Thread 18 - the one with the owl pellets

[Reastie]

Thanks @famousthehero for the title. I had no idea you could buy such things and I’m now imagining scores of children getting owl poo as a present for Christmas! They must be popular as they’re now out of stock 🤣.

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

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link or the last word next to the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

Some top tips from thelegohooverer:

My tips are:
check out companies on trustpilot before ordering
be wary of companies that only have email/contact firms for customer services and no phone numbers or addresses (unless of course you enjoy meaningless replies from bots)
keep a list of what you’ve ordered so you can follow up if something doesn’t arrive. Sometimes it’s a numbers game where they’re betting on people not following up on missing orders.
check where things are shipped from, particularly if you need them quickly. I’ve got caught out waiting for the slow boat from China when I thought I was ordering locally.
I’ve started using Revolut to avoid putting in my main bank details (and it helps me budget)

Aliexpress have lots of stuff very cheap, order early as it’s all delivered from China here . Be aware some items are a bit knock off in quality and safety, check reviews and be aware. Clothes can come up v small and take the photos with a pinch of salt as a guide for what you will get.

Camelcamelcamel is a brilliant site that tracks prices on amazon here

I DO NOT NEED THE NEOM BOX 🙈

I also reaaaaally want the neom but I mustn't after the Elemis steal

I have ordered the PJs as hubby says they cannot really charge you but can cancel the order. I am umming over cancelling though...

What was the Neom deal?

@AnotherOne4 www.lookfantastic.com/beauty-box/lookfantastic-x-neom-limited-edition-beauty-box-worth-116/13252756.html?search=Neom+beauty+box

Thanks for the Neom box amazing deal, I'm trying to think of someone to gift it to, most likely me

@sittingonacornflake Ohhh I totally missed this. Shall I shan't I?
@LittleLego shall we just get one for ourselves?

If you are stuck and have no ideas what to give for your Lego loving friend here is an idea: it costs only £749.99 and available from 26th.

Thanks for new thread Reastie!

@AnotherOne4 when you reach a decision let me know as I'm also undecided. Did you get the Elemis deal? I did, and it's hard to justify both.

Love it! Just prompted me to look at the saved link I had for the owl pellets. You now have to join a waiting list to be informed of fresh stock - bet the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary are wondering why the sudden interest!

The neom box is worth something like £110. Amazing deal!!

Just bought the Neom box 🤦‍♀️ For myself! There’s some sort of referral but not sure what it is or how it works. Think it’s for new customers only.

Actually it's £116

The free pyjamas - the description says three times that they are made from premium cotton and once that they are polyester. Who knows?

Definitely, the bargains on this thread help justify a treat...Yes, I'm an enabler

Thanks for the new thread

If anyone else is looking for the new Hot Wheels game for the XBOX Series X it's currently reduced to £29.99 at Curry's. It's the first time I have seen any decent discount on it.

Amazingly deal on Neom, thank you! I just used your referral code @shrubbyelk not sure if you get anything, but fingers crossed

Definitely been stalking all 17 threads and finally decided to post! Loving the title, must say I had to do some googling of owl pellets last night and they did not disappoint!

Has anyone got any recommendations for a skincare set for a man? My husband has to really look after his skin to stop outbreaks and I'm looking for a set that isn't just hair and body wash, but cleanser/ serum etc but I have no idea where to start, I sort of fell into a boots rabbit hole last night, got overwhelmed and gave up

Does anyone have any boden or polarnopyret codes? I always seem to get them when I don't need them!

@Lemonysherbet Kiehl's maybe?

We used to collect owl pellets for dissection when the kids were young. Wish I'd thought to sell them!If you live rurally or near woodland you should be able to find them

Thought I was done then remembered I hadn’t got anything for Dsis (also known as the hardest person in my family to buy for which is a fact she acknowledges!) Any inspiration happily received.

She doesn’t really have hobbies and doesn’t drink, is constantly on some diet or another so no foody presents either. I’m half tempted to get her an Amazon voucher so she can frustrate herself with buying something instead

Can’t even get her the neom deal as she has asthma that seems to be triggered by most scented things 😩
