Can you update if it's any good when you get this please? I've been debaiting ordering but haven't took the plunge yet

yes I’d be keen to hear what you get too please!!!

NightOwl101 · 13/11/2022 19:03

Puffalicious that's exactly how I feel. My DSS is terrible for wiping his hands on clothes and even imagining him in a £70 white top makes me itch

There’s 20% off almost everything at ASOS between 7-9 today - code is speedy

Thanks for the Terrace Store code @Lurleene , just bought a Newcastle mystery box with free delivery Smile

Did you go for the mini box or the gold? I also want a Newcastle one. Looking through their merch, I'd be happy with anything from their Toon range, but it doesn't say how many items you get. It just says what you receive will be worth more than you pay. Looked through the reviews and nobody specifically mentions the mystery box.

i can’t remember who was looking for an England rugby shirt but there is a discount code for England Rugby - not sure if it’s good for shirts but it’s ERSBF30

@Givealittlebit ?? If not you then apologies!

LEGO 10965 DUPLO Bath Time Fun: Floating Animal Train Bath Toy for Babies and Toddlers 1.5 - 3 Years Old with Duck, Hippo and Polar Bear, Bathtub Water Toys for Girls and Boys, Easy to Clean amzn.eu/d/8xFU5m3

if anyone is still looking for Lego Duplo Bath toys, it’s £13.49 but there is a voucher for £3.49 to be applied at checkout to bring it down to a tenner

happyharpy78 · 13/11/2022 19:14

@RainbowZebraWarrior I just went for the normal one, took the view that even if it's just a mug and a coaster that's not bad taking the free delivery into account. Fingers crossed!

Givealittlebit · 13/11/2022 19:18

@Cantthinkofabettername not me for rugby kit I'm afraid!

Although I am still after a Matalan code if anyone has one? I have a very full basket that I could do with not paying £££ for! Blooming lanky children growing too quickly 😅

Gift cards - just don’t buy the awful one4all ones - it seems like a good idea as you can use them in lots of places but they are honestly such a pain - see this thread from last year

www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/4436943-one4all-giftcards-are-a-nightmare

I posted on the linked thread , but if you have one of the one4all vouchers you can basically use it to buy a John Lewis voucher for the same value. It also resets your expiry date so well worth it. Not sure if you can do the same for other retailers but worth checking.

Thanks for game recommendations earlier. Bought the taco/pizza one and a new version of uno. Still looking at the others and holding out might get some deals on black friday

oatmilkisntsobad · 13/11/2022 19:23

Can anyone recommend some decent pyjamas for men? Ideally shorts / t-shirt ones which I know this is not the season for but that's all they wear!

IggyAce · 13/11/2022 19:24

Lego Friends organic cafe is half price at £12.50.

Blixem · 13/11/2022 19:27

I've got a £10 off boden code I'm not going to use.

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?!

The Funny Bunnies game was the same but luckily it wasn't a present. The label is stuck on the outside too.

Anyone able to recommend a fire pit? I'm looking at the site below for DH but open to suggestions of ones people have actually used!

eu.solostove.com

(Have a £10 off code for that site tho still not cheap)

We have a solo stove and it's great. Bought it last year for Christmas and we use it a lot. Really lovely burn and easy to clean. Not cheap but excellent.

WhereTheresAHill · 13/11/2022 19:37

Thank you so much @Blixem 🥰

WhereTheresAHill · 13/11/2022 19:39

@Givealittlebit If NightOwls code doesn’t work let me know - I have a 20% off over £30 spend

Givealittlebit · 13/11/2022 19:42

@NightOwl101 ahh unfortunately it says code not valid so much have been used!

@WhereTheresAHill if you don't plan on using it that would be fab thank you!

ChutneyTheChimp · 13/11/2022 19:42

Has anyone got a Smart Sketcher? My son really wants one after seeing it on an advert but it seems like a lot of money to pay if it’s going to be rubbish.

PancakeFace77 · 13/11/2022 19:51

We got one and my DS 10 broke it taking it out of the box. It’s not been used again (and yes I was too rubbish to return and replace)
