@MaltbyMaeve not necessarily a bargain, but if he likes football one of the mystery shirts? For example surpriseshirts.co.uk

DH got me this last year and I really recommend it. Very fun.

You can get minis in Sainsbury's? Ooh. We only have a lindt pick and mix in ours.

The chocolonely advent is £9.99 with free postage on the Oxfam ebay shop.

What about some technology stuff like earphones/headphones an echo dot, tablet, phone case kind of things?

or some clothes like Nike hoody or something similar. Does he wear caps?

I’m new here - long time lurker

thank v much for Hotel Choc wreath heads up!

Have you tried Ian Snow for rugs? Black Friday sale just started

Not really Christmassy but a good deal for anyone who uses Aussie shampoo. 6 bottles for £13.51 on Amazon. I usually pay around £4 a bottle for this!

Re the Ukrainian pre teen boy - at this age my son liked the Xbox - so XBox voucher/live card etc if he has one? Plus sweets!! And cash.

Has anyone received their smashed grapes advent calendar yet? I ordered about 5 things and none of them have arrived!

@MistletoeMouse it's these in the Christmas aisle.

Thanks for the Oxfam heads up though

@user143677433 dunelm is quite good for rugs think they have some Black Friday deals on too!

@Georgieporgie29 - tech stuff is a really good shout - thank you. He does wear caps so that's another good idea - really appreciate it!

@Withholdingvitalinfo He has an xbox my DB leant him so stuff related to that is a good idea! Plus cash, was wondering if that was a cop out but I guess if that's what he'll appreciate it's probably better than me spending on things he doesn't like. thank you!

Thank you, but I can’t see it!! Very possible it’s me being dim tbh.
Good idea re Sainsbury’s

I got a confirmation e-mail.

I didn’t even need a dressing gown but clicked on the link like a sheep as one does. I saw some lovely slipper boots for my boys which they didn’t need and ended up adding a dressing gown to get free postage. No wonder I’m broke!

@Startuplife The nude neom mini pod is down to £40 on Amazon black Friday deal and the oils down to £14

@ThatshallotBaby looks like it's gone, it was under other sellers but I can't see it there anymore.

@MistletoeMouse says it's on Oxfam eBay shop for £10 with free delivery

@user143677433 Have you tried Kukoon rugs. They have thousands and discounts for black friday

What might be good is a card/voucher for the Xbox so he can speak to his friends and play with them on Xbox live. This was a godsend when my DS was off sick for 4 months and through the pandemic

@shinny we have the junior version of ticket to ride- which is great for my 6 and 8 year old. They absolutely love it. Ive just bought the adult version as my son turns 8 soon and i know he'd love il the next version up. My 6 year old will probably be alright with it too.
The europe version is by far the best one

Thanks for the rug suggestions. I’m working my way through now 🙂

I didn't wait for the birthday code for my order last night, I used BF30 and BIRTHDAY and they stacked, taking a £45 ring down to £20 posted. BIRTHDAY took £15 off

Has anyone seen nintendo switch sports cheaper than £29.99?

@IggyAce thanks for the heads up on the Abbot Lyon stuff. Unfortunately I can’t get the FIRST15 code to stack with the BF code - how did you manage to do this? Thanks!

Great find! Also stacks with UNiDAYS 15% code.

@Travelplans the Barbie camper is £70 at Amazon or the older Dream model is £60.

Thanks, have just done this and they stacked. JEWELS also stacked for free delivery. Lovely £45 earrings for my mum for £16.50. Will also get 6% cashback via quidco.
