Thread 9 - the one with stocking fingers

@6poundshower thanks for the title. A stocking finger sounds far too small to fit many bargains in though! 🤣

Apologies for belatedly setting this up - was at a primary tour for potential school for ds and then working. Pesky RL! Hope you can all find me.

It’s not necessarily very Christmassy but Kidly have a flash sale of 50% off some of their rainwear (Here). I got my LO some cute wellies for £10.

Their toy sale is also worth a look.

Thanks for all the phone suggestions. Back Market had the Google 6, the others didn't. Decent price for their 'Excellent' condition. Thanks all.

@ikeawardrobe

If life last then I highly recommend the one they made for Wiils and Kate's wedding, has an excellent flavour. I think it's called Wedding Breakfast, unsure if they still do it as I haven't ordered for a while, but certainly worth getting if they do.

Thanks @noscoobydoodle those on mandmdirect look great but he also wants 100% cotton and these are 60%. So hard to buy for!

Chocolatepumpkin · 05/11/2022 14:53

Not sure if already mentioned but the aldi milk warmer was £9.99 instore yesterday, i know a few people complain about the temperature but my 9 year old said it was the perfect temperature for her to drink.

Weird ask but does anyone have any national trust codes. I want to get my parents membership and don't mind paying full price, but a voucher code wouldn't go amiss!

psuedocream3 · 05/11/2022 15:18

Has anyone used Woolovers before, I haven't heard of them but my husband has just requested a jumper, and the nicest one I can find is there. Is the quality good, any codes?

TheGriffle · 05/11/2022 15:19

@Vebrithien you need something like These USB peg lights, they plug into a normal usb charger plug that you would need to buy separate if the recipient doesn’t already have loads like we do.

TheGriffle · 05/11/2022 15:20

Sorry, just realised they’re for you!

Wolfcub · 05/11/2022 15:21

Lots of good fragrance deals on Amazon today including ckin2u for men for £16

@LunaCrystal I don't know the difference but the Chef's Specials is the brand new one only just released. It comes presented in a fancier way (tin compared to the legends which is in a box) but haven't used it yet as they are gifts. I bought the Chef's Specials as gifts based on the fact we love the curry legend so much, used at least once weekly. We also have the taco and mezze sets too. What we like about them all is we easily make meals that would take tonnes of ingredients otherwise. You can also easily adapt them to be a bit healthier by using less oil than they state etc and we try and eat veggie in the week and they are all easily adaptable like that too. Promise I don't work for them!

Hi are they like the simply cook packets?

I have used them they are a decent company and the clothes are good quality. IIRC someone posted a 20% code for them today or yesterday. I noticed it as the catalog just came and I was eying up a very expensive blanket! I don't have time to search for it now but it wasn't too long ago of that helps!

I’ve used them a couple of times, after recommendation on these threads. There was amazing offer a few years ago but I can’t recall the details now 🤦‍♀️
Quality seems decent enough

LostMyRubySlippers · 05/11/2022 15:35

Try XPS20 for 20% off Woolovers

Joules have 40% off pyjamas and slippers with code ‘COSY40’
Some lovely designs this year and make nice presents.

Thank you! I've just ordered a dressing gown for DS, pyjamas for my niece and some really beautiful pyjamas for my mum. My budget doesn't usually stretch to Joules but what a saving! The code took £50 off at the checkout.

You are a wonder and a marvel!

I never though about USB powered ones, that's a brilliant idea.

Now, in an ideal world, I'd like multicoloured, so off to have a nosey.

Was someone looking for Versace perfumes earlier Versace Dylan maybe? currently on offer at Superdrug

trying the clicky link thing, but failing I think…

Chocolateteabag · 05/11/2022 16:51

Sorry - Tu 20% off code went v quickly - maybe some more out there if you put a thread up?

psuedocream3 · 05/11/2022 17:34

Thanks everyone for advice on woolovers, looking at reviews, they are made in China not the uk as implied and the quality does not live up to the price. I'm basically looking for this jumper, in an adult size without the buttons if anyone has any ideas?

@UrbanMage - I asked this last year, they really dont do discount codes as I found out! however for my daughter and her partner's membership if you pay by Direct Debit you get a voucher to spend in the shops or cafes too. this was the best 'deal' I could find. You can cancel your DD as you approach the end of the year. tho my daughter likes it so much she's asked for it again!

Sallylovesdaisy · 05/11/2022 17:42

@psuedocream3 there's lots of choice on Etsy, even knitting patterns if you fancy having a go yourself
