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!

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

Habent seen it mentioned but Twinings have 15% off their Christmas gifts including their advent calendar.
We had the Pukka tea one last year and every cup tasted strongly of fennel which was disappointing so might try this one. Postage is a bit steep unless someone has a code for free delivery.

Redbubble have a sale on until the 21st using the code SHOPEARLY.
I’ve ordered and the discount paid for shipping

@delahot just a thought re: membership. You only need one main membership for two people to go in. The main member can take a guest in.

Best thread ever. Thanks for the help. Ooni will be picked up Friday - another huge present off the list!

@PizzaCrust We have Duplo and happyland. Daughter loves both but at 16 months has just started to play with the happyland more. She has got Duplo for Xmas though.

@Sideorderofchips hello - I’m going to try to pm you to ask about something non-Christmassy 😊

@Delahot I feel like I am stalking you.

Just checked my inbox and had a referral code for RHS membership. Have sent a pm as it had my name on. It could help if you decide on membership.

Just to say - Journal 29 is available from WHSmiths, as is the second book (Journal 29 Revelation). Using both of the codes - which seem to confer free delivery too - I've just ordered both for £23.02 (compared to £26.51 for the two on Amazon).

@WhyDoesItAlways that would be great, thank you!

Does anyone have an Argos code please? I know probably not as they were all expiring a few days ago. Typically now is when younger Ds decides to totally trash his mattress to a point where he needs a new one

Or if anyone knows where else we can get an affordable single mattress from for a destructive little boy? Lol.

If so that would be so helpful! Thanks

For anyone who has joined the threads recently, Philip Jones (jewellery) still have 50% off site wide with code NEXT50 and free delivery. I ordered about 3 weeks ago and have been back today and ordered more because I thought it was nice: arrived very quickly (next day!) and came with little gift pouches to package things in. Silver/gold/rose gold plated, with things starting from £6 using the discount.

Thanks for the journal 29 tip. Bought it for my FIL who enjoys these things.

Is anyone getting a magic mixie?

Thank you @Famousthehero and @Chunkychipsohyeah I will take a look at both of those

For anyone after a Toniebox, the WHSmith stacking codes work at 25% + 10% as they're in the toy section, which makes it less than £50 for the starter set & just over a tenner for the pre-recorded characters. Doesn't work on the Yoto unfortunately.

How annoying that Victoria’s Secret provided packaging in Next - when I picked up mine through click and collect, I just got Dnieces sprays in a brown bag. Had a quick look on eBay for a little gift bag and they cost lots! 13 yr olds love a logo don’t they?

@Homerenonovice PM sent (hopefully)!

@LittleSquirrels we love Lucy and Tom’s Christmas with illustrations by Shirley Hughes, it’s lovely and old fashioned. Maybe How winston saved Christmas which is designed to be a sort of advent - read a few pages a day. Activity ideas too. Or the Jolly Christmas postman is a favourite too. Mine also like their copy of the Polar express.

Mega Blocks ABC Learning Train now £7.50 on Amazon amzn.to/3lVnBD4

Thank you it just about paid for my postage too. If it stops working: if you download the app you get 20% off (sadly they don't stack!)

Was there a Nike code a while ago that’s still valid?

Can't believe the little people, big dreams books are 2 for £7 I made a detour today and picked up 6. I wish I could get my hands on the whole collection!

Does anyone know if there is a super size tub of playdough. My kids love it.

@5minionstocallmyown

I bought this one recently and was impressed. Check small print as p&p was a chunk on top too.

@Redken24
Tesco has this pack (20 tubs) for clubcard members at £17.50 (half price)
