@DinkyGT Monster High dolls were on sale at The Entertainer when I was in store today. The salesgirl said they’re one of the most popular toys for Christmas

30% off Isle of Skye candles just now. They are gorgeous and the dds ask for them for every birthday and Christmas. Even my dear old mum gets me to order them for family members as gifts from her.

thaegumathteth · 02/11/2022 19:43

@dementedma do they actually smell when you burn them?

Thanks to these threads I have done most of my shopping but I am SO stuck for DH. He is a real shopper so anything he needs he buys before I get a look in. Often I get a fancy meal or night away somewhere but we have asked family to have the kids a fair bit lately so don't want to do that. He is quite a foodie so was thinking of an at home meal kit or some kind of foodie gift but I am stuck! Any ideas please?

@Crapbags

Does anyone have a New Look 25% discount code please?

You can sign up to the newsletter to receive the discount if you’re a new subscriber but I’ve used all 4 of my email accounts!! Thank you.

gobblegobblenibblenibble · 02/11/2022 19:53

Vans order arrived yesterday and I'm so happy with my order - everything is perfect so thanks to the original poster!

Does anyone know if Halfords ever do discounts? I see they have £5 off on the website but anything more bargainous than that? Looking to buy DS his first pedal bike.

TheBigFish · 02/11/2022 19:57

Thanks @Sisisimone I had looked at these. Does anyone know of any of these at home type boxes ever do discounts?

Great deal on this rabbit game on Amazon. Down to £7.99 and it's £15 in most places

Ravensburger Funny Bunny Game for Children Age 4 Years and Up - Board Games for Families with Kids

This is one of our all time favourite family games! I have bought it for several friends and everyone has loved it. Highly recommend (especially at £8!!)

IggyAce · 02/11/2022 20:09

Tye dye kit down to £14.44.

@impossiblerequest I’m popping to The Entertainer again tomorrow, so I’ll have a look for you too.

I loved Judy Blume and Sweet Valley High and Point Horror when I was 12-15 😊

Bakugans are super popular in our house. The battle arena and more Bakugan are top of my youngest’s list!! Bought a multi pack and the green arena from The Entertainer, really good price then stacked with the birthday discount.

Thank you very much 💐

Puffalicious · 02/11/2022 20:14

Does anyone have a JDWilliams code that works on all items.

I have 20% off clothes and shoes with HOLLY but need one I can apply to homewear.

Microwaveexpert · 02/11/2022 20:18

@MummyGummy
Code has gone I'm afraid. Sorry I should have said

thaegumathteth · 02/11/2022 08:15

Does anyone know if Pandora ever do money off codes? ive a feeling they do but can't remember. I need to get Dd a charm bracelet but just the bracelet as she has charms etc so won't work getting the bundle offers they do.

10% off at Pandora with code GH5F-XB6X-ETC

thaegumathteth · 02/11/2022 20:27

Thank you @LockdownBride

slipperypenguin · 02/11/2022 20:27

Very have some great discounts on toys in their Black Friday sale st the moment. A lot of the items we have needed have been cheapest there this year and even cheaper than the lowest prices on Amazon over the year.

In case it helps for anyone else struggling to buy for sons - we ordered this over the door basketball hoop. DS7 will love it and it's got great reviews and cheaper than anywhere else

Aah amazing! Thank you so much 😊

my DD’s girlfriend recently qualified from an apprentice Technician (ambulance service) to a qualified technician.

she is staying at ours on Christmas Eve and leaving for an early shift on Xmas morning so I want to do a mini stocking for her to take in the ambulance to share with her crew mate.

I’ll add snacks she likes but I’d like to add some funny bits to make them laugh so I thought I’d ask you clever hunters.

Ehunt1 · 02/11/2022 20:44

@Headabovetheparakeet thanks for the funny bunny game bargain. I managed to get it and the duplo bath toys for £10.99 by using the duplo voucher and the £7 off a £20 collection spend voucher.

thaegumathteth · 02/11/2022 20:47

@AhmenGwendolyn this?

Sorry I should have spell checked. Let me try that again!

Does anyone please remember the site that sells the Yankee Candle advent calendar at a good price please?

Pretty sure it’s ‘Yankee Bundles’ but they now go under the name of ‘Discount Dragon’. It’s all good, I’ve bought lots of bits from there without any issues.

RobinRobinMouse · 02/11/2022 20:48

@impossiblerequest Are you sure you are thinking of the right shop when you talk about Very and buying on credit? I've been using them for about 10 years and have never bought anything on credit. You definitely don't have to so don't be put off by that if they have something you need at the best price.

UserNameNameNameUser · 02/11/2022 20:53

Any ideas for something like these from Celtic & Co but more bargainous? Needs to be sheepskin inside and not just fluffy synthetic lining. Mens sizes (11/12)

I can’t bring myself to spend anything like £160 on a pair of slippers!
