@Marypoppinsisnosaint I just saw this one when I was looking for advent calendars, it’s gone up from £23 when I looked last night so worth keeping an eye on. Not sure if it’s any good or not but thought it looked quite cute!

Some lovely things in the Cath Kidston sale. Just ordered my DD a pretty unicorn jewellery box for £10 reduced from £16.

I put in my first order with Shein a few weeks back for 13 yo DC. Came to around £80 but managed to get it down to around 50 with codes. Apart from one top, everything was great. The one top was ridiculously small (womens 10 but probably would fit an 8 year old) but as it was only £2.99 it's just gone in the donations bag rather than bother with returning. We got a pile of tops, couple pairs of shorts, little things like a pop-it, headband, dog bandana, socks. Think there was around 15 items all in. Delivery took just over a week IIRC, nowhere near as long as I'd imagined.[/quote]
Do you have a picture of anything you bought for inspo?

[quote Adelais]One Hundred Secret Thoughts Cats have about Humans Book only £1.50 on Amazon. Might be good for cat lovers.

Just as an FYI for anyone looking at this, the reviews state it has some quite adult themes including referencing sex and drugs, so not suitable for cat-loving children!

Vebrithien · 17/09/2021 14:04

I have my Colins!!!

And breathes.

My OK beauty boxes arrived today

(My local independent wool shop had a sale on hyperventilates)

The Poundshop (Poundland) have Halloween and Christmas plates, solar lights and battery powered fairy lights in.

@thaegumathteth I have ordered loads of stuff from Shein/Romwe and never had any real issues- just always look at the reviews for each item first to see if the sizing is good. I tend to order jewellery for myself and stocking filler bits for DD like stationary, hair scrunchies, keyrings etc. It always arrives pretty quickly as well

oatmilkisntsobad · 17/09/2021 14:16

Thanks @Adelais from someone else who bought it with no idea who for 🐑 🤣

OneMorePieceofCheese · 17/09/2021 14:23

Just back from an in-person visit to John Lewis. They had stacks of these wireless headphones, reduced from £39 to £13.75 plus similar ones, which I think were maybe not noise cancelling, reduced from £25 to £8.50.

They are adult sized but may help someone?

Hello! I’m a long term lurker on this thread and I’m looking for magic or princess playmobil bargains!

Could I possibly have a nintendo store discount code please? Thank you in advance

MarshmallowsOnToast · 17/09/2021 14:53

@5Minions2CallMyOwn

I just saw that the train is also on eBay for £9.99 with free delivery- sold by Argos. If you can’t get to the shop or if it’s not in stock near you Smile
Thanks for this. Couldn't find it on eBay but checked Argos again just in case & they had delivery/collection options for £10.00. Was out of stock when I looked the other day. Smile
5Minions2CallMyOwn · 17/09/2021 14:57

@MarshmallowsOnToast That’s great! I’ll add a pic of it on eBay incase anyone else is interested. But glad you managed to get one!

Hi everyone,

I am looking for an academic year diary for a gift for a close friend and cant seem to find anything I like. I was thinking something along the lines of the cath kidston diaries in the plastic covers that they used to do. Can anyone reccomend anything please?

VivaJen · 17/09/2021 15:25

@Elphaba17 I love the Boxclever range of diaries- not too pricey but pretty and designed to work hard. Seriously good for organising

spagbog5 · 17/09/2021 15:28

Vodafone have a candy kittens selection available for free if you pay the £3.49 postage on "my rewards"
I got some of these last year and they were perfect additions to stockings .

MarshmallowsOnToast · 17/09/2021 15:35

@WildWomenDo

My B & M had a whole Christmas aisle with plenty of initial bags. I thought they didn’t have the two I wanted but they were at the back of the last stack I checked. I also picked up some candy canes, long dated and only £1 a pack. M & S also had everything except the halloween tins which are apparently on a ship in the middle of the sea somewhere! Saying that I snaffled the last few FFS Colin hot chocolate stirrers so apologies to anyone who went in after me.
That doesn't stop the Halloween biscuit tins showing up on eBay for £15 Angry🤬

I want one 😭

Purpleheadgirl · 17/09/2021 15:37

Is a there a page where people are listing their unwanted vodaphone rewards again please? Have had a search but couldn't find it

DumplingsAndStew · 17/09/2021 15:40

@CatOfTheLand

Nothing overly exciting just some staples. No pics of DD wearing any of it as she'd rather die than pose for a photo 😂 Have highlighted (badly) the one that didn't fit. Just checked and it was £62 instead of £83, we had a 25% off code

Thanks to this thread I made a trip to M&S and B&M this lunchtime, and scored light up tea and shortbread tins, Christmas star biscuits, a gingerbread musical tin, the last Colin chocolate stirrer in the shop, and three Harry Potter pez dispensers for DD’s stocking 👍 v pleased! Thanks everyone for alerting me!

B&M had the initialled bottle bags, but it looked like the sacks had all sold out! They were putting more Christmas stock out though.

Theimpossiblegirl · 17/09/2021 15:59

My dds love Candy kittens but I need 2 codes. Can anyone help out please?
