@Serenitesanta To go with Posca how about some things to decorate in either wood, papiermache etc. There are lots of ideas in Hobbycraft like this. Otherwise maybe a nice sketchbook and/or one with black paper.

@Mrssalvatore123 there's 20% off Neom candles in JL. Not sure if the Christmas wish one is there.

@Scout2016 @doctorboo @Arewesureitisntbedtime @WhyDoesItAlways @lemonsmum
Thank you all! I think a nice biscuit and tea/hot chocolate hamper is the consensus. I may get an individual gift for key worker, so the bauble might be a nice touch too for her.

I’m after something that seems only available from JD Sports, has anyone seen a discount code (it’s not in their BF sale)? Or would anyone be kind enough to PM me a unidays code for there please?

lifelongfrugaleer · 26/11/2022 08:23

I’m in the north east can you recommend the Mua please @IggyAce

AlabamaWorley22 · 26/11/2022 08:27

Thanks to @ChristmasCwtch for the Tillyanna tip off - I’ve wanted one of these bags for a while so snapped it up at this price. Unfortunately the extra £5 off code didn’t work for me but still an amazing deal. Thanks!

When my son was in primary, I'd send in a box with Christmas treats, mince pies, chocs, tea & coffee. Ds enjoyed choosing the treats and decorating the box the weekend before 1st Dec. The staff enjoyed having something decent to snack on at breaktime.

I used to do the same - we sometimes mixed it up and done a breakfast box and hit the supermarket before school and filled it with croissants 🥐 danish pastries 🥮 pancakes 🥞 and jams etc
it went down well

Fossil have an extra 40% off of their outlet with the code OUTLETVIP, they give you 50% off if you buy two or more items. There are some beautiful watches, handbags and purses on there.

@Amandasummers Barry M also do value bundles for £20. There’s a few different bundles if you search “Value Makeup Bundle Bag”. There’s also a code on the site for 35% off.

IggyAce · 26/11/2022 08:44

I think it may only be until midnight but you cab get 10 Christmas cards with the photo of your choice on photobox for the cost of delivery- £2.99 with code FREECARDS

@Soscrewed Thanks so much this was still working this morning

lancslass17 · 26/11/2022 08:49

Mums please can you help me find bargains for :

Cashmere or nice socks for grandad
Nice hair care for 9 year old
Stocking fillers for 4 year old
What are you getting mums this year ? (59, already got an ooodie ).

Thanks

ChristmasCwtch · 26/11/2022 08:55

@lancslass17 I’d head to Home Bargains for the hair care. You could make a nice little hamper from stuff I’ve seen in store.

Same for stocking fillers if the 4 yr old is a girl. I always see nice little bits there. Not so much for boys.

Athlebad · 26/11/2022 08:59

Not really Christmasy, but good if you need either of these for your car, especially going into winter: Kwikfit have 10% off 2 or 20% off 4 on selected tyres and 30% off selected batteries with code BFSALE. Pay online and book it in for a future date (not sure how far in the future you can go, I need mine doing so booked for next week). 2.76% from TopCashBack.

spudsuliked · 26/11/2022 09:01

Not sure if it's what you're after but there's a few items that include a donation to Ukrainian charities, I've ordered a beautiful screen printed calendar through Olia Hercules' Instagram and there's the knead peace cook book that I mentioned previously which is really lovely (although maybe more out of budget although cheap on Amazon at the moment with same donation amount), think there's a few other things Olia has mentioned, might be too much 'gift' and not enough donation but thought worth mentioning!

colderandeatsmincepiesalot · 26/11/2022 09:08

Has anyone got a discount code for Celtic sheepskin please? DH wants slipper boots and they are rather pricey :(

Rosie913 · 26/11/2022 09:08

Thanks for the approved food tip! I’ve just bought two dairy milk bars, two Lindt boxes, two Vaseline gift sets and a few other bits for less than £25. The Lindt products have passed their best before dates but the people I’m gifting them too definitely won’t mind.

Letthesunshineonin · 26/11/2022 09:09

Good price for Beat That.

Carrie76 · 26/11/2022 09:17

@Mrssalvatore123 bamboo clothing do super soft hats and scarfs. They have 30% off at the moment plus a free pair of socks! You also get 20% with a referral code ( I get money off a future order). I’ve put my code on the referrals board if you want it!

@PancakeFace77 really easy to cancel but you need to do it over phone and they try to offer you all sorts of offers.

I got the box last year and still have my subscription 🙈 I've rang 3 times to cancel and each time been 'persuaded' to keep it a bit longer! Next time so will manage it! 💪🏻

Code won't apply for me and the item was definitely from the outlet section 🤷‍♀️
