Thanks @Bezzi for the title. Poor old link being colicky 🤣

Has anyone here got the kuddly microwave insert slipper boots? I want to order some from me, to me 😃

Thanks to the poster who recommended Blippo/Kawaii as I’ve ordered the sweets. Found a 10% voucher online too.

Now looking for a Japanese themed box for their sweet stash. Has anyone seen anything around that may be appropriate?

Also, Oculus Quest question. Which is the latest version? I see there’s a version 2 at John Lewis for about £200, it’s on the list but I think ds wanted version 5?

Can recommend Bothams bakers in Whitby for anyone wanting to send a foodie gift. Always beautifully wrapped and delivery is spot on. Their cakes and biscuits are yummy!

Vera Wang princess perfume under £11 delivered at Lloyds Oharmacy. I went in via Toocashback for the £2 reward today, and used WELCOME10 for a further discount.

Yes good shout. Might give it a try.

So frustrating when places happily accept your order and take your money when they can’t fulfil it. Arghh!

Any ideas for a gift for a keen golfer up to approx £30? It’s actually for his birthday next week but I’ve no ideas. I’ve ordered him a scorecard holder but want something to go with it.
I’ve got him the mag subscription for Xmas.

@Lolly12 out of curiosity was it a bargain price they cancelled as they currently still show online at JD sports but at £125 Shock

sepsisandAKI · 06/11/2021 09:59

@Someaddedsugar please could you share the hot diamonds code? I was looking the other day and gave up! Glad you found some they sound just what I’m looking for!

303030 gives 30% off and it's either JEWEL or JEWELS that stacks for free delivery Smile

@coolpattern the Quest 2 is the most recent, think it came out last year. They have had a few different headsets before the quests so the quest 2 is probably the 5th product Oculus has made.

Mrsfussypants1 · 06/11/2021 10:20

@Daisy829 a warm golf hat for this lovely weather Galvin Green is DHs favourite brand for golf wear. A golf print of his favourite course or golfer from Etsy?

Wheresmycider · 06/11/2021 10:29

@guiltynetter does he like Andy's dinosaur adventures on cbeebies? Mine did and so now has an explorer hat and backpack for dinosaurs adventures which he loves.

It was the same style ball but the £25 version. Not really sure what the difference is but he’s not getting the £125 one Shock

@guiltynetter for Dinosaur loving 3 year old take a look at halftoys. Lovely 3D puzzles including a Dino range. Available on Amazon and lots of independents too.

Dogmatix34 · 06/11/2021 10:40

My hot diamonds order has arrived. The packaging is amazing! Looks so lovely, I made another order immediately! Super fast delivery as well.

@Christmasmcchristmasface

Penguin Beanbag Random one but had ordered DS who is obsessed with penguins a beanbag from Amazon was dispatched Sunday and due to be delivered tomorrow but just had notification that it’s been cancelled 😡 as my address is undeliverable (try telling that to the stream of delivery drivers at the minute including Amazon)

Attached is a pic of the one I had ordered - if anyone sees similar can they give me a shout please

I did not know these existed but I am now on the hunt for one too. Another ds with penguin love here. I've already got the Melissa & Doug penguin thanks to recommendations on an earlier thread and PIL are doing the adopt a penguin that someone mentioned too. Smile

@Gooseysgirl

Anyone have an M&S 20% off code? Nothing coming up on my sparks except specific offers that are useless for what's in my basket? Any tips to reduce cost greatly appreciated - on very tight student budget at the moment! Longing for the days of the plentiful 20% codes arriving in the post!!! TIA 💐
I miss those discounts. I’ve had nothing bar a health thing and a video thing all year. Disappointed as I usually shop at Marks and Spencer.
Isabellabasil · 06/11/2021 10:50

@Dogmatix34 please could you tell me the hot diamonds deal details? Sorry I can't find it on thread x

psuedocream3 · 06/11/2021 10:52

@Gooseysgirl No idea if they plan on doing them, I'm sure they used to do them by now if they were going to.

If you sign up to m&S again with a new email, it automatically gives you a sparks membership and the first offer is 10% off clothing ad homeware (I think?) and £5 off a £40 spend on food. Not 20% but still it's something.

I wanted to buy matching pyjamas this year, but with 7 of us, it's around £140 Confused 20% would be a a considerable discount for me!

Isabellabasil · 06/11/2021 10:54

Boots have started their Black Friday deals really early, loads of great deals

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 06/11/2021 11:02

I haven't had any Sparks offers for months. Sad

If you're spending £80 at Whittard's, you can use the code "CELEBRATE" to get a three free tins — one each of coffee, tea and hot chocolate.

Clucket87 · 06/11/2021 11:04

A while back there was somebody looking for Stranger Things stuff.
