Thread 6: Oh FFS Colin!

[RainbowPhilosophy]

Here you go @Reastie

oakmilksonotsobad I'm happy to spend around £100 but if a good deal come up for a bit more then i would. Thank you for the John Lewis recommendation I'll check that out.

butterflymum thanks for the link I'll look now

Thanks for all the suggestions for DS, I've added some bits to a wish list so the grandparents can chose but atleast I've done some damage limitation! I picked up the toy supermarket and the playhouse so absolutely no room for anything else here this winter 😂

@Sallylovesdaisy

Just loving this thread! New to Mumsnet so this is a revelation for me. Superdrug are offering 10x points today only

So sorry, just noticed it's on certain hair products only, doh!

@spudsuliked

Oops code would help! It's EXTRA15

Thanks for this! I hate ASOS for being sly putting their prices up when there's one of these offers on. Had my eye on a pair of trainers which always end up full price when there's an offer......not today though! Last pair, already reduced then a bit more off with that code so thank you

There's 25% off The Spicery advent calenders today :)

@PinkDaydreams I know exactly what you mean! I tried every code on google yesterday to try and get a better price as there's always a code around but I think the sale plus code is actually a good price even with their up and down pricing! Glad it helped.

Night before Christmas hardback book. £17.99 down to £5.51. Although not a available until end of October.

@DollyPartBaked

For 16 months I would go with duplo, if they already have duplo from older sibling it can be added for better builds and if not 16 months is a great age to start a collection. My 5 year old still loves it.

The usbourne sounds books are also lovely for that age, we had woodland sounds and nighttime sounds but they do many others. I've bought them a few times for similar aged children and they are always well received

ocado have 20%/25% off of some Lego, playmobil, janod wooden toys etc and offers in baby books/toys

Extra 20% off sale at Boden with code D7E7

Has anyone seen somewhere selling the Twinkly strings 400 light set please? Got an email from Lights4Fun this morning offering 20% off everything but they’re out of stock 😭

20% off Christmas lights at Lights4Fun with code 100DAYS20

Boots are offering upto 15% off Beauty.

Hi, not posted on this thread before. Don’t know if this is any use to anyone, sorry if already mentioned.

Local Co op has Terry's chocolate oranges reduced to £1 today. Were £3.50 yesterday!!

Any Lakeland discount codes around? Would be very grateful!

@dementedma they're always £1 in my local Asda so worth checking around.

Looking for offers on lady electric razor or recommendation for good one.

Wanting to buy one for teen but no idea which ones are decent ones as I use use hair removal cream but she is wanting a razor.

The Julia Donaldson book is beautiful. Thank you.

@TummyTurtle I’ve PM’d you a couple of codes

Not a bargain, sorry, more a public service announcement!

I often see people recommend drink as a gift for people you don't know very well and would ask people to reconsider this unless you know that they actually want alcohol.

There are also a lot of people making a concerted effort to cut down their drinking, or even stop, and the pressure of society to drink, particularly over the festive period, is high enough.

Also, thinking back to the newlyweds, our first married Christmas I opened 4 bottles of booze, having just got a positive pregnancy test, and had to spend the day pretending to drink as it was such early days!

I dont think this is really the thread for a public health announcement. We've already been splurging on gin, beer subscriptions, whisky, Hotel chocolat, sweets, bargain chocolates, cake mixes and Japanese snack boxes I think a bottle of bubbly is a pretty standard token gift for newlyweds and if they don't want it at least a consumable is easily regifted and not likely to end up at the back of a cupboard or in landfill

@Sisisimone apologies, if my post makes people uncomfortable I am happy to remove it. Is more the idea of buying alcohol for people we don't know that I find a tricky one. Perhaps I am alone in that and as I say, no offence intended by it.
