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

Marking my place

InDreamland · 03/12/2022 21:33

@torthecatlady sounds like you're pretty organised with the tree up and most presents bought. I find writing all the Christmas cards a bit of a chore every year. This year I decided to get them done early before I returned to work after maternity leave, so they were all written at the end of October. I posted the ones that needed to be mailed out yesterday.

I'll join you in being pretty much done for presents now. Just 1 thing left to actually buy once I know what to actually get (from DD's who are 1 and 2 for DH). Majority is wrapped already, just a few things left to be wrapped and a couple of bits waiting to be delivered.

InDreamland · 03/12/2022 21:34

Sorry, no idea why or how that's all in bold

ArthurChristmas22 · 03/12/2022 21:36

On the flowers front, spent a lot of time trawling through sites this morning for my DM bday. I could get no guarantee of delivery on her birthday anywhere with the normal places I'd go due to post and courier issues. Finally got some from Waitrose, they deliver, no issues on dates and free delivery with FREEXMAS.

InDreamland · 03/12/2022 21:46

Does anyone know much about moonshine? DH showed an interest in it recently in a shop (he likes a drink) but I've never heard of it before. What's the best one to buy and most importantly any bargainous ones out there?

Thank you. I can’t see a present icon 🤦🏼‍♀️ Whereabouts did you find it?

Should be under the profile section, which is bottom left.

if you’ve ever signed up to TikTok before or downloaded the app on your phone before, it might not work

CharlieWeasley · 03/12/2022 21:10

It goes up and down a lot on Amazon. I paid £34 ish a couple of weeks ago. Annoyingly it was £32 at the start on November and I dithered about getting it...

Thanks. Need it for birthday this week 😄I should have been keeping an eye as it’s been on his list for months

MadeForThis · 03/12/2022 22:00

@Pawport I downloaded TikTok and a pop up appeared asking me to opt in to the promotion.

I referred a few people but only one is able to check in. I didn't get the referral bonus for 2 people.

I don't know if each referral link can only be used once or twice?

CornishGem1975 · 03/12/2022 22:06

GAME have a Quidco offer today @OdeToAutumn That would be your best bet.

Or if TikTok have decided you've downloaded it before. I haven't ever had it, yet couldn't get the referral code to work, which is a bit rubbish. They allege I've had it before (nope!).

@animalcrossingfan2021 I was looking for the Ariana Grande perfume

Mancbee · 03/12/2022 22:40

I couldn't find the gift icon on TikTok to check in for my second day so I tried clicking my own referral link again to see if there were any instructions I had missed and it took me straight to the check in page. No problems checking in from there so I'm just going to do that every day. It could be worth a try if others can't find the gift icon.

@Notherereally1

There is 20% off gift sets at Superdrug, also I have added a federal link to the referral board for a new cashback site called Super where if you spend £10 or over you receive £10 cashback so you could get this cracker for £10.

With the tiktok offer for the £17 Amazon voucher, do you just go on to the tiktok app each day or are you supposed to be doing something on the app, like checking in somehow for the offer? And then how do you get the voucher at the end of the 7 days? I haven’t had any emails about it. I signed up using one of the referrals on the referral thread. Thanks :)

Daft question but where is this present icon people are speaking of ? I'm clearly being thick 😭

We buy ours from here. The pourers are useful and flavour's gorgeous

Not being thick at all, I couldn’t find it either til another poster helped me 😅 So click on ‘profile’ on the bottom right then when you’re on the profile you should see a present icon on the top left. Click that and It’ll take you to the reward page and you click whichever day you’re on.

That’s rubbish. Someone who I referred it didn’t work for, and they’ve definitely never downloaded it either.

hourbyhour101 · 03/12/2022 23:11

@Pawport ahhh thank you I have got it ❤️❤️❤️

Need a bargain idea - DD is 16 and is a bit clueless about geography - as in where places are. After another mind blowing conversation where she was shocked to find out the Mediterranean Sea is nowhere near the Caribbean Sea 🤦‍♀️ I want to get her something to help her figure out where places are both in the world and UK. So part jokey present but also semi serious (I cannot launch her into the world like this). I thought a globe but would need more detail and don’t have lots of space - ditto for big posters.
Something stocking filler type and cheap but educational?

@Iknownothing late to this thread but I am a Geography teacher and recommend Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall, a great book to show the importance of geographical location on political and social issues. It will help with her locational Geog too 😀

torthecatlady · 03/12/2022 23:27

@InDreamland October?! I would love to be that organised.

I hate writing Christmas cards. I'm dyslexic and find it such a chore. We actually cut down the list last year (which felt fantastic), but I have elderly relatives who would be very upset if they didn't receive a card, so I continue to send them. It's always a nice feeling once they're done! Grin

InDreamland · 03/12/2022 23:31

oatmilkisntsobad · 03/12/2022 22:58

@oatmilkisntsobad thank you. Funnily that's the brand he was looking at in the shop. Any particular flavour the best? How do you drink it? Does it need a mixer? Or drink neat?

InDreamland · 03/12/2022 23:36

@torthecatlady it's only this year I've been organised. Reason being last year I really struggled to write all my cards and wrap all the presents with a young toddler and newborn. I figured this year would be harder with 2 toddlers and being back at work so decided to get ahead to save the stress. It's such a good feeling to have it all done with just a few presents left to wrap.
