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

Where's got the huge gift bags this year? I didn't see any in B&M or HB

I got some in the new section of my local Barnardos charity shop

Thanks to the various people who have suggested alternatives to the personalised notebooks. I’ve just got in so I’m going to scroll back and check out the different suggestions with a nice cup of tea ☕️ .

@MeredithGreyishblue Card Factory have them.

@Squ1ggle what about the champ yea bubble heaven set at boots? It's over budget but on the 3 for 2 so if you need any other gifts would bring it down a bit https://www.boots.com/champneys-bathing-ritual-gift-set-10295854?cmmmc=bmm-buk-google-ppccPLAsAs--CatchhAll--UKKSmartShoppinggCatchAlllGoogle&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-qGNBhD3ARIsAOo7yly3Bwlq0GJNlvRX-g1q6taYOehr8bKbwOgxhpQXQP9CB4kTriTHr0aAvQHEALwwwcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Hello all,
I’ve not been very active here this year, my work life balance is off!
I am very desperately seeking my little pony new generation toys though. Pip and Zipp the princesses. They are only in smyths abs none left in Scotland. Thanet, reading and Maidstone have abs I wondered if some kind mumsnetter might take pity on me abs but abd post up? I’ve tried to set DD expectations but she just keeps saying it’s fine, Santa can make them.

@MerylSqueak its hard to know with teenagers isnt it? Im sure they will think its cool too 😊

@alfietherailwaycat is this one of them? If so Amazon is your friend.

@AlfieTheRailwayCat is THIS the right Pipp?

Or if you are on FB and these are the ones might be worth messaging them and seeing if they will post

[quote Christmasmcchristmasface]@Squ1ggle just a teeny bit over budget

Milton Brown is giving me lols. Their new antibac range?

I've just realised that when I sorted through all the boxes of presents, I didn't come across the wax lyrical candles. What on earth have I done with them??

Does anyone know of a Boden code?

I want to sign up to the M &S thing ..just to get a bit of Barry every morning !
How do I do it ?

Arghhhhh. Opportunity to win Gary tickets here too.

[quote NaturalBlondeYeahRight]Not bubble bath but this set from nuxe at m and s is what I’m thinking of getting my very similar lady.
I have been browsing at M&S and found this: www.marksandspencer.com/huile-prodigieuse-gift-set-the-prodigieux-4/p/hbp60523868?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share[/quote]
I was also going to suggest Nuxe for the secret Santa. Such beautiful products and this cracker would make a lovely and impressive gift for under £10.

Be vary wary of any where the seller is not Amazon. Lots of fakes unfortunately

@pinkDaydreams Random, but Homebase had some rainbow tinsel when I was in at the weekend. 1 long piece (I think 2m?) for about £3.

So M&S day offer - free 60ml hand gel - I wonder if Gary uses it ?

Amazon are offering £6 if you top up your gift card balance with £50

Today I got 20% off 🧶 knitwear on my sparks and no sign of GB 😂🎅🏻🎄

@Mummyoply

Does anyone have any recommendations for men's gloves, nice posh ones, really warm (for Winter family days out and walks) not leather? Oh and for small hands? I'm stumped!

I bought a nice pair of lambs wool ones from Celtic & Co using the £20 off discount code and they are great

@BeaLola, I’ve got the 60ml hand gel as my M&S Advent Calendar treat for today, too, but it says “Available in selected full UK stores” and doesn’t give any indication of which these stores are. It does list some types where it’s not available, but they are not what I’d call full stores.

I wonder how long they will last before they run out. Based on previous experience with John Lewis cardholders’ free gifts it may not be long. Perhaps there’s a secret supply for people who whisper the magic words “Gary Barlow.”

I have just joined M&S ..
Nothing from the man for me !

I typed in his name ..and got ...a selection of ...
Eye brow pencils 🤔🤔🙂🤣

@Squ1ggle have a look at tk maxx they always have a good selection of bath & body products
