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

@thaegumathteth there you go

Please can anyone give me some help with Pokemon? DGS12 has requested an Elite Trainer Box. I've just looked at them and have absolutely no clue - prices vary wildly and I won't even wonder why he would want this! Is it a thing? He also has asked for a Pokemon game for his 3DS - I'm fine with that but would be very happy with your Pokemon recommendations generally - all the better if bargainous too. I really want to get this right for him - thanks all.

Unsure if it's been mentioned before, but 20% off at Paperchase with code BBOCT20LT.

Justyou · 04/11/2020 12:37

Someone added a link for IWOOT but I’ve lost it and I think it was 25% off does anyone have one please?

[quote MiniMileyMoo]@Scout2016 I saw in Superdrug today they have eye masks similar to space masks but much cheaper - here[/quote]
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered 3 packs of these for £7.00 total as it's 3for2 and I had £6 worth of points.

I'm also looking for a good deal on a Nintendo Switch, preferably with Animal Crossing, Curry's have one for £329 but would I be best to wait for Black Friday?

Gutted I missed the nightmare before christmas advent calendar! If anyone sees it on offer please let me know!! :)

DiscontentedWoman · 04/11/2020 13:04

Can anyone remember the name of the company that did the personalised cutting boards and cheese boards? It was a few threads back but I can't seem to find it...

recklessgran · 04/11/2020 13:10

@DiscontentedWoman I think it was Love Lottie - we sold them out at the time!

popgoeshertail · 04/11/2020 13:15

Has anyone got another lakeland 20% off voucher? I'm kicking myself as mine expired and I didn't notice. I've got a 10% off one that's good for another week.

Thank you so much! I would never have thought to have done that. A lovely lady on their chat has refunded me the 20%

Yep! 😂

I ordered one of each - the rhubarb one came yesterday but the clementine one appears to have gone AWOL

I'm after 3 x £10 Xbox gift cards, not digital codes but the card. Any idea where I could get from?

Mrs snowballs bath bombs question - has anyone bought the monthly surprise box and can tell me if it's good value please?
Looking at some for my kids, we got bargain Bomb cosmetics last year but I wasn't specially impressed by smell or colour of them.
