I LOVE the smores kit idea! Thanks

thelegohooverer · 05/11/2020 10:44

20% off knitwear and coats at FATFACE I got dd a coat in their sale after it was mentioned in one of the very early threads and it is lovely quality, washes well and is sadly just a fraction too small for me to steal on her!

Bare Minerals have 5 free treats with code 5treats and a £55 spend. Personally I think there will be better offers from them and definitely worth signing up to the emails if you’re intending to buy as they do a fair few offers.

Happy Birthday Fluffy Cake
