Goldenphoenix that owl set is lovely, do you know what age it's aimed at? Thanks Smile

@Notlongnow1 No real bargains spotted to far but
this company seems to carry a large range and have a few items discounted.They give free delivery and 5% off first order if you sign up to their club (which I think just means signing up for emails, though not sure)

But if a random one but I picked up jack jack from the incredibles for £2 down from £15 in the entertainer. I think there might have been other options but sold out in our local store. Quite a few other bargains on the incredibles things for my nephew who’s obsessed with it. If any happens to come across any dash toys please let me know Grin
I also popped into primark and I’m addition to the oodie copies already mentioned our had a black one with the marvel logo in the men’s section which looked lovely. They look a fair bit thinner than a real oodie, however my partner would probably prefer that. I’m just waiting it out for a star wars themed one.

Also the entertainer had 3 for 2 on hotwheels cars which could but good if anyone is making an advent calendar for their LO

@lolarabbit Djecco is lovely quality. If I’m lucky I find it in TK Maxx.

TheBigFish · 05/10/2021 13:32

Does anyone know if it's possible to get Harry Potter audiobooks for a reasonable price (on cd as my two have old school cd players). Have only seen them for £££.

Also DM wants balloon-style gin glasses. Any recommendations/bargains please?

chestermands · 05/10/2021 13:33

@evtheria no recommendations for specific books but I often get great deals on second hand audio books on ebay.

Maddie2802 · 05/10/2021 13:36

Hi everyone 🎄I love Christmas and trying to spread the gift buying over the next couple of months!

And also if anyone sees any jellycat deals! My LG loves these teddies.

Thanks everyone 😍

@TheBigFish I got several packs of gin glasses from Matalan for a girls gin night in our garden over the summer. I was scared the ‘good’ ones got smashed and the matalan ones were 2 for £4. They are lovely quality and do not appear to be cheap.

@EvilHerbivore

I bought the £5.99 wine offer and it's just arrived - not bad! Off to cancel now though!
Ooo is this deal still on? 😊
shash1982 · 05/10/2021 13:54

@TheBigFish tk maxx had some boxed alexxi balloon gin glasses.
They're really good.

Also, not a gift but if you download the library service app called Borrow box & register you can listen to the Harry Potter audio books for free.

ClaraTheImpossibleGirl · 05/10/2021 13:56

@TheBigFish not bargains as such, but these Sunny by Sue gin glasses are beautiful, I've given a few as presents Smile

psuedocream3 · 05/10/2021 14:03

@Maddie2802 Hamleys has a sale on Jellycat and an extra 10% off with code CART10

MarshmallowsOnToast · 05/10/2021 14:13

The £12 is a pack of 4. Not each!

TheBigFish · 05/10/2021 14:13

Thanks for the gin glasses recommendations. I went to tkmaxx yesterday specifically to look for glasses then promptly forgot why I was there... So will go back. Also near a Matalan later so will look there too.

Card factory sell single cards online, just ordered all of ours and it was £2.99 delivery which I think is great as it saves a trip into town and parking etc

Long time lurker, finally taking the plunge to join in!
I’ve just ordered one of the personalised footballs mentioned on a previous thread and I’m now hoping to get a smallish goal to go with it!! Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

mogtheexcellent · 05/10/2021 14:37

@mammyaroundmadness
Im wearing a pair of heart patch turtle doves at the moment. From my experience the felted have less give so unless you have slender hands they may end up being a bit tight. The heart patch are quite cute, I didnt even realise mine had a patch. The pathces are the same material. I've no experience of the slender as have chunky hands. Hope this helps.

psuedocream3 · 05/10/2021 14:40

@Getoutofbed25 Thank you for the Minecraft Lego link this morning, I ordered. I think I "may" have finished middle child's Christmas presents now... if no-one else posts any amazing deals between now and then tot empt me into buying more Grin

Ruralretreating · 05/10/2021 14:47

Can someone link to the personalised footballs please? I can’t find it in thread

17caterpillars1mouse · 05/10/2021 14:50

Has anybody seen a unicorn hobby horse anywhere? John Lewis used to have them but out of stock now. I've seen some on etsy buy way too over budget at around £90 each

thaegumathteth · 05/10/2021 14:50
