@Clucket87

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.

Home Bargains did them a few years ago, I bought one and it was fine, still going strong, was probably less than £10. I haven’t been to a Home Bargains in a long time though so not sure if they still do them, hopefully someone else will know!

Yay! Three cheers for @Puffalicious, the Christmas Elf, sorting out Aldi Christmas lights for me.

These threads make me so happy, it's a lovely, kind corner of Mumsnet.

@Clucket87 TKmaxx usually have loads of yoga related stuff

Ah I’ve ignored all talk of dinosaur related things! (I remember there being lots mentioned on a previous thread). And now my godson who’s three would like some 😭
Can anyone be kind enough to point me in the direction of some dinosaur related bargains for a three year old please? £30 budget, don’t mind if it’s one gift or a few smaller ones. Thank you!

@animalthedrummer - I really love Lanka Kade toys. They do lots of wooden figures and really good value. You can get a set of six wooden ones for £18, or you can buy them individually for £3 each (they also do different ones to those in the set).

@noscoobydoodle Thanks very much for the idea. I've just ordered five cards from here here

You guys are great!

Can't remember the exact username - think it was @oneborneverydecade? But the five quid urban outfitters duvet cover set is showing up for me again and seems to go through to checkout fine... duvet set

Hi im looking for the magformers carnival set if anyone has seen it on offer anywhere? Also does anyone know if magformers are the same size/compatible with connetix tiles

@Clucket87 I got my last one from home sense. But asos sell them too and someone mentioned a 25% off code previously.

@nightcap I've just tried to check out and at the last page it says, out of stock. Thank you anyway.

And someone has just helped me. The kindness on here is not to be underestimated

@Isabellabasil I got ours from the laser boutique /small family run and they engrave lovely wooden things.

In hindsight wish I’d started with a 1st December Christmas crate - as they get older you don’t want stuff before Christmas morning but I still give a new Christmas book and pjs, gingerbread house and clothes to use throughout December. I find it harder and harder to fill 24th.

Has anyone opened their kocktail Christmas collection? Are they bottles glass and do you think they'd make nice token gifts split up, or would they not look as good on their own?

Ps the HELLOTEN code for £10 off still seems to be working for me

@manyoaks
It was www.willowandstone.co.uk/

Same gift wrap prints in this site, slightly cheaper and the ones I wanted were not sold out here!

I've been looking at getting Hooded Owls towels for my kids. They look like a great idea but they're expensive. Has anyone used them and can recommend? Do they ever do deals or discounts?

Has anybody seen any good deals on beer please? Either subscriptions or boxes would be good.

Thanks :)

@chillimice yes they’re glass bottles. You could definitely split them up as individual gifts. Each one has an ingredient card and then a little bag with the garnish. I guess you’d just have to check whether any of them share a garnish. I’d check for you but I’ve wrapped mine already

@Clucket87 there’s quite a few already discounted on ASOS and the code LTK25OFFASOS will give you 25% off

I’m looking for a few codes if anyone has them…
The Rex London
Matalan
Any Star Wars Lego bargains?

I have some many tabs open on my phone because all of the suggestions here!

Just to say thank you for the hotel chocolat free delivery code - it worked. Many thanks!

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads Thank you so much. The second two are exactly what I’m looking for!

Is anyone on the look out for the oculus quest 2? What do you think will the best price for it?

Does anyone have a food processor recommendation?

@Isabellabasil I got a hinged wooden box from Hobbycraft and some wooden letters from the range for DS's name and Christmas Eve Box. Painted the letters red and sparkly and stuck them on. Worked a treat. If I was doing it again I probably wouldn't get a box with a lid, one more like a crate.
