Thread one - the one with no name of note

[Reastie]

It feels bizarre setting up the first Christmas thread on one of the hottest days of the year, yet here we are!

Lovely to see you all; take a seat and grab a mince pie as they get passed around.

Please do alert me to anything for the next thread's page of links (I'm starting fresh this year). Hope you've had a good year and looking forward to celebrating and sharing our bargain buys.

Thanks for the tip! Points are points so any referral click still accepted :D

I received my order f hooded blankets from 5poundshop today, I ordered the pink, pink unicorn purple tie dye all were kudd.ly, and ordered a blue, which was the oodie branded. Honestly, I think they are fakes as the label stitching isn't as good as expected but they seem ok.

Not sure how to do the clicky link thing but weird fish have a half price sale with an extra 20% off which has helped me get winter woollies for presents. There's a big range of options and they arrived quickly too!

I dont know if this has been suggested but squishmallow do a mum and baby cuddly combo. My daughters love these are they are super squishy and cuddly! Or you can buy the squishmallows in all different sizes so could easily have a family! And my daughters used to love the puppy surprise, creepy face but loved stuffing the babies in and out of the belly!

And some switch cases come with little holders for the games, that's how we store ours so it's all together!

Just saying thanks.
I've got the Lego dots and a present for mil from hot diamonds.
Excellent work, love these threads every year

Thanks to whoever posted the hooded blankets. Bought a few as presents and a couple for us. Just came on to say the Koala ones are available again on 5poundstuff

Have yours came yet?

Used your link, thanks 😊

Had both of my hooded blankets delivered. One purple tie dye and one pink. Both came in kudd.ly packaging with kids.ly labels. Very soft!

Yes I received my first order within 5 days. The two navy were Primark but the others were all kudd.ly ones. I have just ordered two koala ones.

Does anyone know how long the hot diamonds deal is on for? Payday is Friday and have fallen in love with the anais locket!

Does anyone have the Lego dots link please? I can’t find the voucher one

Oooh yay! Thanks!! Hope you enjoy!

The offer isn’t showing for me atm but the same item is included in the Argos 2 for £20 if that helps?

Another thanks to @Irritatedmum for the Hot Diamonds code. Ive got some earnings for my niece from the outlet so only ended up paying £15, complete bargain!

@FluffyFluffMonster moneysavingexpert says midnight on 30 august for the hot diamonds code

my 3 hoodie blankets came from the 5pound website.

both navy were Kuddly (not vacuum sealed)
purple tie dye was also Kuddly (vacuum sealed).

They were slightly smaller sized then what I imagined though. I compared it to my daughters authentic oodie and they are smaller and not as thick.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were ‘fake’ Kuddly but for the price they are good.

That’s my brother sorted & part of my partners done too.

For anyone looking for beauty boxes here's a bargain - easy enough to cancel after (it's s subscription so be sure to cancel if you don't want to continue)

My two navy hooded blankets arrived today. From recent conversation on here I expected them to be Primark. I was just confirming that in my mind while looking at the poor quality of the stitching and the lining fabric when I came across an oodie label in the seam.

Could anyone with a real Oodie or Kuddly direct from those companies kindly compare those labels with mine, and see if they look different?

Did you get one of each?

i got 2 Kuddly.

I just chucked my daughters authentic oodie in the washing machine. When it’s finished il take a picture for you.

although I don’t think it will prove much, the labels would be easy to fake and stitch in.

Thanks for the Melissa and Doug sticker pads from Amazon link.
They have just arrived and are lovely and huge !
Great for little one in the family and excellent value.

Thank you @Irritatedmum

Have you done this and cancelled after?

My ESPA Christmas sale presents arrived and packaging was very smart - Christmas is nearly sorted

I just tried the ok beauty box and they canceled my order straight away
