Thread 27 - the one with a panicked thread title

[Reastie]

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

Lottie ballet doll less than £15 on Amazon atm, was about to buy when Amazon helpfully told me I had already bought it in 2020 Lottie Doll

Set of three Joules lip balms for £3 in the clearance section, with free delivery. The code CLEARANCE10 should take 10% off, bringing it down to £2.70, but if I’m not mistaken you could use a referral code instead for 20% off, making them £2.40 each. This is for new customers but you could just use a new email address.

Think they would be a good stocking filler or you could split them up.

I’ll put my referral link over on the bargains post if anyone wants it.

@threeb I think this is your user name but it won’t let me tag you - I finally got my nectar/avios points this morning after numerous online chats with them. Hope you’ve had luck too.
The look fantastic beauty boxes are now 3 for £20 even though it still says 3 for 30
I had to add a couple of cheap stocking bits for free postage but I needed them anyway.

Speaking of Lottie Dolls, I'd like to recommend this seller on eBay, I've bought from her several times and she's now making me a custom order for my DD's teddy. So helpful.

The relevant piece of information is that she makes dresses for Lottie Dolls 🙄

I ordered the 3 beauty boxes when.they were on the same offer for black friday and only one of them has arrived so far. Just in case anyone was relying on gifting them for Christmas.

Also the one I received wasn't in the nice box shown in the photo, it was in a clear make up bag.

Hello - hope it's ok to ask a question!
I'm looking for a large plush animal (not a squishimal thank god!) for my teenager, he was eyeing up a large penguin in Morrison's recently for around £25 - I went back to get one and they are no more!
Anyone seen this kind of thing in a supermarket or other shop? Doesn't have to be a penguin, just an oversized soft toy he can cuddle and not tell his friends about

Another good buy for around a tenner in the Joules clearance. This set has a nice bobble hat, a hand cream and a lip balm. Down to £13ish but you should be able to get it for £10.40 with a referral code (new customers / new email addresses) which gives 20% off.

Free delivery too.

Check the bargains thread for a referral link.

Alternatively the code CLEARANCE10 will take 10% off alone.

What about a Pokemon Pikachu plush. They're squidgy and soft and can be used as a pillow. My son loves his. £24 at the moment in Argos but I don't know availability.

Hmm one hermes parcel arrived, the other is still just saying it's at the hub. M&S are saying they'll send it again but most of it is now out of stock.

My dd also has this plush and absolutely loves it!

I got a large penguin plush - think it was Melissa and Doug from WHSmith was around £25

Any suggestions for a good place to get Christmas pjs for niece and nephew?

@Fuckingfuckssake I have had dresses off her too, they are lovely.

I have used grandma's originals for Sylvanian Family clothes too.

@Elphaba17 I ordered glossybox advent calendar for £15 from look fantastic. I wonder what I am going to get and when.

I can't anywhere that does nice adult nightdresses (not granny ones or sexy ones). I can only find pyjamas and it can be too hot to wear them. Where can I find any? Nice cotton ones or similar.

Are there any discount codes about for Next? Want to get Ds1 Hat/scarf set.

@heelforheelandtoefortoe I'm not sure if it's quite what you're after, but Landsend used to have a selection that were neither granny nor sexy- simple T-shirt styles in various lengths.

@oatmilkisntsobad - my spicery code is on the referral thread as linked in reastie’s OP, and I’m sure there will be others there too😀. Enjoy!

@RainbowPhilosophy thanks yes it was. 😃

Thanks for the big soft toy ideas - going to check both of those out

Maybe I've just been unlucky, though I had to chase up the NEOM box I ordered too. Hopefully you'll have a better experience. I've decided to keep them for myself now if they ever do arrive so I can at least laugh about it rather than stress about delivery times. I report back if they ever turn up, and if they're even what they were supposed to be
