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

Please don't post affiliate links here, they need to go in the referral thread

Argh I can’t decide if I want a 5poundstuff hooded blanket or not

<goes back to stare at online basket>

Which one are you thinking of going for @BernardBlacksMolluscs?

Holidayqueen1 · 11/11/2022 11:34

Hi
my grey one was a primary one but had all cardboard stuff on it. The blue one was just stuffed into a binbag so def not suitable for gifting. Having said that, both of them going back as v thin and not worth the money in my opinion.
my navy one from summer didn’t have tags but did have the kuddly tag on the pocket.
am assuming the patterned ones are oodies but not sure re tags, will let you know when avocado one arrives!

The avocado one. They look sooo cozy, but I also think they’re pretty ugly as a garment. But I’d be ugly and warm

difficult choices!

Holland and Barrett have a spin the wheel discount valid today only. I got lucky and got the maximum discount which is 25% off! SINGLES25

Their advent calendar is £35 in their black Friday sale (unfortunately not included in the 25% discount)
H&B advent calendar

I stood firm against the ottercats (too weird) and the corgis (too pink) but have given in to the avocados! Hope it actually is an Oodie after all that because I already have a perfectly nice, warm grey one from Dunnes.

Smashed Grapes Tasting kits. They’re out of stock till the end of November now and I’m guessing the code no longer works but it was FRCW56842Z if you want to try it.

dramalamma · 11/11/2022 11:51

I haven't received any of my 5£ stuff "oodies" yet but im tempted to go back for the tie dye one that's on there now - does anyone know if that's an oodie/kuddly design? I can't find it

LostMyUserName · 11/11/2022 11:52

Definitely ugly (and smelly) @BernardBlacksMolluscs but I find it hard to resist a bargain. I ordered the otters one and I currently have my feet and legs in it. I think I’ll use it a lot during the cold weather and I’ll be thankful it cost me less than £15.

redjoker · 11/11/2022 11:55

@Comefromaway even though they say out of stock mine came today. Theres also a £20 off code on the referral thread which means ud only pay postage.

@Talisin should have a code for that too if they wanted to share it with you

DeeofDenmark · 11/11/2022 11:55

Tesco also has the 70cl Baileys for £8.

CheeseIsMyPatronus · 11/11/2022 11:55

@Comefromaway - I think the Malbec code was MALB124850, and as Talisin said above there was a wine and cheese one as well.

Incidentally, we once had a confusing thread when I had a username one letter different to yours and we were both commenting (so obviously I swapped it). It's still one of my favourite shows.

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 11/11/2022 12:07

for this asking about the hooded blankets from five pound stuff- my otter one came today. while the website says tags would be removed, it came in an oodie bag, with tags and branding clearly visible on the plastic bag it's wrapped in

Thanks Talisin, code still works! Just got FIL the Malbec kit and the charcuterie one for me and DH to do over Christmas for £23.98 in total!

lazzaroo · 11/11/2022 12:16

Can anyone help advise me on how to actually redeem a sparks offer on the M&S website?!? Sorry, I’m probably missing the obvious. I signed up to sparks to get 10% off my order. The offer is in my account but I cannot see how to get it in my basket!!

psuedocream3 · 11/11/2022 12:18

Anyone ordering from MAC with the 20% off and free gift offer - there is a;so a 15% code that stacks - TCB15 for an extra 15% off already discounted prices. Just ordered and 9.35% cashback with topcashback. They usually stop stacking codes on the first day so don't dither if you're considering it.

sparkle17 · 11/11/2022 12:19

Can't believe that code still works for smashed grapes

PeachTea1 · 11/11/2022 12:25

10/10 recommend 5poundstuff fleece blankets, I got myself a tie dye one (didn’t come with Oodie branding) and it is so thick!! Whenever I wear it I’m almost too warm - I’m always cold.

I don’t think the tie dye one is Kuddly or oodie, the pocket/pouch looks much smaller.

(I seem to have self appointed myself as some sort of oodie official on this thread and feel like I need to say I have never seen an oodie in real life! 😂)

lisa1721k · 11/11/2022 12:28

My five pound stuff hoodie has just arrived, it’s a navy blue Kuddly. I’ve compared to mine and the tags are in the same exact same places, although they’ve cut them off. Smells a bit funky but nothing a quick wash won’t sort. Happy with that

psuedocream3 · 11/11/2022 12:30

I bought the tie dye hoodie last time and it was Kuddly branded if that helps.
