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.

@psuedocream3 Thank you!

Ordered! Thank you so much!

Does anyone have a John Lewis code please? About to push the button on an instant pot for DH

Have you tried top trumps? Not a board game but went down really well with virtually every child I've known and loads of themed sets plus it's tiny. Otherwise I'd recommend buying them from a board game shop if possible as they usually have loads that you'll never have heard of and you can often try before you buy. Bit more expensive for the same game obviously but they'll often recommend one that meets your needs better anyway.

Apparently there is 6 months free apple TV with any purchase from curry's online between now and the end of November. It will only work if you haven't had apple TV before (you need to use your apple I'd to sign in so limited options for creating new ones I think).

No minimum spend so even printer paer for £1.99 should be included. Just click and collect. No really a gift, but nice to have over the winter.

Thanks for the Elemis bargain.

Start Rite have a 23% discount today if anyone has little ones to buy shoes for. Sign up to the newsletter and they will email you a 15% off code which stacks. I used an email address which I'd used previously but had unsubscribed from and it still worked, they just sent me an email checking I wanted to re-subscribe then sent the discount code after I had confirmed.

I ended up with a 3rd off 2 pairs for my youngest who has wide feet and is difficult to buy for.

@Soscrewed if she likes embroidery or cross stitch there’s books and kits of Winnie the Pooh or princess designs (check Amazon). Or often aldi and hobbycraft have Disney fabrics/fat quarters if she likes making quilts, or sewing small home items.

For general sewing gifts, glass headed pins are nice, fun labels are a big thing if she’s into garment sewing - try looking up Kylie and the Machine, or take a look on Etsy. Dutch label shop do custom ones so you could make her her own set of labels.
sewmesunshine.co.uk Has a sewing gifts section.

I've bought a dry robe before with a discount, think it was through a triathlon site rather than directly. Most of them have regular codes via email, I seem to get them from mytriathlon about once a week. Unfortunately can't see where I bought them from before as it was a couple of years ago.

Can anyone give me any advice on the elemis deal please?
The price doesn't change at the check out !

Look like its finished! the page has changed in the last few min, no longer lists the free gift

@Reastie the one with the codes for the spidery?

Gutted missed out on the Elemis by minutes!

@gawditswindy Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: MinaLima Edition: J.K. Rowling amzn.eu/d/csQse7P

Meant to say it is this Instant pot with £40 off already , DH wanted an air fryer and I wanted a slow cooker so hopefully onto a winner!

Has anyone seen large bin liners that aren't black. Strange request but I have two bean bags to wrap.

Thanks

@SBAM labels!!! Perfect. She makes loads of clothes for my children so I think they would all love that. Brilliant. Thanks. I love this thread for ideas.

Youngest is ill today so sorry if I am spamming with random bargains. This book called absurd hypothetical questions: serious scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions is very well reviewed and I think would suit as a gift for former scientists like my DM. It's £3.99 today absurd science book looks good and not a junky gimmick.

The stacking chairs game that was mentioned on previous threads, is this too young for teenage boys? Or is it for all ages?

We found out the place the local artists used. Had a multi aperture photo printed, framed, and mounted beautifully for about £60. Not cheap but definitely better value than anything we've bought from a website.

@redjoker
thank you for the Elemis heads up. DD loves it and I was looking for something to go with her sleep Ts. I thin I just squeaked in before it closed !

@dancemom I bought the chairs game in a charity shop last week. DS and his friend had great fun playing it. They are both 17.

Thanks @Lurleene

Anyone seen it reduced anywhere?

Sylvanian Families - Marshmallow Mouse Family here £9.99.

Also a whole bluey family for £9 for 4 figured on amazon. If I move away to copy the link I'll lose this message as my phone is being a pest. Quite a few lego deals including advent calanders on amazon according to camel camel camel.

Not bin liners, but I have used paper disposable party tablecloths in the past to similar effect.

Like this paper one from John Lewis

No worries, it went very fast, didnt even get myself one lol!
