I have two American men to buy for. I don't know either of them, and don't know much about them at all. Budget of about £100 for one, £50 for the other - both are late 30s. Would prefer not enormous / heavy as they'll need to go in suitcases.

What's the male equivalent of naice but generic gifting?!

@MrsCrimbo74

QOD you can get the marc jacobs teddy mini tote from this italian site, it has good reviews on trust pilot and anything over €200 is free to the UK

Eeeeek I did it. Checked Facebook and Instagram and they seem good. £177 instead of £230 wohoooo

Thanks so much.

Bloody daughter with a birthday a week before Xmas 🎄

*@imnottoofussed I haven’t - I headed straight to Schuh as I know they are good with returns if there’s a problem with the size. Shouldn’t be though so I’ll have a look. Thanks.

@Newdad19

Does anyone have any suggestions for a not too ££ advent calendar for my mum? Late 60s lady. Open to beauty or other options but ideally don't want to spend more than £50.

The Cath Kidston one is great value, think it's about £35. I had it once. Lovely stuff. Think I got it from Amazon or Look Fantastic.

@Newdad19 the Yankee candle one is nice. It's an absolute steal on Yankee Bundles at the moment for just £10 delivered. here

Thanks @PomRuns! Yes, i saw that but it's not for the blankets. I understand the predicament with the stores though

Apologies if already posted

Thanks to the poster who gave the sock shop discount. That's the stockings finished and part of my work secret santa sorted

@Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting

Why was the JL.thread deleted?

I'm actually finished with Christmas shopping now but can't bring myself to leave the threads! I'm going to hang about for a bit if that's ok. I like the chat and am happy to contribute any bargains I see. 🥰🎅⛄

Because people kept coming on there and saying that people should be ashamed, that it was stealing or looting and deplorable.

@nicky2512 I bought some hi tops last month and cheapest place I found was Very. Depends which particular ones you're after but it's certainly worth looking around. The converse site itself has a discount code when you sign up to their mailing list as well.

@Magistera

Google Nest Hub is back in stock on John Lewis, free with a £75 spend using the code BFGOOGLE. They sell out really quickly so if you want one be quick!

Are these any good ? Why would I need one ? Or indeed my house need one ?

Hi! I’ve decided I might need a Velvetiser 🙄

This deal comes up when I Google the Velvetiser but it’s nowhere on the Hotel Chocolat website. Has it ever been that cheap? Is it a deal I’ve just missed?

@OliverBabish www.hotelchocolat.com/uk/velvetiser-subscriptions.html

@imnottoofussed thank you! Not sure why I couldn’t find that on the site after looking for the last 15 mins!!

Oh fantastic! Thank you for the Yankee calendar. I already have a Partylite one, but the more the merrier

Re-cycling bin day tomorrow...

@mummyof2boys30

Any suggestions for school secret santa for a child who plays rugby and football. Teacher has set budget at £5. Age 9

How about a boot claw ?

Got a Christmas tree Squishmallow from Aldi today (Bournemouth), they had all of them.

I'm still looking for the Snoopy snuddie from Primark that @FluffyFluffMonster shared the picture of - has anyone seen it in the East Midlands? (Or Bournemouth and surrounds if it's the next couple of days!)

Sorry, postage makes it higher than the suggested limit but I'm pretty sure I found something similar in Sports Direct for around £5.

I don't suppose anyone has any ideas for a Canadian living in the Uk?

Thank you will take a look at this!

Any beauty ones anyone could suggest as well?

Does anyone please have a code for ASOS? Id really appreciate one if so. Thank you!

@Givealittlebit, as a Canadian expat, I suggest you could order them several boxes of what we call "Kraft Dinner" www.amazon.co.uk/KRAFT-MACARONI-CHEESE-DINNER-CHEESIEST/dp/B00BU5W15Q/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=kraft+dinner&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1637622554&sr=8-3

That will give them a taste of home, lol. It's a bit silly, but hopefully would be appreciated.

My 100 coffee bags from Paddy and Scott's . My last order they were in a branded box that you could take one at a time from. Today it was a huge generic box filled to the brim with the bags. Good job they weren't for a present. No idea how I'm going to store them!

Does anyone have any Lakeland codes please?
