Has anyone had anything from fossil about dispatch or delivery?

Ordered on the 30th - got delivery dispatch email yesterday - due tomorrow

Just wrapped up my sister's birthday presents - a big teal Fiorelli bag with some Spicery kits and Dedoles disco hamster socks inside. I wonder what she'd be getting instead if this thread didn't exist!

Yappy.com have 40% off books using book40. It's a company that makes personalised pet stuff and their books are really cute. I bought one last year after seeing them recommended here and my dc love it. They're quite pricey without a discount but with 40% off a good price.

Shower Gel apologies can't remember who asked (it's my age and eyesight!) I agree L'Occitane

Also M&S had a surprisingly lovely one I tried recently - it was £7.50 but a large bottle (think it was vegan friendly ) and I had a Shea one - was really nice - from memory there were other items in the range and other smells - one was Blood or Seville Orange

More expensive but lovely is Korres shower gel - often on offer - a little goes a long way

More expensive but special is Chanel shower gel - but very lovely if you like their scents

Light box things ! They sound pretty nifty - I am thinking I could trace words or images onto card templates to make my own cards (for next year ) - is there a good make /reliable one anyone could recommend or are they much of a muchness ? Thank you

Spotted some crackers in Aldi this morning pre filled with gin miniatures. Can’t remember the price, but inexpensive and perfect for adults around the table I thought 🙂

@lifeisbetterinpajamas

Can I ask those that purchased from Fossil how long delivery took please?

Mine arrived yesterday. Ordered last Monday so a week.

I have just pm'd you the buy a gift code

@HaggisTheGreat, thank you so much for the Argos code. Our iron and microwave both gave up this week, so that helped with the replacements.

No absolutely nothing! I ordered on the first and I don't think it's even been dispatched yet.

Yes please!!

I ordered from fossil on 29th and nothing yet. I know some people got personalised things but I didn't- could that be why any of yours are held up?
I emailed customer services this morning and no reply.

My fossil order wasn’t personalised and it was just one smallish bag so maybe that’s why mine was faster. I’ve just checked when it was dispatched, it was last Thursday. That felt slow to me! Amazon prime has made me impatient.

Thank you so much everyone for the hamper suggestions, finally got them in The Works!

Let me know if anyone wants a code for a free personalised Santa sack (£4.99 postage) from the handmade Christmas Co. it's a Vodafone one so the code only lasts an hour!

Sad the thread is slowing down because I still seem to have a lot of gifts to buy😅

Someone on here converted their avios/British airways points in to nectar points recently - I’ve done so 11 days ago now and they still haven’t gone on to my card- anyone else done this before?

I noticed today whilst in store that Asda have £5 off real Xmas trees

Anyone looking for a Neom diffuser they have a well-being pod plus 2 oils for £95 on their website!

Mine was about £15 from Amazon a couple of years ago and it's been fine (although not used extensively). I think it might be this one but was cheaper!

@BeaLola If you search 'Light Pad' there are lots including one under £10 on Lightening Deal.

@AnimalTheDrummer I just ordered my dd a big bubble tea kit from The Teashed. I'm so impressed, the packaging is really cute and they threw in a little freebie. They have kirs and stand alone ingredients, they also do the cups which Bubble Panda don't. I'm sure they sent me a 10% code so if you're interested let me know

Kits* not kirs grrr
