Thread 2 - the one with the return of the buns

@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

Please help me. I got DS a magic flannel last year and it’s probably the present he’s talked about most (🤦🏻‍♀️). He says that he would like Santa to bring him a magic flannel with a reindeer on it this year… I can’t find one anywhere! Any ideas?

They have them on Amazon and eBay

Probs been beaten to it but oodies are buy one get one free on selected styles. Never seen them that cheap before.

PatchworkElmer · 20/08/2021 19:04

@CatOfTheLand Amazing! can you post a link? I’ve already looked on both sites and could only find one option on Amazon, which was ‘unavailable’.

HoHoJ0 · 20/08/2021 19:05

@Willow4987 I bought a wrapping paper cutter just like that a couple of years ago for a couple of pounds from eBay and it’s a game changer. All my family have them now. I wouldn’t be without that or my heavy sellotape dispenser.

For anyone who was dithering Me over the super cute dog accessories from Hugo and Hudson linked up thread, the code DELIVERYAUGUST will get you free delivery. This weekend only.

Purpleheadgirl · 20/08/2021 19:12

@Malibukev do you know which ones are in the oodie buy 1 get 1 free offer please as I can't see any :(

TwinsandTrifle · 20/08/2021 19:13

Cox and Cox have just started listing their Christmas bits. Highly recommend for very long rolls of beautiful wrap and ribbons. 20% off site wide with the code at the top of their page.

oneofthose · 20/08/2021 19:20

@PatchworkElmer they are definitely not a bargain but 6 reindeer magic flannels in 3 different designs for £9.99 here

https://www.webddevsz.com/index.php?mainpage=producttinfo&productsid=432771

The amazon and ebay ones that are currently out of stock might come back before Christmas so might be worth waiting?

torthecatlady · 20/08/2021 19:53

Thanks @WisestIsShe That would be amazing. I've wanted one for so long but could never justify the cost!

MrsCrimbo74 · 20/08/2021 19:57

I’m so pleased you all liked your reindeer place names, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy Smile x

Goldenphoenix · 20/08/2021 20:00

Thanks @IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile I just ordered a collar and lead for £10! Bargain!

Malibukev · 20/08/2021 20:00

[quote Purpleheadgirl]@Malibukev do you know which ones are in the oodie buy 1 get 1 free offer please as I can't see any :([/quote]
There was the unicorn, reindeer, corgi and sloth.

I'm not sure if it was time limited as when I put them in my basket there was a timer below. There was a code as well I'll see if I can figure out what it was.

MissMarple0203 · 20/08/2021 20:06

Does anyone know where sells Morph toys? Thanks

Purpleheadgirl · 20/08/2021 20:17

@Malibukev thank you!

NoWordForFluffy · 20/08/2021 20:20

I think Morph is a bit out of date for toys, @MissMarple0203. There are book ends on eBay, but that's about it.

Someaddedsugar · 20/08/2021 20:52

@TwinsandTrifle you can get £20 off with a referral code too - I think it's £20 off a £25 spend. I know quite a few of us go Christmas wrapping and decorations last year!

PatchworkElmer · 20/08/2021 20:56

@oneofthose thank you so much!! I’ll wait a few weeks and see if a cheaper option comes up. Otherwise I’ll buy the set and redistribute the spares to friends for their kids.

Someaddedsugar · 20/08/2021 21:00

Sorry @TwinsandTrifle ignore that - they've changed the offer to £25 off a £75 spend which doesn't feel as much of a bargain!

Christmasshopper31 · 20/08/2021 21:07

Just been to B&M lots of gardening stuff reduced. Children's little gardening sets and a few decorative planters but lots of decorative bird houses. Bought a few bird houses for £2 each for grandparents presents.

I literally just got home to my parcel containing them, they are so lovely! They smell nice too (like burning wood which reminds me of Christmas!)

Thanks so much for the Tony & Guy straighteners link. Exactly what I was looking for.
