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

Hi Peeps, after what feels like hours trawling the net to no avail I was wondering if anyone could recommend a set of funky/arty mugs? Can't really spend £15 per mug probably more £35 max for a set. Nothing on the usual sites is hitting the spot! Thanks in advance if you have any recommendations:)

CeeceeBloomingdale · 15/11/2020 15:57

@slithytoveisascientist

Still have a Boden code as well as 2 Lakeland codes - £10 off £60 and £5 off £30
@slithytoveisascientist I'd love a Boden code if it's still going please

@Lockdownlumpy my 9yo had asked for schleich for Christmas. She’s obsessed with the horse range.

Puffalicious · 15/11/2020 16:10

Patchwork Elmer I was in Tk maxx ( Scotland) and there was a whole range of xmas crockery. You should try online.

slithytoveisascientist · 15/11/2020 16:12

Boden code gone

I’ve caved and bought a switch with the eBay code, £255. Has it ever dropped below that?

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 15/11/2020 16:12

@Lockdownlumpy my DD (10) is a huge Schleich fan. She has over a hundred horses and other animals, as well as lots of the horse club playsets. She still adores it and plays with it all every day. It's fantastic quality and has a good resale value so I think it's a worthwhile investment.

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 15/11/2020 16:14

Can anyone recommend a good but not expensive bluetooth shower speaker please?

HoHoHolyMackerel · 15/11/2020 16:21

@ThePurpleGirl I completely missed that! That's made my day thank you Grin I'm feeling very christmassy today as lots of people near me have already started putting little Dec's up

lifelongfrugaleer · 15/11/2020 16:30

@Lockdownlumpy my dd13 has her horses on display now she doesn't play with them. She is still horse mad

DinosaurOfFire · 15/11/2020 16:32

@Hophop26 Thanks for that, I'll have a look
@Lockdownlumpy My dd is 8.5 and loves her schleich horses, bayala and houses, she has asked for more for Christmas and I think she'll keep playing with them for a long time yet.

lolarabbit · 15/11/2020 16:40

@TheonlyoneIknow Is there anything at Habitat that you like? They have 25% off everything today. Might not be your taste but I like a few of the designs at Denby - if you happen to have loads of Tesco clubcard vouchers to make them affordable (or free!)

Whenasuitcasejustwontdo · 15/11/2020 16:45

Hi @PostPopper, I've tried to use the middle Baker Ross code but it won't apply- could I ask if there are any restrictions please? My phone won't enlarge your image enough to see! Thanks! Flowers

PinkDaydreams · 15/11/2020 16:46

Are there any ASOS codes floating about please? A Christmas present has just come back into stock which was out of stock the other day on promo

PinkDaydreams · 15/11/2020 16:57

Thank you so much @Legume, I'll give it a try :)

PostPopper · 15/11/2020 17:00

Oh no! The middle one is for a £65 spend exc delivery . The t&cs are quite hard to read even on the leaflet! The only thing i can see is not valid on Craft boxes. Do you have any of those? I’ll try and send a closer pic

Hmm, wondering if schleich is something that girls tend to more than boys. Someone has offered to get 7yo DS schleich animals and wildlife truck and I'm not sure if he'd get use out of them or not.

PinkDaydreams · 15/11/2020 17:04

@Legume thank you for the code it worked on one item in my basket but not on another. ASOS are funny with codes on certain brands though so that may be why. Thank you again so much Smile

Theonlyoneiknow · 15/11/2020 17:07

Thanks lolarabbit I had actually chosen some mugs from Habitat then re-read they wanted arty/funky.The Habitat ones were plain but really nice with good reviews (and affordable!)

PatchworkElmer · 15/11/2020 17:13

@Puffalicious thank you! Will have a look.

@Lockdownlumpy my DS is only 4, so younger than yours- he LOVES the animals but I’ve stayed away from vehicles just because he has so many other cars, trucks, etc. I can remember playing with them certainly throughout primary school. I think it depends on the child maybe? Is he interested in animals?

Connellschain · 15/11/2020 17:17

@theonlyoneiknow - have a look at the Eleanor Bowmer mug range in John Lewis. I recently bought 6 different ones, they are lovely quality and just so different

Shrillharridan · 15/11/2020 17:23

May I have a lakeland code please?

sorryiasked · 15/11/2020 17:26

@Theonlyoneiknow arty (altho maybe not that funky) mugs here

Helssjbells · 15/11/2020 17:31

Is there anyone with a £10 off voucher for Boden? I’d be super grateful xx
