Neom christmas scent oils are £14 on amazon

Yes the offers were bonus VIP points on specific items (free to join their VIP programme) and the give away promotion when spending over certain amounts. I think it was £65 in store for a baking kit or £170 online/in store for the winter elves set.

Over VIP weekend, you could buy discount codes with your VIP points for particular sets.

For Black Friday, you'll 'pay' less in points for discount codes. Plus there are free gifts etc.

I've now got a basket full of hot diamond presents and the discount codes I saved from the earlier thread don't work. Are there any new codes?

The big hotwheels garage looks like a good price at just under £60 Deal of the day: Hot Wheels City Ultimate Garage - Multi-Level Track Playset with 2 Cars - Moving Robo T-Rex - Storage for Over 100 1:64 Scale Cars - Gift for Kids 3+ -GJL14 amzn.eu/frEkTVY

@Turtleoo the white company winter fragrance oil is very Christmassy & works in a diffuser - you could get another in budget I think with 20% off - they've added quite a few new fragrance oils this year.

I'm looking for gifts for 13 yo ds but feel out of ideas. Not too bulky as flying to in laws for Christmas

Realfastfoodie · 23/11/2022 22:38

I have just ordered a Laithwaites case of 12+1 extra bottle + some nice looking glasses. Reduced to £95, but you can also apply the FRIDAY20 code to get another 20 off. 13 bottles of wine for £75 works out pretty reasonable and they are nice - good enough for a smart present.

These Crocs are £31 on the website but only £23 on Amazon, there quite a few colours around the same price. These are my go to gift for dads/uncles/in-laws😂

Wow, I didn’t know that @NoWordForFluffy - that’s practicality free wine if those all stack!!

ImHavingAnOldFriendForDinner · 23/11/2022 23:04

Has anyone bought this? My dd8 wants it but it's really expensive and I don't want it to be a 5 minute wonder or just really crap! The reviews are pretty decent but thought I'd ask on here.

@Turtleoo White company do some lovely diffuser oils. The “winter” is Christmassy. They are £10

FilthyforFirth · 23/11/2022 23:17

This bath duplo is pretty cheap, £13.50 with a voucher taking it down to £10! I know it was popular a few threads back.

Bloody chocolate. I don't need it but us thwarting me!!! I think Amazon sees punishing regular fat chocolate ears like me for having prime!!! Aaaargghh!!!

jocktamsonsbairn · 23/11/2022 23:24

Chocolateers 🙈

slipperypenguin · 23/11/2022 23:49

Has anyone bought the smiggle advent calendar before? Is it worth it? DS had wanted one but we said no as trying to cut corners to save a bit this year but it's down to £12 now

slithytoveisascientist · 24/11/2022 00:10

@mac1974 If you still have it please can I chuck my hat into the ring for it?

LunaCrystal · 24/11/2022 00:23

@slipperypenguin weve bought it before. Definitely good value at £12! Not so much when full price. But my son did like it when he got it. He was 9 at the time. Now he prefers the fidget ones they sell on Amazon 😀

thaegumathteth · 24/11/2022 01:31

@slipperypenguin I'd say worth it at that price BUT if you go on YouTube and search for smiggle calendar 2022 unboxing it should be easy to see what you think of the contents

Onceuponatimeinalandfaraway · 24/11/2022 03:03

Does anyone know where I can get inexpensive refills for reed diffusers please?

also looking for a super super bargain baby change station, preferably one with drawers if anyone comes across one. I know that’s likely a mega pipe dream as even second hand they’re more than I want to pay.

thank you

gawditswindy · 24/11/2022 04:14

Up all night with a sick child and still no chocolate. I've seen it twice but just can't add it. I don't even want it that badly - it's just become a habit. Grin

queenoftheglee · 24/11/2022 06:44

Do any of you shopping pros have recommendations for adult merino base layers? They need to feel like a luxury item, but I would obviously like to find a bargain!

Nonamenoplacetogo · 24/11/2022 06:47

Are there any Argos codes about that anyone knows of?

Travelplans · 24/11/2022 06:48

My DD has decided to ask Santa for the Barbie dream camper, anyone seen any bargains?

We can't do the Very 20% off for opening a credit account atm either, I've already used it and DH needs to apply for a large amount of credit for an extension very soon!

PenguinTattoo · 23/11/2022 22:16

Agree! "Winter" is my favourite Xmas scent.

Have had a look, the description says add to an electric diffuser or pot pourri. Does this mean not suitable for a reed diffuser? Not enough oil maybe? I'd like to get it if it's suitable as it's a lovely brand for a present
