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

@Changingagain I've got a few things in my basket at Smyths waiting to see if they do anything specific for Black Friday. One thing already has a little discount on it the others don't.
They already have some Black Friday offers on so Im not expecting anything but thought it was worth waiting just in case!

Rabbids Party on Switch for only £20

Would highly recommend this as a fun multiplayer game over Christmas. I think you get over 50 mini games - you don't need multiple Joycon sets either - normal controllers work.

I think we paid £25 when it first came out and we've had lots of use out of it.

@Puffalicious
I'll have a look when I go tomorrow, both my kids are Autistic so I understand the search for specific items! We are squishmallow mad in this house, we also have some of the aldi squishees.

I’m a bit gutted that I missed the diffuser alarm clock that was on this morning. Didn’t realise they were a thing but it’d be perfect for hard to buy for 16 year old. If anyone sees a bargainous diffuser specifically with a clock then please share 🙂Thanks

I'm posting in desperation to see if any of you wonderful MNers can help! DS3(10) has additional needs and has announced he would like a selection of the Aldi Squashmallows. We have quite a few of the originals, but he saw the space collection in store and would like all 3 🙈. I nipped back and got the Moon and Spaceman, but Alien was sold out. I've since tried 4 other Aldis to no avail.

They were in store a few weeks back, but still a few around. If anyone sees Alien on their travels I'll be forever in your debt if you could purchase and post, the cost of which, of course, I'll reimburse immediately.

I located and posted some lights for a poster last year, so I'm hoping the Christmas karma will come around.

Here is Alien and it's £6.99

@Puffalicious I will check next time i am in for you. Not from this current range but has your son got one of the Earth ones from last year? I would be happy to send you mine if it is one he would enjoy

Gruffalo advent calendar is down to 6.70 again on amazon :)

I had welcomeback5 on my account but it’s worth a try.

There's 5.75% off via Quidco as well

Thanks for the new thread

NightOwl101 · 08/11/2022 18:34

There's a unicorn hooded blanket on there too now... looks like the Oodie design 🤷🏻‍♀️
Tempting...

You're so kind, thank you.

Sass and Belle have some nice bits in the sale with some good discounts.

You are so unbelievably kind. He does indeed have an Earth one.

The kindness on these threads blows me away sometimes x🤗

Pixie2015 · 08/11/2022 19:08

I got the kuddly hoodies from 5poundstuff in an earlier thread they were vacuum packed - was cold the other night so we opened then the smell was awful spice/chemicals so aired them and washed before we used - if giving as gift for someone you might want to open then and air them first 😳

Bogglebrain · 08/11/2022 19:26

@redjoker thanks for the M&S bargain. I had actually finished all my shopping and was determined not to read any more Christmas threads in case the twitching gets too much! I’d already bought my mum some toiletries but I think this set is better so I’ll have to return the other lot.

Must now step away from the thread….

Ordered two of the otter "oodies" following the trend for my nieces. I bought my daughters oodies a few years ago and they love them.

Cornishqween · 08/11/2022 19:52

Does anyone have any recommendations for somewhere that does a nice pair of mens slippers. Got these for my dad a couple of years back and he loved them but they've seen better days...he wants something similar. Don't have to be particularly bargainous Smile

Cornishqween · 08/11/2022 19:52

Sorry pic would have helped

@Cornishqween Fatface face these they look similar but they don't have the elastic bits on

They have some personalised Santa sacks. Not cheap but they look lovely.
