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 🤣.

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

London orbital slide for two virgin experience days voucher is reduced to £23.99 instead of £34.99 at very in their Black Friday deals. I’m tending to buy more experiences and tickets this year to cut down on ‘stuff’ ( and also cos I had PJs and a Harry Potter jumper cancelled & missed out on owl pellets whilst trying to decide how many I needed!).

[quote HolidayTime2021]If people want gnomes or Christmas gnomes. Not reduced but given the work that goes into them pretty special. And lovely people. They are really fabulous (I have no connection found them by accident- 3 gnomes later I am hooked)

We stumbled across Pixieland last summer. OMG that place is creepy . I'm not a fan of gnomes though 😂

Thank you so much @bluesky - I love the design on the labels!

Thank-you @EverybodyKeepCool for the cream tea recommendation - ordered as a treat for my dad who I haven't been able to visit for ages.

My PJs were also cancelled

@Raindancer411

My PJs were also cancelled

And me.

@Oneborneverydecade I placed an order with Olive and Sage for the fairy houses on the 2nd November and haven’t heard anything since the confirmation email either.

@SpamIAm thank you - I added something else, applied the code and then removed it and managed to get the discount that way!

I chased Olive and Sage this week for my order. They told me that everything has now arrived in the UK but there is a delay in getting them from the port due to lack of hauliers, but they are expecting them to arrive in drips and drabs over the next few weeks.

@Oneborneverydecade

I placed an order with Olive and Sage for the reduced gnome and fairy houses etc on the 31st Oct and heard nothing since the email confirmation. Has anyone received their order?

I placed an order on 25th October and it arrived yesterday. It was dispatched last week but then delayed with the delivery service I think.

Ah glad it worked for you in the end @Rubyroo73 ! Now I just need to decide who to take with me 😂

Great company, used lots.
Huge range of different tablecloths. Plus different sizes and “weight”.
You can even get a Christmas one! 🎅🏼
Have used one on outdoor table so definitely hardwearing.

Finally got my Spicery Mezzo kit. Really nice and well packaged. Dd's bf will love it

Oooooh @farnworth I'm heading down a rabbit hole here...the choices, the choices...
Fantastic thank you

So I caved and ordered the neom.

So now I've ordered Elemis and Neom. These threads have a lot to answer for....

Just treated myself to the Neom set. Thanks to the poster. It's a great buy.

@ItsAllBlahBlahBlah
PVC fabric at dunelm?

@Room4onemore I'm not sure if the Lego store itself does discounts, but apparently if you join their VIP club (free) they occasionally send you discounts and offers? Worth a try!

@Oneborneverydecade

DS9 has recently started tennis lessons. He has a racquet and I've bought him a bag but any ideas for stocking fillers gratefully received please.

I also want to get DS15 some free weights (can't stretch to a bench). I was thinking Decathlon?

I've ordered the Dunelm bath toys and Neom LF set thanks to you guys

Tennis balls Sweatbands Sports top and shorts Slazenger socks Water bottle

Is it possible to get a PlayStation gift card that is an actual card rather than a downloaded code?

That's interesting. Their site is styled like a small UK company making little garden ornaments. Not one that's importing mass produced products from overseas.

[quote Myfanwyprice]Not really a bargain, but got the starter kit for ds from here and it is brilliant, really lovely razor and products, plus a lovely booklet with instructions on how to shave and puberty in general.

This is a lovely gift for a teen, don’t know how DS would feel about the wee puberty book though 😂

I know this isn't very Christmasy but I'm going to ask for new glasses for Christmas- does anyone know of any offers on eye tests and/or glasses pls?

Laithwaites Wine Deal - 12 bottles for approx £60

Laithwaites Christmas Wine

I was looking for this for a while and think I've sussed it out!

If you buy their Christmas selection (12 bottles for £119.99), you can stack codes.

Firstly - go through Quidco (3.2% cashback)

Then, use code REV40LWQ2 to take £40 off and get free delivery.

Then I was able to stack a Bluelight Card code on top of this too for 10% off. I imagine other discount schemes will work too.

Finally, at checkout it gave me the option to sign up to take £15 off my order by signing up to their wine club (which you will need to remember to cancel).

I got £120 worth of wine for about £58, plus scored 3.2% cashback.

I had a similar deal last year, and the Dark Corner wine is delicious, and a lot of the others made excellent teacher gifts.

I am loving this thread, I'm a newbie and I'm so grateful for all the info. I have already bought the Argos 2 for £30 toys, a neom box, and some Origins bits. Thanks all!
