However, there is much debate whether they are genuine, and it seems to be pot luck what brand you get (could be an oodie, kudd.ly, huggly, Primark or unknown). All discussion on this to go on the other thread :)

They only have one type in stock atm, but seem to randomly update.

guma it's face wash you get, just checked!

Also have bitten the bullet and ordered a football top for £25 from footballsbest4U It gets good reviews and it's worth a punt for that price.

Please could you share the website address for the kit? Thanks so much!

I had the same issue as others with degustabox on Groupon (i ordered it a month ago for £16.95 and didn’t realise i had to redeem) and Groupon only offered me the attached options, so i am not sure if they know what’s up

I did option 3 and it went back in straight away (used PayPal).

Can anybody help me with Ring doorbell advice please? Looking to buy one for my Gran for Xmas. If I get one without the chime, does it only ring through the app on her phone?

thaegumathteth · 13/11/2022 16:51

@Puffalicious that sounds like a lovely trip but I suspect ds would rather die than have to actually visit a shop with me. I'll have a look at your suggestions. Funnily enough Dd had her face masks out the other day and I was wondering if ds would do one...

I can't find the PP who had something arrive from Amazon completely unwrapped, so it might be the same thing, but my bargainous Christmas logo game just arrived, with zero packaging other than clear cellophane. It couldn't be a more noticeable box FFS.

Luckily the recipient has just gone upstairs to do something, but otherwise that would have been a present ruined. I wish Amazon wouldn't do this. Would it be that much more appalling for the environment to use opaque cellophane at least?!

@TheContinentalHotel thank you!

@TwinsAndTiramisu ive literally just had something arrive in clear packaging too. It seems to be one extreme to another for me - too much cardboard or none 🫤

I have noticed with all amazon packages now you must scroll down fully to read the full description. Many say arrives in packaging that reveals the contents - most give you the option to add amazon packaging but some dont! Not good for gifts . I tend to send as much as I can to a locker now just in case.

Anyone know if it's even worth trying to get last year's Squishmallows? Didn't know the Earth one existed but geography mad DS would like it a lot!

@IHeartKingThistle I have one but it doesn't have the squishmallow tag (it had come off in the shop before I bought it) purchased from aldi last year. If it would still be suitable send me a PM and I'll get it in the post to you on Tuesday on my day off

Very have Estée Lauder Beautiful Belle Eau De Parfum 50ml for £36 - best price online by far. Have purchased for MIL who is a fan of the original

IHeartKingThistle · 13/11/2022 17:10

Oh bless you @Justhereforthechristmasthreads you really don't have to do that!

Oh bless you @Justhereforthechristmasthreads you really don't have to do that!

@IHeartKingThistle honestly if it's suitable without the cardboard tag it really isn't a problem. It has got the the safety labels

Sallylovesdaisy · 13/11/2022 17:14

@Talisin thanks so much

IHeartKingThistle · 13/11/2022 17:16

For Amazon I just mark everything as a gift at this time of year so it all comes in Amazon boxes. Apart from the surprise element my delivery people seem unable to knock so I often find soggy parcels that would have been ruined if not in extra boxes.

Thank you to whoever recommended footballsbest4u.com for cheap football kits.
Got my boys the england world cup football kit and they are great. Got the kids names on the back and bought my husband one too. they arrived on Wednesday, been worn several times and have washed well too. They took about a month to come. Well worth the price

buckeejit · 13/11/2022 17:29

Thanks for updated bargains, I've got a load from Rex london - (I have a lot of children to buy for so I like to get strange consumables like picture napkins & other party items)

Also the joules sale is great - their wellies are fab &dd is up to size 5 now so needs new ones. And a filet for dh. Feel like I'm making some headway now 😁

Yep you need the chime or it’ll only come through on her phone/iPad/Alexa if she sets it up on there.

I’m trying to decide what temporary tattoos I want from Rex London for the kids’ stockings! Also messaged some friends to see if they want to order with me so we don’t have to pay for postage.

I’m going to a Joules “big sale” in a couple of weeks and I’m so excited! Hoping I can finish everyone’s gifts off there 🤞🏼
