Looks like we need another thread so here goes. I'll stick the usual top of thread messages in a follow on post.

For anyone with teens Victoria Secrets have a sale, I’ve got some underwear for my dd stocking. You can also opt to have your order delivered to a Next store, free.

IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile · 09/11/2022 19:53

@yellowsun yes please if still available

daisyboo1 · 09/11/2022 19:57

Oh thank you all for hot air styler suggestions! Brilliant.

nicky2512 · 09/11/2022 19:58

No problem @Justhereforthechristmasthreads I blame this thread. Normally I would have bought the one on Amazon but after being on here, I wasn’t giving up on getting a bargain!!

Beingacatbed · 09/11/2022 19:58

Would love it if possible please.

Think I might pass then, don't want them tripping over. Thanks for sharing. Wonder if that site will get any kids ones in or other designs.

I recently got my daughter one from primark as the one from 5poundstuff was way too big. She loves it, I got her the XS-S adults but they had lots of kids ones too. I think it was about £16 for adults but kids were about £10-12.

My daughter is 10 but is quite slim and quite short compared to her friends!

Or dunhelm have some kids ones but they aren't as thick they are like fleecy blanket material. (My eldest dd prefers them as they aren't heavy and still keep you warm and cosy!) We have adult ones.

Thanks @Withershins, I was yelling at the Neom site because it wouldn't work 😂

Just ordered myself one for Christmas, been lusting after one for ages!

I'd be really interested to hear if the oodies are the genuine ones. Both me & DD have them and they are a couple of years old and still in perfect condition despite continued wash and wear so although I've been really tempted I don't think we need more unfortunately. She has the avocado one.
Re the sizes, she was coming up to 10yo when she got hers and although it's big she hasn't tripped over it or struggled with it at all. I wouldn't say she's particularly tall or short.

Thank you for the recommendations, i will check both out :) he is quite a hot bod so the dunelm ones might be better. Ive got my eye on their long water bottles so a trip is due.

Can I ask, is the bargain max website genuine or is it scammy please?!

I've ordered twice in the last few weeks and it's been great!!

Not everything is cheaper than the other shops but things that are are a fair bit cheaper.

I'd give them 5/5

Schuh have an imperfects website, they update it quite regularly - I got some uggs much cheaper and they was perfect.

Sallylovesdaisy · 09/11/2022 20:21

Just had an email from Oodie. Their Black Friday sale has started, up to 35% off. I ordered one from £5 stuff, just hoping that's it an Oodie

Beachhutnut · 09/11/2022 20:23

Ditto @I'mHavingAnOldFriendForDinner it can be my Christmas present to me! The code also discounted the Christmas oil to £15 - good shout @Withershins

PeeJayDay · 09/11/2022 20:23

Oh no, I wanted the panda one. Only had the cat when I looked

spiderontheceiling · 09/11/2022 20:23

@minsmum with PS5s, it seems to be more of an issue of being able to find one at all rather than getting a good deal. We started our hunt a month ago. At first, we couldn't find one in stock anywhere. After a fortnight, we thought we'd got one but the other was cancelled after a couple of days. A week or so later, we found another which was due for delivery on Tues but is now scheduled for tomorrow.

Glitterandmud · 09/11/2022 20:24

Just ordered the other oodies thank you, worth a gamble at that price.

I am looking for skateboards, if anyone has any recommendations or bargains please let me know.

BigEaredBob · 09/11/2022 20:25

Hi. I’m going Christmas shopping in Birmingham tomorrow which I am excited about as I have never been before.

Any tips for places to go for bargains which I might not spot?

Scrambledbeans · 09/11/2022 14:27

Just to say, my oodies etc just arrived from five pound stuff- I brought two otter pattern and two plain navy. The plain navy look identical to the Kuddly and you can see where the tag has been cut, so I’m pretty sure it’s the genuine article, but not giftable.

The oodie is clearly packaged as such, including the slipcase and oodie branding and gift tags all over. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the update, I ordered the dark grey one and Otter one too- the kids won't be cold now!

Corgi dog oodies now up on 5poundstuff

Aww, just missed the Avocado Oodie.

They have a dog one now.

minsmum · 09/11/2022 20:36

@spiderontheceiling thanks for letting me know, I genuinely had no idea that they were that expensive or that they were that difficult to find. He's going to have to ask for something else

PinkPanther27 · 09/11/2022 20:55

So is everything on the 5poundstuff website branded seconds or is there some stuff on there that's just cheap tat? Can't wait to get my Oodies 😊

Octoberfishing · 09/11/2022 20:56

20% off The Entertainer (single use I suspect) which I won't use:

PeeJayDay · 09/11/2022 20:58

Lots of cheap tat. My hoodies last time were primark with the labels cut but I'd still risk a panda one Grin

UserNameNameNameUser · 09/11/2022 20:59

I keep refreshing the £5 place to see if they get more designs 😅
