@onedayatatime73 no, my degausta box advent calendar hasn't even been dispatched. I did the groupon voucher and had so so much trouble with it, I wish I hadn't bothered. Now DH will be the only one without. Website says delivery between the 30th and the 7th. Sigh

Think it was mentioned earlier. Bath and body works at next have buy 2 get 2 free on some items. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on candles but I got some body wash, fragrance spray and hand creams on the offer. Christmas fragrances so good for gifts.
Thanks for the tip

Any good family gift ideas? Brother, Sil and 2 adult children.

Mine hasn't despatched either. Agree. Wish I hadn't bothered. The whole point of an advent calendar is that it is here before 1st December.

Has anyone who ordered the wine and cheese tasting boxes and picked a future delivery date had theirs delivered yet?

I ordered on 6th November and chose today as a delivery date as I wanted it for a birthday present this week and it still hasn’t been dispatched. I ordered before they put the message up about kits bring out of stock until this week. I know it was cheap but I’m still annoyed and it puts me off ordering again.

I have no idea what a Tonies box is but have seen references to them on here. Anyway, Amazon have them on a lightening deal at the moment. It looks as though it's some sort of Disney related bundle but there are various different ones

Thank you for the cat tower suggestions. I ended up finding one on wayfair which was more expensive than i wanted, then I found it on amazon ended up £10 cheaper and here tomorrow!
FYI pets at home kitten/puppy club seems good, bought some toys and a new carrier from there today.
I'm not a new cat owner so I know anything I buy is at risk for never being used! But these 2 seem very playful so hopefully it will be ok. Pray for me and my house 😉

I got my degusta calendar a couple of weeks ago but ordered via Groupon in Sept/Oct and it did say delivery would be middle of Nov.
I think the postal strikes have slowed everything down. I've ordered the smashed grapes wine taster for Xmas week so hope that turns up. I also ordered a box of wine from them and that hasnt turned up either!

I think it’s more likely to be because of the postal strikes on 24th / 25th November. They won’t be able to mark as dispatched if no one’s taking them. I got mine delivered even though it was “ out of stock” .

My smashed grapes advent calendar turned up the other day and still hasn't been marked as dispatched yet

Oh gosh I hope they aren’t all like that, I ordered a few of them to gift!

I just checked, I ordered on 3rd November, I didn't pick a date so should have been despatched straight away. I've heard nothing since my confirmation email which states "Don't worry, this isn't where we go silent, we'll keep you posted about your order every step of the way."

Yes I ordered Malbec tasting kit when they first did the spin the wheel offer, didn’t specify any date. Had an email couple of weeks ago saying it would be delayed…
I also ordered a box of wine on 18th & heard nothing about that so have just emailed them tonight to chase up.

Yes I was thinking the same! I have 5 bars but was intending to gift them all so can’t even check really…

Has anyones asda George 40% tracked? Mine hasn't and I'm a bit worried that it's going to end up like matalans 50% last year

I ordered when they were out of stock so expected then sometime after this week but they arrived about a fortnight ago. They weren’t for a gift so it didn’t matter. I was going to order the Malbec case with my £10 voucher but the £9.99 postage put me off. I hope yours comes soon.

My Degusta box arrived a while ago, but I’m still waiting for my Candy Kittens advent.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a bracelet for a tiny 11 year old. It's for dd's friend and she is really really little so I'm kind of nervous of buying something and it just falling off her?

Board game. Every time.

Mine tracked at half the amount it should’ve been so I’ve put a claim in

Has anyone got an M&S discount code? Got my eye on a couple of bits!

Anyone seen these PJs in store in ASDA? They're out of stock online and nephew has specifically requested smiley face pyjamas 🤦‍♀️ - just wondering if it's worth driving out to ASDA to check?

Same, no tracking here.
ASOS also didn't track at the right amount (expected £13 and showing as £3.50).
First time using cashback so disappointed!

You need to join sparks to get any discounts but to be honest, they’ve been really bad recently. Think 50p off a loaf of dread or £1 of fish. They’ve just done 20% off coats and jackets but everyone on. these threads just wasn’t a 20% off across the board. They seem to have stopped that though.

What size do you need? I can check our local shop on Thursday and post if they have them?
