@CoffeeAndEnnui thank you so much. I love flying tiger and missing Hema.

@JanuaryEl5ieBill

Any advice on the best place to buy individually wrapped hot chocolate stirrers or bombs? The DCs are looked after by all the nursery staff between them so I like to get something small but lovely for each staff member and there's 12 of them.

Need to be veggie as most staff members are Muslim so can't eat marshmallows with gelatine in them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The M&S Colin the caterpillar stirrers are really lovely and are suitable for vegetarians.

@CoffeeAndEnnui

After an attempt during lockdown that spectacularly crashed and burned just as we all got excited, Flying Tiger now have a website that actually loads and lets you buy things! Flying Tiger is fab for crafty bits, stationery, Christmas baubles, quirky home accessories, sweet treats and random toot you didn't know you needed (often shaped like random objects from your youth).

Those mourning the loss of Hema will probably enjoy this one.

Oooooh how lovely. (Do they charge import fees do you know - if you've ordered anything from them?)

@Redundancygirl

Are there any discount codes around for JD? I know there is APP20 but this is for reduced items only. Unfortunately the stuff DS13 wants is all still full price!! Thanks in advance.

I can give a 10% code but I expect they'll do something for Black Friday if you can wait?

Bigjigs have a good sale on - all sorts of toys not just wooden railway

Just bought dd some lovely lambs wool Fairisle gloves www.celticandco.com/womens/womens-accessories/lambswool-fairisle-gloves?issearch=true with the £20 off FESTIVE20 code, were £6.95 delivered but they’re great quality and lady for years their wool gloves

Does anyone know if apple do anything for black Friday please? Looking to buy an iPhone 13 Pro, preferably with an offer, but also needs to actually be in stock! Just want the actual phone as DS has saved up for it

I've just bought myself a massage gun that I didn't know existed a week ago. DS15 asked for one for Christmas but I decided to get one we can share. £35 cheaper because it's pink

@Cheermonger can I just double check that code please? It's not working for me, they may be onto it, a few years back they cancelled lots of our orders of insoles if I remember correctly?

I can’t get FESTIVE20 to work on Celtic&co website. Anyone else being told it’s not valid or has expired?

In case anyone is interested, Stripe & Stare have a sale on some of their lounge/PJ bottoms and (in some cases) matching vests, for example this I have some of their vests and knickers and they are unbelievably comfy. Would never buy their clothing full price because it’s just so expensive, but have just snapped up some bottoms and vests half price. Very tempted to get some for myself, they are so soft and comfy!

@runforwine the Project X Alien Adventures was a obsession hit with my son - they go from reading band 7 all the way up into the free reader range. I got 30+ book sets (series 1 and series 2) for about £1 a book, they're a bit harder to find now (I can find the first set on ebay for £35 total, and the second on books4people for £33) but definitely cheaper to buy that way than individual books or book band sets.

If you are spending £40 or more at Matalan, the following code saves you 20% on full price items: SAVE2040.

And thanks everyone for reading suggestions for DS! I’ve made a list from all that’s been mentioned and will get him a selection. Really appreciate it, I should have taken note of the posters and tagged but I can only find some of the posts now, really sorry!

Has anyone on their ALDI travels seen the mountain skiing scene bedding in the back of the Christmas brochure?

Does anyone have an Adidas code please? I would like to buy a T-shirt that costs £30.

@BunnyBerries, I've not placed an order yet (finally got to a physical store on Friday so that might be overkill!) but based on the T&Cs it doesn't look as though there are. Prices are charged in Euros and shipping is free for baskets over thirty (laptop can't do the little sign) or six for anything under.

Thanks for the bigjigs sale tip off, they have scrunch buckets/spades etc in the sale, some orchard toys games/puzzles, train/car bits and bobs…
They also sell Makedo (not in the sale) which I’d decided to get a while ago and then couldn’t find in stock anywhere.

Code TREATDAY10 took 10% off, including sale I think

If you sign up as a member you'll get access to their early black friday offers. It might be included in that

Oneborneverydecade which one did you buy?

I managed to get the retro fairy lights in Aldi today, I can conform there are 100 lights. I’m now super excited about putting me tree up in a couple weeks.

@ziggy911 the only elf card factory had was this one (approx 8") - you're very welcome to it, but it doesn't match the one you're looking for (although he might have had a bath and change of clothes after the fire?)

@Summertime10 I am afraid it will sold out by then.
