Thanks to @friskybivalves for the title

I think we might actually make it to 25 threads!!

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

I’m after a chocolate hamper (not for Christmas but for now, for a lovely friend who’s had a really awful time). Can anyone recommend one please?

@Lovemusic33 ah no they weren't potted

BFSAVE10 give £10 off a £50 spend at Matalan

margaritasbythesea · 25/11/2020 18:02

Until Nov 30th for the Matalan code

Yeknom · 25/11/2020 18:04

Are there any Matalan free delivery codes knocking about? I only want one thing and we don't live near one for click and collect annoyingly

HoollyWugger · 25/11/2020 18:13

I'm after a Secret Santa gift (£10) for a coffee-lover. Can anyone come up with any ideas please? My only thought was a bamboo travel cup type thing 🤷‍♀️

Puffalicious · 25/11/2020 18:16

Hoolywugger my DH is obsessed with coffee. What about 2 unusual coffees- one ground and one beans- with a lovely packet of biscuits/ bar of chocolate. Place in a nice box with tissue?

PositiveLife · 25/11/2020 18:16

Thanks for the master of malt taster set tip. That's another present for myself Blush

Puffalicious · 25/11/2020 18:17

Or a selection of flavoured syrups for coffee with beans and biscuits?

Purpleheadgirl · 25/11/2020 18:22

Has anyone seen the lavazza milk frother on offer anywhere yet please?

Elpheba · 25/11/2020 18:23

I have massive regret about not buying the HC hamper now. Note to self- BE A SHEEP! 🐑

shipperssss · 25/11/2020 18:25

@recklessgran

Thank you so much for The White Company code. I just got the winter fragrance oil for £6.40 delivered. [Just can't justify the cost of the beautiful winter candle.]
I bought the pillar candle for £8 with the code, was the only thing I could currently justify and I really wanted to try the scent. Hopefully it lives up to the hype Smile
IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile · 25/11/2020 18:29

@HoollyWugger Have a look for Kopi Luwack coffee, it's coffee that has literally been poo'd out of an animal Grin I have given it twice as a secret santa gift and it's been very well received at least while I was in earshot

Maddie2802 · 25/11/2020 18:31

@Iwillneverbesatisfied

I'm sorted for my nephew now thanks to this thread, thanks so much!

Just the 2yo girl now.

Both of them have selection boxes already, obviously.

What's your budget? I got my niece a lovely backpack with a doll that had her name embroidered on it leya dolls
Iwillneverbesatisfied · 25/11/2020 18:40

£20 per child.

Cadbury do chocolate hampers for the PP who was looking for them.

Daisy829 · 25/11/2020 18:40

So after sorting the large avocado for my eldest dd, youngest dd wants a large pea!!! What is it with my random children. Any ideas? I’ve seen peas in pods on amazon but I think I would prefer one massive pea!

oatmilkisntsobad · 25/11/2020 18:44

Have I missed the White Company code?? Shock

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 25/11/2020 18:53

Did I miss the Hotel Chocolat hamper? I can't keep up this year Sad

luckiestgirl · 25/11/2020 18:54

Snapfish have their Black Friday offers already.

I just bought 7 photo calendars (large, A3 ish) for £61 as they are 60% off

The code was BCL20

That’s sorted all the grandparents etc as I made all the pictures of their grandkids. One of those and a nice box of chocolates or wine.

BigBadBox · 25/11/2020 19:00

coffee lover coffee beans, no to flavoured coffees and syrups unless you know they like that kind of thing.
Don't think they're doing it this year, but love this.

For anyone looking for something a bit different, there's some lovely rocks and fossils on here and they're reduced for Black Friday.
Got my DH something from here.

livingthegoodlife · 25/11/2020 19:23

Be careful with some of the black today deals. I went up go and buy another set of White Company bedding with their discount. Even after discount it was £10 more expensive than I paid about 3 weeks ago and now pillow cases are extra so another £15.

Gutted as I wanted to buy another set!
