Thread 2 - the one with the return of the buns

999 replies

@jumpingintosummer thanks for the inspiration for the thread title, I’m now singing ‘return of the buns’ to the tune of ‘return of the Mac’

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link or the last word next to the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

If you’re posting anything specifically for me please do @ me or I may not spot it. It’s helpful if when sharing bargain info you bold it to make it easy for people to differentiate between chat and bargain links.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

No affiliate links please.

Referral thread here to use for if you’re posting your personal referral link to others.

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it Thanks

@NoWordForFluffy

I think I'll pop into The Entertainer for Bluey soft toys as you can't choose which one you get (20cm plush version) online and I want a Bluey and a Bingo. You'd hope they'd use common sense when you order 2 online, but who knows?!
My DC would both want Bluey so it’d be hard for them to guess! I hate it when they don’t give the option online for what are fairly expensive items.
NoWordForFluffy · 20/08/2021 13:57

Ah, yes, I can see that sometimes you'd want two the same! The no choice thing makes it easier for them to control stock, and not get short of Blueys but have millions of Bingos. Not great when you wouldn't be happy with anything other than a specific selection!

My reindeer placemats have also arrived, so lovely! My DH, who is a bit grumpy about my early shopping demanded to know whyI hadnt ordered more Grin

Blondebutnomorefun · 20/08/2021 14:03

Loving my reindeer place settings too, they came today and wish I’d ordered for everyone I know!

PinkDaydreams · 20/08/2021 14:03

Dock and bay towels are great! I've used them for years, also bought as gifts. Keep an eye on Amazon as a few large towel designs dropped to £10 not that long ago. Dry very quick, perfect for swimming

LostThings · 20/08/2021 14:06

Dinkleboo have personalised Christmas books for half price at the moment - £7.99

Notlongnow1 · 20/08/2021 14:07

@charlieweasley I got 4 large Dock and Bay towels last year on BrandAlley having seen on here and love them. Obviously not fluffy like a 'proper' towel - wouldn't use at home but perfect for holidays/camping/beach trips...

PostPopper · 20/08/2021 14:07

Sorry to ask but would someone mind telling me the reindeer place name seller again please? Meant to order and forgot. Great to hear they are lovely!

MrsPerfect12 · 20/08/2021 14:10

@Willow4987 I've tried these cutter things and even the one with the blade is terrible.

Willow4987 · 20/08/2021 14:12

@MrsPerfect12 ah that’s disappointing!!! I was hoping it would change the pain that is wrapping presents

CharlieWeasley · 20/08/2021 14:17

Thanks for all the Dock&Bay advice. We've booked a holiday for next year so thinking of bulking out presents (plus saving suitcase space). Will keep an eye out for reductions.

Barbie articulation-
Fashionista Barbies (and others that are around £10) will be able to turn head and move at the shoulders and hips.
Some that come in sets (baby sitting, or dog grooming for example) can bend knees so they can kneel down.
Barbie Extra can bend elbows and knees.
Made to move have even more joints, eg wrists and ankles and rotation in arms and legs.
It is definitely frustrating for kids that the cheaper ones can’t sit down properly and their legs just stick straight out if you put them on a chair Grin
I have an avid Barbie fan DD so ask if you need any more advice!

Sokovianfortuneteller · 20/08/2021 14:19

Sorry that was for @Scout2016
I thought I’d replied or quoted Confused

Cocktail Shaker set down to £5.13 from £26

You need to check the 35% promo box and also the 30% off promo below it.

I've ordered one and really hoping I get a particular person in secret Santa to give it to! Otherwise DH will be getting it Grin

Katinkak8 · 20/08/2021 14:32

@PostPopper, I think it was BearandRose on Etsy, but I just had a quick look and I'm not sure that she's selling any reindeer ones any more, just the stag ones.

That's amazing, I got one for DD for uni. Good spot.
Willow4987 · 20/08/2021 14:37

My paddy and Scotts coffee order just arrived and WOW!!!! It looks like an amazing gift. The packaging is really nice quality

Also worth noting, if someone uses your referral code (they get £5 off) and then you do all the things to earn more stamps (like their fb, Instagram etc) you get more money off subsequent orders. I got a second starter box as another Xmas gift for about £15

@UrbanMage

Need to catch up with the thread, which I will do with a brew this avo as I'm child free for the first time in forever!

If you are looking for nice handmade soaps I've just done an order with this lovely human on Etsy and the package came super quick, was well packaged and a total bargain! (Well I think so!) I got two of the £7.99 sets and I think it came with about 10 soaps altogether. They smell amazing!

Scottish handmade soaps

Just ordered some, thank you!
UrbanMage · 20/08/2021 14:49

They smell so amazing!

Scout2016 · 20/08/2021 14:50

@Sokovianfortuneteller thank you so much! I knew none of that and that is exactly the sort of thing I wanted to know. Back to the drawing board for me, so many types and sets!

Bought one. Will be a good stocking filler for DH
