If anyone is looking for wall calendars I've just bought 3 A3 wall calendars for £8.97 on groupon with the code WEEKEND for extra 30% off (mum and nan ask for one every year). Its with Printerpix which I've used the last couple of years, really easy to do & quality great for the price.

To the person looking for Japanese sweets…HMV sell them, or my local one does, they also have cans of drinks too and some of the weird kitkat flavours. I a, going to get my DD’s a few bits closer to Christmas. We also have a shop, my DD’s call ‘the geek shop’ that’s sells a few Japanese food items.

Does anyone have experience of either karaoke machines or dance mats for 5-ish? DD is very into dancing and singing and I'm not sure what to get her. I've looked at both but really don't want to spend money on something crappy that she'll not use.

@Haudyourwheesht my dd has always enjoyed dancing, we have lots of the just dance games for the wii. We have disney junior, dance juniors and just dance. You can pick up a second hand wii for £25 in cex and the games are a few pounds each. I'm fairly sure there's also a singing game with microphones too, never played it as not for us! Usually people give away wii consoles and games or sell cheap on facebook too.

Or depending on budget you could get a nintendo switch with just dance. We have just bought just dance for the switch as my husband already had the console.

Does any one know of any uniqlo codes please?

mac1974 · 15/10/2022 16:34

Groupon have some good deals atm. I just logged in and there was a code for 50% off certain experiences. I've just booked a champagne afternoon tea & spa access & treatment for £130 for 2 people at a lovely hotel near me. I'm pretty pleased with that. There's also a 20% off code which can be used on lots of things. Think I might rebook the afternoon tea my mum & I missed out on due to Covid.

Mumto3thatsme · 15/10/2022 16:48

Well, I received my two Pokemon books from WHSmiths 🤣🙄🤯. The rest of the order has been cancelled but they have yet to refund me. Terrible customer service as it makes so little sense - all this over a 20% discount!

use47 · 15/10/2022 19:03

WHSmith are appalling in every way. They did the same thing last year.

dramalamma · 15/10/2022 19:22

Well I don't know what you're all talking about with WH Smith being terrible..... I just received a parcel from them..... from an order I made about a year ago when we all had massive discounts - it was intended for last Xmas!! Luckily DD6 will still like it so she'll get it this year but seriously!?! A year!?! 😂😂😂 Nearly as bad as appliance direct who finally delivered my oven (also ordered for last Xmas!!) this week after delivering it damaged 5 times! Good things come to those who wait eh!

IconicKitty · 15/10/2022 19:48

That's bizarre @dramalamma , did they charge you for it last year?!

ChristmasCwtch · 15/10/2022 19:50

@loglady833 Here’s the discount card I received today. It’s 10% off this time. Just found the Autumn 15% card and it expired on 11th Oct.

Hopefully the 10% is still useful. The WC Christmas trees are fabulous 🤩

P.s. the code can be used as many times as wanted, so anyone else welcome to use it too

Another WHSmiths order cancelled here! But as previous posters have said, their loss as sounds like most of us won’t bother to reorder with the 10% offer. The website is hard work to navigate and most things can be found cheaper elsewhere without a decent discount. Seems strange compared to last year and the offers which stacked.

Joining the whsmith grumps. I did reorder because the advent calendar I want is £7 more on amazon and the bonus is I now get 10% off. I dont look forward to merrily returning the other £30 of order when it arrives as I'd only added it to the order as they had 20% off before so I reordered the whole thing havig soent over an hour trying to get past the free delivery threshold the first time I ordered.

I presume they must have.... To be honest I hadn't noticed it missing But checking my orders it was November last year and not even an email to say it was delayed - I know I should have kept better track but seriously! .... a year is really pushing it!! Quite glad I didn't order any this year!

I was once accused of shop lifting at WHSmith when I complained about them stocking 'lads mags' next to the children's comics. I was held in a small room with my 2 DC aged 2 and 3 for 2 hours. The police told the manager off and let me go and apologised. Please don't shop at WH Smiths

Crazydogmumma · 15/10/2022 22:19

QVC - has a special deal today- a 6 piece Liz Earle set for £51. Comes with 2 gift boxes and a bag so you can split to gift.

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!

My local HMV has a big rack of Japanese sweets drinks snacks etc.

BadgerLovesMash · 15/10/2022 23:52

Bargain at zavvi on Christmas tshirts, 2 for £10. Ive ordered jurassic park, rick & morty, star trek and Harry potter ones for us. Loads to choose from, perfect for Christmas dress up days, and more practical than itchy jumpers!

They had quite a few that weren't obviously Christmas more wintery and also nightmare before christmas ones that just had a print so could be worn all year round by fans!!

There was ladies, mens and kids ones all included 😊

TheGriffle · 16/10/2022 00:53

Thanks @BadgerLovesMash just ordered 3 T-shirts for me, 3 for Dh and 1 each for DD’s so 8 T-shirts for £41.99. Bargain!
