Thread 7 - the one with the hook a fuck game

[Reastie]

Ho ho ho and welcome to the bargain Christmas thread - home of the discounts for Christmas shopping.

A bit of competition for the thread title this time - thanks for all the contenders and nominees and @Someaddedsugar for the title. This says a lot about your phones autocorrect I think 🤣

That was for @paintyhands

Glad to be able to help - hopefully your orders will come without any problems

I'd have been livid if I'd paid £70 for what I received tbh.

It was all ok but nothing really special. My youngest will appreciate the eyebrow gel and eyeliner but they are not decent sized products imo. In fact the eyebrow gel is almost to small to use easily.

Maybe I just got 2 dud boxes?

I've used shampoo and like it. The body cream smells really horrid.

Boxes are lovely, yes.

@Dreamingofwalden amd @Roughasabadgersbum thank you for the advice, I will make sure I check on Black Friday for any deals and get OH to look as well, as he does shift work and may see before I do.

Any ideas along the lines of Sky dancer for a school friend 5th birthday party? 😕Budget £10

Can I please ask about footballs best 4u, just looking for my son and the prices are amazing but can’t seem to find any reviews. Thank you 😊

Not last year but the year before we got one for our son and they were reduced at Smyths. Pretty sure that was black Fri. Still going strong after 2 years of abuse with a couple of very small people- love ours here

Thanks so much. I've been waiting for mascara sets to be on offer. I bought 2, so got £10 of points, added an Orchard Game (cheaper than anywhere) and got the 10% off £50, so the sets worked out at £20.70 each- perfect for my £20 budget.

So chuffed. I'll buy stocking fillers for my 2 teen DS with my points.

This!

How do they work? If they're 'fakes' how do they get away with selling them? Don't want to order then they're rotten quality/ obvious fakes , but I object to paying full price for teen DS (adult size)- club tops are £65-85 😱

It won't work for me! Probably for the best as I really shouldn't buy any more Olaplex

Space NK wouldn't work for me either

Has anyone seen any gift sets of various mens fragrances suitable for an 18 year old? I've no idea what's popular with youngsters these days

DS asked for one particular one but when I asked him what it was like he had no idea and had never even smelled it!! (Nautica).

Anyway I though a selection of different ones might be an idea as he can experiment and see what he likes.

Looks like it’s sold out now. It’s disappeared from their website.

I'm sure I've seen miniature sets in Boots of Hugo boss, I think four bottles in a set.

@RainbowZebraWarrior thank you!

@NormalForNuneaton this set looks nice

@Arewesureitisntbedtime amazing thank you so much m! I’ve just bought a load of amazing presents for the huge spurs fans in my life! Fingers crossed all my orders come!

Oh my goodness sorry, just realised the bottles are only 5ml 😮

Look Fantastic has got £10 treats on tonight. Some really lovely items on there!

For the posters asking about Footballsbest4u. I ordered from them last year - a football kit for my DS - it was excellent quality and my son was absolutely delighted!

Just bought this for DN for Christmas, thought it was a good price!

You wouldn't pay £70 for them. That's just what the products are worth based on full size rrp. Glossybox are £15 a month so 2 for £10 is a good discount. I've a few people I normally spend about a fiver on - drama teacher, dog minder etc and these are ideal little gift boxes for that price point.

@LemonFrosting the Versace one was the only one I could find. Not sure if it's the sort an 18 yo would wear ( also 5ml would be 1 application judging by the amount some youngsters wear IME 😆)

There are a few on eBay- although prob not quite the right size (1.5-2 yrs or 3-4)
they are also ‘girls’ ones although this may not matter?
a few of the ones on there seem to be from TU so might be worth keeping an eye there in case they have something similar this year? (I recall DD having a light up Xmas tshirt from there too a few yrs ago)
I would keep stalking vinted & eBay for a while yet…
Quite fancy one for myself now!!! :)

Thank you SO much for the Tottenham shop code @Arewesureitisntbedtime !

Will be over the moon if the order isn't cancelled as I paid £4 for an insulated bottle and some socks. Might even make another order....
