Mine hasnt shown up yet but I emailed them and they just said it takes a while, we shall see

Thank you! Just ordered the jackets and base layers too! Saved an extra £7.71 with the discount

Topcashback has up to 21.5% back on Glossy box 1 year paid in advance subscription, and 17% on a 6 month subscription. Got to travel light back to see family this year, so though it would be a lovely, rolling present for my DM.

I've also got a 3 month cider subscription for DBiL from not on the high street, with cashback (6%, new account), the free first case from Beer52 for DDad (will let the subscription run for a couple of months).

For DSis, I've taken a punt on Dandy Snacks, a monthly snack box subscription, mini is £9.50 a month. No cashback or discounts available, but I've used Snack Suprise (now Snack Universe) in the past, and they have been so flaky and unreliable, that I wanted a different option.

@chocolatepudandchocolatesauce randomly my Candy Kittens parcel has just arrived in the post, no despatch email or anything. Like you mine is for ME, so I’m happy now! Thought that I would have to share DH’s Degusta box.

@NightOwl101 anthropologie has some beautiful bits!

I’m behind and haven’t caught up on this thread yet so sorry if any ones asked already!

has anyone seen any good iPad deals?

Missed the Costco one 🤦‍♀️ But would really like to get one for dd because she’s had a crappy year.

@itmustbemyage that's good to know! The postman has been this morning but just for letters, I'm hoping they do parcels on a different round :) if not I may email Candy Kittens so they can get a refund on the postage. The strike isn't until tomorrow so they should be able to complete 48hr deliveries if sent before that (which it was!).

Youngest child has just decided she wants the Little Live Guinea Pigs Mama Surprise toy which is out of stock literally everywhere. Terrible parent alert. If anyone has any inside information on this I would be most grateful - feels very Jingle All The Way!

@Closedlips Maybe sell a kidney and buy this one? 😫

My hot diamonds order arrived, so beautiful! The packaging was gorgeous, ring is the perfect size and it's currently sat on my bloated pregnant fingers alongside my wedding band making up for the fact I can't wear any other rings currently! I want to order more already

Yes the resale prices are now crazy on Vinted etc, people are the worst!

My girls both had jewellery kits from Amazon for birthdays, but instead of beads they’ve got a selection of Pandora style charms. They'd been asking for Pandora but no way were they getting them! They’re lovely for the money. They fit both the 6 and 8 year old because they’re adjustable. This sort of thing Bracelets - but there’s all sorts of prices and styles if you search.

@NormalForNuneaton They're 3 for £10 at Farmfoods and it includes boxes of Ferrero Rocher (16s I think).

Thanks @kateandme . I'm not totally sure - maybe something with an initial charm on? Don't want to spend more than £20.

And @Irritatedmum that's cute but I think a bit young for the 11 year old. Thanks though .

Does anyone know how Degustabox is sent? My DH advent calendar is preparing to leave the warehouse and the deliver date has gone from 30/11- 7/12 to 22/11 to 30/11. Just wondered if it's something like DPD where there would be a chance or RM where there's none!

@Restlessinthenorth also waiting on my order from football best for you with a tracking email from the 21st. I'm hoping it's not lost and just caught up in last week's royal mail strikes.
Dissappointed with the packinging from hot diamonds especially with others saying how nice it was. I ordered a chain and it's arrived in a tiny plastic bag within their gift bag. I can't gift it like it is as.

@Piccalino3 mine was the same as yours. I've just logged on and it says in transit.

Re: ongoing Dairy Milk saga:
I opened one of mine to check and it's totally fine, not grainy at all (phew). Luckily, the packaging is resealable, so I've just broken off one full strip resealed it, and will have to gift it to DS rather than someone outside the family and hope he's so overcome by the size of it that he doesn't notice the slightly jaggedy edge 🙃

Can anyone suggest where to get nice but cheap pens and station dry hits for young adult dds stockings? I usually order from Rex but left it too late this year abd nothings inspiring me on Amazon

@SleeptightDaisy I just looked again and same. Now fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow or Thursday!!

On the subject of waiting for deliveries, have people had their Beer52 calendars? Mine has been ‘with’ Evri since last Weds….

Saw this and thought of some posts over the 16 threads

@thaegumathteth Joma jewellery bracelets are popular with that age group and they do child sizes which are small.

@captainflash mine just arrived, I was starting to think it wasn't coming then it went from "we're expecting it" to with the courier via two depot's all in one go. Don't know if its just me or a possible issue with evri's tracking. Fingers crossed it will be with you in time.

Ours arrived within 48 hours of ordering
