[quote Maranello]Ranked "great" on TrustPilot, in case you think I'm a dodgy hamper purveyor in disguise

Haha! Phew!

Ahhhhh, Hamper-gate!

Re the Scottish hampers ....once past the pop-up re ordering soon....the page is showing as their new items for 2019.....

Didn't the last lot 'use' UPS too?! 🤔🤔

@EvilHerbivore did you find the wine easy to cancel? Mine arrived today so would like to know how easy it is! Thanks 👍

@Maranello sorry to doubt you 😂 it was quite a thing though

Anyone remember the mooing cookie jars? I’ve been here too long!

I think I arrived the year after the mooing cookie jars as I remember it still being raw 🤣

Hello, all! Hope someone can recommend me a great children's audiobook on CD for DS, 7, who has an old-school stereo in bedroom. We bought him the BBC version of Wind in the Willows, and he absolutely loves it (plays it everyday........) so would love some more good-quality productions, but everything seems to be on audible nowadays.

We had loads of audio CDs when mine were small. Favourites were. Paddington Harry Potter Railway Children Narnia Beatrix Potter Enid Blyton (on cassette!!) Secret Garden Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Robinson Crusoe Wind in the willows

You can often find these on eBay, music magpie and in the used section on amazon for a cheaper price.

Wasn't there an uproar over Hush candles one year as well? Or an offer which allowed you to use a money-off voucher with no minimum spend so everyone just bought a candle?!

It was the M&S gin, Prosecco hampers last year but I think some people got them.

Oh there was! They said people shouldn’t have shared and everyone boycotted hush.

There was a to do with a poster one year posting from hotukdeals

And of course the annual fight about it should just be bargains no chat...

I did well last year - I got one of the two hampers I ordered and they refunded me for both 😳

I must admit as soon as I saw the mention of Scottish hamper I checked trust pilot to make sure they were legit. I didn’t order a hamper last time but remember the fall out well.

Yeah. That was a real disappointment!

People had mentioned Hot Wheels and car washes in an earlier thread and I saw one in Tesco today for £18.50.

They also had free from advent calendars and were putting all the Lindt chocolate out.

@evtheria we have enjoyed Worzel Gummidge read by Jessica Martin made by Naxos.

@evtheria, Tom Gates read by Rupert Grint. I bought it for my DS when he was 7 or 8. He’s 13 next month and still listens to it EVERY NIGHT without fail! Never seems to tire of it. My daughter loves it too.

I've just had an e-mail from H&B giving 20% off spends over £25 with code HB20 ending at midnight. Apologies if it's already been posted - I'm drowning in work and haven't got time to catch up on the thread right now. Hope it helps someone.

I actually managed to get two of those m&s hampers last year! Then got pregnant before Christmas and haven't drunk either sparkly gin yet

I got the M and S hampers last year. Definitely one of my best thread finds

Would anyone be able to advise on scooters for 7 and 9 year olds?. Their character ones are on their last legs and getting too small, so they will be getting new ones for Christmas. Ideally under £50 each and must fold. I dont know what brands are ok, or even where to look! Help please wonderful Christmas people!

There's some Globber scooters in tkmaxx for £50 atm - the master should be ok for their ages. Globber

Or for the 9 year old you might consider an Evo commuter scooter, they're 40 or 50 in Halfords depending on wheel size Halfords
