Thread 13 - the one with the day of the cardboard boxes

[Reastie]

Thanks @bizzey for the title, which tickled me! The day of the triffids? Nope, it’s the day of the cardboard boxes!

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.

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

Thank you to the posters that mentioned the Prezzo three course meal for two and the WHSmith stackable codes, I've just had an expensive lunch break and have mainly bought presents for myself ......but have finished DF's Christmas presents by buying a Rick Stein cookbook.

Just seen a pp mention festive fabric bags, does anyone have a link to these? Thanks

I’m after a hobbycraft voucher too please. Or if anyone has insider knowledge on when/if the paint will be on sale.

Also after recommendations for an initial necklace I want to get myself with the kids initials. Doesn’t have to be a bargain (but won’t hurt!) I want something solid that will last

Thank you! Also works on iPhone!

[quote Ourlady]I'm after ideas for little table gifts. Last year I bought these personalised love hearts. Great for only 99p a packet.

Here's the link if anyone is interested www.swizzels.com/shop/personalised/personalised-giant-love-hearts-place-name-settings[/quote]
Above message was for @BonnesVacances.

Ugh god and thanks to @Ourlady ordered the love hearts

@Ewock, I got from here on recommendation of another poster.

They were very reasonably priced, arrived quickly and look lovely - the proceeds go to charity too! Can't wait to use them :)

Thanks for the WH Smith codes I wasn't originally thinking I would need it until someone mentioned getting pokemon elite cards from there. Didn't even realise they sold anything like that lol
So managed to get the £43 set for £28! And free delivery as over £20. This was on my list, so brill!
Got the codes to stack fine and checked out as a guest so no issues

[quote daisyboo1]@Ourlady thank you for the Swizzles link. Not doing Christmas crackers on the table this year so these will be ideal with a scratchcard in a festive fabric bag, with the reindeer place names on the table - both from previous thread![/quote]
@daisyboo1 you're welcome but what about The Hat?
You've got to have a hat or it's not Xmas dinner🤶

@Ewock
These were the ones I got. I think they were somewhat cheaper so may be worth watching for a while.

@Ourlady ahhhhh. May well be a flaw in my plan there!

REV20 gives 20% off at revolution beauty.

I have two codes if any ones needs. They are one off though so pm if you want 20% off vans and a 15% disney store.

Whereisthisgoing 3rd nomination for bamboo socks. That's all I now buy for me, DH and my teen boys. BAM are excellent, however, TK Maxx always have some in store, always, and are much more bargainous. They are so bargainous I buy plain black for school socks. I got a fabulous striped/ spotty/ geometric set for DS2 the other week too.

@WhereIsThisGoing
Swole Panda socks are lovely and soft and they seem to wear well. Not particularly cheap though, about £10 a pair.

@WhereIsThisGoing I’ve bought some from the Sock Shop in the past. They are the only socks my DD will wear as she is a fuss pot.

Also @WhereIsThisGoing there seems to be sale on. Sock shop

I have the bright trainer socks and they are fab!

@Ewock

I'm thinking of making my own- simple rectangles sewn together on 3 sides then closed with lovely ribbon.

Anyone got a good tip or link for bargainous Xmas fabric? Just light cotton would do.

I have a 20% off Lakeland £50 spend or a 5% off a £30 spend which I'm not going to use.

DM me if you can use it!

I have got a couple more fabric sacks from Home Bargains, www.bmstores.co.uk/products/alphabet-sack-with-gold-embroidery-assorted-374106 £7 (but not very original, there's a thread about them)

I can’t get the code to work for buyagift 😩 have I missed the deal?

@Whydidimarryhim

Marshmallows- I’ve just bought it for £5 - look again

I still can't get the play dough cash till for £5.

Anyone got a direct link please? 🙁

I am looking for a light / projector that will show an accurate depiction of the night sky (for a young teen, rather than a nightlight for younger children) if anyone can suggest anything? The ones I have found don't seem to be "real" constellations!

Or alternatively a glow in the dark large poster to stick to the ceiling!

That's fab thank you so much. Now I just need to work out which size will fit the lovehearts!

@handmademitlove That sound very nice idea. I would get one of them too!
