Moon balls are great! I bought some in the John Lewis sale earlier in the summer if anyone else is avoiding Amazon. VERY springy so best used outside away from anything delicate but popular from age 2+.

I’m pleased to hear that about the moon balls @MerculesHorse.

I also avoid Amazon but luckily found a pack of 3 moon balls for £12 from another online retailer.

Has anyone ordered from We R Christmas before? The wreaths and garlands look very reasonable but I can’t see any reviews on any of the products I fancy

BluOcty · 16/11/2022 10:52

CAT5 at Happy Puzzle is £5 off £20+ by the looks of it. Still a great saving when the postage is £4.95, thanks for sharing.

Needtostartover · 16/11/2022 10:56

I’ve not used these but could be some nice (and humourous) gifts. Free delivery on orders over £10 seems quite reasonable.

@LostMyUserName Would you be able to share the retailer you purchased the pack of 3 from please?

Bluegirl288 · 16/11/2022 11:02

@Startuplife I have a Christmas tree and a little crib from we r Christmas and really happy with them, we got the tree with lights for half price one January and it's been great for 3 or 4 years so far

LostMyUserName · 16/11/2022 11:03

Here you go @Needtostartover moonballs

Unfortunately it says they’re out of stock now.

Startuplife · 16/11/2022 11:03

Perfect thanks @Bluegirl288 ordering now!

Needtostartover · 16/11/2022 11:12

@LostMyUserName Thank you anyway 🙂

Yeknom · 16/11/2022 11:17

Thanks @TheGirlWhoLived, I've ordered a copy. Any tips on buying a second microphone? I can see it only comes with one? c

chocolatepudandchocolatesauce · 16/11/2022 11:26

@captainflash I think the Candy Kittens were a pre-order although it didn't say when they'd be in stock. I've not heard anything after the order confirmation.

Pop in a box currently have 2 for £12 on their funko pops, offer includes marvel and Disney

dizzygirl1 · 16/11/2022 11:35

My avocado 'oodie' arrived.... no bag, no tags but the very small bit left looks like an oodie tag.
Feels gorgeous but is a but smelly so ill wash it when DD is at her dad's.

TheGirlWhoLived · 16/11/2022 11:42

@Yeknom you can use smart phones as a microphone but it’s a bit of a faff tbh. We bought a generic wired one which works brilliantly…

Sorry I added the photo instead of the link, duh 🙄

this is the one we bought, still going strong!

Yeknom · 16/11/2022 11:44

Ahh that's fantastic thank you! I can foresee arguments otherwise Grin

TheGirlWhoLived · 16/11/2022 11:47

@Startuplife how strange, I was browsing garlands and saw a lovely pre lit one on we r Christmas, never come across them before! I wonder if they’ve paid to be more prominent or something?

Dogmatix34 · 16/11/2022 11:48

Same here @dizzygirl1 No sign of a tag anywhere on mine and definitely needs a wash. Not sure how I’m going to do that without DD seeing. Does feel very weighty though so hoping it is a genuine Oodie

THE ‘BEST OF MAC’ BLACK FRIDAY KIT - Plus up to 9% on topcashback

(WORTH OVER £140)

purplehairtroll · 16/11/2022 11:50

Thanks possumcat

Startuplife · 16/11/2022 11:53

@TheGirlWhoLived just watch out for how the pre lit ones are powered. I want one for the bannister of our stairs and all of the pre lit ones need a plug socket so I’m thinking of getting a plain one and adding some battery operated lights.
They do seem very reasonable though and I must have looked at every other shop that sells them by now!

TheGirlWhoLived · 16/11/2022 11:58

thanks @Startuplife annoyingly I’m the opposite- I have a couple of well placed sockets but the other ones I’ve seen and liked are battery!

Giraffefantastico · 16/11/2022 12:07

Buying a Nintendo switch this year. Any thoughts on if it’s worth waiting for Black Friday offers or unlikely to be much of a saving?

ChristmasCwtch · 16/11/2022 12:08

Does anyone have a £5 off £30 Argos voucher they’re not using please?

OliverBabish · 16/11/2022 12:12

@Giraffefantastico I twitched and got the switch oled from Asda with cash back - took it to about £240. Will return if a better deal comes up but I feel it’s unlikely
