Our local Facebook group is full of messages this morning from people who have received post for completely different addresses. Really hoping my outstanding parcels that have gone via RM make it

Another one here with a Smashed Grapes voucher. Sigh.

Not having much luck with any of my orders, in fact - Smelly Pigs and Gruum have sent theirs but Royal Mail seem to be sitting on them, and zero from Honestly Eco 10 days after I ordered. They keep sending me emails with more discounts, but I'd really like to receive my first order and check that's ok before ordering more!

LookFantastic have 20% off a large selection of beauty gifts with code SHOP until 12pm

20% off men's gifts at the England Rugby Store today

I have a dear friend who will shortly be going through chemotherapy and radiotherapy, if anyone can suggest a lovely gift that would be much appreciated; I've done flowers and chocolates, I was thinking maybe a beautifully soft blanket or slippers? Hand creams? Any suggestions gratefully received!

I don't know what is "allowed" gadget wise during treatment but perhaps a netflix/apple/audible subscription to keep them distracted/entertained. Especially if you add a happy recommendation such as the good place/ted lasso/Thursday murder club. These are my recommendations BTW, all lovely comfort escapism.

Also something to cuddle when she gets back so a cuddle pillow or even a really soft jelly cat cuddly.comong home having a blanket and something to cuddle was so helpful.
A big snuggly hoodie.
Slipper booties.
A hot water bottle.
Even a deliveroo voucher so that if it strikes hard she doesn't have to cook.

PenguinTattoo · 08/12/2022 10:27

Oh yes, definitely a jellycat toy. I used to go stroke a specific one everytime we went into a particular shop and my DS bought it for me. I love it, it's like a hassle free cat. Grin
If it feels too childish, they have lots of different types so you can make it humorous. Eg, an avocado, mince pie, etc

I've got my eye on the elephant. Currently holding the dog.theres something about having a little bump next to you that's so comforting...and if I'm not allowed a warm puppy then...😁

PenguinTattoo · 08/12/2022 10:56

@kateandme it was the elephant that I used to go and stroke. So comforting!

Bsmirched · 08/12/2022 11:01

Today only, Printerpix have heavily discounted buy BOGOF photo blankets. You essentially buy a voucher but you can redeem and create them immediately.

20% off Jaegar wasn't what I was hoping for my birthday today 🤣.

They have so much of my data ...
You would have thought they could have given me free GIN today!

Happy birthday!
Would you like my 20% off socks as compensation 😂
I think I need to accept I peaked on day 1 with my free handcream and give it up....

WimbyAce · 08/12/2022 11:12

Has anyone got a free delivery code for the entertainer pretty please?

MadeForThis · 08/12/2022 11:12

My smashed grapes Malbec and scrawlbox arrived this morning!!!

slithytoveisascientist · 08/12/2022 11:30

Random specific request I'm hoping someone can help with please!

My DH is after a mini set of perfume dupes, and I don't even know where to start! No specific dupes just popular fragrances.

I have used Eden perfumes. The scent lasts for ages, an independent and ethical company as well.

My Dh got 2 smashed grapes vouchers and both have been disabled when gone to use them this morning

Needtostartover · 08/12/2022 11:56

@TitsInAbsentia We must be receiving the same offers 🤣

imnottoofussed · 08/12/2022 11:58

My smashed grapes £30 voucher says it's no longer available when I enter it on their site 🤦‍♀️

The email that was posted here a few pages back did say ‘we hope you can make use of it in the new year when the kits are back in stock’. Maybe it’s only valid for the kits or possibly just not valid till 2023? They didn’t make it clear if that is the case though.

Extra 12% off Escentuals today
Very good site I can recommend

Thanks @jocktamsonsbairn that code didn't work but it reminded me I have Unidays which did! Took it to below the price it would have been without delivery so happy with that.

Still clinging to hope of a Christmas miracle that my SG will come as I have had a despatch notice at same time as my voucher. No tracking number yet though.

And my Night PJs arrived. So lovely especially the tartan ones for DC.

Talisin · 08/12/2022 12:07

Olia Jewellery has 20% off all necklaces today with code necklace20. There’s also 15% off first orders but I’m not sure if they stack. Free delivery over £15.

FleasNavidad · 08/12/2022 12:08

I spent the SG vouchers yesterday. Wonder what will happen now!

FleasNavidad · 08/12/2022 12:15

I get the feeling that they've shut up shop...

SpottyBumPony · 08/12/2022 12:19

Are there any Spode Christmas Tree discount codes around? I want 4 dinner plates but would buy a set if it was a bargain x

Thank you

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 08/12/2022 12:25

Have you looked in tk maxx?
They had some in the Aberdeen one.

Mycatisalwaysangry · 08/12/2022 12:50

Any chance that the smashed grapes posters could create a different thread for discussion? It's not about bargains anymore and there's little other people can do to help.

Needtostartover · 08/12/2022 13:12

Just had an email saying refund processed by SG (last time I will mention them 😉)
