Thread 8 - the one with the giraffe toilet roll holder that

[Reastie]

@AnotherOne4, thank you for introducing us to something that sounded so wrong in the thread title. Also loved the review you shared:
‘ Not only is it decorative, but also quite heavy. If you had intruders you could take them down with this also. Multipurpose’

@MahMahMahMahCorona

I have been following these fantastic threads since July when they started out with nutcracker diffusers, Christmas tree tins of tea lights and Brussels sprouts ketchup. All of which I have in my drawers. Seeing the prices of each item today I'm pleased that I bought in bulk. All (wider) family members are now sorted.

Now I need to think for DC11 & DC10 - stockings and main presents. They are Pokémon MAD so I bought four booster packs from ALDI when they were discussed on these threads a couple of weeks back. Also have four bottles of child's farm coming and will add toothpaste / brush heads / pants / socks to stockings.

Any ideas for big tree presents / stocking fillers would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Just me imagining a massive pair of pants stuffed with nutcracker diffusers, tins of tea lights and sprout ketchup then?!

@MotherOfGodHoulYerWhisht if you still have the code I'd really love it!

@Tigger83 i sent it to you - hopefully you got it

AZ1E19T86BNQ- Argos code for free delivery. I can't work out who is still looking for one but hopefully someone can make use of it!

Can anyone recommend a pokemon Nintendo switch game? DD has asked for one but there’s loads! Not sure which one is best

@MarshmallowsOnToast what are the dates like on the syrups from Amazon? That’s always my worry

On an earlier thread people were discussing gonk merchandise. There were a few gonk things in The Range today, including this gonk paint your own mug for £3.99

Sword & Shield both decent. How old is DD?

You can 10 percent off Halfords if you are an AA member, and can get a £20 voucher if you take out insurance through the confused website if you have any due

To those who mentioned Rose’s tins…. It’s a Cath Kidston tin this year, I got one from Tesco earlier! @TheGirlWhoLived, the books I got included two National Trust books - Comfort Food and Scones - a Nadiya Hussain book, some Usborne Sticker Dolly Dressing Books, Fingerprint art. I can’t believe the stuff they had. The guy said come Christmas you can’t get near his stall. I hope you get good stuff too!

@MeredithGreyishblue she’ll be 11 next month. Preferably one that is 2/4 players

[quote xmasdealhunter]@escapeyou we've got these slushy cups (bought in the summer) and they are pretty decent, the top review explains how to properly use them. I wouldn't bother with one of the plug in machines x

Thank you.

Thanks for link to personalised Quality street.
Decided to look for other personalised gifts, saw on Etsy personalised Nutella labels that you can stick on jars you just buy in supermarket which helps keep cost down.

Just seen this on latest deals. Chupa Chups lip balm down to 80p. Might be good for stockings

Does anybody have any ideas for an 11 year old girl?? I can't think of a single thing that she would like! 😩

Sorry to go off topic, but can anyone recommend little mini shortbread like that in the M&S Halloween tin set? I have a food averse almost 3 year old and this is his first new acceptable food in more than 6 months 😳 I need more until I can convince him that normal shortbread is the same

Are they that bad? Mine are set on the carrera make that only halfords do, as all their mates have them

All their mates possibly have them as they're more affordable. They are really weighty, and I think even at a reasonable cost, pretty overpriced for such heavy bikes. Also recommend frog as PP for a younger teen, although the street cred probably isn't there with frog for much over 13yrs. We went for (can't remember the exact name now) something like a "Trek Specialised" on Black Friday and got what should have been a £600 bike for £374. The carreras are around £300 I think, and the difference is significant. DS friends are constantly riding his, because it's so light and it looks so much cooler.

I guess it depends how set DS is on having the same as his friends, but I'd strongly advise against the bikes from Halfords.

M&S sell bags of them, but Christmas tree shape.

Most of the supermarkets do mini rounds in the bakery section, not sure if they would do

@CamdenLurker @CeeceeBloomingdale thank you a million! It's so long since I shopped for shortbread I thought I was asking for something special Now I feel foolish

The 11-year-olds I know are in to crystals/rocks/geodes, stuff to decorate their rooms, hot chocolate, jewellery and accessories.

Do they like any of those things? If so, could think of more specifics

@PoirotAndHisMoustache that would be great if you don’t mind?
