Thanks @Robstersgirl for the title. Wonder if it was the thread that did it!

Thanks for posting about scrawlrbox, I just got my DD 5 kits and know that she'll love them. I couldn't get the extra £3 off code to work but I'm still very happy!

Anyone seen any good deals on the pixel 6a or any bargainous Nintendo switch game offers particularly after the new Pokémon game

@bizzey it was EASELCAL if it is still live - I have a nagging suspicion it finished yesterday

Photo Box

@bizzey And yes you would need to use a different email address (same home address seems to work as both mine arrived)

Does anyone have any suggestions for 7/8 year old boys, budget of £10. I already bought them the Lego technics monster jam so need something to go with them?

sorryiasked · 25/11/2022 16:07

Has anyone seen these on their travels? It's a zip thru robe/blanket. Absolutely perfect but the colours I need aren't available until January 😕
(An oodie style is no good. All the other wearable blankets I've seen are really long and the person I need it for is only 5'2 and will break her neck in them!)

For the previous posters shopping for goth girls, KOI Footwear has some really good Black Friday reductions and an extra 10% off sale prices with VIP10. DD has and LOVES the Gold Star and Moon chunky boots which are still going strong after more than a year. I'm kind of obsessed with the velvet Mary Janes which I am trying hard not to buy even though they are under £20 with the code... Argh!

Crystaly · 25/11/2022 16:18

Thank you for the scrawlrbox deal.

my daughter is 6 and loves art. Are these too old for her? Tempted to buy one for myself too.

zeerecords · 25/11/2022 16:19

Someone mentioned about there being a Merlin pass sale in January usually and it being better to buy then as you can get a whole year from it. Is that right? Just wanted to check before I buy.

Fuckingfuckssake · 25/11/2022 16:21

@CoffeeAndEnnui they are amazing, any way around the £6 postage??

ImHavingAnOldFriendForDinner · 25/11/2022 16:21

@redjoker how did you get the free bag?

Moonshine5 · 25/11/2022 16:22

Anyone see Heelys on Black Friday offer?

Irritatedmum · 25/11/2022 16:28

Confirmation that Claire’s squishmallows and other plushes are half price and in the buy 3 get 3 free. It’s on this weekend only

bizzey · 25/11/2022 16:30

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads thank you for replying!

Yes it did run out yesterday.
I can't believe how stupid I was not to do 2 at a time !

I am always doing things in a rush and never think things through 😂

I have uploaded the photos so if another deal comes about ...at least I am ready !

CoffeeAndEnnui · 25/11/2022 16:32

@Fuckingfuckssake I just spoke to their customer service for that very reason (may have been losing willpower over the Mary Janes) and they said they've had to disable the £3.99 option because of the Royal Mail strikes and the risk of backlogs/things going astray BUT just discovered that the purchases will track on TopCashBack so that offsets a little of the extra. I'll add my link thing to the referral thread in case anyone needs one.

Pawport · 25/11/2022 16:35

I wonder if anyone could help me with this please? I’m looking for Christmas cards that have a bookish theme, so could be book quotes or a nice picture of a bookshop, something like that. Looking for a pack of multiple cards and not wanting to spend a fortune. If anyone has come across some like that on their travels or sees any when they’re out and about, could you give me a shout please? Thank you!

TheCrow · 25/11/2022 16:39

Thank you whoever posted about claires plushies, got 4 squishmsllows, a flippy cat and a santa cat vs pickles for £24, excellent bargain. All plushes in the deal including squishmallows, the squishmallow backpacks, pusheen, ty etc. Offer on till Sunday. Our branch were only putting the 50% off signs out at 4 this afternoon but the lady working was telling everyone about the promotion and was very helpful!

Works out about 60-70p a card I think so not a total bargain but definitely book themed!

AlliwantforChristmasisgu · 25/11/2022 16:43

You beat me to it I was going to recommend the Bodleian as well!

Maharajah20 · 25/11/2022 16:44

Last year had a gift box of 3 Elemis pro collagen cleansing balm. One of each flavour for about £45. 50ml size I think. Anyone seen Spanx about this year? Thanks

...in good old panto style, "oh no it isn't".

Maharajah20 · 25/11/2022 16:44

*seen any about 🙄

Ridingladybugs · 25/11/2022 16:47

@Crystaly - yes I’d say they are too old for a 6 year old

Does anyone use Honey rewards? My son told me about it a few years ago, it can be used alongside topcashback etc and it searches for valid discount codes. You also earn reward points. I've just logged on and realised I have enough points to get 3 £10 amazon gift cards.

If anyone is interested I am going to post on the referral thread.

Oh no, I’ve been ignoring the percentage pop ups, didn’t know what it was doing! Can you get that alongside cashback? I’ve missed out 🤦🏻‍♀️
