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.

@Usernamewhoknows
Absolutely beautiful colouring books Rosie Flo - very different from the usual & they captivate my girls.

Sticker books - mosaic or Dressing up

Reusable sticker scenes

stamp set

Or pool the budget & get a boardgame?

Not sure if it helps anyone but those little willow tree figures are reduced on amazon. Normally £24- currently between 14-20

I got my Disney order cancelled but they have still taken the money out, anyone in a similar boat?

I've name changed since but was active he a few weeks (possibly months) ago, when I benefitted from a Hype 50% off flash sale I found through here. Anyway, I gifted the tshirt pack to DNephew and he was suitably impressed so thank you! I wouldn't have spotted his other Hype clothes or bought such an expensive gift without this thread and the discount.

Boots have a sale on kids clothing (think it was 50% off). My order isn't due to arrive until 30th December but it might help someone buying for birthdays. I think it must have only recently started as they still had the biggest size (5-6 years) left in some items, which are usually all sold out by the time I find out about their sales!

Sorry, forgot to add that MA50QM takes an extra 10% off if you spend over £50.

IWOOT have free next day delivery on lots of things with code FNDD. I ordered at 10:30pm last night and it's with Hermes this morning so it may arrive today, or possibly in June, who can say

I can't remember who posted about the £10 free for when you join amazon photos and upload 1 photo. Thank you... I've just treated myself to 6 books for £14 all ones I've had in my wishlist. Naughty but cannot wait now!

@methenyouplus4 I got them from M&S , 28£ for 6 I think. I haven't seen them in store, but got them online as a click and collect and I got a text within 48 hours to say they're there. They've always seemed extortionate when I looked elsewhere, but at under 30£ it's not too far off what I'd spend normally for normal ones.

@methenyouplus4 hopefully picture is attached. They were actually £25 so I shall be buying myself a Santa's yumnut to secretly guzzle In the carpark when I pick them up later 🤣

PS 5 available on amazon atm

does everyone know if WHSmith stock yoto cards in store before I treck there ?
Yoto have finally replied to my emails and said they havnt sent my order out as one item won’t be in stock till January & even if I took the one card off the other won’t arrive in time for Christmas 🤯

[quote Methenyouplus4]@Haveyoubrushedyourteeth can I ask where you got your crackers from please?

Another late recommendation please, a small/lightweight single pan camping stove?

Not for camping but for my forest school obsessed son so he can heat a can of food etc on walks.

Not the heat over logs type as we have things for the garden, needs to be something we could pop in a rucksack.

Also if possible, ideally one I can get on Amazon as looking unlikely I'll get to the shops now. I could collect from an Argos or Go Outdoors if they would deliver before the big day.[/quote]
we have a Campinggaz one - it’s basically a little kit that attaches to a gas bottle: campinggaz

That’s a great idea
My 5&7 year old love genius square and we play it too and kids often beat us…

Thank you @Howmanysleepsnow for the Argos code. Appreciate it - used for new microwave as ours gave up couple of weeks ago.

@Picklesbaby I had the same with yoto
Had to chase them for weeks luckily had time to cancel and reorder elsewhere. Its terrible customer service not letting people know something is out of stock so rest of there order can be sent! If you go on yoto website and scroll right down there's a list of stockist as not all whsmith have them.

Thank you for all the suggestions, I’m going to go for a colouring book each and then pool remaining £ to buy a board game to share as recommended

Does anyone know any discount codes for accessorize at all please?

Does anyone know where I can get some nice but not extortionate fudge online? DH always asks for Thorntons chocolate smothered fudge but it's out of stock online and I won't be able to get to a shop. Thanks everyone for all the bargains posted this year, and the laughs.

Just twitched and accidentally bought a Mermaid Ken because it was only £12 - down from £23, on Amazon 😖😖😖

I’ve posted a separate thread on this but it’s been about half an hour with no replies and I’m panicking 😂 can someone please tell me what gas I need to go with an ooni?

@Yeknom

My Disney order was also cancelled.

I still manage to kill succulents and have been very happy with my fake plants from primark!

The trick is to literally do nothing to them. I killed a cactus by overwatering, so I haven't watered any of my cacti or succulents for four years abd they're doing great. If only my kids were so easy to look after 😂

I have started to get a steady stream of emails saying the last few bits are all delayed/out of stock/cancelled

So I've been all done and wrapped for a little while (away for Christmas this year so had an earlier deadline to get everything done by). We're now staying with the in-laws. They're all still at the stage of asking each other what they want for Christmas 😂 cannot even imagine the stress of doing my Christmas shopping this close to Christmas!

@Billyandemily thank you ! Non local so I’ve just driven to Huddersfield and managed to get some . I wouldn’t mind but there was a roald Dahl collection and 6 other single cards that could of been sent.
Shall now work on getting a refund
