Thanks for the hotel chocolat tip, I got the meltingly good bundle for £35 for our family Christmas Eve box with 2 x hot chocolate, a mini dipping selection and a box of batons.

Right .. since I am unwell and housebound for a while yet I’d like to treat myself to a Lego set ! Specifically the gingerbread house - have I any hope of getting it cheaper ?? Does anyone know of a John Lewis code ? It’s for sale just with JL and official Lego site ..

@Borris I got dd’s sprocket last year on Black Friday for almost half price on a lightning deal. Put it on camel camel camel and be ready to be fast! I think it was about £60 iirc

[PinkJam]

Thank you so much for the Hotel Chocolat codes! Makes the hampers and collections a fantastic bargain!

I also went for the Meltingly good bundle.

[IggyAce]

70% off at Dr Botanicals with code NOV70
Can recommend the charcoal mask, lemon butter balm and the pomegranate sleep mask.

[thaegumathteth]

@Borris I got dd's sprocket for £69.99 last year. Check our camel camel camel to see price reductions.

[TheGirlWhoLived]

I’m going to need a refresher on the hotel chocolat codes please! What did I miss

[LutherRalph1]

I had been ignoring the HC codes as what I wanted wasn't included in codes, but somebody posted about the meltingly gift and it included the batons DP has desperately wanted!

Thanks for the codes

Trying so hard not to buy hotel chocolate.

[princessbear80]

For those of you who like Tia Maria at Christmas like me, Tesco have the 70cl bottle for £10 if you have a clubcard.

[WhereTheresAHill]

@pasinphoebe I’m going to get it too, it goes in and out of stock regularly on JL but if you’re a semi regular (or regular!) purchaser of Lego as of this weekend the Lego website will have double VIP points (can swap for money off vouchers) and in the past they’ve done additional freebies too but not money off. If you sign up to My John Lewis they might give you an offer of a £5 voucher for next time when you spend £50. Wish I’d bought it when they had money off Lego codes back in September and October!

[Elphaba17]

I am still dithering over the HC. Keep adding and removing things from my basket as it still seems quite expensive even with the discount. But I think that is because I want to buy for myself so harder to justify!

[margaritasbythesea]

Lloyds Pharmacy have some good offers on fragrance.

[sorryiasked]

I can't get the hotel chocolat code to work either they were for me

I keep doing the same!

[friskybivalves]

My DH has charmingly chucked out my Lakeland vouchers. If anyone has a spare that would give some money off a £40 spend I would be v v grateful.

[NoWordForFluffy]

Frisky! 😱😱😱😱 LTB!

I might have one. Hold on (you'll need to be a MyLakeland member though).

[IggyAce]

I too am resisting the hotel chocolate offer, we have enough treats for Xmas with all the stuff via vodaphone.

[DillieDoily]

Just opened my Christmas good food magazine and have some money off codes for Lakeland and Hotel Chocolat and free 8 beers from Beer 52 (£5.95 p&p)
