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.

On the recommendation of this group I bought 2 of the hooded blankets when 5 pounds stuff had them in earlier. One says Oodie and the other Kuddly.

I have no idea if they are fake or not, but they are both well made and very warm. The ones I saw recently in Next were much thinner, although costing more than three times the price,

Oh yes, based on @Yalz post I should probably say that I’m not suggesting they are genuine Oodies / Kuddlies or otherwise. Mine are brilliant quality too - I thought they were more likely to be seconds / excess stock but no idea really!

Thanks for the codes for the metal bird and oodie tee 🙂

The most recent hoodie blanket review makes it clear that you don’t know what brand you’ll be getting - that person got one with a Primark label.

@paintyhands , I didn’t think you were saying they were on-brand, I hope you didn’t think that. Based on previous people’s experience they are a good buy, though, and I have ordered another.

They also have dressing up outfits and toys, with a selection of Funko Pop toys for £5 each.

Lidl have some great ones in at £4.99. My daughters using them for her GCSE’s and they’re great quality.

@Reastie nearly new thread time.

@Yalz no, I didn’t think you were saying that at all! It’ll be interesting to see what we get - I also ordered another for a gift so I’m hoping it’ll be a good one!

@deeplybaffled they have acrylic paint sets in the works which are a good price, Crawford and something the brand was.

@deeplybaffled Meant to say, we've had them and they're good.

Cute Sushi stuff

Just bought the 5 pound stuff hoodie blanket.
Thanks for posting.
Will it be OK for a 15 year old? 5 foot 3 and thin?

@deeplybaffled As a significantly older beginner I also started with Crawford and Black acrylics from the Works. It's not as pigmented as some more expensive stuff but I've been happy messing about with it.
You might want to consider gouache paint instead which gives a more solid/matt finish as there are some very appealing 'jelly gouache' sets around like this. Lots of YouTube videos demonstrating it if you're unsure.

@deeplybaffled hobby craft had a lot of beginner art sets on 3 for 2 last time I was there. I also find the Range Good for basic art supplies.

Can anyone recommend a heat pad please? Its actually for me. I'm after one that I can velcro or tie around the front so I can have it on my back.

@Snowflakes2 my tall, slim 10 year old has one from there and she loves it. It’s oversized but very cosy! It’s a Kuddly.

@hoopdeloop do you have a link to that diffuser? I like the sound of it but can’t find it on Amazon. Thanks

Lidl have them in stock, they are about £19 . I can recommend them have bought a couple last year for presents so bought the back one for me this year.

Just ordered a hoodie from 5 pound stuff thank you, i signed up to the newsletter and got an extra 5% off sent via email.

Game had some bargain toys instore yesterday. Elsa doll for £2.99 and lots of trolls toys really low priced.

i’m looking for an entertainer code if anyone has one?

Perfect thank you! I'll have a nosey in there......and no doubt come away with all sorts! 😁

I got this for £2 yesterday so you may want to grab it before it goes up again
