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.

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it Thanks

Papier questions:
Do they ship quickly? Looking for a teacher gift but realised I may have left it too late….
Is there another code that stack with the referral code?
Thanks lovely people in my phone Xmas Smile

@Bellie99 Thanks for that, I can't afford that one though. How did you know? I have the stock informer, it didn't tell me!

I got an email from stock informer. I set up emails and messenger alerts.
It looks like they are mostly doing bundles at about this price unfortunately. Any extended family that would chip in to help you get it? Or birthday and Christmas for the next few years?
I will alert you if I'm around and I get email in case your not getting them

@evtheria thank you so much! This is just perfect for my son who liked the look of the Magic Mixies cauldron but was absolutely not getting it as he would have no interest in the toy, just the 5 minutes of excitement. He will absolutely love pretending he is Harry Potter in potions class with this one.

It was sold out at studio but found it on kaleidoscope.co.uk and got 10% off and free delivery for signing up to newsletter.

I will stop rambling but am genuinely over the moon to have found him a present he will love that isn't another switch game!

So cross as got 15% off clothing yesterday and wanted to get a cashmere jumper for my DDad but code is one time use only and I didn't realise. Spent it in-store and tried to use online but realised I couldn't!! Beware!!

25% off Christmas jumpers in Tesco - I got 2 that are way nicer than the ones in M&S

Sunsetsupernova · 09/12/2021 10:05

@OhRex all of my Papier parcels have arrived within 3-4 working days. However, they do use Royal Mail and the delivery times are ridiculous at the moment. I have a small business and sent two parcels first class last Friday to completely different areas and neither have arrived yet.

Hot Diamonds is still stacking 'BF30' for 30% off and 'JEWELS' for free delivery

Runforwine · 09/12/2021 10:18

Help! My daughter has asked for dungeons and dragons, I've looked online but have just ended up confused by all the choices. Does anyone know what would be the correct one to get? Thanks for all the helpWink

BooRadleyIsFree · 09/12/2021 10:25

@Bellie99 Hi, I've bought the bundle from Argos, I've got to collect on Wednesday. I feel a bit sick about spending so much! I'm sure my son will love it though. Thank you so much for your help 🙏

OhRex · 09/12/2021 10:28

Thanks @Sunsetsupernova - I’ve gone for it! Fingers crossed it gets here by next Thursday…

Bellie99 · 09/12/2021 10:37

@BooRadleyIsFree well done! I'm sure he will think you are the best!!

StopGoQuitStart · 09/12/2021 10:42

Lidl has more toys coming in on 16th including a longboard with led lights. I had never heard of this before reading last thread and although they looking for electric one thought worth mentioning.

They also have gaming lights for £14.99 which could be a good gift for those not into toys anymore for their bedrooms. They looked pretty cool. Had Xbox animal cross and I think PlayStation (the xo one) and a “?” (You can tell we haven’t reached the gaming stage yet by my spot in descriptions there Grin)

Assuming she's not played much the starter set is probably best - you just need to add people.
Runforwine · 09/12/2021 11:04

@2319inprogress Great, thanks. I'll get that ordered.

evtheria · 09/12/2021 11:13

@Notlongnow1 So pleased it’s helped you! I also looked at the magic mixies but felt it wasn’t quite right for DS, really happy with this one.

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 09/12/2021 11:20

Matalan code attached.

Urgh was almost finished but DS has just announced he doesn’t like his plastic water bottles anymore. He already has a ‘Christmas’ chilly bottle but wants a normal one now too. Vaguely remember there being an offer/referral scheme previously.

AlexinMotherland · 09/12/2021 11:46

Use MSE40 on hot diamonds instead of BF30 for 40% off, also stacks with JEWELS. I got sent a birthday voucher for £15 off that also stacked so worth adding your birthday on your account.

AlexinMotherland · 09/12/2021 11:48

If you can go today @shinny I have 25% off clothes and could send you my sparks barcode to use

Tinysnickers · 09/12/2021 11:53

Hi all, I've got this entire thread to catch up on, got behind due to real life going a bit bonkers.

Does anyone know a way to get a discount at Smyths toys please? Or any other way to get a spirograph 30 piece set cheaper from somewhere else?
I am a bit horrified at the cost for a few bits of plastic!!

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 09/12/2021 11:55

Anyone know if there's still a neom box on look fantastic? I couldn't see it but struggled to find it the first time too 🤣

I've been sent a 20% off code and FIL just sent me some Christmas money, can't decide if I really want the diffuser of not 🤦🏻‍♀️

Blizy · 09/12/2021 12:04

A little help please? My dh would like a heated body warmer/gillet. Any recommendations? I've seen some on Amazon but unsure if they are
Any good.

shinny · 09/12/2021 12:10

I used HotStock when I wanted a PS5, it's free
It sends a notification to your phone when they are in stock.
If you upgrade to premium (which I think is £4.99 u get notifications faster)

Froppysue · 09/12/2021 12:47

My silly phone won’t let me tag anyone today, but thank you for all the candle recommendations, I’ll check them all out but lots to choose from now Smile

Anyone else having a panic with how close it’s all getting? I haven’t even finished my girls (some of dd3s gifts seem to be lost in the post!) never mind starting anyone else Blush hoping to buy dh something on Monday, and thinking nieces and nephews will just be money in a card! Although I did see puzzle boxes to put money in which looked fun but they were £5.50 each on Amazon, has anyone seen cheaper?
