@Reastie I'm not sure about this year, but last year I think HobbyCraft discounted individual items only.

@Mumto3thatsme remind me what size again. And it's any Disney style one is that right??

Ideas for a frail 95 year old lady with no hobbies? Around £140. Likes tech (!). Has a smartphone, tablet & laptop already. Doesn't craft or puzzle. I'm stumped.

@CarrotCarrotCucumber that’s annoying! It’s what they’ve had up on their site all week but I’ve been living in hope of at least 9% off everything!

I mean 10!

As there’s lots of Pokemon fans on here I thought I would share this cute personalised Christmas Pokemon TCG card. I always sneak a little Christmassy treat in my son’s lunchbox on the last day of term (#spoilt) and he’s getting this this year.

@MeredithGreyishblue kindle? Amazon Alexa?

Thanks for the Dock & Bay recommendation for hair wraps. Great reviews so ordered a twin pack. 20% off with BRIGHT

Does she like reading? The new kindle paperwhite.

Amazon Alexa device? Or Google equivalent.

@MeredithGreyishblue does she have a Kindle? Bluetooth speaker, wireless headphones, smart speaker?

@LastStarFighter great minds!

In case it hasn't been mentioned, hogwarts express is £56 plus an £11.20 voucher available atm bringing it down to £45ish on Amazon :)

Been waiting on Black Friday for Yorkshire Soap Company. Just got the email...free postage on spends £50 up. I'll be honest, much as I have sympathy for small businesses that's really not what I had been hoping for.

@MeredithGreyishblue yy to wireless earphones. Or a heated throw or electric hot water bottle?

@TheCrow Thank you, I'll check Tesco and Currys.

Bit niche but any ideas where I can sponsor a black panther for a gift please? Or have any ideas related to black panthers for an enthusiast x

TCB is doing between around £3-6 cashback on Hearst magazine subscriptions. That includes things such as prima and good housekeeping......but even seems to work on the £3 for 3 issues offer. Worst you get 3 magazines for free, best you make £3 as well!

@MeredithGreyishblue or a google nest hub? I see it as kind of like the next generation of digital radio....

@Carrie76

Can anyone recommend somewhere not too pricey for book box sets

Books2Door, The Works, Lowplex, Book Depositry - all ones I have used.

@MeredithGreyishblue home security system like a Ring doorbell? Or one of those smart watches, or you could make her a tech accessory kit... EG a bag/case like this bellroy.com/products/tech-kit-compact/looma_weave/limestone?store_currency=80525dfa80b1c4d080ba7d2e9291ff1dd1c8b183&shipping_to_country=GB&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhf2MBhDNARIsAKXU5GTPdtloaGed5Zj9bal36BsQLkOQimf66Wh_9lToZnysCavsl8PpFksaAoijEALw_wcB#slide-2 plus a powerbank, cleaning wipes/cloth, maybe a Tilemate/Apple Airtag.

I’ve messaged you… again 🤦‍♀️😂 I’ll try logging in and out again to see if my messages kick in if you don’t receive this one ❤️

@Carrie76 lowplex are good for books. I think there's another company called books2door or something like that too

@Reastie all my hobbycraft emails seem to be selected items, such as ‘crafters favourites’ or ‘more items added online’ on pyrograph sets and circuit etc, so not a generic code. I’m wondering if they’re going to do one tomorrow as they’re usually good with codes, I’m after a few things too so fingers crossed!

Could you use a new customer code on top (10%) if you sign up with a new email? They send a £5 voucher on your birthday too, so may be worthwhile signing up with a new account with your birthday very soon lol.

Hello, I think this is officially the latest I have ever started my Christmas shopping - had a complete shock when I saw it was Black Friday tomorrow! Wanting an Occulus quest - can get it on Amazon today for 250 or wait till tomorrow? I think I will order it to be honest!
Thank you for the threads Reastie and all the bargains you lovely shoppers

I made the mistake of not making a decision fast enough this week on the Neom website and now their special offer has gone . I was looking to buy the well-being pod which was £95 including one oil , and they had a really nice free gift worth £65, but the offer changed over night. Absolutely gutted I missed it

Does anyone know if Neom does different offers each day over Black Friday or does anywhere do a good deal on the pods?
