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

Thanks to those who posted the amazon free delivery top up sites (prev thread).

To the poster asking about Accessorise, no discounts I'm afraid but if you have a points card it doesn't take long for points to mount up. I've had a few £5/£10 vouchers.

Theonlyoneiknow · 03/11/2020 22:26

Hi Peeps, I see turtle doves crop up on this thread, are they ever any cheaper than the £26 at all? Many thanks!

@waitforitwaitforit, that's a fab tip, thanks!

Clevererthanyou · 03/11/2020 22:28

I’m (selfishly) glad that Tiger isn’t working for anyone else as my heart genuinely sank a little :( it’s my absolute favourite shop and I don’t live within 45 miles of one, and I don’t drive :(

lotusbell · 03/11/2020 22:36

@Clevererthanyou, I don't go there very often but once all this is over, I am happy to visit my nearest one for you and pick up some stuff and post it to you - that's if this online site doesn't work.

@Clevererthanyou, unbelievably, my local store isn't even appearing on.their list of stores anymore, hope it's not closed!

lotusbell · 03/11/2020 22:43

@Clevererthanyou, oh it has! Looks like it closed in September. I'm sorry!!!

22Giraffes · 03/11/2020 22:46

@clevererthanyou clearly Tiger doesnt want to share the love with us! Glad you could take some comfort that it doesn't work for me either GrinWink

Givealittlebit · 03/11/2020 22:47

Anyone else got a super glitchy thread with most messages appearing multiple times?! Gonna whizz through the thread at this rate😂

lotusbell · 03/11/2020 22:48

@Clevererthanyou, oh it has! Looks like it closed in September. I'm sorry!!!

Hi- has anyone seen any good deal on these Playmobil advent calendars? I'm looking for either the Royal Ice Skating one (current Amazon price is £28) or the Christmas toy store one (£23 at Amazon)
