@Youvegotafriendinme

Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of a family photo calendar. I Usually buy DH one every Christmas from photo box but now there’s 4 of us and DS is in school, their normal calendar just doesn’t have enough room for me to write everything in so was looking for a family calendar (with 4/5 columns) that I can add our own photos to. Thank you

I'm eyeing up funky pigeon for their multiple column calendar.. not sure yet though so will be interested to see if you get some other recommendations!

Boden code for £10 off a £30 spend....if anybody actually buys from them anymore. needs used by 22/11

This looks good

Nintendo switch pro controller. We've had a few non branded ones and never had a problem.
40% off so £8.99 worth a punt!

Does anyone know how to get free delivery or collect in store for hôtel chocolat? My usual freedel30 code isn't working so this renders the money off a bit negligible.... thank you:)

Magazines Direct are offering a free Hotel Chocolat advent calendar (worth £8) on any subscription
Doesn’t work with offers like 6 issues for £6 but otherwise seems to apply to all subs
Eg 3 months of 442 mag is £11 odd but also applies the welcome gift
Also 10% cash back on TCB
Maybe worth a look if you’re buying a sub anyway. Offer runs out tomoz

[quote IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile]@bigarse1 I have also been looking, Amazon often have them on daily deals for £179.99.[/quote]
Thanks. Will keep an eye out for them

Thanks!

@saltedcaramelhotchoc I think it’s freedel35 now and the spend has gone up accordingly

@newdad19 thanks

@Runforwine

Can anyone recommend books for a 6 year old reluctant reader. He's into dinosaurs and space. Thanks in advance.

@Runforwine I'm a bit behind, haven't RTFT yet, so sorry if it's been mentioned, but the Astrosaurs books might be good, it's a series about dinosaurs in space and there are quite a few books.

Does anyone have a discount code for Matalan? Spend will be £59 but I can search for more stuff if I need to increase the spend.

@saltedcaramelhotchoc try Freedel35. Minimum spend 35 though

Hope this isn't a x-post but Aldi Xmas jumpers might be of interest if you have teens who might want to wear them ironically

@Runforwine - try the Alien Adventures books. Proper learn to read phonics books with actual plot & all about space.

Thank you both for hôtel chocolat delivery code! I was wanting to spend £50 so £35 is easy;)

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl

Temptation Gifts has an early Black Friday event with at least 20% off everything - brands include Jellycat, Harry Potter and Yankee Candles.

Thank you Reastie for the new thread!

I’m a bit wary of this sale - they are the same company as campus gifts but prices seem to vary massively. For example I bought this Ted Baker jewellery roll for £18 a couple of weeks ago which is still the price on the campus gifts site but it’s £32 on the temptation gifts site! I do think £18 was a bargain so there are some good bits available as long as you do some due diligence.

I'm thinking of doing Christmas eve boxes for my two toddlers, looking for boxes that can be reused each year. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

@Opal8 I was just after something a bit fancy really. Paper and lamination would work.
OOoh @EveLe yes! I like this idea.

Knew someone would come up with something

@Isabellabasil Matalan have these but then Wilko, Asda and other stores usually sell theM. Last year they had plastic stacking boxes with a Santa circus theme and I got those.

Forgot pic

Does anyone have a matalan code please?

Paperchase 50% cash back currently on Quidco- also a voucher on there for 10 off 50 spend which can be combined

Can anybody point me in the right direction for a yoga mat?
DH has decided he wants to try yoga, so I don’t want to spend lots (up to £30) but I don’t know the first place to start.
Thank you.

@AnotherOne4 - I had one of these personalised wallet inserts made for my grandad from etchandcutt on etsy- it was about £5 I think. I'm now thinking I should get one for myself too!
