Thread 2 - the one with a bath humbug.

[Reastie]

Ho ho ho and welcome to the bargain Christmas thread - home of the discounts for Christmas shopping.

Thanks I've ordered two pairs, could never justify full price.

@Christmasiscominghohoho yes, I ordered 4 pairs and was sent 1.

I imagine that the person just looking at the order noticed name and address and missed the number or the total cost. They were sent in a little box which was only big enough for one or possibly two pairs, so it was simple to send a photo as evidence: I don't know if it was needed.

@Christmasiscominghohoho probably! At first I thought they had sent 2 because of the hole and they were just being nice.

I think the hole can be sewn up easily enough though.

My gin has arrived too - has anyone found a best before date on the actual gin? Unfortunately the other bits and pieces all seem to be dated October in my box, so it looks like I'll only be able to gift the actual gin for Christmas. It was still good value for a bottle of gin though!

Is everyone ordering the fingerless gloves/wrist warmers/full gloves?! Can't figure out what the offer was now.

Ok I've ordered two pairs of fingerless gloves from the ebay one 🐑

They'll probably be having a meltdown right now with all these orders 278 sold according to the eBay listing.

So that's kuddlys and gloves now just need some thermals and I'm all set for winter 😂

I really don't get it either. Happens every year, pages of it! Hoping we can all move on from it soon 🙏

I don't get the hype either but have bought some for mother, hopefully she likes them! She does wear fingerless gloves though, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

@TwinsAndTiramisu
I wouldn't get them for me but my mum is always cold particuarly her hands so they will make a good present for her. She will also like the fact it's a fairly small company and they recycle the cashmere

I second this. Fantastic quality and a great cause

Picked up the gin box from my mums… seems to be coffee themed in mine as the orange can is coffee themed too. I hate coffee 😂 wish the bottles wasn’t plain tonic water too as I seen someone have pink one.

but for less then a tenner it’s pretty good.

@Christmasiscominghohoho those chocolate almonds are lush! I buy them in Sainsburys sometimes but they’re quite pricey.

@Christmasiscominghohoho I got the same as you. I'm interested to try the angosturas bitter with it. It tastes yummy with vodka

Another turtle doves sheep! I've got a pair I bought a few years ago (I think recommended on a previous Christmas bargain thread) and they are still lovely to wear. I've now ordered another 3, will use as gifts if the colours are ok (if not then more for me!)

What is the gin offer please? Or have I missed it 😩

I bought one pair of those fingerless things as well. I will see if I like the and if not I will give them to mil for Xmas.

Thanks for the site recommendation @QueenOfWeeds

next thread title definitely needs to be turtle doves related 😂

My gin arrived - happy with it for what I paid but even happier that I remembered to cancel my subscription!

3 pairs of turtle doves arrived from eBay too - all have labels and I can't see any obvious defects except that one is really small - that's fine, I'm going to give them to dSis who has ridiculously small hands! There was a cream coloured pair I'm going to give to MiL and a fab red and black stripy pair i'm keeping all for me 😂

Came onto the Christmas thread on the first day of September thinking thats when this thread starts to find you're already on the 2nd one 🤣🤣

Looking forward to bargains this year after being made redundant in April and as you can see from the username am expecting surprise baby number 3 in March!

Really pleased with my gin, I got the same as @VivaJen, dates on snacks jan 23 though chocolate already gone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Of course it does, it’s even Christmassy - two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree….

Nope. Not just you, I don’t get it either.

Significantly more than 2 turtle doves 😂. I’m surprised we haven’t cleared them out of stock entirely!

I have small hands if anyone has a navy pair of turtle doves they want to offload 😆 I resisted the eBay offer because I didn’t want any funky colours but that’s the luck of the draw I suppose - the ones I ordered for gifts from their last deal were lovely though.

Very happy, I've had both types of gin. The cotton one and the brass lion which appears to be worth £65 on its own! That'll be a nice treat for my DM
