Title because the last one’s nearly used up and I haven’t got time to do my usual picking of a title, sorry.

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.

Any ideas for gifts I can send digitally to my team? I was going to get them all nice bottles of wine but I don't think we're going to be back in the office now and I don't really want to post stuff. And for complicated reasons I can't do Amazon vouchers, which was my first thought...

What's your budget and does it have to be digital ie emailed and not posted to them?

So, a tenner each?
newroundhere · 10/12/2021 19:45

oatmilkisntsobad Probably up to £20-25 each, digital / emailed would be easier as I don't actually know their addresses without asking them!

I ordered a Christmas jumper from Zavvi 10 days ago and no sign yet. Has anyone had theirs?

oatmilkisntsobad · 10/12/2021 19:55

@newroundhere most shops like John Lewis and coffee shops like costa offer an emailed gift voucher. Or you can book online cookery classes from migrateful.org Or a restaurant voucher from buyagift- lots of vouchers for discounts

I've tried searching but got nowhere, so hopefully someone can help... what were the sites for the cheap football tops or kits please? A friend is looking for her 11yo DS and I want to pass the link on. Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can get some (cheap) 3D Christmas Glasses? (the ones that turn the lights into Santa or a snowman)

Would love to go look at Christmas lights with the glasses, but refusing to pay £3+ a pair.

Mumto3thatsme · 10/12/2021 20:18

Soooo many pages to catch up on!
Before I trail through though, dds bff has asked for moon shoes and they seem nigh on impossible to get. Has anyone seen any in stock anywhere, or have some they might be looking to get rid of? 😬🤞🏻

[quote herestoyoucolinrobinson]**@BunnyBerries* yes! I have one parcel just sitting at a hub and one they haven't even picked up from the seller yet. Tracking not updated on either since the weekend. They aren't usually this* bad.[/quote]
I’ve had something sat at the Hermes hub since 23rd Nov Sad it hasn’t moved at all during that time. The seller has emailed them and they aren’t responding.

Justonedayatatime11 · 10/12/2021 20:27

@Mumto3thatsme I do! Brand new in the box if you want to pm me

BunnyBerries · 10/12/2021 20:27

@festivefuschias shocking Sad

festivefuschias · 10/12/2021 20:31

@BunnyBerries

Just to warn anyone who is ordering from Hobbycraft or H&M.. they use Hermes and it's been over 10 days for both parcels ordered now and no delivery... Shock I wouldn't count on them before Christmas if ordered standard delivery now!
And following on from my post about a parcel being sat in the hub since the 23rd, I had a smiggle order delivered today which was only sent out a couple of days ago and received it no problem. So I think parcels sent out now are ok but something has possibly happened to a batch of parcels from a couple of weeks ago?
newusernameforxmas · 10/12/2021 20:39

I had an Asda George orderl delivered in 3 packages. The third package didn't turn up and on the tracking it said I had to take action. I emailed the link and they said they'd progress the delivery but it's been a week. I phoned Asda and they've replaced the missing items and hopefully they'll turn up next week.

My brother has asked for some ‘lightweight waterproof gloves’ for when he goes walking. I’m getting confused by it all when I’ve googled so wondered if anyone had any recommendations please?

Pming you now! ❤️

RainbowPhilosophy · 10/12/2021 21:16

Thanks @Sallylovesdaisy. I think there was another one too?

PinkDaydreams · 10/12/2021 21:32

That Miele kitchen on Robert dyas looks fab! I'm absolutely gutted I've already bought a Hape one the other week 😭 too much faff returning it

SharonMack17 · 10/12/2021 21:39

@Cantthinkofabettername
Try Lomo hiking gloves; Lomo is a fab company; really good customer service based in Scotland. Their hiking gloves are lightweight and pack up small.
