@Plaidparty - thank you so much! Free shipping to RoI over £20 and books are exempt from VAT so I've treated myself :)

Do they ever have offers on chilly bottles? They are so expensive full price

FluffyFluffMonster · 03/08/2022 17:31

i bought a couple for gifts around Christmas time last year- there was a referral code on the referral thread- think it might’ve been free personalisation?? But then there was also a half price sale so it worked out a bargain.. I can’t fully recall the details though sorry!!!!

LostMyRubySlippers · 03/08/2022 17:32

Also maybe Tk maxx??

@FluffyFluffMonster
Yes I got a good offer last year from their website.
However we also got 50% off Chilly bottles buying from the Urban Outfitters website.
I appreciate there are other brands but the recipient only wanted Chillys.
Tkmaxx also stock them.

Jfw82 · 03/08/2022 19:28

@FluffyFluffMonster second the comment on tk max of you don't need a specific pattern I had some great ones from there. Or Emma Bridgwater have some chilly bottles in their designs so worth watching their sale too

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 03/08/2022 19:31

This is a bit of an 'idea' gift that I did last year for DH and has turned out to be a real bargain. Using my Clubcard points I bought him membership to our local picturehouse cinema. By complete luck I got it at the end of November when they were having a Black Friday sale. So I got the membership PLUS for the same price (about £20 of points iirc)
This has got us 8 free tickets for the year plus a discount on everything else (tickets/food etc). I count Clubcard as essentially free but he didn't know that 😂
I might get it again this year!

Chillys and Sho are both really good. I agree with others that TK Maxx often has deals on those sorts of bottles too.

WeetabixandStrawbs · 03/08/2022 19:53

Amazon have Articulate! For Kids in the sale at the moment, I think 35% off. Bought one as a good all round gift for family friends.

Thank you to everyone sharing on here, so far I've benefitted from the JL onesie and other JL bargains, as well as a beautiful personalised book from Wonderbly - all using discounts or in the sale.

I'm getting Christmas sorted early this year as expecting an autumn baby. Don't want to have to think about present shopping once they're here, will be lovely to just enjoy the festive season as a family 😊

The Spicery has a sale on now including this ‘12 curries of Christmas’ (best before feb 2023) www.thespicery.com/the-twelve-curries-of-christmas

PasswordProtection · 03/08/2022 21:18

Chilly's are fab
made hot mint tea in mine at 12 and it is still too hot to drink.

Bit of a random one but was looking for some new books for DD and came across the Tank museums gift shop! Lots of books reduced to £1.99 and £2.99, ended up spending £30 so totalled it up on Amazon and they came to £70!

Also have gifts for adults, Haynes manuals about tanks for £5 for example and cheap pint glasses.

Ohh that's a good find.
No just about military stuff at all in the kids section.
The DK dinosaur book for £4.99 looks like it would appeal to a lot of kids.
I know the sticker dressing books were popular on her- soldiers one for £1.99 on this website.

Yalz · 03/08/2022 22:28

If you just want a Chilly’s bottle and not a coffee cup as well TKMaxx has 5 different designs at £12.99 each.

Yes. What a great website. Thanks.

FluffyFluffMonster · 03/08/2022 23:07

Thanks everyone! I got two Chillys bottles for £26 so 2 for the price of one at tk maxx

AlexinMotherland · 03/08/2022 23:13

It’s weird because I kept driving past the tank museum ‘tanks crossing’ signs on a recent holiday to Dorset and now I’m buying books from them!

Anyway, the actual point to this post was to say if you sign up to their newsletter they also send you a 10% off code.

maudisgonne · 04/08/2022 00:08

Can anyone please remind me of the really cheap book site I found on here last year.
Got lots of lovely pressies.

Thismonkeysgonetodevon · 04/08/2022 00:16

Thanks so much to the poster who mentioned the 3 for £5 mini plant pots. I’d been looking for some for a while and these were great value.

I’ve joined a bit late and haven’t kept up the past few days so apologies if these have already been mentioned.

Temptation Gifts have at least 20% off site wide, including Jellycat. It’s not often I see Jellycat reduced so thought it was worth a mention Temptation Gifts 20% off

Asda has a few electrical items reduced including this half price 12 in 1 BaByliss styler BaByliss Styler Could be a good gift for a teen.

Amazon have some books reduced to £2 including some of the Stick Dog Series, Pirate Blunderbeard and Koala Calamity. All have good reviews. Amazon also have 2 for £7 on selected children’s paperbacks.

John Lewis have some Women’s onesies for £10.50. Might be a useful extra come Autumn and the energy price hikes. JL women’s onesie They also have some half price pyjamas.

If anyone is thinking of getting a Balsham Hill Christmas Tree, if you sign up to the UK site, they usually send a unique 20% discount code by email in November. This can be used in conjunction with any sale they already have.

I’m looking at getting my DD an Instax camera this year if anyone sees any good deals :)
