@AlvinSimonTheo

Rocket and Rose fiver Friday T-shirt's are personalised Christmas ones. Loved ours last year but delivery took a while!

Thanks for this idea. Sadly they’ve sold out by the time I spotted them but they’re very cute. Do you know if they do the fiver Friday deals regularly?
StormInAGinGlass · 11/09/2021 00:20

Can’t comment on how they will arrive etc but I’ve ordered a couple of these, men’s and women’s, seem like a good deal on hush puppies slippers

Gravitrax extension kit has 55% off, down to £8.79. You do need to have the starter set too though.

@Burnt0utMum you may have missed his earlier in the thread, but Superdrug have half price perfumes. I had a look and some good prices. If you’re looking for a teenager, they had Versace red jeans £15 - I used to live that when I was a kid, but far too sweet now!

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 11/09/2021 06:49

Argh I missed the gravitrax expansion pack as I was asleep. Hope it goes down in price again.

My cooling towels came in two separate orders although I obviously ordered them together as they were BOGOF. Planning to pop in to TKmaxx today or tomorrow as they have some good fitness stuff for the hamper I'm making!

Does anyone have the bling gin code please? I keep scrolling back and I can't find it their bottles are beautiful. This is my first year on this thread and it's addictive! Thank you for all the offers I have made a cracking start with cinnamon buns cool towels footballs and am awaiting my H and B box ... fingers crossed for that one as I am yet to hear about delivery!

There’s loads of good deals on Lego at Asda at the moment but the one which caught my eye was the Mandalorian Brickheadz for £12ish down from £18ish. We got them last year for a similar price but they shot up before Christmas and they’re a brilliant stocking filler or gift for a birthday party. It’s the type of thing you don’t need to be a Lego fan to appreciate. Really cute too - who doesn’t love baby yoda ?

Recommend these acrylic paint pens for anyone looking for a stocking filler or even a Christmas activity. Brilliant for rock painting or making Christmas plates or mugs. You just draw your design, leave for 24 hours then bake in the oven for about an hour I think and allow to cool. We’ve tried a few different types of acrylic paints and these are the best for the kids to handle as they are a bit more precise.

They also appear to be on a lightening deal on Amazon at the moment down to £11.55. Don’t know if that will be available all day or just until the deal is done. You never can tell. They’re only around £14 usually so still a good price.

Just came on to post about the amazing Asda Lego deals and saw two other posts about it Grin You guys are so fast!

@Burnt0utMum we have these controllers for the switch and they're fairly robust and working well, plus you can carry some cartridges with them. I paid about £35 for them a few months ago though, so might be worth holding on to see if they go down in price a bit more, they sometimes have a voucher too.

PhantomErik · 11/09/2021 08:58

Daisy829 How about a notice board for her room? One side dry write board, the other cork. You could get some colourful pens & pins to go with it. Lots of stationery reduced at the with back to school events.

Dressing gown or fake oodie are nice big presents & not too pricey.

WisestIsShe · 11/09/2021 09:05

I've bought dh a lovely wallet from the Fossil, extra 30% off including outlet here
Sign up to the news letter for a stackable 15% off code and free delivery/returns. Wallet was £55, reduced to £38 down to £22 ish with the codes but there's loads available in the women's bit too.

I remember similar last year they great deals. Oddly when I was in the 3 Asda’s yesterday on hunt for the fish tank Lego I spotted this in each one but they were priced at £49 on the tags. I wonder if they had wrong prices? Anyone buying in store make sure you get the reduced price.

SomethingOfTheNight · 11/09/2021 09:11

The portable firepit mentioned earlier has 20% off now if anyone missed out on the 30% offer.

@Whydidimarryhim

I’m so envious re the H @ B boxes - they are great. More bargains ahead I’m sure. 😀

I am too!

Does anyone recommend the kids echo dot? I want to get it fir my 4 year old but not sure if irs any good? Thanks

Daisy829 · 11/09/2021 09:27

@PhantomErik she has all those things already unfortunately. I had a look on hobby craft & they’ve got a few storage draw type things I think she would like. I also remembered her craft supply holder is broken so I’m going to try to find a new one for her. Hopefully a nice wooden one.
Thanks for the ideas though.

Daisy829 · 11/09/2021 09:31

@CatOfTheLand wall decals is a good idea. Thanks.
