Christmas bargain prequel thread 3 - the most we've ever had!

[Sideorderofchips]

Phew I keep losing track of you all!! Thread 3 already!!

Have you tried Look Fantastic? Someone yesterday posted the discount code HINCHLF which gives maybe 15% off?

If anyone else is in need of a Tonie carrier, this is the cheapest I've found them

Thanks @Thesearmsofmine, that's stocking fillers and two presents bought from TOPBC!

Has anyone had anything from the original party bag company before as recommended unthread? The reaso I ask is it does seem like a bargain but the reviews on trustpilot are a little worrying

@paintedcupcake a colleague got a party kit from them last year and it was great. I've paid through PayPal just in case!

How is the material? I've bamboo socks that I love but I'm not a big fan of the retailer. Always looking for a switch but always disappointed by the degree of softness or the quality of the finish (think 50 squillion loose threads inside) of substitute ones

Thanks to everyone who made suggestions for presents for a runner :-) plenty for me to look at

That Seasalt website is shocking...jumps round all over the place.

Good price for the socks though.

Has anyone sees any good deals on a good quality chainsaw?

Nothing says Christmas like a chain saw! 🤔🤣

Just bought 27 pairs of socks!! Think that's what I'll be giving everyone for Christmas!!

Apologies @2under2howscary, I came on to recommend Direct Cosmetics for perfume/ aftershave but they don't sell the brands you're looking for! They do however have quite a lot of unboxed skincare and perfume brands, if anyone needs some to put together a hamper.

@whatausername ,

“How is the material? I've bamboo socks that I love but I'm not a big fan of the retailer. Always looking for a switch but always disappointed by the degree of softness or the quality of the finish (think 50 squillion loose threads inside) of substitute ones”

The socks feel soft and don’t have a seam across the toes, but is this what you mean by loose threads? I think it’s inevitable when you have designs woven in. My more expensive Gudrun Sjoden socks are similar. If you don’t like it, then there are plain Bamboo socks in 4 colours at £1:50 each pair that might suit you better.

I like Seasalt, though.

That is super helpful, thank you for taking the time to do that. The socks I had mind in re. the threads are socks that have toe seams and a seam at the ankle "cuff" with threads two inches long trailing about. Not a common issue I suppose! But annoying when it's every pair in two 3-packs. Won't buy that brand again! Away to place a Sea Salt order 😊

@whatausername I hope you like your Seasalt socks when they arrive.

Mine have a seam at the side of the toes, but not across it.

I bought a couple of packs of socks from Sainsbury’s, with 3 or 5 in each pack, a couple of years ago. Plain black with various star patterns on the sole. They were very comfy and I loved them, until they all started to go into holes in exactly the same place, where the patterned bit joined the plain section. None left now.

Haha 27 pairs of socks is impressive...now I feel measly having only bought 7! Hope they're OK though.

And morning everyone, 😊

My fragrance direct order arrived - all amazing things - pleased with it all so thank you again!!

This is a great price for this Back to the Future Playmobil £12.90

Socks and gloves excellent idea. Also a fleecy headband (possibly reflective too) to keep ears warm and hold ear buds in place too.

I'm a warm runner and regularly strip all my layers off even on a very cold day but love having my extremities toasty!

Ohh just found these Robo Alive dinosaurs that my little boy has been asking for, they seem to be half price at £6 ish each

Just seen as advert for smyths saying 15% off micro scooters ordered before 15th August

Hi everyone - been watching this thread for a few weeks now and have just made my second order! I’m determined to avoid all shops in December…

My first was 18 wax melt bars from Devon Wicks. At £1 a bar for their Christmas scents, I was sceptical as I normally like to avoid buying scents online, but I can vouch that each and every bar smells wonderful. I’ll be splitting them up as smaller gift fillers.

Also just ordered a couple of these postcard socks from Seasalt Cornwall. I initially had the £1.50 ones in my basket, but the presentation and design of these are much nicer IMO.

Olli Ella have buy one get one free on sale items which includes birdie

My Books for Bugs order arrived today- got 24 clearance items, mixture of books & craft stuff, for £20 delivered! Really pleased, will def use them again

My dd also has this which she loves and it gets lots of use. It's included in the offer too.
