Thanks @GoblinDaughter for the title

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

@Theimpossiblegirl the everyday witch Tarot cards are easy to read - it’s a lovely starter set. They sell on Amazon. There is also a lovely thread in philosophy that you could direct her to with a lot of incredibly knowledgeable posters.

Would the Glastonbury shops be open this weekend? I also need a starling picture for my sister. Thank you.[/quote]
Yes 😊 pretty sure they are open as of Wednesday.

Claire's have 50% off almost everything, plus a £10 gift card if you spend over £35

sorryiasked · 01/12/2020 08:58

@TakeMeToYourLiar would this one be any good? Extra 20% off if you tick the voucher box.

@Doordye they can also be found in TK Maxx! Although apparently BODYCOACH10 gets you 10% off Chillys but I've not tried it myself.

@TakeMeToYourLiar

Help please.

We gave DS his advent box today, which he confused with his stocking.

Apparently Santa is sending him a super powerful robot.

Any ideas what I could buy that fits the Bill??

He's 4, so the toddler toys won't be "super powerful" enough, but the really cool looking ones are 8+ and likely to be beyond him!

Argh

I saw this robot in costco which is available online and fits the bill www.costco.co.uk/Toys-Baby-Child/Toys/Vehicles-Action-Toys/Lexibook-Powerman-Max-My-First-Interactive-Robot-4-Years/p/1431463

Candy Kittens sweets in a jar 250g for £2 in my little Tesco express this morning picked up two of the wild strawberry flavour to add to stockings - they also had the sour watermelon flavour available Smile

@xoxogossipgirl2020 sorry no luck. Walked round the clothes section twice

MsMiaWallace · 01/12/2020 09:34

Are we thinking Kevin the carrots are available in store from the 6th?

They're being a bit cloak & dagger compared to past years aren't they?

Iggi999 · 01/12/2020 09:35

Right going to Primark. I may be some time..

Adelais · 01/12/2020 09:39

I don’t suppose anyone has seen any Powerpuff Girls stuff have they? Dd1 loves it but other than ppg Lego sets I haven’t seen anything else.

PinkJam · 01/12/2020 09:45

Happy 1st December everyone Smile

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts Love how you’ve set that up, the box looks fab Smile

PinkJam · 01/12/2020 09:49

@Adelais I just had a quick look and google has shown some bags, key rings and earrings. Etsy have some little stocking filler type bits Smile

Whydidimarryhim · 01/12/2020 09:57

Iggy999 - you may be some time. It’s tomorrow the 2nd they reopen. 😀

Are you queuing a day early? 😂
ClosedAuraOpenMind · 01/12/2020 10:01

@Adelais I'm pretty sure I've seen Powerpuff Girls plushes on Amazon
you could probably also try Tedbubble for T shirts?

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 01/12/2020 10:02

sorry Redbubble not tedbubble 🤦‍♀️

MarbleTrack2 · 01/12/2020 10:07

@Famousthehero
That book looks great - just ordered it - same day delivery in my area so hoping it arrives before DC bedtime - if not we will have two chapters tomorrow Smile

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 01/12/2020 10:09

Thanks @PinkJam - I figured this group are the only ones who would really appreciate it so I had to share! 😉

25% off Bloom & Wild with code EHM69 - up to midnight tonight

Clementine8 · 01/12/2020 10:24

Gutted i missed the decathlon free delivery. I’ve had some bits in my basket for a week, went to order yesterday not even knowing of the free delivery but got distracted with a teething baby 😭

Has anyone seen any deals on aquabeads? We have a late addition to the christmas list.

Love the idea of a north pole breakfast, i’ll have to steal that idea for christmas eve.

buckeejit · 01/12/2020 10:28

Has anyone bought from Our Generation before? I've 2 dolls arriving sometime & just want to check if they'll be concealed as the package will be massive & dc will want to know what's inside 🥴

This is the first year they've been package curious!

Howmanysleepsnow · 01/12/2020 10:34

@Clementine8 I have a spare box of aqua beads if you want? Got sent the wrong one and the company replaced it but as I’ve no printer and we were tier 3 I couldn’t print a return label. I asked if they could post out a label but they said to just keep the extra set. Happy to post out if it helps?

SkintSanta · 01/12/2020 10:37

@MsMiaWallace ours has a sign on the door saying they will be in store from the 6th so I would assume that's the date they're all expecting them. Apparently they've had a lot asking for them.

Autumnwoman · 01/12/2020 10:41

Molton Brown faulty card people. Who are you contacting about the dodgy card? The magazine people or Molton Brown themselves?

Could anyone give me an email address to complain?

Thank you!
