Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it

Oh my god, so sorry for all the typos, I promise I'm not drunk 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ohhh good spot on the Ferrero @mummydoris2006 as that's a good way to get them without the hideous plastic box as well.

@Brogues that's good to know, I'm not going to complain as I got a good price but I am disappointed

x3 Giraffe toilet roll holders, diffuser, and Listified book all arrived today

Re: Giraffe, one Matalan review stated, and I quote:
Not only is it decorative, but also quite heavy. If you had intruders you could take them down with this also. Multipurpose

^ Defo agree. It's what I'll be grabbing in the middle of the night if anyone dares breaks in

@FredaFox When my items came they seemed to be in perfect condition I was really chuffed with what I got for the price. My only issue was that the canisters were really hard to open, I may go back and check them all over again though just to be sure!

@mummydoris2006

Bit of a random one bit I really fancied some chocolate when I was in tescos earlier and they has loads of individual chocolates bars at 3 for £1.20. I grabbed my favourite, Ferrero rocher as the three packs were included in the offer. That meant for a grand total of £1.20 I got 9 individual chocolates. I decided to grant another 3 meaning I got 18 chocs for £2.40. This is more than a standard 16 pack for about half the price. I will be putting them in a posh dish at Christmas and eating my own body weight in them!

Great tip

Just got an email, 3 for 2 on everything at PoundToy. Code is 3FOR2

@mummydoris2006 great idea thanks

@mummydoris2006 will you be putting them out at Christmas, I suspect not many would make it if I bought them now 😣

@WildWomenDo I'm thinking these will be the test batch 🤣. The offer seems to be on all the time so you could wait until it's safe to have them in the house (that would be Christmas Eve for me).

Testing testing, 1, 2, 3… for me

Two very different requests for help please.
Firstly are chillies bottles ever on offer anywhere?
Secondly I need several presents for a soon to be one year old boy for birthday and Christmas. Approx £25 - £30 each but less would be nice. Ideas welcome please. He likes cars/vehicles.

@nicky2512 there were a few Emma Bridgewater chilly bottles last year in TKMaxx but I ended up buying a different brand so keep an eye open.

@Brogues Thanks. I’ll look there. Would be open to different brand if they were good quality.

@nicky2512 Amazon had some (plain colours) for £13 last October on a deal of the day

@nicky2512 wow toys are great for that age. Available in toy shops and on amazon etc

Dunedin have some blankets with 30% off. I’m going to get one for my Mum who is permanently cold.

Well I tried to not screw that link up but clearly not happening.

[quote Daisy829]@torthecatlady barefoot creations have some lavender eye pillows that are quite weighty & they are in the sale. I ordered one for me & one for my mum. My mum has recently been poorly and she says it’s really helped her relax. I’ve lost mine to my 10 yo so I need to order another![/quote]
Thanks I’ve ordered a couple of these

DollyPartBaked Brilliant thanks, I might hold off for a while then.

sorryiasked Those look great!

Can adults have Hype bags?
(Asking for a friend)

If you are looking to have a drier Christmas or have anyone who would appreciate a low-alcohol gift take a look instore at Holland and Barret. I stumbled across this bottle of low-alcohol rum earlier, reduced to £3.12. They had low-alcohol gin at the same price too.

@nicky2512 what about a scuttlebug? Argos have them reduced to£16.50 here

@WisestIsShe Ooh that looks good! Perhaps one of those and then something from Wowtoys.

I really appreciate the help. My youngest is nearly 16 so I’ve forgotten what little ones like!

Tk max for chillies bottles. I have sho which are great and they do keyworker 50%off code. Also hype does own make as well and can use code hype50 which brings them to 7.50 each
