@Arewesureitisntbedtime penknife, small torch, powerbank, one of those snowflake multitool things?

Talisin · 26/11/2022 21:07

Pack of cards, mini travel dominos if they’re into games at all.

Topcashback have 50% cashback on Claire's accessories which stacks with their sale.

Just ticked off a few presents full price of £81.50 for £35.60 and free delivery plus cashback of £15.

Brill thank you for this! Barely started shopping yet (and dd birthday is a few days before Xmas too). There's some stuff on her wish list she wanted which I've got for a mega bargain. Including a backpack she's wanted for months which was £35 full price and was down to £12.50 in the sale!

Gah, none of the Squishmallows are available for delivery!

4thtimesthecharm if you get any you don't want I'd be interested in buying them from you 😊

Thank you, its showing as invalid. I've popped onto hotdeals and I think it's only for items in the sale. 😭

@GirlWithTheYellowHat , we have Motorola T42's. They are great. About £35 for 3 in Argos or Amazon.

Thanks for the recommendation!

@Scout2016 if the birds don't like it you might attract cats 😂

@dizzygirl1 have you tried La Roudete for the trainers? I got mine for under £50 on there?

I can only see them for £76 on there.

My post was deleted although I didn't ask for it.

I'm looking for New balance 530 trainers and starry night hoodie on urban outfitters

I’m underwhelmed by Neom. They are advertising it as the best Black Friday offer ever but it’s only 25% off. Previously they have given free gifts worth £40 with a £40 spend. As long as you actually wanted both products, that equates to 50% off.

They did this offer last week. A £35 candle with a £40 spend then a £40 diffuser with a £40 spend. The BF offer is really disappointing in comparison.

Can anyone recommend a reliable company for seeds, both flowers and vegetables, please? Preferably ones where you can vouch that things will actually grow? Thank you!

1stTimeMama · 26/11/2022 21:36

I'm not sure on the prices of Claire's. They have the Disney Mini Brands 5 Surprise balls RRP of £16, in the sale for £14.40. I've only ever seen these for about £8 max, and Smyths have them for £3.99 at the moment.
That's more than double what every other shop is selling them singularly for when they're at their most expensive!

APotatoFlewAcrossTheRoomLastNightExcuseTheMess · 26/11/2022 21:44

@dizzygirl1 ahh damn, sorry. Also seen 15% off your first order if you sign up to the newsletter and maybe someone with a student discount can help you get 20% off (grasping at straws on the discount sites for you 🤣🙈)

They are super expensive for the branded toy type things. You're definitely right! I'd never buy them from Claires as Smyths are always miles cheaper.

For Black Friday weekend only Go Ape gift cards are discounted by 25% 🐒🐒

Real seeds are good and so some different ones. I got a white pepper seeds from there before!

LateNightTalking · 26/11/2022 21:51

Went actual shopping to look for the Claire's squishmallows and they were there! £24 for 6 of them - amazing!

Thanks to the poster who originally mentioned it.

It's ok, thanks for trying. I've signed up and no site of a discount code. Nothing on Defence discount service either.

Honestly why do they do this 4 weeks before Christmas when I've been asking for weeks what they want and getting 'nothing'. 🤦‍♀️

BF20 20% extra off at Apricot

VeruccaSalty · 26/11/2022 22:17

Skullduggeryfizz · 26/11/2022 22:22

Thank you so much, to whoever recommended the Secretsales website. I hadn't heard of them before and managed to get size 6 Airforce trainers, which no one else seemed to have. Used BLUELIGHT code and got them for £84.55.
Used TCB as well for 8.5%
