I jumped on the JL onesies bandwagon too, thanks to whoever posted about them.
can’t wait for some cold weather now!

My John Lewis order arrived. The onesie are fabulous, can't wait to see the kids in them at Christmas.

Mine arrive today too. All are really good, especially the Dino onesies!

CantStandMeow · 20/07/2022 22:08

So jealous you got Dino ones, they'd sold out in the sizes I was looking for and they looked awesome!

Guys there’s a similar offer to beauty bay on all beauty outlet pages. Buy 3 and get 50% off with code OUTLET50

They have bomb cosmetics boxes at about £4.50, a neon sleep gift st under a tenner and dupe of the neom well-being pod for under £20 using the code. Free delivery over £20.

Sorry fragrance direct not beauty bay!

Sideorderofchips · 20/07/2022 22:11

Thanks so much for the Fragrance Direct tip off. My order arrived today and the items are lovelier than I imagined. 4 presents sorted for £25!

noodledoodler · 21/07/2022 00:39

@RJnomore1 thanks, there's also a free pillow mist if you spend over £40 on neom, it looks to have calculated it on the spend before 50% discount, its been added to my order anyway, lets see if it arrives.
I made a couple of fragrance direct orders, one was cancelled. I kept checking back and some of the items were coming back in and out of stock so maybe there were problems with other orders being cancelled too. Only one dispatch email so far. Thanks to the OP of that one, quite a bit of shopping done 😀. Looking forward to Reastie's appearance, posts so far have been great ya all.

@RJnomore1 is this on beautyoutlets.co.uk? I can't find any Neom sets, and it's saying the code isn't valid for me 🤷

Thank you @noodledoodler !

Got some lovely things as gifts from all beauty. Got a Anastasia glow highlight palate for £14.50 where it should be £41. Reviews are brilliant too.

GrinAndVomit · 21/07/2022 11:02

I’ve just spent £66 on the John Lewis site. I got 3 onesies, 2 bathrobes, 2 pairs of slippers and 2 raincoats (one which turns colour in the rain).
Originally I just got my daughter a onesie and my son a lunch box, we’re moving soon so was reluctant to start collecting for Christmas early) but I’ve had to go back and stock up for my nieces. I think I’d be kicking myself in November if I hadn’t.

ancientgran · 22/07/2022 11:47

I don't always start Christmas this early but with prices rising I thought I'd join in if that's OK. I've bought one present, should be delivered next week. It is a Molton Brown set that is reduced from £94 to £61. It is for DIL and I normally spend around £100 so I think if I get a box of chocolates to go with the set I will have saved £25 or so. It's a start. GC are at the age where they really want money for the older ones and with the little ones they have so much that I usually ask parents for suggestions or put money in their savings so not much scope to save with them. I have another DIL to buy for and then my own 4 adult children. Four children, their 4 partners and 6 GC does make for an expensive Christmas.

@ancientgran with the adults in your family have you considered suggesting a secret Santa with a set budget? Realistically everyone is in the same boat and you may find a response of relief from the adults because a) it saves everyone money b) saves everyone the time of having to shop for appropriate gifts and simplifies Christmas.

Thanks, I'll have a think.
