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

Thank you I'll go look on the other thread.
Slightly worried..... Need a star wars lego advent calendar, didn't pick it up in Tesco last week as DS was with me.... Can I find it in stock anywhere? Nope 😔

Does anyone know of any Hobbycraft codes please? Ideally a free P&P one

It's not a shop I've used before other than one purchase in store earlier this year but I was going to place an online order for a couple of things but P&P is £4.50.

I'll probably end up buying things I don't need or want just to make the order up for free P&P

Does anyone know how to get Alexa to stop announcing what’s arriving and when?

Does anyone have a White Company discount code please? Apparently it’s on the front of the catalogue they sent out or at the bottom of their marketing emails. I stupidly opted out of receiving then!

@girlsyearapart if you go into your Alexa app you can adjust the notifications to remove any updates on shopping/delivery so Alexa doesn’t announce them
girlsyearapart · 04/11/2020 09:16

Thanks @BicycleMadeForTwo I think I’ve done it

Last night I picked up a set of 2 products for DS's stocking for £2.79 - Lynx Africa Marmite! I thought it was quite daft so would make him laugh and hopefully more inclined to use it, the stinker. Blush I got it in Savers but I see lots of other places, including Boots, stock it.

I'm going to put together some marshmallow toasing/s'mores making kits for gifts this Christmas. I've already bought a job lot of chafing tins from Amazon and I'd like to get some fancy marshmallows to go with them. I was looking at the Naked Marshmallow site and they do bundles which look ideal but they're still fairly pricey, as is P&P. Wondering if anyone knew if they ever did special offers, or of any other posh marshmallow retailers?

Scbchl · 04/11/2020 10:14

My youngest daughter has just declared at 11 she LOVES Lego. After never playing with it before over the years when purchased. I'm thinking the Friends Central Perk set. Anyone any codes or anything which would help me get it cheaper than £55 please. Or should I wait and see if there is any deals around Black Friday?

Serg · 04/11/2020 10:25
