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’

If you’re posting anything specifically for me please do @ me or I may not spot it. It’s helpful if when sharing bargain info you bold it to make it easy for people to differentiate between chat and bargain links.

Hotel chocolat code for free delivery was FREEDEL30 , not sure if it still works but worth a try. It was for orders over £30.

@summerbreeze4 look on amazon for uniqwen oversize hoodie but there are lots of other brands. Have tried to attach photo.
I'm 5ft6 and a bit and it comes to my knees. Plenty of room for me and I'm about size 14.

@Famousthehero I saw those puzzles too, it's an American site and postage for the medium giraffe was around a tenner so it was just under £20 in total

@Comefromaway

Wow, I've got some catching up to do. I can't believe that I used to be searching for minecraft/star wars/lego/claires accessories bargains when I first joined these threads and now I have a 17 and 20 year old!

Tempted by the giraffe toilet roll holder for dd except she doesn't have her own home just a room in a shared house. But she recently started working at Lion King and is always telling me about elephant and giraffe sides and the logistics of the animals etc etc. I've bought children's jungle wrapping paper for her as a joke!

Thinking about the Primark avocado fake Oodie. Ds has one from Amazon his girlfriend bought him last year and it's great quality. Wonder what the Primark one is like.

The giraffe toilet roll holder would be a perfect bracelet/scrunchie holder or even make a nice doorstop 😉

@TheCrow yikes! Thanks! I get loads of marketing from overseas, don't the algorithms know how cheap I am??
I guess maybe worth it for somebody going all in on puzzles...

@Allmyarseandpeggymartin

Does anyone know if Hotel Chocolat ever do discount or free delivery?

Keep an eye on QVC for a hotel Choclat. They usually do big bundles towards Christmas as a TSV.

Some nice beauty boxes here from Next.

@Cantdecidewhich

With the Tapo smart plug I used code ALEXAHOME and it took it down to £4.99. Hope this helps somebody :)

Thank you! Was dithering, but just ordered one.

Does anyone know if I can plug this into a socket then plug an muilti-extension cable into this?

@NightOwl19

Djeco have a lovely horse stencil set, though admittedly I can't remember what age it was suitible for and I only have little ones so may be way too young but thought I would mention. I'm sure you could probably get a more grown up book of drawing horses or an adult colouring book of horses if that might be of interest for stocking fillers though

Love this thread. I have already stocked up on Jaques of London, several of the kids books, discount gin and a Typo order (I wasn’t impressed with the mystery box sadly but I guess it’s just luck! At least a couple of good items there so not all lost!)

I’m looking for special wooden puzzles (grown ups not kids) … ideally the Wentworth ones or similar.

Has anyone seen anything like that on offer?

I’m pretty sure the Claire’s and Smiggle offers are in store only

@IAmNoAngel @escapeyou Thankyou

For the perhaps slightly older Harry Potter fan they had this scratch art kit for only £2 in the Works. Thought could be a good stocking filler for some one.

They also had lots of festive craft kits for £1 (make your own reindeer bauble this things) which would be good for a 1st December box. Age 8+ as it looked like sewing was involved.

@DumplingsAndStew yes I can plug an extension plug in to my smart plug to do all the Christmas tree lights in one go.

@Motherofplants does he have a console? maybe some 'skins' for the remotes of it? link

The puzzles look amazing on the Facebook ads but trust pilot reviews are not good at all. They seem to hide behind lots of company names.

@deeplybaffled I've heard the 'Yawn Brew' ones are meant to be good, although I haven't tried them myself

@Okkaaayyyy this kit here is £8.49, and apparently if you create an account you get free delivery x

A few Schleich dinosaurs almost 50% off on amazon at the moment :)

@xmasdealhunter thanks I'll check it out.

Has anyone seen any razor deals

Is anyone else having trouble with the Tapo smart plug Amazon code?
I've added the code and it has a green tick and says to type it in at the checkout, but then it doesn't accept it.

Not seeing these. Could you post a link or a screenshot if possible please? 🙂

@Cantdecidewhich was this the Amazon plug you ordered? I can’t get the code to work so not sure if they don’t like me or if I’ve got the wrong plug! www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Z942YWS/?tag=mumsnetforu03-21
