FESTIVE20 gives £20 off a spend of £20 or more at Celtic & Co I may be misremembering but I think they were the ones with the sheepskin boot liners that we all ordered one year.

Would anyone like to make a prediction about when my elusive Lookfantastic advent calendar will arrive? It’s edge of the seat stuff with email updates every day or two. So far they’ve predicted:
02-03 December
19-21 November
23-25 November
And the latest one is saying or around 26 November.
Forget tracking Santa with NORAD- this is far more exciting!

Thanks - I think that link gives you £20 too!
Used it to get 2 pairs of sheepskin inserts for my and DH's wellies fort £4 plus postage. Perfect.

Evening you lovely lot - does anyone know where I can buy some bargainous jumpers/hoodies or tops for my nephew - he's nearly 16? No idea what that age group are into

[friskybivalves]

@nowordforfluffy you are a diamond! Thank you so much. I know I know. Am prepping to LTB as we speak. Are Lakeland vouchers not sacred? He also binned my Matalan stash and the Landsend catalogue with my personalised code (but their stuff make me look a total frump so perhaps for the best )

[NoWordForFluffy]

I agree re Landsend; their clothes don't suit me either!

Your DH definitely needs to learn some lessons. 😁

[Sweetpea84]

Does anybody have a Lakeland code pretty please? Thanks 😊

@Sweetpea84 I have £10 off a £50 spend - any good?

[Sweetpea84]

Yes please what a star please pm me 😊

@MummaPl - Found this article which might give you some craft box ideas. The Sew Darn Sweet box looks like a good value. I wonder if anyone has tried it? Oh dear, I have now found myself thinking I desperately need a craft box for myself! I already have a Craftsy subscription which I like but its a site with lots of videos, patterns etc. rather than any actual 'stuff', so maybe not so ideal for gifting.

Does anyone know where I can get rollerblades please? Adult shoe size (but for dd). Hoping to get decent quality for around £30-50 but not sure if that’s possible. I’m probably better off waiting till Black Friday aren’t I, but where’s the best place to look? Thanks!

[thaegumathteth]

@badmarciathemarsha how much are you thinking of spending?

[badmarciathemarsha]

@thaegumathteth looking for something below £30 if possible

[Poniesbest]

DS has just asked for a PlayStation- I guess I should be pleased that a PS4 will be fine according to him! Does anyone have a discount code for curry’s or Argos who seem to have them in stock? Curry’s has a cash back if you sign up with virgin WiFi but we’re already with them so not eligible!

[bigchanges1]

Thank you for the Hotel Chocolat codes - I’ve had Festive Bestesellers in my basket for ages and can now get it delivered for £43 using those codes.

In case anyone remembers from a few threads back I asked for advice for getting a PS5 - I managed to order one from John Lewis this morning & it’s meant to be delivered by DPD tomorrow. I won’t completely believe I’ve managed to get one until I actually have the delivery tomorrow though...

[yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear]

Sorry everyone but this is about as un-bargainous as you can get but... I just stumbled upon this website...

£6000 rocking horse anybody?
Actually, I really, really want the little carousel!

[yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear]

Oh, and thanks for the new thread @Reastie

[IDontDrinkTea]

Hope these help someone

All the talk of chocolate made me think - I have a friend who loves chocolate biscuits. The M&S luxury Belgian chocolate tins are delicious, but I’d like to get some from a small company if possible. Is there anywhere like that, that does reasonably large biscuit selection boxes with thick chocolate?

[lexloofah]

yafilthy they are having a larf aren't they! £120 for a kids hairbrush???

[Ridikulusness]

Does anyone want a case of completely free beer from BEER 52 ? No p&p.
I have a golden ticket that was included in my last case. It’s not a referral as far as I know (so no rewards for me ☹️) but I’m presuming you would have to subscribe.
I think it’s just the usual freebie case to entice membership but without any p&p!!!!

[Bluezoo123]

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight debating on whether to get a standard palette with 50% off or whether if a wait James Charles palette will become available again for dd

[TheDrsDocMartens]

The Harry Potter Grawp one isn’t a bad price.

[GirlWithTheYellowHat]

@Sunshineskies try skate hut? I have quads, as do my kids but they generally sell decent stuff

[yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear]

@lexloofah I hadn't noticed that £120!!!
