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.

I have a 10 off 100 for argos if anyone needs it

Help!!
I've realised that I need two more stockings. Any bright ideas on high street shops that might still have some I'm? Can't get to a Home. Bargains or B&M, and am a little dubious about the chances of actually getting any in the post now

@Vebrithien our Lidl had some this evening if you are close to one

@Vebrithien my local Matalan still had lots in yesterday.

I popped to hobby craft today & they’ve got kids colour in canvases for £2.

Help please...my SIL and Brother are hosting this year, and SIL's lovely parents are attending - long story involving COVID red lists etc and it's a last minute addition. It needs to be small/light and thoughtful - they'll only be in the UK for 2 weeks so can't be an experience. Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion @Martinisarebetterdirty think I’ll sulk for the rest of the evening and start searching for paddling pools in the morning. Just had the £10 off £100 voucher sent to me too, talk about great timing.

@coffeetofunction

Sparklinglime thank you for you help. Managed to get a chain for £19.99with a discount code and nectar point. Perfect!!

Yay! 👍

Any hotel chocolat codes around? Thank you

Argos code

[quote AlexinMotherland]@RainbowPhilosophy a hot tub wouldn’t be my choice but he’s always wanted one so was trying to make a grand gesture after a terrible year.

Don’t know what to get him now, they’ve all shot up in price probably so they can be discounted post Christmas.[/quote]
Saw hot tubs in Tesco today for £350 if it helps

@PurpleMustards Jacques of London is worth a look

@MiniatureHotdog HCDELXMAS3 gives you £5 off £30, £10 off £50 or £20 off £80 at Hotel Chocolat - it isn't personalised but it's one use per household.

Have to say HC (despite lack of cheap bundles like last year ) were brilliant in terms of communication, quick postage and good packaging! The chocolate was slightly too nice and some didn't make it to Christmas

Amazon have the Harry Potter Lego Knight Bus down to £34.99 but it's currently out of stock

Sorry - wrong thread - have reported to be deleted!!

@alexinMotherland this hot tub is on sale in homebase. Not sure what size you are looking for, this is for 6 people?

www.homebase.co.uk/atlantic-6-seater-blue-spa/12891868.html

@alexinmotherland I forgot to put the price, its £225 which is a fab price for a 6 seater.

You could get a chemical starter kit from amazon to wrap up as it says delivery can take 5 days, so might be after Xmas now.

Thanks to whoever suggested this for someone. I've ended up getting it as a gift for my 1 year old nephew. His older sisters & parents will love it too 😁

@mummyof2boys30

I have a 10 off 100 for argos if anyone needs it

@mummyof2boys30 could I have this if you still have it please? I have a tv to buy my daughter so every little helps lol

The language fir an 8 year old seems odd. Asking permission to speak to school.

What kind of rules ?

For those still looking, our nearest Smyths had a big bin full of Squishmallows so I managed to get the other two needed!

You can check stock online which I always like. It told me it has 15+ (but couldn't tell you which ones as I was looking at a "series") and took a chance. Thrilled to have ticked those off plus Earth thanks to @Justhereforthechristmasthreads !

@Starlightstarbright1 think you may have the wrong thread.

I thought I was done so stopped following these threads as I was just buying stuff for the sake of it and was spending far too much money. Now I’ve realised I’ve barely got my DH anything.

Any recommendations for Nespresso compatible coffee pod gifts?

Glad you managed to get some more of the ones you were after @lyrasilvertongueBelacqua but glad I could help with the Earth one.

These threads have been so lovely and heartwarming with people helping others out where they can.
