Snack Surprise have 20% off with code BLACKFRIDAY

Snack Surprise were recommended by someone some threads back and I’d been holding out so the first box came next month (although I’m sure I could’ve emailed and asked). They deliver monthly boxes of snacks from a different country. The 20% only worked on the subscription so I’ve ordered and made a note to cancel.

Thanks! I've always wanted to try one of these!

@WhatYouTalkinBout I have joined you and preordered from Game. I think if I can see another one anywhere I will get it too and cancel/sell the game one.
Curries had no more xbox stock added - not yet anyway - switches there are £279

Iggi999

Apparently only the the Xbox series X was available at 1pm,l I have refreshed multiple times for the series s and still says out of stock. There’s a queue for GAME now so I think people have panicked and gone there instead

Yes same! Payment isn’t taken until 7 days prior to delivery so hopefully time to find one that might come sooner then Xmas Eve

I've finally popped out my thread baby (even though I've missed the past two threads by being too pregnant to function)
Can anyone recommend clothing for a long slim baby girl?

Also
15% off at the Entertainer, one use code

15A-NXPR-MXXF-MLDR-SX3X

Oh it'll probably pop up in the next five minutes! Hopefully ds is old enough to understand if it hasn't come on time I hope you get yours on time Whatyoutakinbout

Oh congratulations Tabby, I hope you are both doing well

Not sure if these codes will be of any use to anyone - AO do appear to do smart watches/tech so might help

No idea if this is good value but La Redoute emailed me to say they have up to 35% off fitbits (some only 5% off)

@Delahot not sure if you're looking for an indoor or out door mat but Homebase has several outdoor mats (the bristle type) with Christmas designs.
I bought a nice outdoor one from Dunelm a few years ago.
Garden centres are also a good place to look. My local one has nice Christmas designs on both indoor & outdoor mats.

Congratulations @tabbycat985

@ClaraLane Thank you, it’s got very up and down reviews. But then for the price I might risk it

@tabbycat985 congratulations!
You could call her Baaabera after your fellow bargain hunters 😁

My Aldi mill frother arrived today and I have already tested it out - it's very good at making hot chocolate!

It seems to be the same as my friends velvetiser in now it works. Doesn't make the drinks hot hot but more a straight away drinkable temperature.

Bargain at £20!

MILK FROTHER even

@unkindnessofravens I believe you have to ask for the switch at customer service desk. You probably know that but just in case.

@tabbycat985 congratulations. I find Gap baby clothes quite slender (as the mother of short, chunky boys)!

@Shufflebumnessie great! thank you for the suggestions!

@tabbycat985 congrats! We found Sainsbury’s were the best fit for our long girl, she was in preemie for ages and then tiny baby for months after that too but all their ages were good for length!

AROMATHERAPY ASSOCIATES 25% off with BLACKFRIDAY
P&P applies if

@VividImagination thanks for that. I did go to customer services as a pp had mentioned that was the best bet but no luck unfortunately. They were very cagey about when they might be getting more stock though. Think it might be an early visit tomorrow!

Congrats Tabby!!

I see some people have had issues with Fossil cancelling - just had the email to say my item has been processed but with '£0.00' cost. Bit worried this means it has been cancelled? I used the 15% welcome code against a sale item. It was the perfect present for my DF so would be gutted!

Congratulations @tabbycat985! We found Sainsbury’s babygrows were good for long babies and Next are quite decent too however my 2 grew out of the Next babygrows fairly quickly because the feet bits weren’t massive. I’ve also found JoJo Maman Baby babygrows are rather large but also £££!

@Lockdownlumpy we have this giant unicorn and I really recommend it. It is gorgeous. It's absolutely huge, really soft, and just the right amount of firm to be used as a pillow for lounging as well. I've seen the Asda ones, and think this one is nicer (although I think it is more expensive).

It's quite deceptive though, because it comes vacuum packed in an A3 size envelope. I couldn't how much bigger it got once it was unpacked.

@LionMummyRoar

lovisa have some lovely jewellery bits esp for young teens stockings, like 5 pairs of earrings for £7

Does anyone have an at home beer tap? Thinking about getting one for DH but they are quite expensive so wondering if they are worth the money?
Might make not being able to go to the pub over the festive period a little less painful

I’ve been contemplating the Phillips Perfect draft - this was the cheapest I’ve found it, but it’s gone out of stock now. It’s got decent reviews. www.beerhawk.co.uk/perfectdraft-keg-machine
