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.

I should say I got 50% off kits on the spinner so here's my code if anyone wants to use it. LCPU01550

Tempted by the kidly rainbow for my four year old to use as bridges for his cars and trains!

With Hotel Chocolat do we think the offer is better with QVC or with the discount codes from HC?

Has anyone seen any good advent calendars for a 12yo girl? Nail varnish or something like that? Perhaps arts/crafts? Other DC are easy and Lego is fine. Many thanks.

@CatOfTheLand Thank you for the Gruffalo Calendar tip. We already have the Princess one for dd, but for that price she can have 2 😂

I feel like buying another anyway and donating it to someone because it's such a bargain!

@CatOfTheLand Yes I’m tempted to do that also, I just don’t know who 😂

I got a really lovely bomb cosmetics bath stuff one for myself from Amazon when they were cheap.

Works for me because I wanted soap and bath stuff for Christmas anyway

@CatOfTheLand - thanks! Will have a look!

Morning all! No bargains, but just after some advice...DD is after a Smart Watch, shes 8 but with really tiny wrists. I've been looking at the Garmin vivofit Jr 2 as it looks a lot less clunky than the vtech one for example. Does anyone own this and have a review? Or any other recommendations, feel a bit lost!

@Chocolateteabag is your TU code still available??? Would be very handy & used quickly too 😁

@Yeknom Very interested in this, my DS is 5 and hes very worried the Vtech will be 'too sticky outty' hes very invested in it having games, have you seen the vívofit® jr. 3 – Garmin is on offer?

@redjoker - yes! I think 'games' are the selling point here too! I did see the garmin vivofit jr 3 but it looked physically bigger than the 2. I wonder if somewhere like Curry's stock them so I can go and compare?

Thank you OP just ordered smashed grapes. Just going to try to change delivery now but I think they are out until late Nov now anyway (across all kits)

@LindseyHoyleSpeaks i got this one for my DD. W7 Beauty Blast Advent Calendar... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09RKF8DQK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share LINK

A few thanks here, received my Urban Outfitters order yesterday with 30% off, very happy with it. Just ordered a couple of the wine kits form smashed grapes, went through paypal as never heard of them but if they do arrive then it's a few nice little extras. And my HoF Heely's have been dispatched too.

Also the Kinder free photobook I can confirm are completely free, but a little faffing to do them, there is no Kinder logo, it's just a standard photobox one as normal. No delivery charge.

Thank you for this! Also if you add more than one to your basket they are even cheaper. I got two for £16 with free delivery 😁

@ColeslawSandwich - thanks!

Oh thanks for the smashed grapes, site was a bit slow but got delivery for 22 December and a great gift for DH!

I just used this, the whole kit for 3.99 delivery, a fantastic gift, amazing!

Although I think we are killing their website lol

Am I a little insane to buy an air up bottle? DD has asked for 1 but it's very expensive for a water bottle. Has anyone any experience of them? I've got a 15% discount code that needs to be used by today.

@Notherereally1 dd tried her friends one and liked it but she is not going to get one. I bought her regular water bottle with theme she likes.

I got my kids one, they were all new fangled with the pods for a few weeks but now they're just used as a normal water bottle. A bit if a fad to be honest and they're larger than the regular bottles for fitting in school bags etc. Probably a nice gift if she specifically wants one but nothing that overly special after the novelty wears off.
