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.

Smiggle has these on offer in store today which looked like a nice kit to stash

I have had a box in the past as a new customer and they are really easy to cancel and you can do it all online

Thanks for the gin!

I ordered one. Il put it all in a hamper and give it to my brother for Xmas or my auntie.

Im on a roll 🤣

That looks good value.
Shame mine is too old now.

Sod it, I've ordered the Gin too 😁

Just came on to say the craft gin is on hot deals. The code is WELCOME100-JUL-TELEG

I've done this offer more than once. I'm surprised I've got away with it. It's really easy to cancel too. Thanks Op

Oooh that gin offer is too good to miss! Unfortunately I've been a customer before.. anyone know if I get my husband to sign up they'll allow the offer (same delivery address?)

Had a basket full of bits on the original party bag but went on to pay and prices have all gone up - well done to everyone who got a delivery.

You can order to the same address. This is the second box I have ordered and my DH has ordered in the past (all to the same address)

Excellent @laura1711 thank you for confirming. I'll be making an account for him and ordering for me later. 😁

I've just tried the gin offer on a different email address. Its all been processed but I will let you know if it gets cancelled 🤷🏼. Currently 36 weeks pregnant so it will arrive in good time I hope 😂

Now that's an excellent idea!

Does anyone know whether the BBE dates are decent? I'd be gutted if it was end JAN 23 or similar for a gift

A bottle of gin would never last more then a month in this house so Jan 23 for a Dec gift is perfect 🤣

If any of the bits such as the snacks are out of date before il eat them 😋and replace them with similar.

I think Aldi had some nice gin bits in recently too.

I am looking at getting some UGG slippers as a gift, the chestnut are £53.17 which is such a good price, has anyone ordered uggs from Amazon and know if they are genuine.

uggs

Does anyone have any recommendations for a rock tumbler? My 10 year old would love one and would have the patience to wait until the rocks were ready. They are quite expensive though and have mixed reviews. Don’t really want to get one which would break straight away.

My "no choice" turtle doves have arrived today and are great!! Was expecting them to be rather ugly but they're both lovely plain colours perfect for my mum & I so I'm thrilled! Huge thanks to OP for that one

Also just ordered my gin had it previously (from dh email address) and was really pleased with it

I’m such a sheep - ordered the gin!! The thing is, I’m not sure if it’s for me or for a gift? Moneys really tight so should probably be a gift! Anyway thanks for the link!

Simply be/jd Williams group are likely to do 40% off on Black Friday which would make them cheaper than Amazon and definitely genuine.

@Riddikulussness Brambley hedge! That stirred a memory from deep in the recesses, wow!

@laura1711 take a look at the ugg outlet too

Christmasiscoming a poster after my own ❤️ 😁

My 5poundstuff hooded blankets arrived today. Both Kudd.ly ones in navy. returning one as it has a hole in and loads of lining coming through the seams. The other one is perfect.

I’ve had the gin before and cancelled no bother. Snacks have been short dated in te past, but gin will last years. Ordering some for my sisters.

Off to buy me - erm, someone else rather some gin 😀

I got excited for a mo there and forgot I'm pregnant so no gin for me. 🤣 but I'll put it aside for my mum for Christmas.
