Thread 9 - the one with stocking fingers

[Reastie]

@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.

Hello, I am buying nephews and nieces some pyjamas with their favourite animal on and want books to go with them.

I already have rabbit and mouse.

But want to find lion and swan for 4 year olds.
And giraffe for 7 year old please.

Thank you if anyone can recommend.

Has anyone seen a basic pod/ capsule machine on sale for a bargain? Used to be able to get dolce gusto pretty cheap but not seen any lately in my usual real life shops so hoping someone has a bargain !

@Peekaboosanta how about this lion book? lion book

@Peekaboosanta We love Giraffes can’t dance - although my twins are 5

Or there is a roald dahl book called Giraffe Pelly and Me?

@Peekaboosanta giraffe book

How about The ugly duckling for the Swan book?

@Peekaboosanta this swan book gets good reviews

This is the best lion book! The others by Rachel Bright are great too but don't feature the other animals unfortunately.

@Polkadotpjs we just bought a Dolce Gousto Krups with 3 boxes of pods for £49.99 in Curry’s. They have lots on sale at the moment, some were even cheaper. Not sure how they compare to elsewhere but we had a gift card to use.

@MalingeringMary is second the works for coco melon stuff in store, they usually have loads of variety and really affordable!

Also if they're into toy story it's a nice age for a mr potato head? Young enough that they'll get lots of play still!

@mummyof2boys30 I got Joules slipper boots for Christmas last year and the quality was awful, they developed a big hole in the bit where the sole joins the slipper after a couple of weeks of light wear. My previous ones from M&S lasted about four years! I might’ve been unlucky and didn’t want to have to tell the giver so didn’t complain/ return them but I would not recommend. These are the ones I had: www.johnlewis.com/joules-cabin-luxe-slipper-boots-pink/p5731315

@Peekaboosanta How to hide a Lion is a very sweet book. I second The Giraffe, the Pelly and me as a great book for a 7 year old.

Thank you

@redjoker Thanks

M&S have cute giraffe pjs

This would be lovely for the Swan. We started our collection with The Nutcracker, and Amazon have this one for £8.50 at moment, so this will be this year's addition.

For those looking at space masks I have a reusable equivalent that is fantastic. You just pop it in the microwave (and yes, it sends me to sleep within minutes).

I had an email about the Spacemasks (which I no longer have) but I just checked and it's on the main site
Spacemasks.com until 19/12

Cult Beauty often have them with 15% off

Oh gosh, thank you so much
fingers crossed for some sleep

Another cheeky ask if anyone knows of any Phillip Jones discounts?

Not tested it myself but try NEXT50 for 50% off…?

Just been looking myself though & can’t see anywhere to put the code in??!!??

Thanks @LostMyRubySlippers I couldn't even find a code box on the PJ website so went via Etsy and used THANKYOU for 10% off. Tbf I find them reasonably priced anyways so I don't mind them not having big discounts!

Cross posted there!

Thanks to everyone who gave me tips on finding satin PJs, I am going to get stuck into that list tomorrow.

I got myself some Seasalt slipper boots (35% off with Blue Light Card) and they have lasted well so far, although not had them very long.
