Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it

@MerylSqueak they do felted ones which should be harder wearing and not shrinkable.

I need to buy a gift for a 5 year old boy and 7 year old girl, neither of who I know at all really (the bosses kids, long story)

Has anyone seen any good offers/ideas? 15 quid limit for each

WHSmith have the Elmer's slime kits for £7.49 (half price) and if you spend over £50 you get £10 off with the code FRIDAY10. They also sell lego, some cuddly toys and craft stuff that you could add, as well as a book like The Dinosaur Who Pooped Christmas for the 5yo.

@captainjacksparrow your post made me laugh! This is exactly how I feel 35 and Constantly checking the website for something I didn’t know existed a couple of weeks ago. Mine are for my LO’s though they aren’t really. All for me

Evening all! DD would like a cuddly Stitch and rather likes the medium sized one from the Disney store, it already has 20% off but does anyone have a free delivery code per chance?

Secret santa gift needed for a 30ish year old man at work. Know he likes the gym, sweets and tech but little else about him. Any great ideas team please?

Does anyone have a spare M&S code? Gary Barlow is taunting me from my sparks rewards

Norris Nuts merch is half price on their official website. DD loves it so I've ordered her a hoody. I think it's shite but hey ho! Postage is £6 though so beware.

Wow I missed a whole thread! One of my girls is off school with covid so doubt I’ll be able to keep up this week but if anyone spots any deals on hot wheels garages or loops can they please let me know!

@FluffyFluffMonster me me where are you?

@InDreamland look on Amazon at the Cath Kidson hand cream. Sets of 3 for £5 something and you could split it? I made up wee cellophane bags with one of those and a few Lindt balls/ Ferrero Roche one year for all the leaders at Brownies.
Someone also posted about the L'ocittane hand cream 3 pack on Amazon's Black Friday deal today that you could do something similar with.

Oops. Should have read down. I see you've already seen them!

@MerylSqueak
Lisa Angel are selling some wrist warmers for £7

Has anyone come across any alcohol miniatures that come in plastic bottles? They’re to go in my homemade crackers and all the ones I’ve seen in supermarkets are glass and I’d be worried about them smashing on our stone floor

What about some workout dice (I think that's what they're called on Amazon) - dice with different exercises on to make a different routine every time? I'm sure I found some for around £7.50.

@MerylSqueak they look lovely ...they are showing as £10 though ...is there a code to get them for £7? Thanks

Re my Diptyque/discount request mentioned earlier, space NK, Liberty etc won't allow their codes to work against the brand. The only one that does is space NL have a free gift when you spend £60+ for new customers (a makeup bag of products worth £110) which does seem tempting but at the same time if no one will use them doesn't really make much sense. Apparently though, Diptyque do Black Friday offers and it's the only day they ever discount according to Elle magazine so I'm going to hold out for Friday, and then if they don't discount the things I'm looking for I'll use the space NK code and donate the products.

@Crazydogmumma is there a code for these for £7?

@Froppysue

Bit of a sad Christmas present hunt, I’m hoping someone can help. My fave person ever, db, is an inpatient in a psychiatric hospital and we be in for quite a long time, including over Christmas. I’m praying he will be able to have a couple of hours pass on the day itself - but what can I possibly gift him that would make the situation any less shitty? He doesn’t have lots of space, or privacy. He has his headphones and electricals and blankets, and I’ve already bought and taken in lots of clothes, personal care and snacks etc. Really, really stumped and hoping you lovely lot might have any ideas?

Something to read? A magazine subscription? Do check in what he is allowed as many things are not allowed in their rooms depending on if he’s considered high risk or not, I know when DSS was in hospital he wasn’t allowed anything with a lead (electrical) but was allowed battery operated things. Maybe a adult colouring book? Or something crafty? A jigsaw puzzle (the 3d ones are pretty cool)?

These are likely to be reduced further this week for Black Friday, I bought one last year for half price.

@InDreamland

Just in case my last post got lost in the JL code glitch excitement, I'm looking for an electric knife sharpener. Can anyone recommend a good one please? If I can get it discounted too that'd be awesome.

Also looking for nice bargainous handcreams if anyone can recommend. Need them for nursery teacher gifts so looking for quite a few for all the staff in DD's room.

Does it have to be electric? We have a wet stone which is great… there are load on Amazon for £20 odd We got the kunqun 400/1000

@ilovebrie8
I think if you click to sign up for their Black Friday deals it opens up the items in the sale.

I scrolled back but couldn’t see the Celtic code - could someone re post please?

Jigsaw 20% off full price until 24/12 with PARTY20

@FeltCarrot

Has anyone come across any minecraft hoodies suitable for a 10 year old girl?

George at Asda have quite a few Minecraft clothes. I ordered the Xmas sweatshirt which DS is pleased with. Check out the Minecraft Black Splatter Print Hoodie: direct.asda.com/george/kids/boys-sweatshirts-hoodies/minecraft-black-splatter-print-hoodie/GEM885467,default,pd.html?cgid=D25M1G1C5

@Neeko thank you, great minds on the splitting the trio of Cath Kidston. Do the tubes say on them they're part of a set?
