[quote TheHallouminati]@cymrumam Beanies have thickshake mixes on their website now. I've picked up this one

Thankyou - just the sort of thing I am looking for just the dates are too short as they are out at the end of December and my DD is obsessed with the dates on things

@cymrumam

The individual shakes don't have anything about a short date, so you could get them individually (£2 each) and buy a shaker separately (they're used for protein drinks, so readily available)? Or a milk frother (IKEA do one for about £1, but I know other places do too).

Does anyone have any stocking filler ideas for DS23? I find it gets harder as they get older

Thanks palmleavesandfairylights thats what I was worried about. Although dd loves friends so that box might be ok for her!

End of season sale at osprey; good price for paddle boards if you have an outdoorsy family (I can't justify buying another one but sorely tempted) www.ospreyactionsports.co.uk/osprey-all-sale.html

Just a reminder to check your M&S Sparks offers - today I got free Apothecary hand cream (£4) and Belgian truffles (£5)! I've also had free Apothecary candles and hand gel recently

B&M have for £4 some soft initialled jewellery boxes (travel style ones) that have a cute little dragonfly as the zip pull. I'll include a picture of the insides. Just the right size for inside a stocking!

Anyone who is waiting on the Nectar double up at Sainsbury’s, it’s been scrapped this year. Disappointing because I’ve always done well with this but not surprising really.

Barbie bargain! Car, 2 dolls & wardrobe from smyths toys

Anyone know if sparks still send birthday 20% off vouchers?

Hi guys

Lego classic box is down to £16.66 (down from £29.99) on amazon (free delivery with prime)

Link here

Sorry if it's already been mentioned!

Also thought it might be worth mentioning.. sports direct had a few reduced toys online - got some quite large trolls dolls (almost barbie size) for £3.00 each and a pack your bags board game thing (quite a large box) for £7.00 and a few other bits might be worth a look. I found it better to order the page price low to high as some items were on there twice at different prices.

@Wafflehouse That's a shame. I don't think there will be many sales and codes at all this year due to the increased costs and shortages.

I don't know whether to buy stuff now that's at a decntish price whilst it's in stock or wait 'just in case' and take a risk of not getting things. I've already seen some of the kids wishlists go OOS and regret being on the fence about buying.

Thanks for the asda code, I do my weekly shop online so that will be a nice discount next week.
In my asda today they had bubble wands for 13p. Handy stocking filler for the little ones.

I think the ASDA discounts are usually for your first online order only 😕

I can't find anything official about that. Have you got a link?

pseudocream3 I just find it too overwhelming this year, I’m normally more organised and have followed these threads for years and done quite well out of them and got sorted fairly early but even the dcs don’t know what they want this year and I can’t even get a conversation going with them about it. I think it’s a combo of a weird couple of years and seeing all the daily outgoings going up that has made me bury my head a bit. It might just be Nintendo gift cards and Robux all round this year!

No link, it was internal comms today.

Does any one have any recommendations for girl's jewellery, my DD will be 9

I would buy anything that is a must now. Yes, you might be kicking yourself if it goes on offer or there is a code nearer the time but you'd be kicking yourself even harder if you couldn't get what you wanted at all nearer the time. I adore this thread and am here every year but I think it can sometimes plant a seed in all of us that things are only worth buying if they're cheap, and that just isn't the case. In fact, sometimes it goes too far and we all end up trying to think who we can give a certain bargain to because it seemed too good to pass up.

Not sure if anyone interested but ip10 gets 10% off theYankee candle website think it's only certain things, but I got it off the book advent calendar.

Have been saving my nectar points and was really hoping they’d do the double up so I could buy the kids Christmas pyjamas etc. Tu haven’t done their 25% offer for what seems like ages now.

They're being cagey on Twitter.

When are they announcing? I don't want to spend my points in the toy sale instead and then they announce it!
