Thread 25 - The one where 8 inches is big enough

[Reastie]

Thanks @Carrie76 for the title. Just for everyone’s info - the chat was about tablet size 😁

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.

Vodafone codes thread here

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

@nearlywed21 40PLUS still working on LF

@RainbowPhilosophy - thank you, but I'm not really sure how to use quidco/cashback.

@LeaderoftheAteam - am I right in thinking those referral codes on the referral thread are only for new customers?

Joules extra 15% off and free delivery Just ordered something for fussy SIL so only pain-in-the-arse FIL and BIL to buy for now and then I’m doooooonnnnneeee!!

I’ve found you all 😂 been busy up and down the hospital so I’m going to look back through this thread now

@noodledoodler thank you, I was really hoping 40plus would get me 40% (I know, wishful thinking) it got me 10% same as cyber (is there a way to stack to make it 20%?)

Would love the black friday beauty box in fact thats what I went there looking to get, but ofc its sold out! The 40plus discount supposedly gets you £5 off the sold out black friday box :(

Do Next ever do promo codes? Got a fair amount in my basket and really struggling to have to pay full price!

@awishes They sell the big bars in Morrison’s too. We’re the same price. I was very excited when the box arrived…looked huge. They aren’t that big. Might save them for birthdays. There’s more impressive chocolates to be had at this time of year.

@nearlywed21 I think the CYBER code will stack with some items, try playing around with the basket, worth a try

@isthisit2021 I've never known Next offer any codes, recommend a friend credit was as good as it got, but not even sure they do that now either.

@LeaderoftheAteam

Can anyone remember the cool maps from a few threads ago?

Is it this?

It looks great and my wife has bought it for me

@Chocolateteabag if you search boys vehicle socks on Amazon some come up in a pack of three where one has a tractor on, largest is age 8-10 but my 10 year old is size 3 so was hopeful for you

Decathlon had one

What about these socks @Chocolateteabag?

@SewVeryLazy what about the Mog books and plush Mog cat? There’s even a mog Christmas story. My dd got one years ago from Waterstones and loved the thing, we lost it last year and she still talks about it (she’s nearly 13 now!)

@IsThisIt2021

Do Next ever do promo codes? Got a fair amount in my basket and really struggling to have to pay full price!

I sometimes get sent £10 off £25. Not often though!

@SewVeryLazy ooh just a thought, what about an our generation doll? You get books that match the characters and their accessories. Like this but you get lots of others too.

I know it can be dependent on your location, but FINALLY John Lewis has stock online of the 10.2 (£319) iPad for my area (Milton Keynes-ish).

I have been checking all the Apple Stores in the vicinity every single day and am just delighted I've found one that will hopefully be delivered before Christmas. Only available in Space Grey, rather than Silver, but who cares, right?

Hi, any suggestions on decent digital cameras? Better than phone quality but not really expensive (as a camera novice my jaw dropped at some of the prices for high end ones) budget £250 ish? Cannon seems to be a good brand... Thanks

@IToldYouIWasFreaky yes, 3 arrived before lunch today, non mainland UK, ordered around lunchtime Friday.

Has anyone seen a good yard of chocolate this year? I've seen jaffa cakes/oreos in other years, but I need a chocolate this year. Milk or white covered milk if possible! I'm having issues locating one

@allhiphipsorrayy for your cocktail present, could you do bottles of various bitters - angostura, orange, peach etc - assuming your recipient doesn't already have them. They're used in quite a few cocktails and a bottle lasts forever.
Or how about reusable straws (I like silicon rather than glass or metal)? Or nice glass stirrers/swizzle sticks?

@Yeknom

Gaaah! I feel so behind on shopping this year. I think I just need to bulk buy a load of foodie gifts. Any bargains?

I've got left:

Teacher and TA (budget £10 each)
Elderly neighbour
Diabetic male
2 x aunts and uncles

I reckon maybe I just need to schlep to M&S and see what they've got. I've fallen into the classic case of it's it not got money off I won't purchase!!

Tesco has some good bargains on boxed chocolates with a clubcard. Thorntons Christmas selection, big box £10 down to £5. I’ve brought a few boxes for teachers and dds taxi driver and chaperone 🙂

Anyone know if Smiggle will keep discounts after today? I only need to spend £16 but postage is £4.99 and I'm no where near a shop.

Would anyone have any recommendations for a collage kit for dd who's 11. She's really into arts and crafts and wants to make a collage on the wall with stickers? I'm not sure what to buy rally. Has anyone ever bought a kit that that include everything the need for it? Much appreciate the help.

@LastStarFighter

A word of caution to those ordering bargains from IWOOT, I ordered loads from there last year, and even though it showed as in stock, some of it wasn’t delivered until May/June time!

In fact, it’s reminded me that some of it never showed up at all.

Oh no, really? I don't mind about the little bits and bobs but I ordered an asked for gift - Goo Jitzu figure- for DS- from there instead of Amazon thinking I was doing a good thing avoiding the giant that is Amazon!

Turns out theres a 22% student discount on look fantastic (I work and study) but as luck has it my account has expired and needs reverification.. which takes 3 working days. There goes my black friday purchase...
