@LunaCrystal those wax lyrical candles went down to about £5/6 last year.

Can anyone recommend any packs of ground coffee please, I would like a nice selection. We’ve had the Paddy and Scott’s pack and they are the same as last year so we wanted something different.
If anyone is interested Paddy and Scott’s hamper is on offer for £27.99 instead of £32.59. It’s a lovely set with four packs of coffee and some coffee bags and comes in a lovely sturdy black box with lid. You can also sign up for 15% off your first order and you get some free coffee. It’s a shame they haven’t introduced new flavours because it really is nice coffee.

@AndAway All the tweens I know are obsessed with Rover Island

A little shopping trolley would be a lovely gift.

Boden have 25% off everything at the moment with the code E4P6 (sorry if you're already aware and a £10 off code saves you more than the above)

Molton Brown have 20 % off site wide or 25% if you spend over £80 (which is scarily easy to do).

Vegan popcorn advent calendar for £5 here - this was from an advert on Instagram that claims it should be £25 RRP.

I've just had an email from Vans cancelling my order and refunding me

I got some lovely wooden crates in TKMaxx (they had painted white, natural wood or a stained wood) that come with the cellophane, ribbon and shredded paper bits - £6.99 I think and they could be either reused or kept for other things.

H&M has 15% off for members on their website now

If you go into your local
wine dealer they might give you some wine boxes for free . They'd be lovely for food or booze hampers ?

Jumped on the bandwagon and got some vans. A pair for me and a pair for my toddler that I never would have been able to justify the price for before. Thanks whoever shared the code 😊

Thanks so much! I’m allergic to dairy and so is dd so this sounds lovely.

I also signed up and got an extra 10% off. Code was loveveo10, I don’t know if it’s account specific

When did you order?

Evening all,

@LuckyLuckyWoman my three year old loves loose parts from Grapat. He likes putting them in boxes or baskets. He also loves these biscuits that my eldest received as a gift years ago. I noticed them on sale for Rex of London the other day for £4.95 but I’m not sure about postage costs.

Biscuits

If anyone has a Dino enthusiast I have just bought the Schleich Dino Erupting Volcano. I have been watching it on CamelCamelCamel and it’s close to the best price. The best price was £78.54 in April I have just paid £79.99 which I think is good enough. I have looked at the Dino Research Station which their new big toy last year and it didn’t really drop in Black Friday so I am guessing this may not. It’s a similar price at Smyths at the moment. It’s price has been up and down between this and £99.

Just tried to link but can’t get it to work. 😳😥

Thanks. Ordered one 😀

@HollyPupp I managed to finally get my order through about 6am today. Received the email about 2 hours ago.

Aww that’s rubbish.

Wonder if they will cancel them all.

And they are now all sold out.

You have to be quick when it’s posted on here 😂 There was 4 in stock when I did it a few mins ago.

I reckon it's because they're out of stock.

I had an email cancelling one of my pairs, but not the other. (I ordered at about 10.30 last night).

A couple (got carried away!) of our vans orders have despatched and we’ve had yodel emails. One had both codes and the other just one. Maybe we went for unpopular styles!

I've just had a partial refund from Vans. I only ordered a Tshirt and a beanie and they seem to have refunded the beanie plus half the postage (glad they refunded half the p&p as £5 would be quite steep for 1 tshirt!!)

(I ordered yesterday morning)

Hopefully my order gets sent then.

I got some classic styles not in the sales so I doubt they would go out of stock.

Someone was asking earlier about grinch things and I’ve just seen this on Instagram if it’s helpful

Re the hampers Dunelm have some but this year I’m doing my dds a choc/sweet hamperless hamper - basically I’ve bought 2 x cellophane ‘hamper’ giant gift bags with ribbon from eBay. £2.99 for 2 and I’m going to put some shredded tissue paper in the bottom and voila - saves money but still has the impact with the big bow - although granted is using cellophane 🫤
