Thread 28 - the one with the amarillo bulb and winter cheery plants

[Reastie]

Thanks @OyTheBumbler for the title. Now, does the Amarillo bulb grow the place or the song?!

I’ve finally updated the referral thread link in the post.

Wonder if this thread will get us to Christmas now we’re getting closer to being done.

Just wanted to say a huge HAPPY CHRISTMAS to everyone on here. Thank you for posting all your links and sharing codes etc; it’s made Christmas so much easier for so many people and I know I’ll be thinking of you all on Christmas Day.

Does anyone have or know a white company code?

Mil has finally decided what she wants for Christmas when I finished weeks ago.

I just got an email from gruum saying any gift set orders by 12 lunchtime today will be upgraded to express delivery.

Not much time left but I managed to get my nephew a gift set using the 50% off code too.

@Jacopone

Has anyone ordered from Joules recently? How long did it take to deliver? I ordered 15 Dec and it does say 7-10 days in email confirmation…. If it’s 7 I’m safe but if 10 I’m tanked and will be be putting colourful drawings of said items in the boxes….

I think mine was 11 days in the end, it arrived last Friday.

Just seen that if you haven't used amazon pick up before, for one order only they're offering £5 off a £20 spend until 31 Dec if you use the code 5TRYPICKUP

Hi all. My children want Jolly ranchers! Any idea of where they are not so extortionate????

@CommanderBurnham B&M occasionally do them.

Any recommendations for where I can buy a nice case of wine, delivered, with a gift note/card? (I.e.to let the recipient know who it is from)

How is everyone getting on?

I'm pretty much done, just waiting on a couple of Amazon orders to arrive today and tomorrow. Also need to venture out for a Christmas scratchcard and Costa giftcard for DH to go in his stocking.

I am also on the lookout for something for twin nephews (Age 4).

@evtheria thank you. It's going to be difficult as they are with me all the way up to when they go back to school 🙄

@CommanderBurnham the Spar here sell them. £3 for a biggish bag.

I need to go into town; I need a book which amazon don’t sell but hopefully Waterstones in town has, a wetherspoons gift voucher and some scratch cards. Otherwise all done.

My Disney order has been dispatched.

@torthecatlady nearly there.

• Just realised M&S order from weeks ago only had 1 pair of PJs, not 2 (for 2 DSs).
• Need to order a couple of wine deliveries because I just can’t be bothered to pack up and post hampers.
• also waiting for the last few deliveries, one of which (one of DS1’s main presents) seems to be stuck in Poland

Thanks for the suggestions @noscoobydoodle and @SewVeryLazy

@RJnomore1 you can do click and collect on the Waterstones website to check if it's definitely in stock in your local one first.

@peabody thank you that’s great! I didn’t know - off to look now.

Usually dispatched from the publisher within 10-15 days! Ah well...

@cymrumam

Just used your voucher, thank you so much. Merry Christmas 🎄

Despite being nicely organised for Christmas myself this year (😇), to help out a family member, I’m now trying to find a Dyson hairdryer at the last minute and they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Can anyone please let me know if you’ve seen them online anywhere?

Thanks!

@dancemom Aldi have a gift box of a pair of socks and a trivia quiz on a related subject for £3.99 e.g. socks with guitars on and a music quiz. The questions all seem to be about recent stuff so good for teenagers. There was football, music, film, gaming and a festive one (but the festive one had jokes instead).

Dear ladies you have kept me entertained for the past month or two so thank you. Biggest source of entertainment by far has been your reactions to M&S Gary Barlow offerings. Just thought I’d let you know they have emailed one last offer to those who were not lucky enough to attend his intimate concert…highlights of the concert MERRY CHRISTMAS

Seasalt sale in store (for Christmas shopping) and online.

Just to say thank you to whoever recommended Vera Tucci many threads ago - I was so impressed with both the quality of the goods and the speedy service that I ended up placing three orders in quick succession. There will be some very happy recipients on Christmas Day!

@burblish what did you but from Vera tucci. I keep looking at the batwing tassel jumpers.

@Daisy829: I got various pairs of gloves - all seem to be good quality, great price, decent packaging (but not over the top) so will look good as a gift, and really efficient service (same day despatch and only £1 for delivery each time). Latest order placed today was for a scarf and gloves.
