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.

We have imperial candles here now.

My daughter had one as a birthday present and got a necklace in it recently and she had one from her nan before too.

Fossil just emailed me to say they have cancelled one of my items which is disappointing.

Amazing. Thank you. Il get my ass there tomorrow as I have a day off and the kids will be at school.

Thanks.
I just did this, they sent me a code that made it £6.
Once I had the confirmation order number I cancelled the subscription straight away.

Mine come yesterday too.

Im not sure why but I was expecting the crackers to be bigger.

Same!!!! They are cute but tiny!

Yes I was quite shocked at how teeny they were when they arrived. I think it's because the photo on Amazon makes them look quite substantial. They're cute but will probably supplement with a mini bottle of wine or some chocs for a small gift.

Reported own post, wrong thread sorry

Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe a mini candle or something.

They are for the bus women that take my son to his school (special needs school).

One doesn’t drink and she’s diabetic though and I always get a candle so hopefully she actually lights them 😂

or maybe a posh Xmas bubble bath.

Amazon has "Gnaw Hot Chocolate Shot Taste Adventure Gift Set (8 Pieces) 400g" - a pack of 8 different flavoured hot chocolate stirrer spoons for £15.99.

Mine arrived today with a best before date of 31/01/23. Individually packed and great for splitting for hot chocolate mugs, stocking fillers, Christmas Eve boxes etc or just gifting as a complete set - the box is nice too!

Thank you @Justhereforthechristmasthreads I will keep an eye on those sites. Am wondering if I am best waiting until BF. Argos usually have a decent amount off lego..

I found ROKR building model kits on here last year and they were a massive success for DH. They’re on offer on Amazon, you have to apply a voucher before adding to your basket. I’ve got this one for £8.74

Another example, this one would be £9.79

The marble runs are about £12

I have the same and I have never brought anything from the beauty range so I imagine most accounts have it

My thrift order came today - yodel didn't update which was poor and there was a rip in the bag. All the items were loose, but they seem OK. They do smell very stale, I hope a wash will help with them.

I had to put my stuff from thrift through the wash twice because it was covered in white hairs - maybe pet hair.

My local Lidl has a variety of Roald Dahl paperbacks for £2.49 each and some HP bits and pieces inc bed covers which were reduced

Thank you! Marble run ordered

Just ordered the ok beauty box thanks pp!

Speaking of marble runs, does anyone have any experience of gravitrax? It's on offer on Amazon at the moment and looks like the kind of thing my 5 year old would like but still fairly pricey!

If you’re passing a branch of Boots it might be worth going in to look for a Clearance section, even if you’ve been in recently. Today mine had many Christmas themed body polishers for £1 each. I saw a Father Christmas, a Penguin and a snowball one.

There was an NYX Advent calendar for £30 which is currently listed at £59.99 on Look Fantastic. (I looked it up using their free customer wifi.)

I only bought one thing, a collapsible pink travel mug in a sealed packet for 50p.

Up to 30% off some clothes and toys at Studio today, but only until 10pm - includes things like this shark light up scooter for £20.

Obviously there's no large cushions or beanbags, which was what I actually wanted, so if anyone spots any please do let me know!
