@thaegumathteth Joma Jewellery have children's bracelets. Not sure if they are adjustable though. Sorry if already suggested, not finished reading thread yet.

Courier has always been DPD.

For both the advent calander and the normal box subscription. They've (DPD) always been reliable with their delivery estimates for Degusta box.

Does anyone remember who the Argos cashback was with on Friday? Was it Quidco? I think it was an opt in to £20 cashback on a £100 purchase. Nothing has tracked for me.

@Vebrithien that's great news! Thank you so much! Now keep my 🤞

My Beer 52 advent calendar was delivered pretty quick within 3 days of ordering.
Im still waiting for my pjs from night, they are apparently now with Evri, so hopefully they’ll be here soon.

Smashed Grapes advent calendar just delivered by Parcel Force in a box and looks absolutely lovely. Can't wait to gift it to my parents.

Love this 😄

Some really good Bomb Cosmetics bargains on Just My Look.

Lots of things that can easily be split up for stockings

Thank you for the recommendation I now have a beautiful centre piece ordered

Need to order some birthday flowers for MIL does anyone have a code for Bloom & Wild or another letterbox flower company?

Also, I’d like to try and make my presents look relatively decent this year, rather than the normal throwing wrapping paper at them, while juggling a million and one other things and hoping for the best…. Are there any good places for cheap velvet ribbon?!

Are there still any valid codes for Buyagift?

Beer 52 advent calendar arrived this morning. Candy kittens came yesterday and so this was a job for today

Advent calendar

Selfridges have some lovely looking advent calendars reduced, like Hot Wheels for £10. Worth stashing for next year, now I just need a free delivery code!

Sho reusable have mystery boxes for £32.99 which contain 3 items worth £70. They have nice water bottles, food flasks, travel mugs etc. They also have a sale on their individual items.

ive not bought a mystery box but I have bought a reusable bottle from there and it’s lovely.

My degustabox account has a link to dpd but when I click through, it has been showing as ‘not received’ for days. I’ve messaged them on social media a couple of times and had no reply. Last year it arrived in plenty of time, I’m not impressed this time round.

Mine came via DPD

The NSPCC shop is offering a 5th stocking filler for free with a purchase of four. Some nice things on there like little binoculars. P&P is free over £30 shop.nspcc.org.uk/collections/nspcc-christmas-stocking-fillers-under-5

@IDontKnowWhatYouMean, that's rather annoying!

I can't see a tracking link anywhere and not had any emails to say it's been dispatched so who knows?! Is there a specific place on the website I should look for a DPD link?

@MoiraDavidAlexisJohnny might not be or interest if u want the real deal but I got my daughter a fake coraline doll from aliexpress. It looks identical to the £43 from hmv but was £16. Obv not taken it out the packaging yet so might not be the sturdiest but looks ok and my dd will probs be putting on a shelf.

Can anyone who has received the Smashed Grapes tasting kit, confirm whether it fits through a letter box? Mum just announced she'll be away around the days I put for delivery! TIA

Mine came within 24 hours...

Not unless you have a letter box large enough for a sausage dog to fit through!

For anyone who is waiting for Candy Kittens, this is the response I got a few days ago (still waiting...)
