Hi wise shoppers! :) Can anyone recommend a personalised Christmas sack company? DD has some sensory issues so it can't be hessian or have pompoms (or at least not pompoms that aren't easily removable). I love the Sophie Allport ones but they are a little grown up for her (even though they'd look great in my living room!). Thanks so much.

They're £15.49 with free p&p on eBay if that helps?

Oneborneverydecade · 14/11/2021 09:11

@oatmilkisntsobad I can't help unfortunately but wow that seems expensive for what it is

CantStandMeow · 14/11/2021 09:12

Oops @oatmilkisntsobad my comment was for you, not sure why it didn't reply! £15.49 on eBay.

@BeaLola thank you for the Lakeland code a couple of threads ago, sorry I’m just catching up. I did join
Akeland but ended up buying a heated blanket from Amazon as I couldn’t get the codes to work but thank you very much.

@Delahot

Has anyone seen a River Island discount code? After this thread it’s impossible to check out paying full price 😂
@delahot I've PM'd you a 15% off
Restlessinthenorth · 14/11/2021 09:15

Oh I take it back! BLACKFRIDAY worked when I changed my product. What an absolute bargain! Tempted to order something else too. Can't quite work our what is in the beauty box; any ideas?

Autumnleaves4 · 14/11/2021 09:15

@HadEnoughOfBears. Thank you for confirming the Asda voucher is still working.

Oneborneverydecade · 14/11/2021 09:17

@oatmilkisntsobad are you allowed to go off piste? That looks like a Chinese brand (who sell a lot of tat).
What about this similar product?

@blueberryladybird if you're a new customer to Very and open a credit account they usually offer a decent amount off. I used them last year for a macbook that I couldnt find in stock anywhere else. I went through topcashback too and then selected the buy now pay later at checkout and got I think 6 months interest free and about 50£ off, or similar, so well worth it.

ChristmasCatBells · 14/11/2021 09:18

Incase it's of use to anyone there are a lot of discount links on the Craft Gin Account. Incase people haven't spotted it, 15% off in lots of places.

@CantStandMeow

Oops *@oatmilkisntsobad* my comment was for you, not sure why it didn't reply! £15.49 on eBay.
Thanks I'll have a look. And yes @Oneborneverydecade I think it seems expensive for a plastic vibrating ball!
Autumnleaves4 · 14/11/2021 09:19

@Twonka thank you confirming the dressing gown voucher, absolutely gutted, had one in my basket with the code Friday morning, couldn’t decide between 2 and dithered in checking out, returned to basket Friday evening and the code no longer worked. I’ve never known a code stop working midday, usually they work until midnight.

So I am back to needing a nice present for 85 year old DF, any ideas, budget £25. I had been trying to find a wool v neck jumper but can’t find any nice ones at that price. The dressing gown price was unbelievable, free postage as well. Sad.

Unfortunately DN remembers having one like it when she was young so wants the same for her DS

oatmilkisntsobad · 14/11/2021 09:23

@CantStandMeow can you please post a link as I can't seem to find it on eBay? Thanks

ChoccyJules · 14/11/2021 09:25

Oops also went onto Lancôme! Will make sure I gift the beauty box set to justify my new make up…

doistayordoigo · 14/11/2021 09:26

Does anyone have a Lakeland code please?

buckeejit · 14/11/2021 09:28

@Wonderfulstuff they had lovely velvet sacks with initials on them in B&M last year & before. Not sure if they have them this year.

Landsend do the most beautiful needlework stockings which. An be embroidered with names. I have them for dc & adore them

Autumnleaves4 · 14/11/2021 09:28

Also missed some nice earrings for my sister at hot diamonds by dithering which went out of stock. Any other offers for Sterling silver jewellery?

On the plus point I have bought from
WH Smith’s
Spicery
Cool cloths
Life venture beakers
Amazon Lego
Holister clothes
Look fantastic Beauty box
QVC bare minerals
Boots £10 Tuesdays
Various board games recommended
Lloyds heated cushion

I am sure there is more. Loving this thread, having a very difficult time personally with an awful divorce and this thread has taken so much stress out of my Xmas shopping this year. A HUGE THANK YOU EVERYONE. Grin

IslaInthesun · 14/11/2021 09:31

What do you get in the Lancôme gift set I it's still on offer? Thank you

IggyAce · 14/11/2021 09:31

@Wonderfulstuff would the ones here be suitable? I’ve purchased Christmas decorations from this small business & they are fab so I have every faith that the sacks will be great quality too.

mum2jakie · 14/11/2021 09:36

@OneMorePieceofCheese

Did anyone get an order confirmation from Lancôme? I got a PayPal receipt but nothing from Lancôme.
I paid by PayPal too @OneMorePieceofCheese and only had the PayPal receipt. I took a screenshot of order confirmation though
Haveyoubrushedyourteeth · 14/11/2021 09:39

@autumnleaves4 try the woodland gift company for silver jewellery. I've recommended on these threads before, so probably sound like a broken record, but I've always been very impressed with everything about them.
