Just a reminder to check your Tesco Clubcard vouchers - I was deleting some apps off my phone and had forgotten I'd got the clubcard one. I had £5 worth of vouchers expiring in 3 days and I won't be shopping in Tesco before then.
So I converted to magazine vouchers (x3 value) and have a 3 month subscription to Good Housekeeping on its way. Even better, as the voucher covered the entire cost I didn't have to put card payment details in.

Hi everyone

First year following this thread. I have already brought quite a lot from previous offer links that people have shared. Thank you.

Every year I really struggle to get my nan and grandad a present. Sometimes I get them a joint gift and other items I get them one each. Budget is about £50. Any ideas? Nan is very girly, shopping, fashion, cooking. Grandad likes the tv, gardening. Both like going on days out and eating in restaurants. I am reluctant to get a day out voucher just in case we go into lockdown again over the winter. With them being in there late 70s/early 80s you just don't know if they will be able to use it after.

Also - not Xmas related but I have a christening gift to get for two weeks time. The mum is very good at taking photos so I was thinking of getting one of her photos of her son/family photos blown up in a water colour style print. Has anyone done this before? Or has an alternative idea?

Thank you x

@funnybones1234 I'll pm you!

Poundland had some good books yesterday- various rainbow fairies, Peppa pig and Hey Duggee board books and these crossword/sudoku books which would look nice in a hamper

@doublemix do you have this calendar and can say how big it is. It looks really small from the picture so not sure, even though have a Marvel and Funko fan here who might love it

@casparbloomberg my dd has had the funko advent calendars the box is quite big. The figures are the pint sized ones, same sort of size as the keyrings. Good value if they collect the figures. Shes had nightmare before christmas, harry potter in the past. This year we are debating between five nights at freddys or the pokemon one. (She always gets it as her birthday present in November)

Handy for splitting into gifts. Amazon flash deal

@Emsie1987 my gran loved the bon mamon jams advent calendar last year and on another thread a cookbook called sometjong like Herb has before recommended, which is gardening and cooking covered.

@Emsie1987 this one

I bet the T Rex gets to nipple fiddle though 🙈

Is there somewhere to preorder the funko Pokemon calendar? Thought it was America only? Be amazing if so

"The one with the fuzzy nifflers" is a great title. Or 10 inch nifflers.

Marking

Look what's arrived, my hot chocolate shaker, cannot wait for dec to use it for me the children. I'm now trying to think who deserves the other one

@evilherbivore I did see it on doubleboxedtoys. Don't know if they still have any for pre order. Didn't realise it was for America only, I just saw it on the funko Facebook groups and thought it looked good!

Thanks @nocutsnobuttsnococonuts. DS currently only has the normal size figures but I think he'd like it.

For any Percy Pig fans link
