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 join as a new member - fresh email address - you might get a 20% off code, I did, but it was a few months back.

England Rugby Store are offering 15% off till the end of today here

Star Wars Chewie Bop It down to £6.66 at The Entertainer and Amazon

If anyone sees Don't Upset the Wookiee game for less than £12 (Tesco price) that would be great - or Gruffalo Dobble for under £10 (Amazon price) that would be much appreciated!

@Gracesquirrel

I've sorted what to get for best friends partner - I decided to have a browse through Amazons deals page and came across VonShef Whiskey Stones & Glasses Gift Set in a lovely wooden box normally £19.99 but £5 off today so £14.99. Looking at the real pictures in the reviews it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is and is a nice substancial present so I'm pleased.

]]

Thank you for this. I ordered them and they arrived today - they look like so much more than £15!

Really heavy, solid glasses, nice reusable wooden box. Loos like an impressive gift

I’ve had a very apologetic email from Tiger offering full refund and telling me to keep the goods by way of an apology. Excellent customer service.

@Autumnleaves4 I got this TRX which was about £67 after the voucher discount.

It comes with a poster with the basic moves which I thought might be the easiest way for him to start. They have much cheaper non-branded at Decathlon, but I know he’ll get a kick out of the branding.

I also got a ceiling mounting point for it. He won’t be able to use it attached to the door because of weird architecture (you have to make a right turn after opening the door to get into the main part of the room).

If anyone is looking to bulk out present piles then Morrisons have big buckets of popcorn for £1.50. Their Christmas decorations are 70% off and most gifts sets are reduced too! They had cookie skillets, popcorn sets, booze etc

Thanks for the heads up on Lisa Angel sale. As @yeknom says there is a few reduced jellycats. Poinsettia, Santa mouse and mouse with a wreath heading to me now Xmas Blush did not need them and definitely didn't have the budget left but DC1 & DC2 have always had new soft toys on top of their present piles and I hadn't got any yet for this year. DC3 is getting a new big jellycat bunny as well so felt like they needed jellycats Xmas Hmm

Obviously the poinsettia is for me Xmas Grin

Mine arrived yesterday as well - I am really pleased with the Whiskey Glasses set, it looks a lot more expensive than it was and will make for an impressive gift.

@GaslighterDenier ahh good! So glad I helped you - although not your purse. I stayed strong as I've already bought two this year.

Snack Surprise subscription. Avoid this company at all costs! Ordered a subscription for a family with some vegetarians. The website says there will be nutritional information and a V to indicate vegetarian items in their booklet in the box. This was not included. I complained as it meant the vegetarians could not eat any of the snacks. They acknowledged it wasn’t given because they were too busy and basically said tough. Refused a return / refund. Totally unethical and probably a breach of contract.

The snack surprise rep on Facebook is very helpful. Give them a try. I cancelled ours as it was a bit pricey after awhile but he's very good
