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!

I am eagerly awaiting the cinnamon bun offer on Amazon! I missed it multiple times last year but got it in the end!

LaTangerina · 11/09/2022 09:04

This advent calendar for kids is under a tenner right now. Good for kids who like reading & for slightly older kids (so not like the Disney book adverts etc):

@FetlocksBlowingInTheWind thanks for the slippers tip. My toes are poking through my current ones 😳😳😳 so I have treated myself.

Perfect!! 😊

tabbycat985 · 11/09/2022 09:44

Well spotted Fluffy haha! No ageism in this house, we take gran everywhere😂

Also just received an Amazon email offering me 30% off a kindle book I'd been browsing, might be worth keeping an eye on some of those spam emails!

thank you! I get my mum M&S slippers every year at her request. These make that standard gift that extra bit special! Much appreciated!

IggyAce · 11/09/2022 10:41

@Beautifulsunflowers the bakedin kit is £4.78 on Amazon they appear to have updated the packaging. Granted not as cheap as last years.

CottonHeadedNinnyMug · 11/09/2022 10:49

@psuedocream3 oh thank you, I will check

coffeetofunction · 11/09/2022 12:36

Thank you for the fossil link. Managed to get FiL a leather wallet and myself a card holder for under £20 delivered

Snog · 11/09/2022 12:37

A big thank you to the poster who highlighted the Fossil outlet sale.
There is an extra 30% off sale prices and if you sign up for emails another 15% discount which is stackable. You can also get 3.76% back via Quidco. Delivery is free.
I paid £32 for something that was originally £114.
I think there is only another day or two to run of this promotion.

Squ1ggle · 11/09/2022 12:44

Happy to have contributed with the Fossil deal. I usually feel bad I take advantage of the deals others find and don't have enough to offer in return

Ruralretreating · 11/09/2022 12:56

@tabbycat985 I’ve ordered two Playmobil take and play “grans” 😂as gifts - thank you for link. It says out of stock but can still order and they will deliver when available

Agree their outlet is great.

Last Black Friday I sorted several Christmas/birthdays out for a bargain price. All items came well wrapped each with their own little tin making them lovely to gift.

Someaddedsugar · 11/09/2022 13:59

Can anyone think of a bargain I can get for DSIL who I have drawn (again) in the secret Santa? I'd really like to get her something she wouldn't buy herself but our budget is limited to £10 (p&p can be extra). She means a lot to me and I would like to get her something lovely.

Sideorderofchips · 11/09/2022 14:19

Could someone let me know when the initial stockings hit b&m or matalan please.... And would anyone be willing to grab me an A, H and F?

Bastards don't deliver to me. And I really want some to match the santa sacks I managed to get last year. I'll happily pay postage etc!!

@Someaddedsugar what have you got her in the past?

Someaddedsugar · 11/09/2022 14:32

A few years ago I got her a second hand book, some chocolate, bath stuff and a homemade babysitting voucher and last year I got her some hot diamonds earrings from this thread. She doesn't often spend money on herself and instead spends it on her husband or her children. She did say she wanted a cross body bag a while ago but doubtful I'd get anything for a tenner unless the Fossil outlet goes a bit crazy!

If you sign up for emails the additional 15% off stacks so that takes it under £10 delivered from £35?
