Thread 20 - the one with a drowning Gary Barlow in hot chocolate

[Reastie]

Poor old Gary - he’s gone from money off his concerts to being drowned in hot chocolate 🤣. Thanks for the title @iklboo

@SBAM I’ve bought DD a melt burner and the wax melts from Smelly Pigs - very cute pig faces and delivered in a box laid on ‘straw’.

10% off first orders.

I get candles, wax melts etc from etsy.co.uk

I also use perfume parlour too

I buy quite a lot from etsy. I've bought a poppet phone case for ds2, a Gecko book mark, key ring....

Anyone else just watching the threads and not actually started Christmas shopping yet?

Please don't say it's just me!

I need a plan, I plan to write a list... soon

I’m after an orange lava lamp if anyone spots something. One on holiday had orange ‘lava’ and a light liquid inside, possibly yellow. DCs found it very relaxing.

Have seen lots around just not yet found what I’m after.

Thanks @IDontDrinkTea I will take a look. Happy to build although he's pretty good at that part, it's the technology side he's a bit rustier on

I'm bowing out now as I'm almost finished with my Christmas shopping bar a few people that I usually just buy a bottle of booze for. I know I'll overspend if I keep lurking!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that has contributed since the prequel threads, it has helped so much with my shopping and I ordered the Holland and Barrett beauty boxes, turtle doves fingerless gloves, WHSmiths goodies, Rex london items and hotel chocolat bundle to name but a few! See you on the bargain threads next year!

Has anyone seen any more bargain coffee? I got the paddy & Scott one before but was looking to try a different brand. I saw Real Coffee Bags Company was recommended before but DP wasn't a fan of P&S coffee bags, they didn't taste strong enough as ground brewed coffee.

Are there are M&S codes about please? Haven't had any sparks offers for like 84yrs.

Wanting to buy a Xmas cushion.

Thanks

Thanks all for the gift bag recommendations! As it happens I went to the pound shop and home bargains for a few bits and got all these lovely bags in a great range of sizes for an excellent price! The ones on the right were £1 for 3 and the bigger ones on the left were £1.49 for 3

Huge thanks for the Celtic and co code, @ChristmasCatBells! (FESTIVE21CV in case anyone missed it)

The sheepskin insoles are perfect for wellies and make garden work so much nicer. I got them for DH and I last year. Using the code they go from £12 each to £2 each plus a fiver postage. Absolute bargain, and will get regular use for months,

The JBL go2 wireless Bluetooth speaker I use to play white noise to DS through the night has broken! Second one I've had that's not lasted that long. Cab anyone recommend one please? Got to last through the night.

Thanks for all the wax melt suggestions, some lovely ones to look at. @Picklesbaby Is there any more info on Creative Flames? I can’t find a website or anything but the scent you mentioned sounds just the sort of thing I’m looking for

@BestofLuck Please could you PM me a referral for the Smelly Pigs website? They are so cute!

@torthecatlady I don’t have a referral. It’s just bog standard 10 % off a first order according to the website. Think it’s SPFIRST10 but definitely on a banner on the website. And, yes, they’re very cute!

[quote Motherofplants]@Silversun83 Some of the latest reviews state these are the same fakes sold by other sellers on Amazon and Ebay, I'm really unsure about chucking more money after them! Are you feet solid? The ones we just got had hollow feet and parts that fall off![/quote]
The ones we have are pretty solid.. Still going strong two years later. I can't remember but they seemed to be in official packaging...

@BestofLuck I've just made an account and put my referral code on the referral thread for 20% off. Not sure if there's a minimum spend for it though.

@UnaOfStormhold thank you but she's not got a microwave.

@torthecatlady, hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes, but I have a referral code for smellypigs. smellypigs.com/?ReferralCode=jwu940317EFFKd
You get 20% off I get 50 points. If you join they will give you a referral code.

Oh well done @torthecatlady - there usually ends up being a way to get a discount!

Oops, just saw your update @torthecatlady

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts you're welcome! Pleased you like it as much as we like ours

Toying with the idea of a barbie dream house for my DD, who has always wanted one but never put it on her list as she's always thought it's too much to expect. She's 10, loves barbies and still plays with them daily. Think it would be the ultimate surprise unexpected gift and she would love it!

Has anyone seen it for less than £250? We can afford it and are spending that on her brother, but it still smarts a bit!

Nicky James has some nice coated cotton bags on sale.

£3.95 delivery. I'm wavering over the £5 iPad case, real leather and reduced from £29.95 but can't decide if I really neeeed it or not!

My neom box arrived and smelt LUSH!
I’m still looking for Star Wars Lego… any suggestions on 3D pen thingys?
