Thread 24 - the one where it’s Black Friday

[Reastie]

And I’m up at 3:40am so thought I’d check out if there are any bargains that I need 😁

If you’re posting anything specifically for me please do @ me or I may not spot it. It’s helpful if when sharing bargain info you bold it to make it easy for people to differentiate between chat and bargain links.

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

@Reastie probably be needing a new thread tomorrow.

Any ideas for a jewellery box for a 12 year old please? Seem to find either too babyish ones (e..g unicorn, fairies) or overly old ones. Not keen to have her name on it as have looked on Etsy. Thanks.

I think the Chilly’s free engraving with a referral link has been mentioned already but it actually seems to be working now with the Black Friday offers. Previously it wasn’t combining.

As such, you can now get one of the basic coloured bottles engraved free and delivered for £12 if you use a referral link, saving £12ish on the bottle and £10 on the engraving.

I’ll put my link over on the bargain / referrals board in case anyone is interested. 👍🏻

Thanks @Fuckingfuckssake and @EvilPea I'll have a look but trying to avoid rl shopping at the moment. Might be able to get DH to do a collection for me

It depends on your budget but I bought stackers from JL ( but think you can get them elsewhere) for my DDs. Different colours and can build on them as needed. Got them years ago and they're still looking perfect. I have them as well!

@Crapbags what size is a s/m?

@oatmilkisntsobad

I need a pair of men's Christmas socks for a stocking filler so don't want to spend too much. Asos have some in their sale reduced to around £3/4but then there's £4 delivery! I've bought from eBay before and the quality has been shocking. Any suggestions?

Lidl! Loads in there today when I was in (also other Christmas clothes). Think the socks were something like £1.99.

For those asking about the tape dispenser, I have this one as recommended by mumsnet two years ago and it’s the absolute bees knees

@goingpearshaped not sure if it has to be a box but what about something like this from NOTHS?

@NC2010 sorry did b&m have dressing tables or the unicorn?

@LavateLasManos aw thank you ! I will see my pms, I’m isolating with covid so not much else to do

Hi all, can anyone suggest a nice gift for a boy aged 8/9 and a girl 4/5. It would have to be something to the value of around £25 and not too big as they would have to carry them back home in their luggage abroad in the new year.

Bloody ds just made up his mind about his wish for this year and wants AirPods - at least they seem to be something not completely out of stock!

Thinking of buying an artificial tree - is this the time to do it or should I wait til December? Balsam Hill has a BF event but it’s still eye-wateringly expensive…..

Thanks @RainbowPhilosophy, prob a bit small. Had forgotten to check NOTH though, off to google now. Thank you!

@dizzygirl1 blimey. I ordered on 9th November and said it would be delivered on 29th. I must have picked a slightly different seller to the rest of you! On further investigation it looked like they were coming from Poland!!!

I have a few requests if that’s ok?

I’m trying to buy a stain air wrap but it has to be a long barrel and looks to be out of stock everywhere.

Are there any further discount codes for Hot diamonds? I have a blue card so I’ll check there

Finally, oos as far as I can see adult size 9 white Nike socks if anyone see them.

Thank you

Do any of you lovely people have an Argos code please? I’m spending £159 and would love any kind of discount.

🐑 just bought a rapseco tape dispenser. £7 for pink one on Amazon.

Can anyone advise on the best place to buy a north face t shirt? For my close friends DS

budget ideally £20 he’s in a men’s size XL

Hi all I am sorry to ask as I know these have been discussed in an earliernhtread, but I can not find it at all. What is a Tonie? And is it worth it. My dd is 5 soon. Thanks

8% cashback from quidco, not loads but better than nothing.

@Elpheba

Morning all, does anyone have any good ideas for places to look for kids luggage? I’d like to get both DC (3 and 5) their own wheely bag but want it to fit Ryanair/easyJet hand luggage rules in the vain hope that one day we’ll go abroad again! Only looked at smiggle & skip hop so far and they’re too big…

Tripp do a nice cabin case on wheels which come in different and bright colours. They look like Lego to me. Not sure if they meet EasyJet or Ryan guidelines though.

@Ewock they are audioplayers where the child can control it by choosing a character and putting it on the player and then it plays the story. For a 5 year old I would recommend a Yoto player instead, as it will probably last her longer as tonies are more aimed at younger kids. Both would be suitable for 5, but tonie might not last so long. Yoto is the same principle but uses cards rather than figures - easier to store and cheaper. The stories go up to 12+. They've also just released a portable version. If you're interested in yoto i have a referral code which I can send you for 10% off.

Thank you so much that's fab. I vaguely remember seeing a tonie box in the shops a few months back but hadnt paid attention. That is great advice. I'll check out the Yoto and if we buy it a referral code would be great.

Yes I'd also recommend a yoto, I think they're ace and should give a fair few years of enjoyment.
