@Summerbreeze4

Glad so many got the cooling towels offer, .I was just going to post the offer earlier but others were quicker to link.

On the theme of sports bundles, can anyone recommend a good sports drinking bottle that doesn’t leak. The favourite ones in our house are large blue and yellow lucozade bottles that were free when you bought a 4 pack if drinks. I have bought many others over the years but they all leak and the lucozade ones are now very old.

Been really happy with this bottle, comes in a range of colours and sizes.

I’m glad Nobody’s Child are being well received! I bought seven dresses in 10 minutes Blush I’ve had them via Next before but the outlet was too bargainous to pass up.

PamelaEwing · 08/09/2021 06:37

There you all are!

@Summerbreeze4 I got DS this water bottle a year ago and it's been great, still going strong.

I'd like to use reusable shopping bags this year instead of gift bags. Does anybody know of any charities that sell them?

IggyAce · 08/09/2021 07:04

If anyone has a sheet mask beauty mad person to buy for then I can recommend Vitamasques code:BTSKIN35 get you 35% off your order and it’s free shipping over £10.

I’ve just ordered this bundle with the discount cost just over £11. My teen dd loved these last year.

this bundle looks good value to with discount it’s under £20 for 11 masks.

You could even split the bundle to make up beauty hampers for several people, teacher gift.

Oxfam normally have a nice selection of tote bags

@oatmilkisntsobad

Yes you can make profiles on readly so that you can each have your magazines in your own 'folder'. I think you can log in on multiple devices but i can't be sure

You always can find discount codes for joining too!

I don't know about charities but Tesco often have a good selection. And poundland do some great ones, they have canvas and normal, often Christmassy ones in the lead up too.

If you want massive bags for children the entertainer have them in store. They usually do a Christmas design and various popular characters.

I think Seasalt has been mentioned before for jute bags.

Or you can buy plain canvas bags in bulk and decorate with fabric pens? My dds did that one year, they had fun and a unique bag!

NoWordForFluffy · 08/09/2021 08:05

If you're doing photo calendars, look out for Colorland deals on Groupon etc, as you can get 6 calendars for about £20, usually. Then it's about £7 postage when you order.

Another vote for ion8 water bottles here. Nice and easy to clean too.

oatmilkisntsobad · 08/09/2021 08:20

@withiceplease @bookish83 thanks!

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 08/09/2021 08:25

Random gift advice- DH has shown an interest in a proper archery kit, he always loves having a go at country shows. Anyone here have a clue where I should start?

Yeknom · 08/09/2021 08:48

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight have you tried Decathlon?

BeanyBops · 08/09/2021 09:06

Thanks for the Claire's Accessories tip - I just bought 4 cute little backpacks for my 4 nieces (age 6-8) and filled them with a fluffy pen, cute hand sanitizer and lipgloss each, and I'll add some sweets or chocolates too. I had way too much fun browsing!

Does anyone know how often Hotel Chocolat codes come up? I want to buy pralines for DH advent calendar and if I'm not going to get another code between now and December I should probably buy now...

Sisisimone · 08/09/2021 09:10

20% off at ASOS today with code 20YESPLS. Some really nice beauty gift sets that would make great presents.

Carrie76 · 08/09/2021 09:22

@Summerbreeze4 the camelbak bottles are good I buy the cycling ones

Arthien · 08/09/2021 09:25

Anyone thinking about getting the house shaped light up tins in M&S, apparently they also now have matching £5 shortbread ones in addition to the £4 tea ones.

On a similar note of themed tins, I've just seen this on a FB bargain group, apparently they're 99p in Home Bargains.

NoWordForFluffy · 08/09/2021 09:26

Oh. My. God. I need a nutcracker tin as the kids love them!
