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

Please can I have some help for an eyeshadow palette.
It's for my 40year old friend thinking neutral colours as premium/good a
quality brand as i can for my max £20 budget.(less would be great)
Which might be possible with discount.🤞
I dont really wear makeup myself so no idea what will be good.

"Not only that, but for those of us who have been on the threads from the beginning we have already had all of this debate when we bought the first haul from them back in July!"

I've been on these threads since the start, still happy to chat about the oodies. I'm afraid you can't speak for others and this thread is nice because of the chat. If I want zero chat and only deals I'll go to hukd or similar.

You're free to scroll on but the chat is the very reason deals should be shared in bold on here.

Not sure if it’s premium as such but I always rate the No7 stuff and they’ve got 40% off on their website at the moment.

Thanks @redjoker that Christmas game will be brought by our elves one night!

Does anyone know if many shops have black friday deals in store on the actual day or if its mainly an online thing in the UK?

Ordered this at lightening speed so as not to miss out for my HP crazy daughter, thank you!

Scout2016 · 12/11/2022 13:19

@lemonsmum look fantastic have Urban Decay sets reduced to just over £20 and code EXTRA5 takes it under £20.
There's probably other codes around too. I like Urban Decay, so do my friends who wear make up more often than me.

Scout2016 · 12/11/2022 13:25

Sorry @lemonsmum looks like it's just the one at that price actually, naked 2.

My fair lady booked for me & mum for Manchester. Thank you so much I would never have seen that as I'm terrible at checking my rewards on cards.

Yalz · 12/11/2022 13:36

“Thanks for the John Lewis sale recommendation.
If you download the app and click rewards you get £10 off too!!”

I thought I’d missed something good there, @onmywayamarillo , but the £10 off isn’t in my account on the app. Perhaps I need to uninstall it and install it again?

chillimice · 12/11/2022 13:38

Can anyone advise on plug in room diffusers? Is it worth waiting for a deal on a fancy one of does a £20 one do the job?

sunshinerobots · 12/11/2022 13:41

2 £5 stuff hoodies arrived.
Avocado - looks legit but was just in black bag packaging and no tags
Friends (central park) one - definitely legit - in the Oodie bag and all packaging, looks fab so very pleased with that for a gift :)

Rex London have an amazing sale on with really good quality presents and stocking fillers

What's the deal please, I don't seem to have it on my app 😩

Thought it was quite cute so brought one for dd2

Ehunt1 · 12/11/2022 13:54

@Notlongnow1 thank you so much for the Bobbins bike code. My daughter had asked for a very specific bike, a classic mint green with a basket and they were the only ones who had such a thing in the size I needed. I’m very tempted to get one for myself😁

@lightisnotwhite sorry I’m probably being dim but I was interested in the Barcelona deals you mentioned (thank you for posting about it) and I can’t figure out what mn hotels are? Any chance you have some more info please?

spiderontheceiling · 12/11/2022 14:08

Quality Street - I know that last year you could do fill your own tins on John Lewis but, this year, they have crackers which are only £5 and, if you have a JL membership card, you can just have one flavour. My mum will be thrilled!

My "oodies" arrived this morning. I am kicking myself for being a complete sheep! I've been thinking of buying one but kept not doing so as I just didn't see the benefits compared to a dressing gown or a thick hoodie. And I still can't. Like others, my OtterCat one came with all of the Oodie tags/packaging and the grey (thinner) one with Huggly packaging. I always donate a couple of items to a local charity Christmas gift collection thing and these are what I will donate this year, labelling the OtterCat as teen girl and the grey one as teen boy.

Glitterandmud · 12/11/2022 14:15

My 2 5pound site otter oodies arrived today, all the oodie packaging, looks like it was a proper bargain, thanks to the op for pointing them out!

Myleakycauldron · 12/11/2022 14:18

Thanks to a PP who mentioned the discount on perfumes at JL and a reminder that JL will price match their own discounts and it's very easy to use!

I'd bought perfume a few weeks ago as had ran out and have just completed a form to get difference refunded to the new sale price (JL are great compared to M&S expecting the customer to reorder and send back!!)

Also I like the chat in general and the stuff that doesn't interest I scroll on by. Although the chat often causes me to jump on unnecessary bandwagons!

I understand that. But ds’s ex bought him a fake one two years ago and I bought Dd the Sienna last year and they have been worn to death so I figured it wouldn’t be a waste regardless.
