@loglady833 I’ve got a 15% off code for White Company. I’ll add it on tomorrow if you’re still looking.

It’s risky waiting till end Nov for a bigger discount, as IME the big trees get sold out by early Nov!!

I bought the Symons 7ft a couple of years ago (it’s beautiful) and then a few of the small ones last year (also lovely).

DutchTeenyPixie · 14/10/2022 21:14

@PeskyYeti yes please, if still available!

I got my mum a Willoughby Book subscription and she loved it the first year. But she said she felt the quality of the books dropped off in the second so we didn't renew after that. She is a prolific reader of popular novels though so there were a few times they sent ones she had already read but you just let them know and they send a new one out immediately, no extra charge.

Thank you, she said she used her friend’s and liked them.

They do an amazing job on dd’s very thick and curly hair, she uses the Cloud Nine wide iron and also really recommend the Magic potion.

Does anyone know if Emma Bridgwater usually do another discount before Christmas? Current one is only on hallowe’en themed stuff.
My mum needs a new teapot. I do her shopping and it would break my heart to pay full price!

It would be grateful if you posted the code. Thank you.

CottonHeadedNinnyMug · 14/10/2022 21:58

@nicky2512 I have a single use 25% code for emma bridgewater you could try, or failing that a 20% - it only works on non-personalised stuff though?

nicky2512 · 14/10/2022 23:08

@CottonHeadedNinnyMug That would be amazing if you are sure you don’t mind.
I think it’s the spotty one she wants but I need to check with her tomorrow so if you are sure, would you pm it please in case someone else grabs it before I get to use it.
She has her heart set on an Emma Bridgwater one and the discount would be much appreciated. I might even get her a mug as well as a present.
Thank you.

My bridal beauty company box came today and I love it! Mine had the Elemis cleanser in it luckily, it’s definitely worth more than the £20 I’m tempted to get another!

3isthemajicnumber · 14/10/2022 23:15

My bridal beauty box arrived today as well. I'm so chuffed with it. Thank you the person who posted it.
Also big up for whoever powered the Claire's tip. Got 6 squishmallows for £60.
A good bargain hunting week

Gilead · 14/10/2022 23:54

I had two of the OK beauty boxes arrive today, I was really quite impressed. Everything will be used by (adult) dds.

That helps thank you, I’ll look out for that type of iron and the magic potion.

If anyone spots any bargain Japanese sweets or drinks please let me know. I've had a request but have no idea where to buy them!

UrbanMage · 15/10/2022 07:00

I'm off to do some RL shopping today. Going to sell my soul to Primark. I'll let you all know if there are any bargains

Blippo sometimes does them. As does that popping candy place that's all over tiktok. Not exactly bargainous, but it's hard to get Japanese sweets at a low price.

NoWordForFluffy · 15/10/2022 07:03

I was just going to recommend Blippo too. It's taken me ages as the page decided to refresh for no reason...slowly.

I bought DH a mixed pack of Japanese KitKats from eBay last year, he loved them. There were about 20 in the pack (they're only little, not like our KitKats). I contacted the seller first to say they were for Christmas so checked the dates would be ok, they were.

This year, I'm going to use a company called ifoodsuk, I'm making DH an advent calendar so will get him various types of cans of juice, crisps and sweets from around the world. You can search by country in the search box. I'm going to check with the seller about dates before I buy them this time too.

Yes, usually 20% for black friday but sometimes not on everything. I have a 15% off code if you'd like it DM me as single use.

I bought a box of Japanese sweets from Amazon last year. Dd2 loved it

Flora4 · 15/10/2022 08:10

@NCAutumn if you are near a kenji shop they stock quite a few Japanese drinks and snacks.

Willow4987 · 15/10/2022 08:23

If people are looking for book subscription boxes I recommend this company

teatimebookshop.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8JaQv9nh-gIV24BQBh1OKgAlEAAYASAAEgIDrfD_BwE

I’ve used them before and lots of good options for books. They use either brand new or second hand (good quality) so good for the environment and also you get some lovely treats and tea/coffee with it. Also have kids versions

I got the Elemis one too, and was hugely impressed.

I also ordered the festival one for £25 and it's awesome (all products I already love or have been wanting to try. Included everything shown in the website photo plus quite a bit more and also included a 20% off next purchase voucher) Could highly recommend. Don't mind posting a pic later today when I've got time if you'd like to see.

The camels are telling me that Amazon has some good discounts today on Minecraft Lego. The crafting box is down to £54.99 and the warped first is at an all time low is £15 (RRP £27.99)
