@ScarierThanBoo thanks for the title. Hope your slappers keep you lovely and warm and cushion your feet through the winter Xmas Grin

Thank you @Puffalicious! It's for DH so the bigger one might be just what I'm looking for. He drinks loads of water overnight and I'm fed up of hearing the squeaky lid on his bottle!

Well I put my smashed grapes for delivery in the 22 December so now am honestly not sure they will arrive or not depending on the postal strikes. Not a main gift but would like it to arrive!!

Me too. And it is a main gift for my friend up in Scotland. I'm just hoping I've timed it right between strikes and they have stock!

DandelionDahlia · 06/12/2022 17:23

I’m yet another person who had rubbish customer service from Dunelm.
My item arrived smashed.
I reported it online with photos, got a generic “we’re looking into it” message.
Then nothing.
Reported it again, same response.
Left a purely factual review and it was deleted.

NoWordForFluffy · 06/12/2022 17:25

I've not had any online issues with Dunelm. I was served by a really sullen young lady in the store the other week though!

sittingonacornflake · 06/12/2022 17:40

I actually issued a small claim via money claims online against Dunelm recently because they just didn't deal with my complaint about a delivery turning up damaged. They didn't respond to the claim at all and I got default judgment which they paid immediately. So weird and so much more expensive for them.

I received mine the other day. Evri thankfully not Royal Mail!

They've just sent an automated email saying delivery delayed as so popular! Will be dispatched with Evri and will email with tracking number as soon as sent out. I hope it arrives in time for Xmas!

So it's a present for you too?! 🤣 If he's not travelling with it, a SHO bottle with an added straw top also an option (they leak when in a bag bounced around). They are very good quality and come beautifully packaged.

oriel2013 · 06/12/2022 18:22

Can anyone make use of a £10 off 30 Boden code? I won't use mine.

DS has made a late addition to his Santa letter -pokemon sword switch game. I've seen it in Currys at £36.99, has anyone seen cheaper?

@deeplybaffled Etsy is amazing for cross stitch, they have so many patterns and a lot of them are available as a kit.

I’ve had the odd luck on Amazon too. Sometimes if you know what you want and Google it,all types of good results can come up.

Boots £10 Tuesday includes a lot of baby- related things today.

There are also a few beauty and skincare items, and a vibrator.

When did Boots start selling vibrators??

Mince314s · 06/12/2022 18:27

DennisSkinnersMolotov · 06/12/2022 16:49

I'm on the lookout for a good insulated water bottle that has a drinkable lid or straw (just something you don't need to remove the lid to drink from). 750ml - 1l ideally and under £20 if anyone has seen any?

We have a sho one. Very robust and you can buy spare lids.

livinginhope87 · 06/12/2022 18:31

@oriel2013 I would love the code please

Abigfeckingspider · 06/12/2022 18:32

I must admit @Yalz that your post made me spit my tea out earlier!

Any recommendations for a nice diffuser/candle for £10?

Helssjbells · 06/12/2022 18:46

@deeplybaffled have you tried Cotton Clara? They do lovely sets

Fartymcfart · 06/12/2022 18:52

Can anyone recommend a foodie gift?

Got them a spicery set last year that was a great hit.

Thank you

ChristmasCwtch · 06/12/2022 18:53

@Twonka the John Lewis candles and diffusers are lovely. The vanilla and cinnamon ones are delicious.

MoiraDavidAlexisJohnny · 06/12/2022 18:54

I've had emails from zavvi and revolution beauty today saying they are having issues with parcel delays. I'm just hoping they arrive before Christmas!

SleeptightDaisy · 06/12/2022 18:56

@sepsisandAKI @Squ1ggle I ordered on the 2nd of November got the tracking number on the 21st so was hoping it wouldn't be long but tracking still says sender despatching item. Not essential but will be a pain to keep track off and get a refund if needed.

I saw some lovely ones in M&S today.

Neom have a Spin to Win thing today.

Code CHRIST769 might be generic for a free travel candle with a £20 purchase. Apologies if it ends up being an account specific one.

IDontDrinkTea · 06/12/2022 16:01

No. Im not having much luck really. I also haven’t received my smashed grapes order or the personalised Santa sack…

I did one of their popcorn codes earlier this year. It took ages to get to the person I had put for delivery (so long in fact, I’d forgotten I’d ordered it until the recipient called me to ask if I’d sent them some popcorn!).
