@Tinysnickers the code ENJOY30 takes 30% off stuff in the outlet, plus some other stuff. There's a link on the homepage which shows everything that's eligible. After that the 15% code stacks.

Thank you @Wolfcub! Finally managed to bag some 🎉

NoWordForFluffy · 11/09/2021 19:33

@Wolfcub

And I'm on the lookout for a cheap kids telescope or something else space related to boost a gift from the royal observatory
Apparently they're pretty useless if they're cheap. We did countless hours of research and cheap = shit! I go for something else related to space. How old is the recipient?

@TellMeDinosaurFacts

Does anyone know of a gift list app that allows multiple users to share a record of what's been bought for whom, which will allow access via both android and ios? My husband and I would like to share a to keep up with what each other has bought, ideally on a nice quick app like GiftList rather than something like a onedrive or dropbox file, but he has an iphone and I have a Samsung and I can't find anything that would work...
We use Listonic for things like this, it's designed for food shopping but you can set up multiple lists which you can name whatever you want (DD1, DN, DAunt etc) and we both are able to read and add things in. Simple but does the job.

@NoWordForFluffy the recipient is 6

NoWordForFluffy · 11/09/2021 19:50

@Wolfcub, I can really recommend this book for that age.

mumofpickles · 11/09/2021 20:00

All of the national geographic space books are good for this age up too my boys love them age 6 and 9

unexpectedthird · 11/09/2021 20:02

@Wolfcub my Aldi has the Usborne Look Inside Space book for £3.99 at the moment which is a bargain.

RainbowPhilosophy · 11/09/2021 20:08

@Tinysnickers there's a sale section at the top of the home page, where things are already reduced. I shopped in there and used the code ENJOY30 as per the screenshot attached plus the 15% off your first order signup code, so I stacked two codes.

@MerylSqueak

Does anyone have any idea if Marks and Spencer will be doing a 20% off anytime soon? I have been waiting ages already!
Me too but I'm guessing they won't be doing them this year, so many shops suffered during lockdown I think they are trying to limit offers, although you wouldn't know that on here!
sorryiasked · 11/09/2021 20:23

@Wolfcub this one has excellent reviews and it's half price.

@ TwinsandTrifle can we please see a photo of the stocking? X

SpamIAm · 11/09/2021 20:27

The New Look sale has lots of beauty bits (charcoal cleansing pads, bamboo face massagers and that sort of thing) that might be nice if you're splitting the H&B boxes, for bulking them up a bit.

NoWordForFluffy · 11/09/2021 20:33

That one looks really good, @sorryiasked. We never bought one in the end as it was really hard to get an even semi-decent one in budget.

My older child has had the jungle set for 3/4 years and still in perfect condition. Has a 25 year guarantee. My youngest will be delighted with this in her stocking :)

Thanks for the SSB recommendation. Have had an email apologising that order cannot be completely fulfilled as they were suddenly inundated (I wonder why!) but offering a choice of equally lovely alternatives. Very personable customer service :)

Just made a box. They are delicious warm. Me and oh had three each Grin Beware they do take while to make, as you have to let the dough rise. Big thumbs up though.
NowWeAreSuckingDieselFella · 11/09/2021 20:59

I am so late to this thread this year! Have got the cooling towels and also the £6.99 splash mat someone posted for DS summer birthday next year!

Just popped on to say someone posted earlier about the Lindt sharing tin and linked to Wilkos for £15. Saw it in Tesco today for £10 (it's about half the depth of regular Christmas tinned chocolates though)

WhereTheresAHill · 11/09/2021 21:03

@FiloFaxx and me… 🙈

PaddingtonPaddington · 11/09/2021 21:11

@FiloFaxx so did I! I think it was the feedback that they actually make nice buns and thought they would be good little present for my Parents

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 11/09/2021 21:12

Typo wireless earbuds have arrived and I'm so impressed that I've ordered 2 more pairs. Amazing for £6. The picnic blanket looks good too!
