It’s nearly December, Father Christmas is busy putting the final touches to his toys on the workshop and we are busy elves preparing for a somewhat different Christmas this year.

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

@MrsCrimbo74, how did you get free delivery at Molton Brown please?

Help - I’m a nightmare to buy for and I’m being harassed for a Christmas list but I can’t think there is anything I want. Person harassing doesn’t want to give a gift card as it’s not a ‘proper’ present Hmm. Probably a good idea though as I tend to spend it on someone else. Just had a birthday so swamped in the soap and bubble bath I like. Not into music, don’t wear scarves, jewellery or make-up, don’t use candles, no books I want (have a kindle). Don’t have time or inclination for ‘experiences’ particularly loathe spa days. Not a particular foodie and I don’t have any hobbies. I have suggested one of those charity ‘send a cow’ type of things and that has been firmly rejected because it’s not for me (well yes that’s the point). TBH I’m barely keeping my head above water with work and family and sorting everyone else out - I don’t have time for this crap.please help me with some ideas..

Spotted this bargain on hotukdeals:
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Eau De Cologne 100ml and 20ml set for £55 delivered (£60 off!) from beautybase using the code HUKD60

Yeknom · 29/11/2020 19:39

Ooh @JetJungle that is such a bargain. I wish I knew what it smelt like, my parter sometimes buys the turquoise one as a proper treat

JetJungle · 29/11/2020 19:45

@Yeknom Its gorgeous - fresh, citrus and clean. I absolutely love it!

Luxplus · 29/11/2020 19:47

Just started wrapping and feeling like the kids have to little for sinterklas. So bought a nail polish drier and know in the hunt for nail polish box cheap? Will then make a joint gift for them.

HarkTheHeraldAngelsSing · 29/11/2020 19:49

[quote Thehollyandtheirony]@HarkTheHeraldAngelsSing do they have to be recycled cashmere? If not, there is a good Black Friday sale on Johnston’s of Elgin. Only red cashmere wrist warmers left but still lots of colours in gloves. A great deal for £25 with free delivery.[/quote]
Oh no it doesn't have to be recycled at all so will have a look at Johnstons - thank you!!

Yeknom · 29/11/2020 19:57

@JetJungle I know their scents are unisex but would you say it leans towards male or female? I guess I could order one and either do husband or my mum Grin

JetJungle · 29/11/2020 20:05

@Yeknom I think its slightly more masculine. Having said that, I wear it because I hate floral scents.
Which lucky person deserves it more ..... Grin

weebarra · 29/11/2020 20:08

I'm awful, I've just bought the acqua Di Parma for me! I got birthday money and bought one of their scents, I love it!

Yeknom · 29/11/2020 20:20

🐑 annnnd ordered! @JetJungle thank you so much! If it works for my husband I think that's him finally done 👏.

The Turtledoves gloves I ordered for my Grandad arrived yesterday and they’re lovely and soft! Plus the wonderful folks there picked a blue pair for him after I sent a cheeky email asking for blue as it’s his favourite colour.

Dolphintrainer · 29/11/2020 20:30

@Yeknom I’m only just catching up with this thread and the Wax Lyrical Dad candle is £8.99 now. Wish I’d have seen it for the £4.99 you posted 😩

Yeknom · 29/11/2020 20:37

@Dolphintrainer gah! Sorry to hear that. They often pop up in my 'recommended' bit of amazon (probably because I bought 3 winter ones for teachers), I'll let you know if I see any others for under a fiver x

Dolphintrainer · 29/11/2020 20:56

@Yeknom thanks, yes please let me know if you spot them again near that price 💐

Baileyscoffeeandcampfires · 29/11/2020 20:56

My laithwaites order just arrived . Pretty impressive service considering that I only ordered on Friday afternoon .

Cashback has tracked into Quidco at only £1.78, will have to see if it improves and gets confirmed . Also not tracked on my Lloyds cashback yet but a huge bargain regardless

Rockhopper81 · 29/11/2020 21:00

@JetJungle - thank you so much for the Acqua Di Parma set, my dad loves it, so just passed on to my mum for him. It's a great deal!
