@recklessgran I have used your code-thanks so much. Purchased a premium box just now so there are a few left for those still pondering!

Does anyone have a code for online home store? I suddenly need 3 x hoodie blankets, thanks for the recommendation pp! Thankyou

@Fred56 Whistlefish definitely had some lovely Christmassy ones last year, I got a robin one for about £3-4. Might just be a bit too early?

Ocado have 25% small playmobil sets (haven't compared prices) and some baby toys including a really nice Janod ball track, 40% off stabilo colouring pens and buy one get one half price on books Inc sound tab ones and baby soft books.

Morning all. I've just seen an advert on typo for their own version of oodies they are calling them lounge around they were £40 and there was a code popping up on the website for 20% off. Might be helpful for those who don't want to spend on the oodie but typo stuff is usually good quality

Thanks for this, just ordered the Bored and Hungry me for DS - £32 after the discount!

Joules have 20% off until 5/9 - code 20NEW for new customers but if you're not new the code CODESFIRST gives 20% off and free p+p on full priced items. I've used it twice so far successfully helping to sort out DGD's winter wardrobe - their winter coats are great and the code makes it a bit less ouchy.

Some great suggestions on this thread thank you. Ordered a couple of the lavender pillows & bookmarked loads of things as ideas for next year as I’m a bit too organised this year & am nearly done!

Random one maybe but for the difficult men, I saw this idea on another thread about what presents have been successes. It's a bat detector kit, we get loads of bat's here at night. Thought it was a bit quirky. Usually £25 but £16 now at best price ever

Thanks for the Orbitz tip @DillieDoily, 15yo ASD is obsessed with fidgetty stuff and quite likes his Rubik's and Star cubes so this will be something a bit more grown up and different too

If you have a poundstretchers nearby these are reduced to 49p. Good for teen stockings.

Uno heads game £6 from £20. www.amazon.co.uk/Mattel-Games-GKC04-Uno-Showdown/dp/B085B5JHWB?psc=1&linkCode=sl1&fbclid=IwAR0rsm1zaC0p2CrFMdJ1F7_GOnaPmOW0cd46-NEfx8zd5jR8ui45pxKm04Q&pd_rd_i=B085B5JHWB&language=en_GB&linkId=4b22641590a62c3d0e06968b8c5bfe3b&pf_rd_p=04c46816-8561-488b-9445-40da0379af9c&pf_rd_r=7QEYG4SY0581EBMA2GTY&pd_rd_wg=KK2rx&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&pd_rd_w=KvmIp&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&pd_rd_r=218c2fa8-3b64-4329-93d8-8fde513c391f

And Regatta has a good sale . Got 2 nice sporty fleeces (for me) for £7 and £8 in the same down from £30 but loads of outdoor wear on sale xxx

I know this is a bit random but does anyone have a discount code for the Country Living Christmas Fairs? Tickets are £20 and I do have a 20% code (CLHW1) but normally I'm able to get a 2 for 1 type code. I figured you were the best people to ask

Asda have 25% off VTech toys at the moment!

John Lewis seem to be doing their 20% off LEGO deal again - it's only off orders over £200, but can save you a fair chunk of change if you're planning on gifting some big LEGO sets. Offer available through your My John Lewis account (free to set up)

Just spotted you can get 15% off spends of £85.

15% off £85 spend - MYLEGO85

20% off £200 spend - MYLEGO200

Bit of a random question...
We've been doing the ONS covid study and they send vouchers via sodexo/vouchershop. I went to exchange a load of vouchers for amazon vouchers last night to pay for xmas only to discover that Amazon is no longer on their list!

So does anyone know of a shop that will let me pay for amazon gift cards using the shop own giftcard? Eg could I go into Tesco and buy an amazon gift card using a tesco giftcard? (asda say online that you can't).

Kids Velcro play food, only £5.94 for 71 pieces!

@Tinysnickers it’s really annoying isn’t it? Maybe look at the selection available and share here and someone might pay for the same amount in Amazon gift cards in exchange for your voucher code. Hope that makes sense. But yeah it’s annoying it’s no longer available at Amazon.

@ItsAllBlahBlahBlah thanks so much for the bat detector idea - I love this thread as never in a million years would I have thought of that myself. It's the perfect present for my electronics loving 16 year old great nephew with large garden and bats/owls etc flying around at night. Brilliant!

@recklessgran aww that's brilliant, I am really pleased

Tinysnickers so gutted Amazon is no longer on there. I'd been saving them to get an ipad for dd for Xmas 😭. I think John lewis is on there so will have to go through them

Another QVC TSV pre-launch offer this time on Nails Inc 6 piece 24 Karat Life collection plus bag for £29.98 + £3.95 p&p. Don't forget to get £10 off with a referral code for new customers.

Also Nails Inc have a summer sale on. Looks like some good discounts on there.

It's frustrating as there are lots of things that I just can't buy from JL or the other places. Lots of books for a start.
I can spread it out over other shops but I will end up paying delivery or driving all over the place for click and collect.
I'd use vouchers for my food shop except that my nearest are aldi and lidl and they aren't on the scheme.

My sister bought this and DD who is 20 months loves it. There are lots of small bits though.

@DillieDoily Thanks, I've just ordered the Rubiks Orbit. First present bought for difficult to buy for DS.
