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

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.

@WisestIsShe that's infuriating. I've had a lot cancelled from orders this year, including Fossil where I've order two things as a set but only one is bring sent. As it was personalised it can't be returned and it really isn't a stand alone gift.

yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear · 21/11/2020 07:42

@WisestIsShe is it this one? Debenhams have it for £28.

Martinisarebetterdirty · 21/11/2020 07:59

@TheSilentStars - what about WHSmith? I’ve got plenty of red from them (and some glittery unicorns which are very gaudy for my unicorn mad littlest).

WisestIsShe · 21/11/2020 08:01

@ceeceebloomingdale it is. I don't want to spend all of my money on Amazon but you never have this issue with them!
I had just been looking on Etsy for wax melt calendars which might do instead. At least then I'd be supporting a little shop. But do you think it would look at nice? Would she like it as much?

@yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear that one is a bargain, thanks! Now to decide between that and the Etsy one.

Buy Subscriptions have 3 issues of Country Countryfile magazine with a Vange rucksack for £5

EverybodyKeepCool · 21/11/2020 08:07

Vango rucksack... I have no idea what Vange is

Dolphintrainer · 21/11/2020 08:10

@CeeceeBloomingdale how infuriating for you. At least email them to complain. Hope you find an alternative accompaniment

EverybodyKeepCool · 21/11/2020 08:16

And 6 issues of Gardener's World for £9.99

eitak22 · 21/11/2020 08:16

@WisestIsShe does the website Yankee bundles have it or temptation gifts (20% off this week).

myhobbyisouting · 21/11/2020 08:22

My bargain cereal bars are here 🤣🐑

Wondered what it was when the amazon man knocked. In other news, we played ticket to ride after getting it for a bargainous £18 on this thread.

Highly recommend. Great game even at full price

IggyAce · 21/11/2020 08:28

@TheSilentStars have you tried Next?

Mancbee · 21/11/2020 08:29

@onetwothreeadventure

Does anyone have any hobbycraft codes that work on the cricut? It’s on my Christmas list!
I have a £5 voucher that hobbycraft sent me for my birthday that I won't be using. I'm not sure if it's account specific and it expires tomorrow but you are welcome to try it @onetwothreeadventure
WisestIsShe · 21/11/2020 08:32

@eitak22 thanks for the suggestions but it's not available on either of those sites.
If anyone has a free delivery code for Debenhams I'll order that one? Please?

herecomesthsun · 21/11/2020 08:39

@Squ1ggle

My last 'big' thing is a set of Nintendo switch joy-cons. If anyone sees a good deal I'd be grateful. I don't relish the thought of paying £60+ on them
I bought 2 of these in May for the switch Lite, kids very happy with them.

Gardenworm · 21/11/2020 08:40

@EverybodyKeepCool I don't get anywhere near those prices when I go through to those subscriptions is there a code??

LutherRalph1 · 21/11/2020 08:43

Has anybody had (or do they know) where I can get Christmas cards printed fairly reasonably? DS and I made one yesterday and I'd like to get copies for grandparents etc

Thanks

IggyAce · 21/11/2020 08:44

Various deals on the Debenhams website.

Paddy & Scott are offering 27% off coffee with code bargain there are some restrictions.

White Stuff 3 for 2 on gifts

EverybodyKeepCool · 21/11/2020 08:50

@Gardenworm no there's no code. The Countryfile one came up on Facebook and the Gardener's World one was on there when I scrolled through

Squ1ggle · 21/11/2020 08:54

@herecomesthsun thank you but it's to work with the Mario kart steering wheel and to attach to the switch handset so needs to be the small joy-con ones

yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear · 21/11/2020 08:57

@WisestIsShe try SH8M for Debenhams free delivery.

Ruralretreating · 21/11/2020 08:57

Fossil cancelled my order too. Fortunately it was an extra gift so not a disaster but slightly disappointing.

Autumnwoman · 21/11/2020 09:01

DD wants some erasable pens - not gel pens, but I think more like felt tips. Any ideas where I can get these?

WisestIsShe · 21/11/2020 09:06

Thanks @yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear but it says "promotion code you have entered is not available at this time. Please try again later." No idea what that means!

straighthairdontcare · 21/11/2020 09:06

@Autumnwoman Amazon do some frixxion I think

yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear · 21/11/2020 09:08

@WisestIsShe oh that's odd I got it from an email which said free delivery this November!
Perhaps it's account specific, sorry.
