Thread 3 - the one with the speedily written title

[Reastie]

It's early September and we're already on thread 3 - wonder how many threads we'll get to this year! Any bets? Mine is 29!

If you have a referral link for a website, do post it on this thread

See post 2 for some (hopefully) useful links.

Hoping somebody can help me please, has anyone seen this travel cup on a British website ?
My DS3 is mad on anything Viking related and has mentioned he would like this, but I can only find it on US sites.

Thank you @Justhereforthechristmasthreads - a great excuse for another B and M trip!

Rocky Road Cadbury bar?! Now that sounds delicious!!!!!

Melissa and Doug animal magnets down to £5.75 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00272N8KS?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1&psc=1

I can confirm they are very thick and toasty - I love mine -DS bought us all one from Dunnes last Christmas- everyone’s fav present

My thrift order has just arrived. Apart from one pair of trousers (for my husband) that are a bit shiny from being ironed too hot, everything is in really good condition. I'm really impressed with it for the price I paid.

Hi @FairytaleofNewHampshire not sure if this is useful/you already know but House of Spells in London has a viking section.

If you type viking into the below site it shows you all the merch they have!

Christmastimeuk have a sale on.

I've just bought 110 single tree decorations (for a charity Xmas tree festival!)and 20 other items for less than £40 including the steep £7.95 postage.
JOY10 should take 10% off.

(I've never used them before but reviews are good).

Thanks for the Disney Store free delivery tip off, I got a Turning Red t shirt for £4.50 and they have some of the accessory sets for the dolls for £3.20! (Both in the outlet section)

Just seen these mini jars of jam etc
You can choose 6 flavours (inc choc spread and honey) and get 12 jars of each so 72 in total for £25, or 35p each.

@FilthyforFirth Thank you for your suggestion, I hadn't heard of them before. There are plenty of things on there he would love.

You're welcome @FairytaleofNewHampshire I get a lot of Harry Potter stuff from there and can vouch for the site!

I just got these nice lights for my front porch from Amazon. I wouldnt have paid full price but the 60% off voucher takes it down to £15. You get 3 and each star has its own remote so can hang separately or together

It’s Half Price Friday again at Boots.

If you spend £60+ you get £10’s worth of Advantage card points. Today’s offers include a half price blood pressure monitor. There are also gift sets and hand creams which could be useful stocking fillers which you could put in a £2 Champneys Weekend Retreat bag

I found several discount codes online for Boots but none worked with what I wanted to buy.

Can I please ask what the appeal of the hooded blankets is?

I reckon my dd would love one, but I also can’t help but think a dressing gown would be warmer.

Mine is warmer than a dressing gown. I wear a DG when I have showered and getting ready in the morning. My Oodie is on at night to keep me cosy. It doesn’t look like you’ve not been dressed all day in a dressing gown. It’s big enough to cover you on the sofa.

Groupon are doing a £35 gift card which gets you £50 in total. Nice gift for a teenager or if you wanted to chose your own sportswear

Comfier than a dressing gown too, nothing tied round your waist. You also can't put the hood up on a dressing gown because it doesn't have one!

Amazon.co.uk have a variety. Type in Viking travel mug.

And you can’t tuck your legs in to a dressing gown and be completely cocooned

I loved these little personalised reindeer place settings that were popular here last year. £1.25 each so I got one for all.the children we know. Well packaged and presented from a seller on etsy here

I'd reccomend them if you didn't buy last year.

For £1.50 they sell a hanging version too and have a few other things but nothing different enough for me to order this year. Has anyone seen anything for a similar bargain price? I may go for the knomes from the same seller but at £2 each they feel less bargainous!

From time to time there are great cashback options on quidco/ topcashback for etsy so may be worth waiting until then to buy them.

Hi @Soscrewed I just looked at the reindeer - thinking about them to mark stocking hanging places! - and these mirrored place names came up which seem quite bargainous at 85p each, if the more modern style fits your decor scheme

If anyone else was looking for the lego set I mentioned before, it is now on sale at zavvi and iwoot for £89.99

@Sheknowtheyrhinestones if you haven't already bought it IWOOT do 20% off with a referral code, I'll pop mine on the appropriate thread, you take your chances with customer service though.

I tried a few codes (new customer etc) and none would work. Are they not reliable? I was going to order through zavvi but it was easier on topcashback with iwoot

Hi folks, I’ve just popped into B&M and they have the initial stockings, gift bags and bottle bags back in store!
